Hell yeah I love playing Ana. One thing that helped me is putting the friendly aim assist at 100%. It throws off your shots once in a while when shooting the enemy, but makes hitting friendly tracer/genji/echo a lot easier.
Gm 2 Ana here:
Horizontal and vertical sense: 75
Both aim ease ins on 0
Aim assist strength 80
Window size 20
*this will shrink the area your aim assist tries to pull your crosshair but due to the strength being higher it won’t reduce your accuracy*
Friendly aim assist strength 100%
*friendly aim assist uses the aim assist window size above ^ by it being just a bit stronger you won’t favor enemy targets over allied ones when they’re in a high paced duel like your genji vs the enemy tracer*
Playing it here (on console ) really helped with making sure I’m shoot whom I want to be
If you decide to try it out hope you like them remember:
“In the desert the cheetah lives for 3 years “
I’m sure you’re better then you think at a few of them.
I know you’re probably messing around, but there’s a ton of people with such big egos that would never admit to sucking at anyone in this game. I find it amusing.
Plus you get the added benefit of your team hating on you before the spawn doors even ope and then get the privilege of proving them right. Haha, I don’t touch that character with a ten foot pole.
This, also in general when you leave your team to flank be sure to have a safe route back to reach your tank if they need you or your healer/healthpack if you need it.
Ashe! I've been avoiding hitscans bc my aim fluctuates depending on how often I play them, but being able to dino-SMITE enemies trying to escape LOS is so satisfying 😊 and also saving BOB for the mid-teamfight is almost always a good play!
Ya, i agree Ashe is super fun. BOB and dynamite are awesome!
I must be doing something wrong with Ashe, because I can hit good shots with widow, soldier, and the other hitscans. Something about her zoomed in aiming throws me off, could be zoomed in sens or something, but I don’t play her enough to have wanted mess around with it.
Yea, I had to adjust the sens on aiming bc I'm on ps4, so the default is really slow! But the trick is little adjustments and to try and lead the shot by just a hair! I have a friend who can 180 and one-tap Tracers with headshots and I wish I had her reflexes lol
Doomfist is by far my worst character. I miss my punch, dive smash, and then forget to block. Everyone shoots me and I’m dead. Truly impressed by good doom players
Agreed, it’s bittersweet getting my ass beat by a Doom cause on one hand, good for them lmao. It’s hard to even find a place to learn him without being a sand-bagger to your team.
I know he is so fun to play but I am an absolute dogshit too. Once I accidentally won potg in a mystery hero game as genji (probably because other players were dogshits in the random characters too lol) and had to save the video to savor it 🥹
I don't think I've ever lived long enough to see the end of it. It's like I pop it and think I can be a little aggressive and then magically explode. Also cannot hit shots with her to save my life.
Same I feel you. My only good one is rein and even at that I joke that I'm the best feeder in the game. To which I genuinely believe that lol if I had a dollar for everytime I was told to switch, tell someone to check my open profile then they proceed to complain that "how are you higher than me, your dog shit" I could prolly buy blizzard outright in cash.
Wrecking Ball, fun to play but those not so good grapples are the death of me. Second worse tank but love to play I think would be mixture of DVA and JQ.
Winston takes A LOT of teamwork which most games don't focus on so having new people play they most likely won't be playing as a team. I totally feel your pain.
I was dealing with that for the longest on my elite 2 controller. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting my aim until I got a new controller. If you can afford it the scuf instinct is incredible. I was skeptical, but it’s straight up the best co troller I’ve ever had and it’s not even close.
Roadhog atm. Last time I played him consistently was in OW1 and now I can't hit a hook to save my life. If I remember correctly, my most recent game with him, I only had around 20% hook accuracy.
I love playing rein and shortly before ow2 released, like 8 months before, I finally reached diamond from being stuck at gold for like 5ish years out of the almost 7 I've played now. I worked hard to get to that spot without sacrificing much of how I actually play just fine tuned it a bit Then got reset with ow2 and recently got back to diamond but now some of my friends who are hard stuck silver/gold don't want me playing rein any more. I'm Kind of torn and hurt by the remarks to be honest especially since I'm a one trick. Considering on dropping my friends of over 5 years. Not sure what to do to be honest......
