Mirrored Deathmatch Thread

Hey guys. If you don’t know I’ve made a deathmatch thread before. Since arcade deathmatch is on hold for various other game modes we might as well have a thread about mirrored deathmatch.
Mirrored Deathmatch works like this:
5 separate rounds that switch the players from one hero to another. Whoever has the most points at top 4 wins. There’s no 20 point cap like regular games, so it’s anyone’s game during the 5 rounds and getting the hero you’re good at.
Heroes shown in mode: S76, Doomfist, Widowmaker, Hanzo, McCree, Ashe, Zen, Ana and Pharah.

What do you guys think of this mode?
Have you ever gotten past 30 points in this mode?
Whose your best hero in this mode?
Best/worst map to play with this mode?
Finally, Do you prefer mirrored over regular DM?

For me: I really like mirrored deathmatch. I have managed to get 32 kills in one match with a nice K:D. Best hero is McCree and Zen. As well Hanzo at times. Best map for me is King’s row. Worst is Petra given the timed rounds. I would prefer mirrored over regular DM, but I’d still play regular deathmatch for fun. If I want to play seriously, then I’d play mirrored for a fair balance match.

Kinda boring tbh, felt like they couldve put a more interesting mode in

Yep, twice

Pharah

Chateau Guillard

Petra

Probably not. But hey, at least no one goes moira or brig

why won’t they expand the hero pool? it’s a fun mode and all, it just gets stale cycling through these same characters again and again

but i gotta say, the ana round is always the most fun :joy:

I loathe the fact that it keeps rotating through heavily aim-based heroes while matching me against Plats while I’m a Silver. Heck, I’ve seen Diamonds and Masters on occasion. Can get a bit frustrating, but at least the RNG isn’t as terrible as Hero Gauntlet.

Hoping regular DM returns after Anniversary is over.

mostly for those that are late to anniversary update or just players that always play comp/qp/custom games can get a heads up.
