Poorly designed Heroes

Who do you guys think are the worst designed heroes, I’ll go 1st

Symmetra: she’s too slow for Overwatch 2 and it’s clear that they want her to be a more tactical utility character but have no idea how, Her ult litterally doesnt do anything enchance her ability, just a way to keep her safe,

Mercy: She lives or die by how good her teammates are and her balancing is heavily centralized around rez which the devs have no idea how to balance in a fun way, same thing with pocketing which makes some characters broken.

Pharah: if your opponent has good aim, your useless, if your opponent have Subpar aim, you’ll carry, Not a good design to make a character of such extremes.

JunkerQueen: Very fun to play but was clearly a DPS they made into a tank.

Roadhog: he lives or dies by the hook, having a character that relies entirely on one thing is never going to be good design.

Tracer: Hardest to hit character in the game, so hard in fact that even lock ons and CC have a hard time hitting her, to the point where you’ll need amazing aim in. order. to counter. the. hard. to. hit. character… Yeah Hypermobility is terrible.

Doomfist: He’s lacking in every aspect and his kit can’t hold up battling against more than 2 enemies, which for a tank is pathetic

Widowmaker: If you can click heads you carry, can kill anyone who flanks you and never loose, if you can’t then your almost useless, And 1 shot mechancis are never fun to play against, especially when they can happen litterally every second. designing a character that does so little or so much based on a singular skill, no matter how hard the skill is, isn’t going to be good.

Genji: Mainly Just Deflect, it’s hard to tell what the hitbox is on it, when it’ll end, and the sound que doesn’t even match the move itself. It’s a massive crutch that’s unfun to fight against and shouldn’t be on a character who’s all about dodging, and the devs have no idea how to make nanoblade fair especially in OW2

Sojourn. OWL pros, random strong players from other games say the same - Sojourn is absolutely busted.
