just curiosity i guess… i wanna know who people on the forums main c:
I main mercy because she’s easy to play, fun and does consistent healing! Although I am practicing ana and zen because they seem like fun characters and do great amounts of healing c:
When i first started playing this game i mainly played Mercy and Sym cause OW was pretty much my first online FPS.
I still love them even though Sym drastically changed.
The rest of the characters rn are just not my thing anymore :((
I can play anyone, but I main Mercy and Lucio. I like not having to worry about aiming and still being helpful to the team. Plus both of their kits have killer mobility and that always draws me to a character.
Moira: Because is my favourite character.
Junkrat: Because i like his playstyle, but i cant use him in comp since his kit right now is trash.
Ana: when i want to pew pew. And she is good in attack because nano.
I started maining symmetra in 2.0 and I liked everything about her, I liked how she was special and I like her personality but now she is much less fun for me but I will still main her to torture myself.
Genji because he’s literally the only fun hero in the game. I don’t get enjoyment from pointing and clicking on hitscan heroes, I get enjoyment from being able to flawlessly execute combos, which is something only Genji can really offer. Grinding with the goal of getting consistent with his combos despite it being an essentially unreachable goal is more satisfying than grinding with the aim of being able to hit every headshot on McCree or Widowmaker ever will be.
I sadly don’t have a main. There are characters I play more and can pick to help the team. I often like playing Mystery because it forces me to play heroes I wouldn’t otherwise, learn weaknesses and strengths, and problem solve when getting smashed. I also love killing an opponent who is clearly loving playing their main and then have to switch onto someone they can’t play.
I do pay attention to what pros play in OWL because it helps me understand which heroes, when played well, not only mesh but are most effective… especially when my team needs that one piece of the puzzle.
Finally, I think I don’t try to main because there’s always a chance the main will be changed for the worst.
McCree + Sombra for the most part.
McCree because I joined from CS and he’s basically deagle the hero and Sombra because I’ve always loved stealth and rogue-like playstyles.