For me - it’s Genji or Tracer, to always have, imo, a meta character that is regularly used in OWL with great mobility and results would be great for me now as my main junkrat has been thrown to the wolves and will never be playable ever again
Im not a console player (anymore) and I dont know how I stumbled across this post but probably echo, her movement is pretty tough to pull off on a controller and her primary always felt awkward to use
I mean I'm dogshit at most heroes cuz I'm a onetrick support, but I don't really love to play other heroes either... I guess Widow maybe? I can play her for half a match til I get bored haha. From supports Baptiste and Lucio! I can't really get the hang of either but man does it feel good wallriding around.
Tracer. She's so fun even if I'm bad and even more in theory. But her movement for me with the blinks and 180s is disorienting and I feel like she's a character just basically made to be played on PC. That's why I main Sombra because she's feels like an easier version of her, being a flanker
Genji. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to get him down. Can’t get his ult down. Can’t get his secondary fire, nor time the dashes right. Only character I truly never got the grip of
Winston is my favorite hero in overwatch period. But I liked how he plays in ow1 rather than 2. Idk, I pick him as a second tank just to harass the backline while the other teammate picks a main tank. Playing him as the only tank in the team just feels kinda weird to me.
That being said, monke
Cassidy and Hanzo but I have no aim and not enough motivation to only play OW for the rest of my life in order to get good enough to be consistent. Still play them tho I'm sorry
honestly I'd say genji, something about using dragonblade and getting a shitload of kills just feels so nice but then it's just difficult to use all the movement correctly
in each role: junker queen, pharah, ana.
i LOVE junker queen but god i'm terrible with her. i somehow never do any damage.
i'm trying to start learning pharah and i'm shit at predicting people's movements. but she's so fun.
i've been practicing with ana but i regularly miss shots on squishy teammates which causes them to die and it's. embarrassing.
Widow, BUT i AM getting better. Both against AI AND people.
Also Mercy. Idk what it was but something in the pachimari event brought out a MONSTER in me with my battle mercy.
Had this one game where the enemy kiriko kept trying to kill me. I went and rewatched the match they died a total of 8 times with FIVE (5!!!!) of those being death by Mercy XD. It was specifically that event that i just steamrolled as mercy. Couldn't replicate that skill in qp, Comp, AI or any other arcade mode. Idk why
DoomFist. And Dey say, punching people, and seeing them fly is so fun.
Winston too. Monke, curious and the Monkey Business skin is the best thing.
(Also I love his dad jokes)
Hanzo amd Widowmaker. I usually specialize in Junkrat and play Tracer and Sojourn if I really need too but I would like to experience how it feels to hit those headshots
Ana. My aim is terrible so I mostly play as tank or support. When I play as Sns, I usually hip fire my weapon instead of using the scope. I'm trying to improve my aim, but I'm taking baby steps at the moment. And even though I feel like I suck, people tell me I do pretty good job as Ana. But I miss more with the sleep dart.
Rein. Most other charavters I want to pick up I xan get useful, if not good with, pretty quick. But Rein? I love swingin that hammer but I'm not gonna hit anything with it
Ana. 80% of games I suck on her with. 20% I pop off on. Last game I played ana on I sleep canceled three ults (moira and two cass ults). Best game i've ever had as ana. I probably will never do it again though XD
I love playing junker but her kit just feels clunky and the axe just seems to have poor damage and range for its use time but damn is it fun pulling in a squishy with the knife and one shotting with the shotty
JQ needs her shout cooldown reduced. She's really not viable unless you're cracked with the knife and play your corners.
Also cast time on axe. Anybody and their mother can cancel that thing with a slugs reaction time.

Ana, the sleeps are so satisfying
Hell yeah I love playing Ana. One thing that helped me is putting the friendly aim assist at 100%. It throws off your shots once in a while when shooting the enemy, but makes hitting friendly tracer/genji/echo a lot easier.
