Should've mentioned that Hanzo shoots a lot slower than before. Your positioning has to be pristine to survive on him, more so than most heroes at this point. Also the environment he's playing in is a big deal. He's playing by S8 rules in a further nerfed state, while nobody else is.
New players don't have access to all of the characters in the game, they unlock them gradually by playing. I don't understand why would anyone recommend a new player who knows little to nothing in the game play tracer? It's hard to bring value to your team when playing her as a NEW player, which this tier list claims to be for. Why not familiarize new players with the game by suggesting to play easier heroes like reaper, bastion or junkrat?
This is just the average tank experience honestly. It’s not just a wrecking ball issue. If you are even decent on any of your characters as a tank player this is the shit that you have to deal with game in and game out Especially when you get out of plat. It sucks honestly but it happens because you’re the only one in your role and the entire overwatch player base is just programmed to do shit like this because “fuck the tank” I guess and the role will always be miserable in 5 v 5 format because of it no matter how much they buff or nerf the role. With 6 v 6 coming back. It should get rid of this shit hopefully.
These are legit. I don’t play FPS. I love OW by meaning I’ve been following since it released. Its design, animations etc. are my cup of tea. However, my poor ass never had a chance to touch any game devices except a potato mobile( 7years of SS galaxy s6). Until life and things became better, I started to catch up some game to play. OW2 was my first FPS I ever thought of. So, I considered myself new and having Rein, D.Va, LW, Venture as main. I’ve been pretty much playing Juno lately. Tho, I still have to practice aiming a lot more😂
I’ve mained Sigma since he came out. I love him so much. Such an endearing character lore wise with dynamic gameplay. He’s got a badass ultimate and I feel like I actually have to time my decisions when playing him. Sig, Ram, and Doom are my mains as I am a massichist tank player.
Same, easily the coolest character in the whole game imo. I feel like he's got no love the whole of OW2 though- barely anything in terms of buffs and lots of nerfs to his tanking ability. Doesn't feel like he's great apart from on long range maps which is a shame
dont ONLY take a tier list like this into account when deciding who to main, remember your preferred play-style, where you excel most in other fps games, and seek to understand a character’s kit before deciding that theyre the pick for you. example: if you have terrible flick aim, don’t main widow to start. if you dont enjoy playing a mainly supportive role in games, dont pick someone like brigette. if you dont like playing frontline characters and tanking damage, maybe rein and hog arent great picks for you! Play to your strengths unless your goal is to learn something new! ex: you have really good hitscan tracking? maybe soldier or sojourn are solid picks for you! you like jumping around the map and being a mobile support? maybe juno and kiriko are some characters youd be interested in! you like diving backlines and making the enemy supports and enemy widowmakers hate their lives? dva, doom, tracer, and even lucio might be right up your alley! don’t worry too much about meta, though it should be taken into account, it is not the end all be all. a torb with tons more skill and experience on torb will in almost all cases beat a decent cassidy. a great mercy CAN provide more value to a team than an okay brigette. meta isnt everything, but the less meta characters often fall into a niche that makes it harder for them to generate consistent value in every setting, so main whoever you like playing the most and do well on, but don’t have them be the only hero in your roster.
I’m new to overwatch and I like playing life weaver, Lucio and reaper. All fit playstyles I like and it gives me a little flex in terms of who I can pick. Recently tried Ana and their fun but life weaver is just so fun to nullify ults.
I think the biggest achievement for Juno is that she's really strong and fun to play both as and with, yet she's not frustrating to play agaisnt at all, I love this hero
She is cool but i dont agree with the playing against part entirely. Hey lets make Baptiste but better vertical and horizontal mobility and lets also just for funsies let her speed her team also lets give her mini high noon as an ability that denies flankers easily and also heals your teammates at the same time so you dont lose out on healing. Oh her ult? Basically transcendence but also with better damage boost than mercy has (on her whole team) and unlike zen she can still do stuff. Also lets give her shield health because why not? She is absolutely busted hahah
@@gabrieljohansen9239the ult is OP. The rest is meh in terms of being cheese to play against. I don't think she would hit my top 15 for disdain to play against other than her pairing with dva but that's dva fault moreso
Main whoever you think is the most fun, that's what the game is for!!! BUT if you wanted to strategically pick your main this tierlist is my opinion on that, enjoy!
