Ana - Great Idea, Great lore, Great
Character, took a little bit to get her balanced right. 9.5/10

Sombra - Same as above, but creates a really fun mind game when playing with or against her, despite how “anti-fun” her kit can be some times, I think still needs a couple tweaks. 9/10

Orissa - Lore wise feels weak, I didn’t enjoy the bait and switch that was all this stuff about effi. Probably the most niche of the tanks, but I think her kit is pretty well designed with lots of cohesion but not oppressive.

Doom - lore was alright, “he’s the leader of talon” but we hadn’t had enough knowledge of talon and what they did/do to make us fear him or any strong feelings for him, reaper is/was the better villain. Also you’d think the leader of the biggest villainous organization would be some kind of mastermind, but he’s just a guy who doesn’t like weak people and likes punching things. Gameplay is alright, I find him really fun to play, can understand the frustration against him though, but I don’t find him nearly as frustrating as say tracer. Balance has taken a bit and I think he’s always going to suffer from some kind gut reaction nerfs or buffs. Ult is bad, either you have movements and you win or you don’t and you lose. 7.5/10

Moira - character is fairly fleshed out, lore wise filled in a lot of good gaps that needed filling, but not clumsily like with doomfist. Gameplay I enjoy but with and against, though stray damage orbs can really suck sometimes when I’m just running to a health pack. Kit is well designed, great aoe that can struggle when not applied correctly so AOE doesn’t get broken. The only support I can play. 8/10

Brig - lore and character wise is alright, but feels like is lacking a bit of character depth, but that may change with more lore (whenever that will be). The game needed a support that could protect themselves and other supports. But very sloppily designed and implemented. Was a bad solution for a much more complex problem that needed much more careful nerfs and buffs. Forced an entire meta onto a starting to become relatively diverse one. 3/10

Hammond - lorewise poor. Another bait and switch, totally jumped the ship and ultimately ruined most of my interest in the lore. Character motivations are weak too “what will he get into next?!” if the writers don’t take their world seriously, I see no reason why I should either. Gameplay is fine, a unique tank with a high skill cap. His meta just hasn’t come yet so I’m not too sure of how to rate him yet. 7(?)/10

Ashe - Nice character, fits into the lore pretty well, kit is pretty well designed. Think she still needs a few balance changes, once her bugs get ironed out I think she might need to be nerfed a tiny bit (little less damage on tnt and a smaller clip maybe). Kinda disappointed on the inclusivity here though. Another skinny white girl in a game that started off doing very well in terms of reflecting the diversity of the human race. 6.8/10

Ana - 10 - good lore, skill, effective
Sombra - 8 - good lore, skill, effective but a bit wonky in play
Orissa - 7 - okay lore, skill, effective but boring as heck
Doom - 9 - great lore, skill, very effective but seems impossible to get right
Moira - 6 - okay lore, low skill, too effective for output and skill
Brig - 4 - boring lore, utterly low skill, way too effective but improving
Hammond - 6 - he’s a hamster in a ball, need I say more, least its skill oriented
Ashe - 8 - unconvincing origin story, skill pick, hella fun to play. B.O.B!!!

Ana - loved her right away and got a handle on her playstyle very quickly. One of my favorite characters in the game. 10/10
Sombra - her reveal at BlizzCon is still one of my favorite moments in OW history. Love her character, but disappointed with her playstyle. 6/10
Orisa - AN ABSOLUTE CUTIEPIE WHO DESERVES THE WORLD. Like Ana, I got a handle on her playstyle very quickly. She’s one of the only tanks I can play really well. 9/10
Doomfist - love his character and what he brings to the lore, but he’s literally the only character in the entire game that I can’t play very well. 4/10
Moira - probably the biggest surprise of a character thus far. I was NOT expecting to love her as much as I do now. Easily one of my mains for life. 10/10
Brigitte - I’m one of the few people who still likes this character, although I enjoy her in the lore more than the game. 8/10
Hammond - ANOTHER CUTIEPIE WHO DESERVES THE WORLD. Not that great of a character in the game, but still fun to play on certain maps. 7/10
Ashe - wowie do I LOVE this cowgirl. Wasn’t sure how to feel about her at first, but she’s honestly one of my favorite characters to play now. Also BOB!!! So much love. 10/10

  • Ana - 10/10
    Biased Ana main
    She is cool and dynamic to play.
    You don’t feel like a healbot when you are playing her.
    All her kit is fun.

