For me:
- Least favorite role = Damage
Favorite damage hero = Bastion
Despite being in my least favorite role, Bastion is overall my favorite hero. The minigun is the most satisfying weapon in the game for me, and his design and lore (and Ganymede) are bonuses on top of his fun gameplay. (it’d be even more fun if he still had tank mode though *cough cough). I enjoy a few damage heroes besides Bastion, but the vast majority of them, and as a consequence the entire role, just isn’t very appealing to me.
- Favorite role = Support
Least favorite support = Ana
I enjoy playing all supports, including Ana, I just enjoy playing her the least out of all of them. Her lore, design and VA are tied with Baptiste as my favorites out of the support roster though. Also, despite me disliking almost everything about Kiriko, I find her gameplay too enjoyable to put her below Ana as my least favorite support.
(You don’t have to give an explanation for yours if you don’t want, but I find it fun to read why people like and dislike certain characters)

Least favorite role = Tank
Favorite tank hero = Doomfist
doom is my main and my favorite hero in the game but i hate playing any other tank hero, the role as a whole can be pretty frustrating to queue as because its easy for your team to blame losses on a tank diff
Favorite role = Damage
Least favorite damage hero = Widowmaker
widowmaker is frankly pretty boring to play because its just an aim check, and the zoom tends to mess with my accuracy so i usually will always pick cassidy over widowmaker if im playing hitscan

Least favorite role tank.
But i love playing doomfist, all the mobility and small tech you can do. I really like messing with the enemy team and being aggressiv. Usually dps main otherwise and mostly do genji.

Least favourite Role: Tank - Favourite: Zarya
I used to love tank, but since OW2 It doesn’t feel as great (to me, because I feel so much more pressure on me being a solo tank), also lost my tank buddy and I’ve barely played it compared to DPS/Support in the “new” game haha.
Favourite Role: Support - Least favourite: Baptiste
I find him really bland and boring and would rather play any other hero in the game

Least favorite role: Damage
Fav hero: Torbjorn
Torb rules, idc what anyone says. Keep your everyman point and shoot guys, I want the funky little dwarf with a nail gun.
Favorite role: Support
Least fav hero: Baptiste
Only by the principle of: I can’t play him. I don’t get the rhythm, I don’t like the gun that much (the feedback on successful healing with him is incredibly poor), abilities aren’t that exciting or thoughtful, he’s just not for me. But he’s kind of a beast rn so I subject myself to play him once in a while.

This is a neat idea for a thread.
Least favourite role = damage
Favourite damage hero = Torbjorn
I have more play time on S76 for the simple reason of not wanting to solely rely on medkits for healing, in the cases where the supports won’t or can’t afford to heal the DPS. But when it comes to fun, I much prefer Torb.
- LMB is an arcing projectile that has, imo, a fair pay-off. In games where I’m landing my shots, I feel like I’m well rewarded.
- Overload has decent decision making to go along with it. Do I pop it now for pressure or do I wait until defenses are lower? Do I need to save it for getting out of dodge? That kinda stuff.
- Turret’s neat and an extra element to keep track of, even if I’m the one doing the lion’s share of my damage.
- Ult is underrated, imo.
Favourite role = support
Least favourite support = Mercy or Moira
I’m not sure which one’s more boring.
On the one hand, blue beam is the most dull, unsatisfying ability in the game to me. I have to calculate its impact or keep the scoreboard open to see what it’s actually providing. Valk might be a good ultimate in terms of value but man is it bland. On the other hand, zipping from teammate to teammate and patching up whoever needs it is fun, so it’s a case of peaks and troughs. But I find that Kiriko scratches the same itch when it comes to healing, while kunai are infinitely more fun than blue beam could ever be. And Kitsune versus Valkyrie… yeah.
Meanwhile, Moira feels drab all round. It feels to me like she’s outright missing a gameplay element. The Fade jump buff helped spice her up but it’s not enough for my liking. I mostly play Bap with a bit of Kiriko on the side; my weapon’s impactful when I can actually land my shots and my abilities are hella tide turning. Moira’s wimpy purple noodle can’t really compare. Resource management is just… sorta kinda there, I don’t find it particularly engaging or have much of a pay off.
Typing all of this out, perhaps Moira is my least favourite support, despite me having more playtime on her than Mercy in OW1 or OW2. This might be a warm take, but I think Mercy’s actually not that strong of a character, and I don’t feel the need to ever swap to her. Moira might not be the strongest character out there, but there’s a part of me that feels guilty for not changing to her if I’m having a hard time surviving.

You know, as someone who enjoys Moira, I think that’s why I like her more than the others; she’s quite simple. Not saying all the other supports are grand in complexity, but Moira is as basic as it gets: no worry about calling out who’s slept or discorded, hitting darts and nades, where my team is to teleport/GA, throwing suzu or i.field, just damaging and healing with positioning of your own volition.

That’s fair enough! Nothing wrong with having a Chill Mode™ support.

I can’t really pick a fave role between dps and support, because i always seem to jump in between those two and can’y really decide if i’m mainly a support or dps player lol, so i just main both.
Tank is so boring

Least favourite role: tank
Favourite character: Sigma - I don’t really dislike tank it’s just 3rd out of 3. Sigma is definitely my favourite of the bunch. Managing cooldowns, landing rocks, angling your orb shots, and voice lines. Sigma’s one of those characters when you’re dueling your mirror it really feels like the matchup is decided by your character knowledge instead of things like raw hitscan, first to shoot or outside factors (e.g. a Zarya with more charge). Dva seems to be my best tank (WR), but Sigma is by far my favourite to play.
Favourite role: support
Least favourite character - M & M (Mercy/Moira tie)
Probably the only two I’ve never really touched, for pretty much the same reason. Their kits are a little 2 dimensional and inflexible for me, ie if the team is losing but you’re doing everything right there’s not much you can do to change things like other heroes can. They’re too passive for me to enjoy. I like DPS almost as much as support so maybe I just like being in the fray more.
Even if you go DPS Moira it’s not as gratifying getting a kill when you only had to hold down M1 and do some squats, maybe chuck an orb. There’s no spice. I feel like I’m playing a point and click adventure game

I just suck at Lucio rollouts man. I stress myself out trying to heal the team sometimes too. I suck at killing things while wall riding… ultimately I’m a poopy Lucio.