Watching you play I think you’re thinking way to hard Ive been playing rat since like 2017 and I know the more you act like the character of Junkrat the better your performance That is to say, be the biggest dumbass anyone in that lobby will see all day
I dunno, noobs on Reinhardt are a coin flip: they either never shield up or never swing the hammer. And the fatal urge to charge right into the enemy team is too strong.
Me a rammatra main basking in the S tier :) In all seriousness I agree though. Ram is pretty good and teaches all kinds of things to new players. Leading shots, blocking damage/cooldowns, blocking healing, chasing kills, catching people out of position and punishing them. Its great. Great hero. Very very fun. would recommend for a new player
If you new to overwatch Don't let a teir list dictate what charater you play, Experiment find what playstyle you want and what fits for you half the fun is just playing a random charater and seeing if you like them
I gotta say, i really don't like the video seeing the thumbnail. Its like saying to people to blindly follow mainstream. If no one plays sorten heros, they wont balance weaked/less played heros. Damn, am i wrong here?
He literally said multiple times that this is a tier list for which heroes are good for new players to main LONG term. A hero having complexity is a GOOD thing for new players because it ensures you'll have fun long term because you are constantly learning new things and getting better at the game and the hero. You wouldn't recommend maining Mercy for new players because she doesn't have a skill ceiling and she doesn't teach you anything about the game. Almost none of her skills are transferable to other heroes so you'll just be stuck to being a mercy main forever.
Don’t listen to this guy, he hasn’t even put in 50 hours of playtime into each hero yet….. just kidding, I love you Yeatle keep up the great work bro ❤
I think Zenyatta is THE BEST hero to main as a new player since he only teaches you the right things. You have no get out of jail free card, only your kick and your insane damage. Good cover usage, good aim, good flanks etc. are crucial to perform well on him. I onetricked Zen when I first started in OW2 and within 40 hours on him I reached masters
switching from moira to playing zen got me from diamond to T500 in a few months. He has extremely high carry potential and if you make a mistake you’re heavily punished.
Plus maining a support that has high damage and relatively low healing means you have to focus on providing skill based value every second. You can transition to any other flex support plus lucio and squeeze more value than you would if you had adopted a healbot mentality early on. You can also transition to any hitscan dps and you’ll have decent mechanics. The only role you’d have trouble taking up is tank because zen does not practice cooldown management at all
Generally a good list, though I would have liked a bit more of 'why is it good/ bad to play as a new player'. Hard disagree on Kiriko though. Her cleanse gets thrown around at ppl who lost 25 life with no stun in sight till at least low gold.. Even if they try not to, they would need to know all the abilities and timings of many heros to use her properly. Moira is better than B, if you are new and want to play sup. Improving aim is a thing she doesn't do, but like you said you can really learn the game flow and maps and comps, because you don't have to concentrate that much on your hero's abilities. And she has a 'nope im out' button, which can lower frustration lvls early on quite a bit.
Y'all aren't understanding... As a new player you would want to invest in a character that has longevity and reliability even throughout nerfs and buffs. Just describing who is "easy" for new players would not provide, in all honesty, any valuable information whatsoever
Yeah Rein is good to learn, but to main? That sounds like torture. So many characters either bully him or can easily run away. Main Winton instead. He teaches you all the same things as Rein and is more flexible.
I personally think solider 76 is the most underrated general use hero. Simply because of how flexible his kit is not necessary excelling in one area but ready to deal with most situations. I also personally main reaper btw (I like his hellfire skin and thought his lore is cool pls dont) pls don’t hurt me