  • Sombra - 10/10
    Biased Sombra Main
    She is cool and dynamic to play
    Can make flanker’s life miserable
    Can make tank’s life miserable

  • Orissa - 3/10
    -Biased non-main-tank player
    -What is that ?
    -At least with Reinhardt you still can swing, charge, KD. With her ? you just afk barrier, afk shoot.
    -I’m pretty sure i would get more fun if i played a portal 2 mod where you can play as a turret.


    -If i could resume her :
    Her playstyle is as ugly and underwelming as her chara design

  • Doomfist - 8/10
    -This hero looks super fun to play
    -Hight Mobility and dynamism
    -Can be sometimes frustrating to play against when you play a hero with no mobility. But this make the reward greater when you kill/counter/survive him.

  • Moira - 8/10
    A really nice kind of support in order to deal with high mobile flankers.
    It’s nice that supports can have the ability to defend themselves, and not just run-away or just pray that a teammate would cover you.

  • Brig - 6.5/10
    Good addition to the game, but i tried her and i didn’t liked the gameplay.
    Since i mostly play Ana, sombra, i can make her life miserable.

  • Hammond - 7/10
    One of your favorite traget to hack with Sombra.
    Specially when he’s about to slam the ground and you hack him just right before, so he fall like child’s ball.

  • Ashe - 9/10
    Really fun to play.
    Again, mobility, dynamism, hitscan.

I love all apart for orisa, brig and hammond.

Orisa shields can singlehandedly win a game of your team don’t play around it plus her halt is kind of cancer.

Brig is game breaking, kind of fun to play but she ruins the game.

Hammond is unbalanced completely stupid if you don’t have any counter picks, but he has far to many counter picks that make him near useless - have you ever played against a hammond without a sombra, doomfist, hog or mei, it’s stupid.

Ana - 7-ish. fun but overall crippled in some areas.has been helped along a little bit with patches
Sombra - 8 i think shes an interesting addition, and despite her rough start I think shes a pretty good hero to have in the game, unique too.
Orissa - 8 shes good and well balanced i reckon. she hasn’t really required any nerfs or buffs imo.
Doom - 5 hes unique but not quite in a good way. hes had a difficult time with bugs and stuff and i dont think he brings anything good to the table, but i can see why people enjoy him
Moira - 8 good alternative healer, i like her dynamic of being able to defend herself and get away easily.
Brig - 5 i can understand why people like and dislike her, but when i heard tank/sup combo i envisioned something else entirely
Hammond - 5 hes okay. dont really get his schtick. the mobility seems useful, but hes kinda just a dmg sponge
Ashe - 4 not really new or interesting character concept, kinda boring tbh.

  • Ana - 9/10

The best healer addition in the game

  • Sombra - 8/10

Finally shes in a good position after all the time in f tier

  • Orisa - 9/10

A good alternative to Rein and i like barrier tanks. Her ult could be better but i like the cute robot centaur

  • Doom - Would like to give 10 but its 7/10.

The addition itself is very great but earlier times he was offended for being in your team, now hes offended because hes in the enemy team and the cycle begins a new.

  • Moira - 9/10

The idea itself is good. The use, the playstyle, and finally a Talon Healer. The only thing what makes her bad is the existence of the medal system. Moira could get all the 5 golds easily then starts to blame DPS even if they do excellent work.

  • Brig - 7/10

Being targeted and harrassed since the beginning and being nerfed in the wrong side. Only a complete rework couldhelp on her but the stun is nessecary whatever everyone says. The self heal what needs to be tweaked.

