levels dont equal to skill, there is a invisible skill rating to make sure you dont get unbalanced games, you matcing up against a level 500 means you're playing on the level of someone thats played for 500 levels assuming they've gotten good with all that time it to get 500 levels

- Screenshot of the new stats & career profile page, courtesy of /u/Abelec.
- Removed several stats that were duplicated for certain heroes throughout the career profile
- Controller users can now choose between two aiming mods
- Dual-Zone mode (New default): The vast majority of the thumbstick's range moves with reduced sensitivity and relatively high acceleration. However, when the thumbstick crosses to the outer 10% of its range, it will move with high sensitivity and relatively low acceleration. This mode will allow for more precise aiming, while still allowing players to turn around quickly.
- Exponential Ramp mode (Old default): As the thumbstick moves towards the outside of its range, the sensitivity is ramped up exponentially. The acceleration remains relatively high throughout.
- Camera movement in Spectator Mode has been improved
- Certain commendations will now appear less frequently during end-of-round voting, and others will appear more frequently (e.g., Most Gold Medals and Torbjörn's Armor Packs Created)

someone did a test to figure out which characters had the highest skill cap

honestly seems about correct, i've seen some that felt off and wrong but this one actually seems about right

idk about Tracer being highest skill cap. I have a pretty easy time with every hero *except Zarya, I've played like 20 minutes of her* but I have an easier time with Tracer than I do with Genji.
for me its the opposite, tracer seems so incredibly difficult to play, dont really know how some pull it off, though i guess some characters are just natural to some :/
Moving really fast while keeping decent aim is pretty easy for me, I'd say it's because the majority of my time playing FPS I went for as much speed as I could. Which is also why I mained the shit out of Scout in TF2
its not the fast movement for me, its knowing how to blink and recall properly and doing proper damage, i cant seem to get any damage off when playing with her, yet i've seen tracers tear down tanks
I haven't played her in a while but when either me or @Party Chocobo play her we usually do really well, I can see how knowing when to blink and recall properly can be hard though.
I feel Tracer takes a lot more skill than Genji does. I main Tracer and Mercy, tried Genji, and mowed down a decent team with him with only a couple hours played as him
I just kind of play by instinct. Don't really have any specific strategies, but when I play her I almost always get at least 1 gold in elims or damage.
I guess the main goal is to keep the enemy on their toes. It's easy to win 1v1s against most heroes by just blinking constantly and using Recall when they get you down in health. For example, I can usually win 1v1s with Roadhog as Tracer easily by just running circles around him with blinks.

Tracer is the hardest hero in the game for me, like wow, I can't believe some people have an easy time with her.
I'll stick with my slow as fuck, not very good offense characters like Mei and Mercy. <:
Well yeah, she's meant for chip damage and chasing down low health targets. So of course you're going to get a lot of gold eliminations. And her pistols do a lot of damage if you land all the shots.
Sombra's design got leaked!
There will apparently be a horde mode for the halloween event too.

I don't like her design, but I'm sure as with every character her legendaries will look way better. Don't see any reason to doubt this, looks like a professionally modeled Overwatch character and the original post included a working URL directing to Blizzard