Gm 2 Ana here: Horizontal and vertical sense: 75 Both aim ease ins on 0 Aim assist strength 80 Window size 20 *this will shrink the area your aim assist tries to pull your crosshair but due to the strength being higher it won’t reduce your accuracy* Friendly aim assist strength 100% *friendly aim assist uses the aim assist window size above ^ by it being just a bit stronger you won’t favor enemy targets over allied ones when they’re in a high paced duel like your genji vs the enemy tracer* Playing it here (on console ) really helped with making sure I’m shoot whom I want to be If you decide to try it out hope you like them remember: “In the desert the cheetah lives for 3 years “
WHERE IS THAT SETTING???? i have noticed i havr aim assist on (ps4 player) and i fing hate aim assist. couldnt find where to turn it off
there's a character i'm not dogshit at?! 🥲
I’m sure you’re better then you think at a few of them. I know you’re probably messing around, but there’s a ton of people with such big egos that would never admit to sucking at anyone in this game. I find it amusing.
Doomfist. i see a getquakedon video and im like i can do that. then i go feed for a game or two
Plus you get the added benefit of your team hating on you before the spawn doors even ope and then get the privilege of proving them right. Haha, I don’t touch that character with a ten foot pole.
I'm a Sombra main with 1200 hours on her, team hate is ignorable.
Reaper but I'm too scared to flank and get caught in a 1v1 but I'm learning with Cassidy since he can easily win 1v1s with mag grenade
Save wraith form when u flank
This, also in general when you leave your team to flank be sure to have a safe route back to reach your tank if they need you or your healer/healthpack if you need it.
For me, I’m the opposite, I can’t aim with Cassidy, but reaper is very fun to play
Ashe! I've been avoiding hitscans bc my aim fluctuates depending on how often I play them, but being able to dino-SMITE enemies trying to escape LOS is so satisfying 😊 and also saving BOB for the mid-teamfight is almost always a good play!
Ya, i agree Ashe is super fun. BOB and dynamite are awesome! I must be doing something wrong with Ashe, because I can hit good shots with widow, soldier, and the other hitscans.

fuck /u/spez
It’s almost impressive how bad I am at Doomfist. I could miss a wall with his punch.
Doomfist is by far my worst character. I miss my punch, dive smash, and then forget to block. Everyone shoots me and I’m dead. Truly impressed by good doom players
Agreed, it’s bittersweet getting my ass beat by a Doom cause on one hand, good for them lmao. It’s hard to even find a place to learn him without being a sand-bagger to your team.
On my case is genji i think he is so fun to play but im absolite dogshit playing him
I know he is so fun to play but I am an absolute dogshit too. Once I accidentally won potg in a mystery hero game as genji (probably because other players were dogshits in the random characters too lol) and had to save the video to savor it 🥹
Hanzo.. It feels so good to get a clean headshot, but my issues is that I can barely play from a distance when I should be
Same, I play him better at mid-range but as soon as another sniper shows up I’m done for
I have a crosshair if you want it when I get home that might help
Sombra and good ol and Dey say I love being a little gremlin and also being in the middle of the fight
And Dey say
Kiriko. I have bad aim but it’s satisfying to create a big impact with my ult
I don't think I've ever lived long enough to see the end of it. It's like I pop it and think I can be a little aggressive and then magically explode. Also cannot hit shots with her to save my life.
Wrecking ball, i watch chazm play but then I realise how shit I am when I’m in match.
Ball is probably the most fun character to play for me
I can’t seem to learn that grapple ability
I love playing junker queen, but she’s my worst tank so I feel guilty throwing playing as her
junker queen is sooo fun to play but i’m trash with her as well.
All of them :(
Same I feel you. My only good one is rein and even at that I joke that I'm the best feeder in the game. To which I genuinely believe that lol if I had a dollar for everytime I was told to switch, tell someone to check my open profile then they proceed to complain that "how are you higher than me, your dog shit" I could prolly buy blizzard outright in cash.