  • Hammond 8/10

I like his playstyle but hes a little bit underpowered. Needs a little QoL buff.

  • Ashe 8/10

I like B.O.B. as an ult what is OP in lower ranks and UP in higher ranks just like Torbs turret. But Ashe herself is a better replacement for McCree right now.

Ana: 7/10 - decent addition, but somehow always ends up either close to overpowered or being outshined by other supports

Sombra: 8/10 - probably my favorite hero of the entire cast, but I do realize that her balancing has been shaky

Orisa: 8/10 - decent addition, don’t have much to add

Doomfist: 5/10 - I can get behind the idea of the hero, but he’s either littered with bugs, underpowered or overpowered, there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground

Moira: 5/10 - my biggest gripe is that it’s too easy to deal damage with her (even if the damage is low)… and she was basically the start of the healing creep in this game

Brigitte: 2/10 - she never should’ve been added to the game in this form, which is sad because i really like her character design

Hammond: 6/10 - really fun hero to play as, but way too hard to get real value out of

Ashe: 8/10 - finally a decent addition again, now they only need to fix her hitreg issues

Ana: 1
I dont like Ana

Sombra: 7
I like how sombra made a lot of things in the game more interesting.

Orisa: 3
Idk i just find her boring, rarely used too.

Doomfist: 1
Not only does this hero make me want to kms when i get one tapped by him, but as a support player i have to watch other people get one tapped by him.

Moira: 3
Kinda the same as Orisa.

Brig: 0
I like dive, i dont like being stunned, and i dont like to see my allies being stunned.

Hammond: 7
I feel like hammond was a really cool addition but hes kind of just a replacement pick. Theres not really many situations where he is better than the other tanks. Like rein is good on maps like kings row, but where is hammonds advantage?

Ashe: 10
I love this hero, i main widowmaker so im kind of biased that there is a new sniper in the game that is hitscan. I love widow, and ashe is like an advanced widowmaker and its just super fun. Ashe has her places where shes better than other heroes too unlike hammond, so shes not “just there”

Cool and Hype trailer, but the hero was lackluster.

Orisa - 5/10
Same with Sombra, but I was expecting Doomfist at the time

Doomfist - 15/10
It was 3 AM in the morning, and I jumped out of bed with joy when I saw the Youtube notification.

Moira - 10/10
I did not expect her. Really, and she is really good addition. She has class, has sass, but most importantly, she can sass Genji.

Brigitte - 0/10
Oh boy, I used to like her. Her trailer and everything was cool, until I start losing friends after friends because of that god forsaken brain dead of a hero.
Her nerfs aren’t enough

Hammond - 7/10
I wasn’t expecting Hammond to be a Hamster. But seeing the potential in that hero, I really like him. Like Doomfist, the hero has a unique playstyle that can only be achieved by being really, really good at the game. Unlike some support with a mace.

Ashe - 20/10
The moment I saw her and BoB, I am in love.
BUT I SUCK BIG FAT [REDACTED] WHEN I PLAY HER.

Ana, Sombra, and Moira were 200/10 because they’re great concepts and not a waste. Doom is 10/10 because I like him but there were better characters hidden in the lore. Orisa 5/10 - cool idea but disappointed a lot of black girls with the Efi hype. Brig and Ashe 1/10 as I find them wastes and Ashe was unprecedented. Hammond -200. Why put Harvey the Wonder Hamster in the game?

Ana - 9 best hero they introduced she needs all skill and gamesense a true joy to play when you know how
Sombra - Difficult one to answer her first release was a 5 at best she was not good current state is about a 7
Orissa -6 not a bad tank not great either she needs a bit tweaking in the speed department so more tanks are viable in my eyes.
Doom - I love how he is portraited i don’t like playing him or against him still an 8
Moira -6 lackluster easy healer
Brig - Ah yes the antagonist i hate her with every fiber of my being so i’m gonna give her a 3.
Hammond - He is growing on me 7 it is.
Ashe - Character is awesome 8,5 just below ana.

AND A NOTE:
We need a ton of more tanks to be viable.
