I main DVA for Tank and Shion/Pharah for DPS atm, because I like diving gameplay, and I think Mechs are very cool.

I “main” support in general, have few that I play.

Mercy

Kiriko

Moira.

Zen sometimes.

Why? Idk, i just vibe with them at some levels.

Soldier: Because he’s simple. I want to shoot people while being able to reposition quickly. And being able to heal myself is great.

I’m a simple person in general.

Other mains include: Cass, Emre, Soj, Sierra

Uh oh, no you’ve done it. How dare you correct their poor positioning? You’re ruining their perfect strategy.

I main Junkrat because of playing Demoman from TF2. I main Cassidy because I’m a fan of Clint Eastwood, the Dollars trilogy, westerns (really need to watch those more), I love playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and single-action revolvers.

I main Reinhardt because he is the only hero masculine enough for me.

I generally play the characters that I play simply because I enjoy them. But I’ll admit that on the whole, I do like the more independent characters like Sigma, Bap and Kiriko that are less held back by teammates not dealing damage, healing, or both.

I like melee, mobility/returning to the flight from spawn quickly, and lethality. And third person perspective. Rein has all those things. And not being about aim skill. I have RSI so that’s very important. He’s the only hero I can play without my hands hurting. :growing_heart:

OW1’s Doomfist used to have a lot of those things too, but now he’s more mobile but also more generic shooter. They did him dirty. :broken_heart:

Kiriko bc she is the cutest and most precious in the entire roster :heart_eyes:. SUGOI KAWAII ULTRA CUTE KIRA KIRA BEAM. Plus that fox can fight back when jumped. She’s not a sitting duck like a certain also precious angel.

I main a couple heroes in each category:

Tank: Hazard / Winston (Just like the dive playstyles, Hazard has his slash, shotgun, and spike wall. Winton has his dive and shield (Also i have a voice line i spam: “Curious.”))

DPS: Emre / Torbjorn (Love Emre’s grenades and his rifle, the ult activation line goes hard. Torb is just pure engineer gaming and being an insanely strong dwarf)

Support: Mercy / Lifeweaver / Baptise (Mercy’s rez + damage boost is great. Lifeweaver allows me to be tactical with his platform + lifegrip, whilst still dishing damage. Baptise lets me really get into the fight adding extra damage whilst still being able to heal, and his rocket boots helps to even the playing field against airborne or shield heroes)

Don’t really main anything, I can play over 40 characters rather well

Lucio is a write off for me though, I cannot figure out how to play him well

Hanzo and Emre are my 2 mains and idk why tbh. I just picked up Hanzo and he stuck and Emre feels so rewarding when you actually do well.

As a real reply, I will forever technically be a Bastion main because the hero speaks to me in very personal ways design wise. At least the original version.

Being able to play a stationary “bunker down” style appealed to me very heavily, and being the center of a fight is always where I want to be. This is why I play Reinhardt now, to be the center of the battle.
