Then why is Bastion so low? High level bastion gameplay needs some of the best positioning and game sense in the game. Knowing when to utilize each form and whatnot to not get memed on by hanzo.

Brigitte isn’t that Easy. Brigitte need have very Good Gamesense.

So good until about here lol. Mercy and Brig should be above Junk and Torb and Symmetra/Brig/Mercy should all be above Bastion and then everything else is fine tho Reinhardt higher than Ashe is questionable

Why is Torbjorn so Low?

Yeah I can agree with that. But at the same time, I feel like the only reason he’s difficult to play at that level is just cause he’s so bad. If you’re not in the perfect position at all times you’ll get farmed. If he was a better hero he’d be able to get away with being out of position more, like most heroes in the game.

Sym and Brig Maybe. But a Bastions positioning is going to matter more than a Mercy’s at high level, since she has GA to escape better than a bastion could.

Bastion inherently tho is just tell your team to pocket you and you only die once all your resources is gone lol. Bastion is just awful which is why people think he is even above easy mode

Also Bap should be lower than Ashe lmao he’s pretty forgiving

Also D.Va isn’t very Hard. She is like a Easiest Tank, because she has a Infinities Ammos and too Tanky and High Damage.

Yeah I do feel like it becomes a little more subjective down at the lower end of the tierlist. I think all of the bottom 6-7 heroes could be mixed up a bit. I do think Bastion is in a decent spot there though.

This is what bad bastions do. A good bastions is self reliant so his team is also a threat, not just him. That’s why positioning and timing is so important.

76 has infinite skill ceiling

So do most heroes in the game to be fair, Soldier’s is just a little easier to obtain imo

A good Bastion should know get off Bastion lmao. He isn’t hard his hero is just awful like Moira

Orisa is not that Easy to Playing.

Decent gamesense is needed but it’s not enough to make up for her lack of mechanical skill. She might need more gamesense than like Moira/Hog/a few DPS but not really more than anyone else.

Simple aim mechanics + abilities, and he also doesn’t have too much going for him in terms of gamesense other than turret placement, which you can learn pretty quickly.

Her aim mechanics become very difficult when combined with micro missiles at point blank range. Every fight you need to decide whether you should be peeling, diving, supporting the frontline, controlling highground etc., not to mention Defense Matrix might be the hardest ability to master in the game. If this was only ranked on gamesense she would be #1.

Aim with Torbjorn is more Harder for most People because it is Projectile and have Gravity which it make it Falling.

I think it’s subjective whether you find hitscan or projectile weapons to be more difficult to use, but Torb’s is relatively easy to aim with since it’s such a large projectile and it’s still really fast. Plus he has a shotgun for close range.