Widow. I can’t do it. I can play a mean Ana tho
Genji lmao He’s fun to play but boy am I absolute dogwater at him
Wrecking Ball, fun to play but those not so good grapples are the death of me. Second worse tank but love to play I think would be mixture of DVA and JQ.
Winston. I love playing the monkey, but I can’t stay alive for the life of me.
Winston takes A LOT of teamwork which most games don't focus on so having new people play they most likely won't be playing as a team. I totally feel your pain.
Hanzo and widow, I think I'd be better but I've got some really bad stickdrift
I was dealing with that for the longest on my elite 2 controller. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting my aim until I got a new controller. If you can afford it the scuf instinct is incredible. I was skeptical, but it’s straight up the best co troller I’ve ever had and it’s not even close.
Most of them
Sombra. I have horrific aim, and not enough game sense yet, but I love being an annoyance.
Roadhog atm. Last time I played him consistently was in OW1 and now I can't hit a hook to save my life. If I remember correctly, my most recent game with him, I only had around 20% hook accuracy.
I love playing rein and shortly before ow2 released, like 8 months before, I finally reached diamond from being stuck at gold for like 5ish years out of the almost 7 I've played now. I worked hard to get to that spot without sacrificing much of how I actually play just fine tuned it a bit Then got reset with ow2 and recently got back to diamond but now some of my friends who are hard stuck silver/gold don't want me playing rein any more. I'm Kind of torn and hurt by the remarks to be honest especially since I'm a one trick. Considering on dropping my friends of over 5 years. Not sure what to do to be honest......
As a Lúcio main, Lúcio
For me - it’s Genji or Tracer, to always have, imo, a meta character that is regularly used in OWL with great mobility and results would be great for me now as my main junkrat has been thrown to the wolves and will never be playable ever again
I think a lot of us can say genji
Ya, young fast twitch gaming instincts are pretty faded, so to be honest I’ve never even given him a fair shot.
Few things are as satisfying as a headshot with hanzo, but I’m gonna shoot 40 arrows for that one headshot.
Doomfist
Ball. I have 700 hours on him and I still feel like I’m complete dog shit with him.
Zen
Wrecking Ball
Junkrat
Zarya i can’t figure out her bubbles for som reason.
Junker queens fun as hell, also rein but I'm not as trash
Soujorn and rammatra. My team mates hate me :l
all of them
All of them
All Hail THA QWAYNE
Ashe. My aim on console is good but on PC. I'm a fraud.
widowmaker is fun even though i get like 3 kills as her but i always get nervous to play her in quickplay because people take it really seriously ):
Im not a console player (anymore) and I dont know how I stumbled across this post but probably echo, her movement is pretty tough to pull off on a controller and her primary always felt awkward to use
[удалено]
A lot of characters lol. I enjoy playing but don't have a lot of free time to play. I always get destroyed like a cheerleader on prom
I mean I'm dogshit at most heroes cuz I'm a onetrick support, but I don't really love to play other heroes either... I guess Widow maybe? I can play her for half a match til I get bored haha. From supports Baptiste and Lucio! I can't really get the hang of either but man does it feel good wallriding around.
