Probably hanzo or zenyatta. Any hero is viable in pubs though, the balance is good enough that it's hard to pick as I've seen players dominate with every class.

Winston or Zenyatta.

Winston is a tank who isn't tanky enough, and doesn't have the damage or utility to make up for it, and Zenyatta just has other supports in the game (namely Lucio) who do pretty much what he does, but objectively better and with better stats.

Reinheart is the only real tank, the others are bruisers if anything.

>People actually think winston is bad


He's probably the 3rd most run character in comp.
>>
>>339219310
You talk trash about Winston but D.va has every disability he has but ten times worse. Winston is great and is basically what Winston should be.
>>
>>339219560
>comp is the same as a pub

Winston is good at picking off low HP heroes and at disrupting the other team.

He only works when your team is coordinated and supports him and this doesnt happen in pubs
>>
>>339219594
I think the overall issue is that D.va and Winston are pretty much the exact same character.

Except Winston does it better with a better shield, at the cost of having a low chance of actually killing anything, which isn't the point of his character to begin with.


D.va is more likely to get a kill out of it, but she does the entire disruptor thing a lot worse.
>>
If a tank is there to soak up damage, in a way Winston is the opposite where he can jump into the backline and wreck whoever is doing THAT damage and jump out.

I mean its a ridiculous high jump on low CD, what else are you suppose to do?
>>
>>339219660
Yeah and surely competitive play is a better indication of a characters usefulness since people in pubs don't cooperate and play like complete shitters. People in pubs call Bastion OP for crying out loud.
>>
>>339218336
Fuck you, Zenyatta is my man.

But he could use more health.
>>
>>339219773
Dva also has a nuke of an ult that combos well with Zarya and she is also literally unkillable if the player is any good because with a few headshots you get your mech back almost instantly
>>
>>339219902
Too bad she's shit
>>
Poo in the Loo is the worst character in the game. She's a piece of shit design with a piece of shit backstory and a cunty voice.
>>
>>339219773
Winston has slightly lower dps but a 100% aimbot. He has longer fucking effective range too. Yeah he can't outdps tanky strong damage heroes but he'll fuck up every single squishy there is and a few more, aimbot fucks up lucio and others too. His jump has a short cooldown, his head hitbox is smaller than D.va's (and not centered), etc etc.
D.va's robot dies twice as fast, but at least she doesnt' actually die out of it. So I guess the only thing she has going for her is that she doesn't die as easily, and can stay harassing?
>>

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hwKVCpoCa43imjfgAAQdUknjABo8m_TOYvI4KyAsbqQ/edit#gid=63027879

These are the current competitive play match percentages and the current tier list until another one is made.
>>
>>339219552
wow no love for Zenyatta
>>
Genji is the worst. He's basically Tracer except nowhere near as effective. Poor damage output and a shitty ult that is easily dealt with make him a slot better suited for tracer.
>>
>>339219152
unless youre shield crawling, theres no reason to get hit by sym's charged shot

sentrys are pretty weak and she has a lot of counters that are popular characters

getting her ult takes a good while, as does any support aside from lucio i suppose
>>
>>339218342
>Winston D, VA, Zaynetta

Their Ults secure the objective and Zenyettas helps like fucking crazy when the whole team is capturing.

Didn't know Lucio could kill a sniper in 2 hits or completely obliterate a Bastion or a Roadhog.

Oh wait.

MAKE EVERYONE KILL A SNIPER IN 2 HITS OR COMPLETELY OBLITERATE A BASTION OR ROADHOG
>>
>>339219310
Winston is the ultimate anti-sniper cancer hero. A common competitive comp is to have two Winstons constantly leaping into their squishy back line for free mercy/widow frags.
>>
>>339218336
Fuck you, Zarya is my man.
>>
>>339220070
Not surprised, hopefully next patch they'll nerf the fucking huehue and buff based robot Buddha
>>
It'd say hanzo. He's not bad, but widowmaker does sniper better, and his ult is basically just a short area denial unless you have another CC ult (Zarya, reinhardt, etc) to keep people there.
>>
>>339219902
Except Reinhardt can shield his whole team from that ult. Just aim his sheild at it up close.

Winston.
Not necessarily because he's designed poorly, but it just seems so difficult to learn compared to the other characters. Even if it's difficult to learn the ins and outs and subtle stuff, you can kind of do guesswork and play around and do alright with any character. With Winston, you just sort of die and don't contribute to your team most of the time unless you know what you're doing.

Probably D.Va

A mech suit shouldn't be doing that little damage or be that easy to kill dammit!
>>
>>339220296
And D.Va does that same job but better, at least in pubs, and I won't judge heroes by how they are in comp until an actual comp scene develops.

That's like telling me that there should be a Kritzskrieg Medic in every pub because the (nonexistent) comp scene in TF2 pretty much always has one.

So what? the reason for that is because the Kritzkrieg comes online before the traditional medigun, and the comp teams can take advantage of that to teamwipe anyone with just a regular medigun.

