Excluding current heroes that are hard meta in higher elo like Sojourn. Other than her who is the easiest hero to one trick? Some people might say someone like Doom or Genji but I think that’s only if you’re skilled enough to reach a certain skill ceiling. Most people would be bad at these heroes if they attempted to one trick them imo. I think it would likely be a support like Ana or maybe Juno since they are very versatile and work in a lot of different comps. Probably someone like Sigma too for similar reasons. For dps probably like S76 since he’s usually never a bad pick.
As in, the easiest hero to get consistent results as you climb? I’ve done a few U2GMs to learn new heroes on each role, and this is based on what I found easiest.
For Support, I find Juno or Kiriko are really easy and scale very well.
For DPS excluding Sojourn, Cass or Ashe. Torb is decent too. Pharah is also pretty free ELO.
For Tank, I’ve found a lot of success onetricking D.Va and been GM on her for a long time. As far as onetricking a new hero goes, I found Ram super easy.

Probably depends on you.
The wand chooses the wizard, as some say. There’s probably a lot of factors going into who is ‘easiest’ and there’s no one answer or one-size-fits-all solution.

Ana. You don’t need to aim too well to get great access to her great utility.
She is also the dev favorite, so you don’t really need to worry about being nerfed.
She has been a top 3 support pick since OW 1 season 4.
You can’t go wrong one tricking Ana.

Tracer, but Tracer isn’t an easy hero. She’s just the best at fitting into any comp

She had a few bad seasons, like most of Season 9. But for the most part I’d agree with you.
Moira is easier to pick up but damn near impossible to force into higher ranks. Most of the dps and tank roster are more technically-challenging than Ana.

Whoever you are best at.

Why in a game like overwatch, with so many diverse different heroes that all off different play styles, why you’d ever want to be an otp will forever baffle me.

Pretty much, I think. Ana, Kiriko, Juno, Cree & Soldier. Tracer probably, too, but she’s more in the camp of Doomfist requiring a lot of playtime.
But highest on the list are Ana and Kiriko for sure. Those work all the time. Support is the OTP’s dream role.

Ana, Ashe, Sojourn. Easy characters that have x10 the value of the most skilled characters in the game.
I didn’t really have one for tanks, since it depends on the how powerful the role is in the meta, but I’d say Zarya and Orisa for the tank category.
Its very simple. Its bc every character besides Kiriko sucks. Except Dva and Juno, but I’d still classify myself as an otp.

Empathy ain’t taught that quickly 
No because thats simply not true
Zen. Put discord orb on tank. Kick whoever gets close. Instantly champion 1
personally i do the best on moira but yea the no aim thing. still im no pro so i think the best i could be is diamond. i am diamond now with her but thats just placements this season. i probably would fall back to gold if i kept playing heh
For dps probably Ashe. Pharah is free wins a lot of them time too.
Support Kiriko/Ana.
Tank is harder to say since I don’t play them. I imagine Winston for most players or Dva/Doom if we’re talking players investing a lot of time getting good.

Winton is VERY easy to one trick until you get to masters, as long as you know his jump combo and his primal juggle. You don’t need to aim much, and as long as you always target low mobility heroes you should be fine. In OW1 his low shield health made him easy pickings, but in OW2 he’s very strong as long as you don’t play him like Reinhardt.

I wouldn’t be so sure. He is very good assuming a brawl, but he struggles against dive and Sojourn/Widowmaker/damage boosted Ashe if they’re hitting shots.
Easiest to one trick?
Qp = moira
Comp = zenyatta
Yeah but no hero is good against every comp. Since the question was “easiest” im going to agree with the zenyatta pick. While you would indeed struggle against hard dive, you would still win more than losing and climb just leaving orb on tank.
