In a general patch where no particular heroes are unusually strong
Tank - probably zarya. Low rank stomper, all rank annoyance, hardcounters the most popular tank in the game. Mauga, Orisa, and Hog will obviously take priority in patches where they’re strong. Doomfist annoying as he is the chance of them having a doom main on their team is low enough that it probably won’t be worth the ban slot
DPS - definitely the hardest to say. Probably the role with the most rank variance, widow will get banned a lot but you’d be stupid to ban her in gold (unless targeting a teammate). A lot of the heroes people complain about the most are low pickrate to begin with, and a lot of the high pickrate heroes though often annoying (cassidy, s76, genji) aren’t the type you go out of your way to ban. Overall my guess would be either sojourn, junkrat, or widow. I think dps will be the least banned role in general
Tank: Doom and Zarya. Doom because he’s busted af, and Zarya because she counters so many other tanks
DPS: Sojourn and Ashe. They are both overtuned right now, and poke meta is the least fun ever.
Support: Lucio, Brig, and Juno. Speed boosts and AoE sustain are huge for most comps. Ana is probably the “strongest” support, but nobody is going to ban her since she’s needed.
Some is a bit of an understatement. The people in this community are cringe. Or at least the forums are. But if I used this as a sample size, yikes!!! Hide yo kids…
So these are the top banned heroes in owcs - ana , lucio , pharah , dva-kiri(tie) , hazard ,
Now comparing to outright ranks , I’m pretty sure ana and pharah WILL get banned, people would also ban zarya more than hazard but as u climb ranks hazard will see more bans , this is bellow masters imo
I think she’s stronger on console since flying is so much more precise with a controller, but she’s also easier to counter on console since hitscan with aim assist is crazy good at hitting her while airborne since there are no other targets to interfere with the aim assist.
I will still use her against one hitscan, but probably not two. It depends on how much free time they have to look at me.
5v5
Tank: Zarya/Dva/Hazard
DPS: nothing doesnt have impact without proper support
Support: Kiriko/Ana/Juno When i have to tank i will for sure ban ana 24/7.
6v6
Tank: DVA/Hazard everthing else can be dealt with when you have enough dmg
DPS: nothing same reason as above
Support: Kiriko/ANA/Juno, just hate these hero kits, specially kiriko, such an overbloated kit unlike anything else seen in this game not hard nerfed because skins sell to well. Juno Autoaim that doesnt need any skill dealing 100dmg around 20 corners is also kinda broken imo, needs to be gutted aswell.
to summon it up, i hate anything that needs little to no skill or is totally overbloated and unbalanced like kiriko gets a vote from me. Kiriko is brig 2.0 because ana exists. no other supports can teleport 2 times threw walls, 2shot ad spam you, is invul when 1v1 you and has a team winning ult that gives you a free team fight for pressing q. i hate this witch so much its unbelievable, id rather get hs from widow for 10min straight.
Tank - Zarya/Doom
DPS - Soujorn/Sombra
Support - Ana/Zen
Reasoning being that we all know Ana will be a Ban, which means Sombra/Zen will come into play more often to shut down certain tanks, so they’ll be banned. Because certain tank counters are banned, we’ll see the tanks that are normally countered get banned in response.
