Who’s the least intelligent hero?

I think misplacing a one of a kind game console and an entire education system are in slightly different leagues here.

Yeah, he’s at least up there in ‘chemistry teacher’ levels of intelligence, maybe more since his stuff can actually heal him.

Cassidy is canonically smart. Like a “hides behind a stupid cowboy veneer” type smart lol

Everyone in Overwatch is more intelligent than the average person.

Honestly, Widowmaker probably has the fewest intelligence feats off the top of my head.

ETA some people are right; I guess it could be Bastion. I was mostly thinking of the humans

You take that back right now. I will not tolerate slander on Winston’s 3793rd pun.

Well it works doesn’t it? Not only that, but he’s also immune to his own explosives, except for his leg that one time.

Just a good example I could think of lol.

If you become a ruler of a large place you tend to delegate a lot of stuff, so you can work on other aspects.

Moira is smart enough to complement him on it, but she’s less accepting to try it herself.

Could be an ego thing or seen as out of character since Moira did experiment on herself and others.

Maybe she’s impressed that someone like him could make something that isn’t absolutely lethal.

But it’s still beneath her.

Roadhog was also part of a guerilla revolution—though I think the extent of his involvement in any organization there is still not explicitly stated. There’s a short story for him that probably clarifies his smarts, but I haven’t read it.

I think you might be the least intelligent hero

Wrong thread chucklehead, stop following me.

Following you? I’m just posting responses to threads. I didn’t even read the name of the person that posted this, but it makes more sense now that I have

That’s a lie, this thread had no animosity of any kind directed at anyone, I was just discussing lore, yet your first comment was directly insulting me.

It was supposed to be a playful joke, I’m sorry if you took it a different way.

It wasn’t a joke, it was just an unprompted insult, regardless of how you intended it.

Whatever you want to believe friend, lol.

If someone said that to me, I’d laugh.

What makes you think Ana and Widow lack combat training? Becoming a sniper requires a lot of specialized training. If these 2 are stupid, then soldier and reaper are in the exact same boat

While JQ is initially portrayed as a streetwise survivalist with a good head on her shoulders, her in game voice lines make her sound borderline mentally handicapped…like she is only in her position because of her grit and nothing else. It really kinda derailed her character…like which is it blizz??? Kind of the same with Kiriko’s age blunder…

Anyway, assuming JQ is supposed to be how her original cinematics portrayed and NOT a windowlicking brute…I think Bastion doesn’t have a lot going on in that CPU. I think he has the thought processes of a developing child, and it is only the destructive programming that makes him seem like anything beyond that.

Probably Genji. He grew up spoiled and was kind of a playboy before stuff happened to him. He went on his self-healing and reflection journey after he got roboticized, but I don’t think that stuff would necessarily make him intelligent, just more tranquil and skillful.

Idk, Mauga seems more reckless, than just plain dumb. Cass is not dumb according to his lore.
I would say Junker Queen, Zarya, Reinhardt…bastion xD

Right?? Don´t forget that annoying snorting she does, when laughing.

She is cannonicaly autistic. That doesn´t impact her itelect capacity.
Most genious people in history had poor social skills and were considered “weird loners”.
