Jelly! So wiggly and tasty!

But seriously Zenyatta. I always liked old wise, badass mentor monk trope.

Are you sure they are not :rainbow_flag: issues

They are on multiple levels

Symmetra. Something about her aesthetics and playstyle and character fantasy just gets me.

Also her old photon shield ability (+25 blue HP) is what drew me into the character to start with. I LOVE buff-giving classes in games, and that was basically the only one in the game.

I went from being a Tracer / Reaper main during beta to a Sym main after release because of the blue HP stuff. Shame it’s totally gone!

Probably Mcree,Roadhog and Zen,they all have interesting personalities and cool designs.Also Tracer for the same reason plus she’s British and has a nice butt

When i started i really liked dva, cuz at the time while i was getting the game i was watching videos about the game. Liked dva alot because of her defence matrix being really good. Was also a filthy hanzo main at the time aswell (sarcasm lol). Now i barely touch hanzo and im a tank main these days tho. Rein is ma good boi and the other tanks too. Except winston cuz he boring to me. Mei is also really fun to me. One shooting tracers never gets old. Recently, baptiste has gotten my attention

Hanzo, because of his aesthetic.

Archers always pull me in plus his character design is :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand: especially with his casual skin and the suit skin.

I also LOVE McCree because that voice plus Cowboy aesthetic, and love that friendly southern personality and backstory.

Genji is probably tied for #1 with Hanzo though. He was my first main, I love everything about him from his backstory, character development, playstyle, all of his skins, the memes, like there is nothing to hate

Symm, Mercy, or Ashe. Can’t decide. Fun kits with an attitude? Wonderful :heart_eyes:

Orisa.

Came for the cute design.
Stayed for the multi-tasking gameplay.

Why bother choosing between bodyblocking with Fortify, holding a barrier for your frontline, pumping damage into the enemy, damage boosting you teammates to recharge their ults, or peeling for your backline when you can do all 5 at once?

Don’t even need to be the same targets. Can literally fight a battle on 5 fronts simultaneously.

Brig, because she is SO lovable! Her personality is charming and upbeat, she is beautiful and she makes strangers cry. That’s 4 of my favorite things!

  • No reload.
  • Very mobile walker jet fighter or warthog.
  • Second chance.
  • I love shotguns.
  • I love projectiles.
  • I like good amount of health.
  • ā€œMy Ultimate is- winky faceā€

Still waiting in que for her actual lore. Also curious that MEKA squad resemble similarity to Rangers, does that mean 5 MEKAs can combine together to form an Ultimate MEKA? D;

Does that mean that if 4 other MEKAs finally get introduced into the game, they have special ability to morph together and become META D;

Gasp D;

Moira :3 specifically with the blackwatch skin.

Really fun to play, entertaining banter/voicelines and I personally enjoy themes where gray areas/walking the line are a concept. Moira is just one big gray area of ethics and morality xD She belongs in a dystopian movie.

Zen.

  • he floats
  • he flings orbs at people he doesn’t like
  • boot to the head
  • tranquility is a hell of a drug
  • got Genji to abandon the dark side
  • basically a DPS that heals
  • Lord Cthulhu needs more followers
  • give me a few minutes and I’ll think of more reasons

Mercy is my favorite. For a couple reasons:

  1. When I was studying German in college we had to listen to a lot of German media, watch films, etc. I really liked Lucie Pohl. So when I found out she was voicing a character, I had to pick it up!

  2. I always filled the healer role in other games (Wow, FF, TF2, even D&D). Along the way I’ve grown fond of the good old healer trope.

  3. she’s a gorgeous lady. Fun skins. Fun voicelines. Hopefully to be developed lore soon.
