Most broken heroes in each role

Imagine you could play each hero without counterpicking and then see which of them stand up the best in 1-2-2.

Well, you can. RQ MH lets you do that. No counterpicking - just unlucky if you do get countered. It shows up which heroes are pretty busted without being able to choose your team comp against them.

Tank: DVa.

I just had my forth game in a row where I got DVa and never died from that point onwards. If DVa is not countered by Zarya or Symm then she gets free wins way too often. Close 2nd is Zarya.

DPS: probably Mei with Symm and Torb very close

Without ranged hitscans being common these heroes run riot.

Support: Weaver

With Illari or Mercy a close 2nd. Weaver pull is very strong and petal for rescuing a player. If he focuses on keeping the best hero on his team alive then he is very valuable and does more healing than any other support.

That’s an interesting list.

Weaver? Mercy? Lmao. Baptiste is easily the best support. Who cares about how much healing you can do when the entire enemy team is dead

Interesting is a very careful choice of word :melting_face:

I think the whole premise of using any MH to assess RQ strength is extremely flawed, but that said your idea is still missing something: it primarily shows their base kit, without Ult getting factored into the equation.

That said RQMH doesn’t actually show anything, besides which team wins first fight, as it’s by design the stompiest mode possible.

Why isn’t Ana the best support? I thought she’s supposed to be undiveable and counters every single tank

It does when there is a pattern like DVa surviving way longer than pretty much any other tank when there are no beams. The time a hero is in the game getting value without dying consistently game after game is quite telling. And this means those heroes are getting ults, sometimes more than once.

I first thought the rng was really bad and giving mei, torb and symm all the time (it is really bad as you hardly ever see hitscans though), but it turned out that it was just because those heroes live for so long once they are in the game. Same goes for weaver who rarely dies unless someone just doesn’t know what they are doing.

mobility tanks: eg ball is probably the lowest risk character i have ever seen in a game, monkey has mobility and got ranged poke, dva’s argueably the best tank for all of OW1/2

mobility DPS: eg, get all the same results as regular dps, but with half the aim requirement

auto aim healers: well because it just aims for you lol

learning to control mobility is not hard and in every game that has mobility options it is by far the strongest mechanic.

more people should take the time to get a feel for it

Not really, she’s just a really good tank with solid survivability and a pretty poor Ult, so naturally she’ll do well in the “win first fight and then steamroll with endless Ult advantage against people often playing unfamiliar characters” abomination that is RQMH.

I’d argue that especially Ball, and also Doom, IF you are good on them are far more survivable when not insta triple countered.

Ball specifically is almost impossible to kill without multiple sources of CC.

  • D.Va - you’re right.
  • Mei, Symmetra, and Torbjorn - way off, not even closer; it’s Widow and Ashe, undeniably.
  • Support - Lifeweaver might just be the worst, not the best; it’s Juno at the moment, maybes Baptiste overall.

Weaver? Broken?
He is quite literally the worst character in the entire game and it’s not even close.

Something wrong with the rng in RQ MH means you hardly see hitscans at all. But when you do they are generally short-lived. Mei and Torb especially survive consistently much, much longer than any of the hitscans. The most common ult in game is mei ult because she generally lives the longest of the DPS.

Yes, the Mei and Torb is going to work wonders when rng gives the enemy Pharah Mercy

‘‘The heroes that are actually really bad are broken, not the hitscans that make them obsolete’’

The jokes write themselves.

From what I get told by normal console players, a lot of those losers are just bad and would likely complain in PC too.

DPS: Tracer, Ashe and Widow
Support: Ana, Baptiste and Juno?.. dont really know much about support or tank

I mean, there are top 500 PC players crying about Reinhardt. Anything is possible if you are a gamer.

Reinhardt has this little thing called ‘‘getting constantly buffed’’. He isnt weak and he is hard to deal with when he can just statcheck entire teams and w+m1 entire teams now that most of his counters are poop tier.
