Your best Overwatch heroes?

in gaming •  8 years ago 

When I look at the stats for my Overwatch account I consistently find that the heroes I play best are not necessarily the heroes I find the most enjoyable to play. My Zenyatta, Soldier and D.Va. All of these heroes are high rate of fire spammy heroes and while there is the little differences in play style that make you better than others playing that same hero, it's still a case of spam for ultimate charge and dump an ulti. Rinse and repeat. I find these heroes significantly easier due to that play style but at the same time I don't necessarily enjoy that play style.

I probably could have put all of this better as I realise the game is based around charging ultimates etc. and you could argue that all heroes have the same play style if you follow my explanation but I guess my question to you is do you find the heroes you do best with aren't necessarily what you want to play?

I love McCree for example and I can have huge games with him where I dominate with constant critical picks but the consistency just isn't there as it is with other characters. Whether this is a problem with my skill and play style or a balance issue I don't know. What do you think?

I need to start making more videos on a regular basis again but since I mentioned Zenyatta in the beginning of this article here's a short clip that wont take up too much of your time.

Cheers

I have the most fun when playing as Symmetra - I love how people always underestimate the amount of damage she can dish out in close range.

Otherwise, I usually play D. Va when the team needs a tank or a Lucio when a healer is needed.

Yeah I have started playing sym a little more recently and I usually do quite well. As long as you have decent positioning, people just melt. Great fun.

I think D.Va is just one of those go to's where I know I will do well regardless of what is going on. Same with Soldier and Zen.

Im pretty good with Ana when the team needs a healer. I am able to reach many different team members quickly and still do high DPS. The character iIhave most fun with is Zarya because you can play very aggressively. Drawing fire from the rest of the team and helping to protect your healer.
Of course as my name might suggest Winston is great because of his mobility and ability to get to the back characters quickly.
This is all from quick play matches tho, im sure my strategy would be different in league matches.

Yeah I love Winston and have been playing him way more since the shield buff. That little cooldown change was really all he needed. Since you mentioned Ana and high dps in the same sentence, have you played much Zen? Quite often I find myself with gold or silver damage AND healing. If you can hit those headshots and prioritise targets efficiently Zen can single-handedly hold games down.

I like Zen too and maybe its situational. I find Ana can heal quicker if you have a large health pool on your team (several large tanks are pretty easy to hit and heal quickly). Plus the sleep ability can shut down an ultimate instantly (Genji, Mcree, Roadhog, Reinhardt) Im not the best aiming with Zen either but maybe I should give it another try. The discord orb makes a huge difference and maybe I wasn't using it to its full potential before. Good luck out there!

ahhh yes, the zenyeeter in action !
