What characters actually have a high skill ceiling?

Lowkey, who actually takes a ton of skill to do well at the highest levels.

Hmmmm…
Let’s go with… Reinhardt.

Wrecking Ball for sure

Tracer, Widow, and Ball are kinda the obvious choices.

people really underrate the Rein ceiling

Junkrat players have to smoke 3 bowls of crack a day to do well anywhere above Diamond. Top level Junk is insane.

I think its: doom, ball, tracer, rein

(Even with dooms tech mostly being removed or nerfed, he still requires skill lol)

i been playing sombra a crap ton in ow2 and i hardly see a mirror sombra. probably because it takes time to get use to her so i would say sombra also. especially tomorrow when she gets nerfed, then you wont see her at all probably

According to KarQ, it’s Doomfist, Ball, Echo, Tracer at the very top, with many heroes entering the “Very Difficult” tier beneath it. Though I’m sure this forum will have some choice words about mercy and moira supports not being up there.

I think Kiriko and Baptiste have the highest ceilings for support, as they need to weave damage and healing in simultaneously. Moira technically can do this also, but for the most part she’s sucking or pissing, rarely swapping back and forth rapidly. Ana can do damage but it never really should be her focus unless it’s absolutely necessary.

While Zen is the most aim dependent support, his support abilities are very hands off and his ult is easy to use (the hard part is not getting killed before the right time to use it)

Sombra at the moment is on the easy side.

In OW1 she was hard because when you hacked you lose the stealth… now in OW2 she just runs and spams hack on the tank or hacks support and destroys them with that juicy 40% dmg boost. In trouble? No worries… TPs back to 300m from the fight…

It’s like the easy version of Tracer.

Can confirm.

That’s the scary part. Imo they actually accidentally created the most intricate character rather than intentionally. And the intricacy actually revolves around exploits/bugs/unintended-interactions (and I meant those words in a neutral way) most of the time.

if she is so easy how come she is a rarity? maybe people just hate her lol

every game i see soldier, genji, mccree or sojourn. been seeing TONS of pharahs too, everybody is exploiting pharmercy which is stronger in ow2 imo

Definitely lmao, that’s why Top DPS dooms were so damn scary (and they still are as tanks) you could easily be one shot by a doom using multiple tech.

Yeah I was a doom hater until I realized 2 things:

  1. His decent sized hitbox. It’s big enough that he doesn’t really actively cripple your aim consistency, just challenge it (hit all or die). Same can’t be said about tracer and genji.

  2. His 4 digit number of techs and ways to combine and use them. That takes decision making into another level. I still watch GQO from time to time for that. I still don’t enjoy the hero but I sure ah can appreciate people making him work to a beautiful level.

100%, I used to be a Dps Doom hater until I found Zbra due to OW2. I now find a sudden appreciation for Tank/Dpsfist onetricks, and I’ve even started trying him in the practice range :pray:.

The amount of combos you could do was insane also.

Tracer and wrecking ball.

Pharah and Bastion, for sure

Id say lucio has one of the highest skill ceilings
