And why? And how would you fix/change them if you could?
For me, it’s Mei. OVERWHELMINGLY strong at close-to-midrange, all while denying your ability to escape from that range to get away from her with her wall, while also having a persisting slow effect even when she stops spraying you, a good invulnerability/self heal to huddle up in when threatened, and a alternate fire that deals a HUGE amount of damage for how fast and accurate it is AT LONG RANGE TO BOOT.
I would add a MUCH steeper curve to her icicle to remove her ability to snipe and remove the persisting slow effect on heroes unless they were last under it’s effects when initiating a mobility-based ability (to keep it’s intended purpose of countering mobility while not making it counter non-mobility even harder)
What about y’all? Who do you hate, why, and how would you change them if you could?

Widowmaker invalidates half of the roster, but not my most hated. That’d be Junkrat the spammouse

I hate playing against doomfist as a tank/support. It feels like there’s nothing you can really do. Even if you stun and sleep him you don’t have enough damage to actually kill him. You basically need a dps to deal with him.

I’d say Widowmaker because I hate her, but I feel like most people will say that…Baptiste is my next choice.
Excluding his super generic character design, he just…Nothing about him interests me. Then his gameplay…In particular, his kill-denial field. Who thought that was a good idea?

Widowmaker by a long shot, no pun intended but she is extremely oppressive in the right hands currently.

Doomfist without any contest.
The ultimate cheese hero.
What’s that? Not enough tank and support players in the game? Let’s make it even less. Picks Doomfist without any shame whatsoever.

I don’t hate the character I’m about to mention. I hate the mechanic tied to her…
Pharah.
Flight.
Flight doesn’t belong in this game, that should be evident by how very little Pharah has been adjusted since launch of this game. She’s countered by all the hit-scans they keep adding, she’s only viable with 3-ish healers out of the 7 and they are to scared or just can’t give her any tiny amounts of buffs to increase her viability in this game because PharaMercy is still a thing and with that still being a thing. You buff Pharah, you buff PharaMercy. if Flight wasn’t a thing. PharaMercy wouldn’t be much of a thing either.
Mercy can glide / hover. Which is why she’s paired with Pharah 90% of the time. If Pharah was not able to Fly, this would become a mute point. Her survivability would go up as a result of being healed by more then 3 of the 7 supports and Blizzard wouldn’t be scared to adjust her as a result. Most likely…
Yes, this may make her a direct competitor with Junkrat as a result. But he also needs adjusting anyways so… that might not be such a bad thing depending on what they do.

Mei. That freeze is annoying as hell. Especially when she just chases you

The one I hate is whoever killed me last.
Seriously though it’s Ashe. Getting killed by the dymanite dot is the most infuriating thing overwatch has ever produced.

I hate Sym, because I play tank. I try going through the single choke point to the objective and get slowed to a stop. Then my team gets too scared to push in and I get melted. Then the team switches to 5 DPS and hopes to win by sniping, but they only shoot the orisa shield…

I’m going with Hanzo. I always get accidentally one-shot from across the map, but when I’m playing him it feels like my shots don’t even register at all.
Even if Widowmaker was still a throw pick, she’s just not fun to play against. She’s a poorly-designed character. She restricts your options for counterplay more than any other character on the roster.
She one-shots most of the roster (which means you can’t use healing or peek at her unless you’re a Tank), she has the longest range in the game (so you can’t out-range her), she uses hitscan (so you can’t dodge it, you can only hope that she misses), and she has a grappling hook to escape from any fights that she can’t win.
Her design is garbage. The game as a whole will be much better when she gets a rework to bring her in line with other DPS characters. Namely, Ashe.

I’d say Doomfist, he’s a cool character but I can’t stand his kit. It’s very hard for me to react quickly to me due to being on a controller. Same goes to Genji and Tracer.

It’s going to be even worse with role queue. Mandatory 4 squishies per team for her to headshot.

literally always has been widowmaker and always will be. I play overwatch cause it’s not like other shooters where you die instantly with no warning randomly. Widow gives no warning and although I know how to counterplay her, it’s not fun regardless

I can kill her with Hanzo but I loathe playing as Baptiste, Lucio, Mercy, Tracer, Soldier 76, Reaper, Sombra, and Torbjorn against Widowmaker because I’m always on edge since she can just delete me with one shot.

Pretty much all the builders. It’s a toss up between them and Brig.
It’s not that they’re OP’d or anything. They’re just really tedious to play against and it slows the pace of the game and makes me go, “Ugh.” It’s like, you have to deal with them before you can actually play the game.
How would I change them? I don’t know. I mean I guess they’re fine in the grand scheme of things, and several people enjoy them. So I guess I’d leave them as-is.
Just a personal gripe of mine, that’s all.

I was going to say widowmaker but several people already posted her so I guess Orisa I don’t like playing against a glorified spammy shield dispenser with an annoying CC ability