In pubs, the teams are so uncoordinated that it doesn't matter, so the more potent effect of the normal Uber is often better. Same in Overwatch: so what if a super-coordinated team can use Winston better? The competitive scene basically doesn't exist, and so all that we have to go on is the pub experience--where D.Va is literally a direct upgrade to Winston so long as both your team and their team are less than perfectly coordinated.

Lel, this fucking list is written by some scrub.

Zenyatta is by far the best support character in the game. His orb of discord allows him to 1v1 any character that has the misfortune of running into him, meanwhile being able to have a decent heal on any target they please.

I don't really understand why non-professional players even bother with tiers.

Tiers for high skilled players do not apply to normal players.

D.VA

Zenyatta is bad as the only support. He's great as a 2nd support. His heals are just not close to good enough to be the only one.

With her teleport, your team is still dying with a respawn timer. If you go double support, its better to go Lucio and Mercy. The goal is to keep everyone alive and in position

No shit, it's a fucking ult, you only get to use it 6 seconds out of every 180. His healing is pretty crappy overall, but his discord orb gives him some serious utility when theres another support to do the actual healing.

I agree a strong wind could bring on a kill cam, but he Fucking pelts people hard with balls of steel, all while healing (you just have to have los, and that can be much further then both other healers). Discord can seriously clear shit if used correctly, and his ult is amazing for a push.

But he needs a serious buff In wither the health or mobility department.

Don't get why people still think this is wrong. Symmetra is great, her right click wrecks if you aren't 1v1. If you are using her 1v1 and just run you're an idiot. Getting a POTG isn't hard

Certain characters are fine for certain situations, but if you're a pubshitter then playing three or four characters generally meets all your needs.

I've gotten as high as 38 eliminations with D.va in a single match, but she sucks balls in some maps. For those I'd rather use Pharah or 76 anyways, if you're not a shitter you realize some skill sets and playstyles adapt better to your own than the other way around.
>>
>>339223196
who are you quoting

>>339223305
Nobody is going to argue with you on that, she provides nothing but solo support. Anything she can do, the other tanks do substantially better.

>useless when not in mech
Literally everyone underestimates her out of her mech and you can easily fuck up whoever destroyed your mech immediately. She has a long range and decent firing rate paired with a small hitbox outside of the mech too. Stop being shit.
>>
>>339218240
Junkrat or Hanzo, probably. Would add Pharah to the list but at least she has fantastic mobility and can get right over top of the objective to shoot rockets.

>Junkrat
His grenades are weak and slow, you pretty much have to randomly lob them down a narrow chokepoint or behind some wall and pray someone on the enemy team is retarded enough to walk into them twice. He can only lay one incredibly obvious bear trap at a time, and needs to be really close when it is triggered to get a kill, making him useless defensively. Slow, low-health ult that can be destroyed by any hero, even squishies

>Hanzo
Widowmaker but shit. Mobility is not good enough to make up for his lack of firepower and bow charge time. Easily taken out by Tracers or Genjis because he has no way of knowing when he's getting flanked, unlike Widowmaker. Most telegraphed and useless ult in the game not even good for area denial because it's over so quickly and easily avoidable.
>>
>>339223305
She can output more damage than Winston if you actually use her well.
>>
>wasted 500 coins on garbage
yay
>>
>>339222918
I always wonder if Genji pickers have ever played any other hero in the offense tree. After trying so hard on a shit hero, you'd go gold in kills just picking McCree everytime
>>
Zenyatta, who really needs mechanic changes or a buff or something.

then Hanzo who is honestly not that useful to the team unless someone hyper-competent has him and even then he's not someone who saves the day much. His ult sucks.

Then Widowmaker because while the shitty netcode does make it easier to headshot people, you hardly ever stand on the objective which makes you overall less useful than someone who is skilled with another offensively oriented hero.

Then D.va who while having the best "Get the fuck off this point" move with her ult is otherwise mostly useless since they nerfed her handgun. She does save the odd payload push however if you got someone who is really fucking good at dropping her mech smack in the middle of a checkpoint.

Everyone else is pretty okay. Zarya's shields really need changed back to the way they were before and buffed rather than this thing where they just completely eat like a single shot and then vanish. As it stands they're only really useful for charging her gun up and even at 100% her gun can't compete with point-blank fan the hammers or Roadhog shotguns.
>>
>>339223478
They should really give you currency per match, it dropping exclusively from boxes is retarded.
>>
>>339223472
Unfortunately, characters like D.Va require a competent team to work with. That is single handedly why she's the worst tank, right now.
>>
>>339223316
Yeah exactly. No character is shit so long as you have two mains for both attacking and defending separately. Maps factor into a character's abilities so much.
>>
>>339218240
Tjorborn or Bastion

They are utter trash and only work vs terrible players.
>>
>>339222759
Genji is really good, but his melee damage and ult could use a buff. His ult is just so risky to use and he needs to play perfectly to be able to 1v1 anyone.
At least when everything goes his way he's really strong, but there are a lot of things that can ruin a Genji's day.
>>
>>339222985

>>
>>339223516
>since they nerfed her handgun

Her handgun is still gud, though.

