I was recently trying to 1 trick some DPS to GM, mostly because even if you can play some hero in GM, it doesn’t mean you are actually GM on it, so it got me thinking, what is the easiest to hardest DPSs to 1 trick?
Don’t feel obliged to include every DPS in the list, I’m just curious of like a brief list.
bastion
Currently? I’d say the easiest Dps to OTP and rank up is Echo.
The hardest Dps to OTP currently imo would be Bastion/Sym. You can make them work, it’s just that they require alot of experience on the hero and even then they aren’t consistently viable.
In terms of purely ranking up
Easiest: Echo
Hardest: Bastion or Sombra
interesting takes guys. I don’t think I agree with Echo. McCree is played a lot and though Echo is strong, playing vs a good McCree, especially if you don’t have a Mercy, can be really hard. Sombra I’d also put toward the top of the list, for the reason that people don’t really know how to play against her generally.
But interesting opinions, not saying it’s wrong, I don’t necessarily agree but glad to read this.
But there aren’t really that many good hit-scan players while you rank up. The chances that you’ll face an actually good and accurate Cree player is very small considering how many different options there are for DPS players and how many DPS players play other DPS heroes. I mean even in GM there’s a lot of DPS variance because DPS players aren’t usually very flexible. Those who are will wall you off in higher tiers, but Echo is already a high tier meta hero so even if you’re being countered you should be doing well
Also Sombra too requires a good team. If your teammates are down one player and they never manage to even be a decent decoy for you and distract the opponents ever, you’re not gonna do well. Sombra also relies very heavily on EMP and lower ranks are extremely bad at playing around it
The easiest heroes are ones with strong solo-carry potential, with the ability to take advantage of the chaotic nature of most non-GM games. The harder ones are often more reliant on team synergy in order to really gain value from their kits.
I’d say the easier heroes would include Tracer and Widow and the harder ones would include Bastion, Sombra and Symmetra. There’s definitely room for debate on these picks though.
i did both on seperate one trick accounts
send help
how are you gm on sombra? shes useless once you hit mid diamond.
Easiest: Cree
Hardest: Idk, maybe sombra?
Easiest: any hitscan character except mabye widow
Hardest: sym probably
I’m going to hammered for this. But… if I HAD to pick easiest?
Junkrat. Good win rates across the board, no particularly bad rank, and his win rate going up at the hardest ranks.
I think he is sleeper as all hell right now.
Looks at McCree win rates across the board.
I’m not sure about that eh?
I’m looking at from from the perspective of a gm player, and cree only has a bad win rate cause people can’t aim.
Clearly jetpack cat and mauga
They’re unplayable rn
I found thats when she starts being good.
Average GM doing a bronze to GM run will struggle then. His win rate in GM isn’t… good.
His win rate has never been good, even when he was considered the best dps in the game.
I know. He is frequently switched to when people are losing, so, it will always hurt. But, honestly, I’ve always thought a good deal of that win rate is because he just isn’t that good.
The only reason I think that he needs nerfs is because he kinda prevents monkey from being good.
That isn’t a good reason when he isn’t good at facing the regular games.
I mean, he is meant to be countering Tracer in the current comp, but a quick look at their relative win rates show how well that is going.
