Rank all the hero’s from hardest to play to easiest. Taking in everything like positioning, ability management, coordination, hero’s ult, aiming. All of it.
Don’t take anything as an insult to anyone, it’s all based on personal experience. Not around stats and statistics. We are all good at different hero’s.
Would be really interesting to see what people think. List gets pretty difficult around the middle.
Easiest to play - Mercy
Hardest to play-widow or genji. Also Hammond.
Easiest-brig/mercy

Not gonna list em all, but id say the hardest few are: genji, tracer, mccee, widow, ana, hammond, zen. And the easiest few being: brig, mercy, junkrat, moira, orisa.
I agree.
Genji?
I mean, Sombra, Tracer, Ana and McCree takes more skill in my opinion.
Sombra is hard but with team effort even better. And mccree has fan the hammer but besides that you have a point I think in my opinion. I can never learn mccree.
Easiest to hardest:
Brigitte
Mercy
Moira
Soldier
Reaper
Bastion
Dva
Junkrat
Symmetra
Pharah
Reinhardt
Lucio
Roadhog
Tracer
Torbgod
Hanzo
Sombra
Doomfist
Zarya
Winston
Genjo
Mccree
Widow
Wrecking ball
Ana
Zen
Mei
My opinion.
Easiest few: brig, mercy, Moira.
Hardest: Tracer, genji, Hammond
Easiest: Those peasants you call “heroes”
Hardest: Lord Torbjorn
I’m gonna be that guy and say that it helps to define “hard” first. Because you’ll get a variety of answers for different interpretations of the same question. Skill floor? Skill ceiling? Effort to reward?
Reaper is a fairly easy hero that is very hard to play at the top level because he isn’t very good. That sort of thing.
Some call me a teacher, others call me a terrorist. Lesson one: heroes, there are no such things. (Plz tell me you get the reference)
Mei hardest to play? LUL
This. Before I answer, I need a clear definition.
Probably skill floor or ceiling, not actual value as a hero, otherwise Bastion, Junkrat, and Reaper would be some of the hardest heroes.
I’d love to hear why cause that may be the most whack list I have seen in my life. Pharah harder than Soldier and Sym? Mei as the HARDEST? Hanzo harder than Tracer? Torbjorn harder than tracer???
Eeeh, i couldnt do one across all categories because comparing dps to tanks or supports is a bit like comparing apple to oranges since they require different things. How do you quantify for exampel the skill it takes to master Hammonds movement compared to aim requirements on someone like Ana for exampel?
1 - Easy to pick up, minimal growth potential, usually does not require mechanical skill or much coordination to receive value
2 - Good learning curve, may not require either mechanical skill or coordination
3 - Harder to pick up, requires either a lot of practice or teamwork to properly utilize them
Categories inbetween the numbers indicate uncertainty on where to place them.
This list is my personal opinion and based on trends I have noticed so it does not represent the base as a whole. It is also not in any particular order.
1 - Mercy, Brigitte, Moira, Reinhardt, D.Va, Junkrat, Hanzo
1.5 - Orisa, Bastion, Reaper, Torbjorn, Pharah
2 - Zenyatta, Lucio, Roadhog, Mei, Soldier, McCree, Genji, Symmetra,
2.5 - Zarya, Wrecking Ball (?), Doomfist, Ana
3 - Winston, Sombra, Widowmaker, Tracer
To note, I think Ana is leaning towards 2 rather than 3, and Orisa to 2. I’ve also listed Wrecking Ball as “?” since I’m not entirely sure about him yet, though from what I’ve seen without communication he’s a worse ult battery than Roadhog a lot of the time plus he’s a hitscan.
Also, just because I listed a character in 1, does not mean they are “skill-less.” It’s just that I think that the learning curve is far less and as your go higher it is hard to tell the difference between players sometimes.
Man all these Winston mains saying He’s the hardest hero Jesus.
Easiest to hardest
Hardest is Widow and easiest is Doomfist.