>>339223554
I find her easier to play when there's another tank in the team. If it's a Rienhardt then perfect, but even a Roadhog will do.
>>
>>339223614
>Symmetra
She really needs to be moved to the defense choices. She's not a support character, besides her ult.
>>
>>339221248
But that's literally true for every support other than Lucio, and Mercy does the second support role better than Zenyatta does because she can damage boost and revive the entire team
>>
>>339223572
Good thing everyone is terrible. You can pretty much win every Defence with 6 Tjorborns.

>>339223572

My premade stack encountered this several times and we never lost.
If we assume decent players + coordination then 6 tjorbs is a terrible combination.
>>
>>339223305
D.Va is bad, but Zen is much worse. Orbs of Harmony/Discord should have a minimum base time where they are effective out of sight and then require to be in line of sight to keep it going. Harmony's healing is not good enough and Mercy outheals him by a large margin. His damage is decent, but nothing jaw-dropping and he's basically a floating square box who is ridiculously easy to hit.

>>339223472
She out DPSes him for all of one and a half seconds, which is about how long it takes to hold down S and get into mid range where the damage goes from 28 a tick to like 6. Meanwhile, McCree's fan hammer can still bring down a Reaper from full health at midrange about 50% of the time.

It's disgracefully bad that you need to choose between firing and using either of your specials. If she could at least fire while boosting/having the matrix active, it would increase her pressure game tenfold.

Not only that she's fucking fantastic for separating a healer from their assault class. Can't tell you how many times I've knocked up a wall on a mercy and punched her shit in before the wall came down only to repeat on her buddy.

I'm glad people don't realize how good Mei is. And they probably never will since her role rarely gets her POTG. Not a lot of kills but the distraction and crowd control is what makes her the best.

It's 14 damage. It's a pretty fast projectile and a decent fire rate with no falloff that can headshot. It sometimes leads to hilarious instances because people are stupid and vastly underestimate how fast it can shred other heroes who don't show an ounce of respect for the weapon and forget that Hana is as thin as a rail and kind of odd to hit the player model of.

Soldier 76. He's easy to use, but he's also insanely good.

If someone is on screen you can hit them, so shoot. If you get hurt, hit E. Right click on people when they approach or if you can lead them well.

Notice the position of the cart and the timer. They had one meter left with no one there at 10 seconds left, so they all rushed in to activate Overtime.

After that Reaper killed three of us with his ult, Mercy rezzed in response, two or three enemies came back and we cleaned them off.

The teleporter was only used by one person, but even that helps because it's like a Mercy ult that can be divided and used at any time.

I would say Widowmaker.

I only say this because you actually have to have twitch and prediction skill, and map knowledge in order to be helpful to your team: the skill to power ratio for her is really high. Yet a bunch of people are attracted to playing her despite lacking those skills and end up just being a detriment to their team.

To those who are good in her role can change the tide of battle, but one could also argue that for any character.

I would also say Hanzo for the same reason, but his bow is just as good 10 meters away as 400 and his Ultimate is good at both breaking up the enemy team or killing anyway to close to avoid it; so he is just as dangerous if you assault him.

>the skill to power ratio for her is really high.

Compared to snipers in other games? Not really.

She shits out DPS even if you can't land a headshot to save your life. Her issue is that the game is full of dedicated squishy-hunters like Tracer and Genji.

Widowmaker has violent retard strength DPS and the hitreg in this game makes landing shots super easy. WM is also forgiving as fuck for a sniper character. Partial charging quickscopes up to 70% safely one-shots Reaper/Mei, and you only need about 55% to take out 200 health classes. 100% charge instakills squishies and if you don't get the kill you can immediately fire again due to the nonexistent cooldown between shots despite being A FUCKING SNIPER RIFLE. Grapple hook gets her out of bad spots where she should rightfully be dead but still gets out with a sliver of health since they made her have 200 health for God knows whatever reason. Spider Mine lets you know who's trying to push a flank route and overall damage over time makes squishies like Tracer and Genji fuck off, and her Ult is literal wall hacks that charges up in a kill and a half. Just having her on the enemy team makes Zen completely unviable.

I find it funny that everyone I know who isn't a regular FPS player who is playing Overwatch (because Blizzard) insists that WM is and will be totally fine.

D.Va's shield eats a lot of things, she's great in the backline when defending.

High Noons, Wildhog's ult, Hanzo's ult, Riptires, Reaper's ult, Zaria's ult, Phara's ult and most of Soldier's and Bastions if you point it at them while they are shooting all get eaten which can really fuck an offensive charge.
Probably Tracer's and Mei's ults too but those are harder to catch.

Also her peashooter is pretty good at taking down large targets like Winston and Roadhog so she's pretty useful even if not "good".
