Who will be your main in OW2?

General Discussion

With the change of pace in the game, the reworks and the 5v5, lot of us will finish by trying new things.

What character do you think will be your main?

If done well, The Fox :fox_face:

I think support wise I switch from

Moira/Mercy/Zen to Brig/FoxGirl/Moira

As DPS:

76/Ashe/Torb to Ashe/76/Soljourn

As tank:

Dva/Orisa/Zarya to Orisa/JQ/Zarya

Brig definitely.

Likely Orisa and JQ as well, depending on changes for launch. If neither click, Sigma might be my go-to tank instead.

Reinhardt. I can finally play without being handicapped with Hog and Ball feeding one tricks and double shield will finally be dead (thank god). Granted it’ll be weird on Kings Row without having Zarya beside me, but with the changes to Rein it’ll be ok as he’s a lot more enjoyable to play.

Same as OW1.
It doesn’t matter how much they butcher d.va I will still play her until something better comes out.

The only thing that may make me reconsider are the queue times if they remain the same (unlikely) but there is always open q anyway.

I’ll always be a Tracer main at heart. But in terms of actual playtime, might focus on Bap, Brig and tanking in general for the first couple months with no clear main.

Don’t know about Fox yet. If she’s a Mercy like hero, I sleep. If she’s a Genji like hero, I ascend.

For me personally I will definitely main all the 3 new heroes.

Was doing JQ and Sojourn in the beta already we will see about Fox

Mei-be mei because she’s the only hard CC in the DPS roster. Essentially a 2nd damage sponge in a 5v5 setting with self heal, cleanse, and splitting solo tank on enemy team from their team or blocking ana heals.
Blocking shatters and stuff will be clutch. Her spray is also stronger against genji now that it does more damage.

JQ depending on how severe the nerfs are. Rein and Winston otherwise with some Zarya mixed in for tank.

I suck at DPS but probably Reaper and Junkrat. I’m in the weird camp that I liked Soldier with spread more than with recoil so I might try out Sojourn.

Healer is Brig all day.

Torbjorn until they revert something of Reaper and stop to hate him without a reason :face_exhaling:

A fairly significant number of my friends are tank mains, like myself. Meaning I need to make a decision between solo play, or playing other roles to split the time spent tanking. Since I enjoy playing with friends more than solo play, this means I am going to have to play other roles more often. That is going to mean less being a D.Va one-trick, and more time spent playing support and maybe even DPS, a role of which I generally don’t care for, outside of the “utility” DPS (Sombra, Mei, and Symmetra, and to a degree: Echo), and particularly for the hitscans: a playstyle I’m both generally bored of, and as a result awful at for my overall lack of OW experience on these characters. Given I two-trick D.Va first (3000+ hrs) and Mercy second (800+ hrs), I guess this means becoming a "Mercy first, D.Va second sort of two trick, even with everything conspiring to push me into becoming a “full flex” player (lol) or that revered flex support main (even bigger lol).

Giving my experiences on the betas, these will be interesting (frustrating) times for me, to say the least.

Probably Junkerqueen tbh.

Playing Tank was so fun in the beta & every other tank I’ve played for years, she’s fresh.
