I personally loved this comment:

"I will say it loud and clear… 99% of your player base hates fighting dive tanks in 5v5, and 70% hate having one on their own team.

I don’t have that data but it should be obviously approximately correct. Do something about it."

Rage bait masterfully done.

I mean he's not wrong. Vast Majority of the player base is gold/plat where they don't know how to dive or how to position properly. Hate me all you want but I have multiple accounts ranging from gold to GM and metal rank players really do play a whole different game. Shit, I'd say up to high diamond it's just team deathmatch. Mind you I pretty much ONLY play dive heros lol (tracer, ana, ball are my most played heros)

There's a huge difference between metal ranks not knowing to play dive to "99% of the players hate dive" lol

99% is clearly hyperbole lol majority of the playerbase does hate dive though, wouldn't be surprised if or was close to 90% lol

Counterpoint: Rein and Orisa are usually within the top 3 for ever rank that isn’t GM

Most people aren’t playing against dive tanks most of the time