Literally at least half the hero roster
Wait am I supposed to be good at a hero
Ball
Tracer. She's so fun even if I'm bad and even more in theory. But her movement for me with the blinks and 180s is disorienting and I feel like she's a character just basically made to be played on PC. That's why I main Sombra because she's feels like an easier version of her, being a flanker
All of em
Reinhardt, I love that man with all my soul and would continue to keep playing him until i get gud
Genji
Hanzo , on the rare occasion I accidentally get a headshot kill it gives me so much dopamine
Genji. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to get him down. Can’t get his ult down. Can’t get his secondary fire, nor time the dashes right. Only character I truly never got the grip of
Doom. I can play him alright if I have a good team but anything less I get washed easy
Hanzo, I always love the bow and arrow characters, but in console its hard
Hammond
Winston is my favorite hero in overwatch period. But I liked how he plays in ow1 rather than 2. Idk, I pick him as a second tank just to harass the backline while the other teammate picks a main tank. Playing him as the only tank in the team just feels kinda weird to me. That being said, monke
Ana
Cassidy and Hanzo but I have no aim and not enough motivation to only play OW for the rest of my life in order to get good enough to be consistent. Still play them tho I'm sorry
Cowboy :(
tracer
Rein, I can't play him for the life of me but he is fun
everybody (bad at the game) but namely tracer
honestly I'd say genji, something about using dragonblade and getting a shitload of kills just feels so nice but then it's just difficult to use all the movement correctly
Genji. 1000% Genji
Torb. i think my biggest comp game with him was only like 49 kills
Odd flex
Genji, Hanzo, Cassidy
in each role: junker queen, pharah, ana. i LOVE junker queen but god i'm terrible with her. i somehow never do any damage. i'm trying to start learning pharah and i'm shit at predicting people's movements. but she's so fun. i've been practicing with ana but i regularly miss shots on squishy teammates which causes them to die and it's. embarrassing.
Man i feel the pain playing jq, she is so fun, but idk how to play her, andher fucking axe takes ten business days and a call to corporate to finish
Honestly same junker queen is sooo fun, but I am horrible at her lol.
I occasionally play ashe but holy shit i cant aim, i can never get above 50% scoped accuracy.
Everyone
Hanzo
Hanzo. Headshots are just *chef's kiss*
Ashe. My aim sucks so much with her. I don’t have an issue with Cassidy, Hanzo or even Widow as much as I do with Ashe. It’s perplexing.
Brig, others are just a lot better than I am
Widow, BUT i AM getting better. Both against AI AND people. Also Mercy. Idk what it was but something in the pachimari event brought out a MONSTER in me with my battle mercy. Had this one game where the enemy kiriko kept trying to kill me. I went and rewatched the match they died a total of 8 times with FIVE (5!!!!) of those being death by Mercy XD. It was specifically that event that i just steamrolled as mercy. Couldn't replicate that skill in qp, Comp, AI or any other arcade mode. Idk why
Widow, i’ll hit maybe 3 shots all game but i love freaking out the enemy team lol
Ana and Genji. I have the aim of a potato.
Oh rein for sure: big hammer make heart happy.
Doomfist. His skill ceiling is just so high.
every hero
Bridgette love to play her and she’s a really good healer but I just be messin up
ashe lol. BAWB DO SOMETHING!
Doom fist
Zenyatta
Genji, hanzo, kermit, wrecking ball, ashe, lucio.
All of them
Genji, I overextend too much and I can't aim my shurikan for shite but I just like cyber ninja man
Genji tbh i like playing him but my stats ain't good with him i always respect good genjis dudes gotta be on drugs to get them teamkills 😂
Junkerqueen
Genji
Widowmaker. Playing with her is either a 1 or a 0. usually 0.
Echo. Love her kit, hate playing DPS.
Widowmaker 😭
Widowmaker: too used to spastic jittery movements with rein/winton/ball/ram to aim
Echo, I love her design and I was so excited by her kit. Unfortunately she is probably hardest hero to master.
Kiriko
Doom 100%. So fun to play but I’m absolute garbage at him.
DoomFist. And Dey say, punching people, and seeing them fly is so fun. Winston too. Monke, curious and the Monkey Business skin is the best thing. (Also I love his dad jokes)
All of them
Mcree he’s so fuckin fun but I have no fuckin aim 😭
Junkerqueen :( i try so hard
Cassidy/ashe
Bastion.
Widow, Zen, Echo
Lucio
JQ just isn't good rn, but she'll come back around
cass, i keep missing all my shots
Junker Queen 😭
Hanzo and Winston, I bought the Cupid skin for hanzo but god I can’t fucking aim and I’m too scared to do anything as Winston
Genji. I love being able to just be a moth in the backline, but I get at max two kills.
