What Characters Suck the Fun Out of the Game for You?

Note: This thread is not about whether a character is overpowered or not

Personally, the most anti fun heros to play against for me are Widowmaker and Sombra.

Widowmaker is just so good at the top of the ladder, some Widowmakers are scary to peak even as a tank. The way she forces you to play is very irritating and unfun, and while they are very skilled players, nothing feels worse than getting one shot across the map.

Top 500/ GM on Xbox is riddled with sombra mains, and they don’t joke around. They get key hacks that get immediately focus fired and it’s insanely hard to stop with infinite invisibility. On top of that, EMP is literally a free team wipe and it’s extremely frustrating to play against, especially when the best players have it up every/ every other fight.

What Characters tick you off to no end?

Widow and Hanzo. Hanzo is annoying because in one moment that player can’t hit anything and in the other every one of his shots are headshot. And Widow cus playing against a good widow is pretty terrible.

Sombra and doomfist. One makes me unable to use any abilities, and the other takes away my freedom to move. Combined, it’s like I’m just watching a movie, not even playing the game

Sombra

Not being able to use my skills is boring

Widow / Hanzo

Hiding behind wall simulator isn’t a fun game mode

At my rank, Pharah, Doomfist and Brigitte.
Pharah is such a poorly designed hero imo. She’s the only hero that can fly so half the roster can’t even hope to touch her.

Agreed

Thankfully mass rez is gone forever!

I find Torbjörn a bull character. I dislike having to deal with his turret.

Doomfist is another one I find very irritating to deal with, as well as Tracer.

Like some others have said, probably Hanzo and Widow. I don’t think they’re OP, they’re just not fun to play against imo. Some others like Sombra, Doomfist and Mei can also be pretty annoying but you don’t see them nearly as often and to me at least it feels fair dying to them, since they actually have to risk something.

Mostly Hanzo and Genji.

Hanzo having spike damage at any range is really infuriating, even if he isnt so good at longer ranges, due to the fact that lucky headshots feel more like bs.

Genji is just personal. Having some bunny hoping melee spike damaging, small rotating hitbox ninja jump all over your face making you feel helpless for half the battle just sucks.

Sombra for obvious reasons, her whole kit screams it.

Hanzo and Widowmaker: strongest weapons in the game, really hard to deal with. Unless they miss a lot. Fighting them feels mostly like luck.

Zarya: i just think her bubbles are a kill joy.

Moira: ok but die tho

Symmetra: watches a Hammond roll into a car wash and just accept his fate

McCree: he’s totally gonna get a Deadeye quad kill. Don’t know how, don’t know when, but its coming

As a consequence, someone is forced to play Rein every game.

How fun.

Just playing Zarya is a kill joy. I Find her incredibly boring to play. Being persuaded (forced) to play Zarya cause grav sucks.

I wish OW would’ve introduced more aerial heroes by now to accompany the already existing Pharah in the sky.

It would be more engaging to have other heroes air-borne with her, or against her.

I really like playing Zarya. Using a bubble to save the life of an ungrateful/oblivious teammmate and then use that enwrgy to completely melt tanks is incredibly satisfying

Doomfist

Yeah I understand that. I think her kit is rewarding. I find the execution of her kit, the way the abilities interact with the environment and me as the player… a little boring? I don’t know how to explain that. She’s obiovusly not for me, hence why I am never willing to play her.

But for those that love to play her and particularly are on my team, much love :heart:

Oh also,

as a support main, I cannot relate to this more.
