Everyone is talking about “No Skill” characters, I also see some people say “X character takes skill” when I think they really don’t. I’m going to be avoiding bugged and inconsistent characters for the most part, such as Roadhog, Torbjorn, and Reinhardt.
Characters I think take little to no skill
Tracer:
People say she takes great aim, yeah, for like 0.7 of a second. She requires only 70% accuracy point blank with only body shots and a melee, which takes less then a second to kill a full 200health hero. IMO that requires next to no skill. Throw in the fact she has an uncounterable kit and the fact she has the advantage in every scenario, I just don’t see how she takes skill.
Genji:
Projectiles have no damage drop off, projectile drop, and exxagerated hitboxes, not much skill needed there. Dash, which is practically unavoidable damage that doesn’t require really any aim and is on an easy reset, just tag enemies. Deflect which is just press it for instant value. His kit gives him the advantage in the majority of scenarios and doesn’t really take skill. Also double jump spam, instantly become harder to hit and hide your head giving you much more survivability just for spamming a button. Team killing ult that charges way too fast for how useful it is, and has too little of counterplay.
Hanzo
Never really thought this character that much took skill, considering he is a “sniper” with exxagerated hitboxes and now he is a spam character. Basically a more effective form of Junkrat, he is just a spam character now. Ult charges way too fast now with Spam Arrow (Storm Arrow). No doubt going to be nerfed.
Reaper
This characters entire kit is pretty much walk forward while shooting. Huge spread with high damage, makes aiming not a real requirement. His damage is inconsistent, same with Roadhog and Torb so I won’t be talking about them. Honestly think Reaper just needs a rework.
Doomfist
Still inconsistent to a certain degree, but even if fixed doesn’t require much skill. Shotgun that’s pretty much only used on close range on enemies you’ve stunned with your easy to land abilities, so not much aim needed. Ult is practically braindead.
Brigette
Don’t need to eleborate too much on this character everyone already knows why she takes almost no skill. No doubt is going to be nerfed into the ground, she is effective against Tracer(only because of armor giving), so she is going to get the nerf hammer. Did you know people are going from Plat to GM one tricking this character? It’s like Mercy all over again.
Mercy
Requires decent situational awareness and positioning, but is not required to get to high ranks. Also lots of people just duo que with a dps and pocket them the whole game, AKA getting boosted. No skills transfer to any other character. Not much in her kit to get better with. Takes more skill than people give credit.
Moira
Not much too say, there just isn’t really anything to get better with in her kit.
Junkrat
Spam character with exxagerated hitboxes, the hitboxes are getting fixed though. Ult is too effective and easy to use for how fast it charges
D.va
Just overall an easy character to use without too much room for improvement skill wise.
Pharah
Airborne Junkrat with Mercy pocket 9 time out of 10. Takes high skill to counter a low skill character.
Symmetra
Is gettting reworked into a more skill dependent character.
