Best Player Per Hero

Is there a definitive best player at each individual hero? Even if for a moment, like they don’t need to be considered the best for a long period of time.

For many heroes, at various points in time, it has seemed like the OW community generally agreed that there was a best, but does that apply to every hero?

For example:
Pine best Widow at one point
Dafran best S76 at one point
Sinatraa best predator
Fearless best Winston at one point
Yznsa best Pharah
Jjonak best Zen at one point
etc

I don’t know if there can be a “best” for every hero. I posit that there can’t be a best Mercy player, but I’m not an expert on all the other heroes.

Kenzo, Kephrii and Pine were all incredible. I played against Kephrii in his OW prime and it was scary. I don’t want to play against any of them tbh.

I feel like Surefour deserves a mention since he won the OWL Widow 1v1 tournament, against great players like Pine and Carpe.

Kayjii best Kiriko yos.

Chazm and Yeatle keep up the pace with WBall.

Fitzy flat out for Sombra.

Last I heard Samito is still the best Echo player.

Dafran has proven to be the best “all round hero” pick meaning his mechanical skill is just so insane he’s great with every hero possible, all except Lifeweaver.

BOGUR is the first GM Lifeweaver. Take it how you will, he’s mainly a Youtube content creator. But he’s the best currently for LW.

Genji there’s toss ups because he’s very popular among the higher ranks.

Rein same thing difficult to anaylze the best Rein due to popularity.

Doomfist is heavily bugged with his most dedicated players always leaving yet coming back. Last I saw Chipsa was a great dps Doom while Zebreh is the best tank Doom. Hard to tell because they keep reworking or ruining him due to spagetti code.

For Torb is was Fuey500, but there’s been a couple mentionable players who give each Torb player a run for their money as well.

If you ever use the leaderboards you’d find some inaccuracyswith plenty of the heros #1spots taken over by either Korean or Japanese players. I just cannot for the life of me read or pronounce those foreign characters.

Edit: Eskay for best Lucio, her movement is just insane and her gun usage is smooth.

Phrah is Yznsa, no contest.

Hanzo is clearly the ever calm Arrge. I joke he rather panicks quite a bit but it takes a lot for him to get to this point and he’ll still dominate.

Best Mercy main is Aspen. She proves Mercy is not defenseless so long as she has a gun. She utilizes Mercy’s full kit moreso then any other Mercy player and it is shocking what she can do with that pistol while juggling healing, movement, and gamesense.

I’m the best hanzo player, i just never stop firing and i always win.

JJonak has nothing on my Zen.

well if it works lol

I feel like it’s hard to pick a non owl player for almost every hero, as they are playing a totally different game than good players on ladder. There are plenty of really good players on ladder, but they are also not playing into coordinated teams like owl games.

im the best mauga player (i hacked blizzard hq :scream:)

not to downplay him but isn’t he in masters 1? that being said some of his kills are flashy and mind-boggling, i just wouldn’t say he could be the best.

I feel like there is usually gonna be multiple answers for every hero, but the one that I feel like is locked at this point is:

I mean, the guy is a frickin’ win-machine.

Shadowburn best genji and pharah

Only the OGs will know

Sad to see him not play anymore but he’s the goat