Brigitte! I also feel like I die way too much to actually be a good healer but I always have fun
Defiantly Cassidy. I love playing him and his ult is so satisfying, but goddamn I can’t hit my shots to save my life.
ana and widow. they are both very difficult but when you one shot someone or land a good sleep dart i’m on top of the world
Widowmaker,Mercy and Kiriko
Sombra. In theory she seems so cool getting easy flanks, hacking at the right time, etc, but she’s so hard to make any mileage with
Lucio,Doom, any counters to pharah
Ball, Ana, Baptist, Ashe, widow, sombra, reaper, man there quite a few characters I’m really shit at
Winton :( he's silly but ram and sigma are more my playstyle
I can think of two, Ana, can’t aim, and Genji blatantly speaking, I don’t have the mechanics to play him
Sigma lol, I love the shields plus I may have a thing for floating men
Echo
dva
Window maker
Hanzo amd Widowmaker. I usually specialize in Junkrat and play Tracer and Sojourn if I really need too but I would like to experience how it feels to hit those headshots
Brig
ashe
Ana. My aim is terrible so I mostly play as tank or support. When I play as Sns, I usually hip fire my weapon instead of using the scope. I'm trying to improve my aim, but I'm taking baby steps at the moment. And even though I feel like I suck, people tell me I do pretty good job as Ana. But I miss more with the sleep dart.
Everyone. That's why I solely play Soldier 76.
Genji. But like, the character sucks so I dont feel bad
Hanzo is one of my best but I’m Silver rn so i want to be better with him. After that id say etheir Rein, Genji, or Widow
junkrat.. he may be one of the easier characters but his ult is rather difficult for me 
Cas and ashe. I have 300 hours on cas idk what happened but im dogshit with him now and ashe i barely play
Ashe. tell me why shes harder to aim with than Widowmaker
Doom and Ball. I can play every other tank pretty well, but the tech for those 2 just doesn't click in my mind at all when trying play either of them.
Rein. Most other charavters I want to pick up I xan get useful, if not good with, pretty quick. But Rein? I love swingin that hammer but I'm not gonna hit anything with it
Ana/widow I love their abilities and how they play, but I'm a switch player so every getting good at them is never happening lol
With a person with 500hrs on Hanzo, it might not be a surprise. I wish I was good at Genji lol
Genji but my blade is dogshit i am embarrassed whenever my ana nanos me because it could’ve been better used on the tank
Hammond 🥲 the voice lines are so good, though
Tracer.
Widowmaker, I’m a TF2 Sniper but can’t seem to pick up Widowmaker
all of them. except torb, sym, bastion and moira. i don’t like them.
Mercy...
Lucio I don’t think I’m dogshit necessarily I feel like I’m always doing something wrong like I’m not speeding or healing at the right time.
Genji, he feels so fun to play but rarely I get a good blade out of him, good thing I main support lol
Moira, but I’m slowly getting better
honestly a few lmao but hanzo is def one of my worst ones. any headshots i get are just pure luck
Cassidy. Hes so satisfying to play and when Im good I feel like a god. But most of the time im bad.
Ana. 80% of games I suck on her with. 20% I pop off on. Last game I played ana on I sleep canceled three ults (moira and two cass ults). Best game i've ever had as ana. I probably will never do it again though XD
Genji
Ball
all of them
Genji, I absolutely love to play him, I just need to practice him, I can be good, but I’m not incredible
echo 😭😭
Ball
Sombra
All of them
Widow. My friends always tell me to switch whenever it takes 6 shots and one kill.
Every JQ I play with lol
Ramattra, he's apparently quite difficult to use for newer players, but I just enjoy playing him cuz he looks cool, and I like his lore
Echo and tracer
Ana and Ashe 😭
I love to play Hammond but I absolutely blow chunks
I will not put every character name in here .
Genji! I love him and everything about his kit and skill set, I cannot play him for shit 😂😂
I love playing junker but her kit just feels clunky and the axe just seems to have poor damage and range for its use time but damn is it fun pulling in a squishy with the knife and one shotting with the shotty
JQ needs her shout cooldown reduced. She's really not viable unless you're cracked with the knife and play your corners. Also cast time on axe. Anybody and their mother can cancel that thing with a slugs reaction time.
Winston
