Mmm, if you’re trying to find the point at which more skill stops relating to much more output, Ana and Genji shouldn’t be on this list. They frequently stop working in top brackets, as there’s only so well you can body shot (in Ana’s case) and farming dragonblade kind of has a maximum.

Most hitscans, Tracer, Echo, Zenyatta, Hanzo, Ball, maybe Winston just because his ult has an insane skillcap, are the heroes you’d expect here.

Top 5 imo though would be:

Echo
Tracer
Widow
Hanzo
Zenyatta

Its not a meta tier list

I’d say Echo and Tracer are not really hard. Emphasize on Tracer. I’m a Plat Tracer but since my PC has been fixed (and I’m able to play with top performance), I’m able to “abuse” Tracer, dance around people- almost immortal, and one clips.

I don’t really agree Widow has a high skill ceiling because she’s well, she’s a sniper and a hitscan, some people are just gifted and mechanically skilled for hitscans. I feel like hitscans do nothing but point and click, evidently shown by aimbotting players? They have every skill except aim (since they’re aimbotting) on potato level yet they still win games by only pointing and clicking.

I don’t know about the others, but this is what I think tbh.

A hero being hard doesn’t make their skill ceiling high, or vice versa. A hero being easy to play at all makes a skill floor low, a hero being hard to master makes a hero have a high skill floor. So a hero can be easy to play AND have a high skill ceiling (eg Winston).

Even the best Widows and Tracers in the world can get substantially more output by having an even higher headshot rate. Whilst the best Anas in the world can get close to her maximum healing output already, as reliably bodyshotting is achieveable.

Ana, dva, tracer, widow, and either doom or sombra

You are wrong, it’s actually:

  1. Tracer
  2. D.va
  3. Genji
  4. Sombra
  5. Rein
12

Ball
Doomfist
Winston
Tracer
Widow

The top two have a lot of hidden movement tech that takes a lot of time to get to grips with. Primal is the hardest ult in the game.

Sigma used to be like that, but his skill ceiling was drastically cut short with the recent update.

d.va? yea no. shes honetly not that hard to play at all. her ult is a little hard to use but thats about it

If someone can achieve an aimbot level with Widow, wouldn’t they be considered amazing? Especially in a shooter game?

Talent is talent, you can’t dismiss other’s skills and just charge it up to “talent” and “gifted” and ignore the sweat and tear they spent mastering it.

And I would say the same about wall hack cheat. It’s the equivalent of having a god-like game sense, knowing exactly where the enemy is going and what they gonna do ect.

My list would be:
Widow
Tracer
Genji
Ana
McCree/Hanzo
(Honorable mention: Doomfist)

  1. Genji
  2. Dva
  3. Widow
  4. Tracer
  5. Roadhog

Genji: Imagine having someone that’s played genji for 20 years. Instakilling untouchable machine
2. Technically if you put a robot on Dva half of all damage and 100% of all vital damage would be eaten. It would be stupid to play against
3. Widows with good aim can just click heads 4 win
4. Tracer. Good tracking and engaments and there’s no hard counter to tracer
5. Hog. Was thinking whether to put hog or zen or sigma but I put hog because if you spent 20 years on hog mastering hooks you literally can’t be in a 40 meter diameter of the hog player

That’s my list
