In terms of competitive play, which hero would you say requires the most communication, and which one would you say has the least callout potential?

I think tracer dont actualy need to communicate, or at least thats what i saw so far in this game. After all she dont need to say “i gona flank” or “I have my ult”
Most? I dont know what hero need most communication, most of them at some point should announce something like genji “i have my ult” etc.

Most - Winston, Zen, or Sombra
Least - Brigitte, Junkrat, Bastion

Most: Sombra, as one of the characters I have been maining lately, Sombra is many times pivotal on call outs, from who you are hacking, a count down for EMP and the scouting to tell the team where the enemy is coming from. Those seconds and callouts tend to win games.

Least: Tracer, hanzo, doomfist. I feel is like they do their thing, normally they don’t communicate anything since zarya is the normally the one coordinating her ult to combo with these guys.

Sym is as close as you can get to throwing with no communication

9

No, many symmetras play without communication and do just fine.

Most - Sym. Her tele is basically all communication.
Least - Bastion

Yeah you just aren’t using what The devs intended to be the main part of your kit (team mobility)

12

You dont even know how a symmetra player plays in a competitive game.

13

I use to be a sym main my account was soommatra I played her in gm

I stoped playing sym because she isn’t fun for me anymore. She feels much less dynamic

I’ve only seen one person say it, but I’d say that one of, if not the most communication required character would be Zen. If you’re not calling out your discords, the team doesn’t know who to focus without specifically looking for it. And its a lot easier to just focus on the callout than it is to look for the discord orb over their head in a firefight. Then he has to call out when he’s going to trance to get the team ready to push in.

Least, I’d say Junkrat. He does his job with no help from the team unless he wants to call out when someone is in his trap, and usually its close enough to him to capitalize on it himself anyways.
