Perks are a huge problem

Firstly in a game that encourage swapping to counter the perk system has all but killed that

I’ve found that people just won’t switch now simply because they’ve got there perks up & just play out the game.

They have do something to counter this it has just become pick & prey that you don’t get countered

Secondly the amount of “new” account that seem to have game, map & tech knowledge all of a sudden is ridiculous, it has become smurf central.

Had a quite few people say that they openly created new accounts because of the changes

I love the perk system as it has freshened up the game but there is work to do

They always said they want players to be flexible, but they don’t want the hard counter swapping nature OW has become.

It is doing its job. In time people will realise the perks aren’t that impactful, certainly not as impactful as playing the right comp in the first place. Like ults, no point holding an ult if you’re losing the neutral fights.
