I think my favorite is Sigma because his shield, absorption, and stun are all helpful in keeping himself from taking damage so I can focus on healing the rest of the team, and they can also be used to help us secure kills like placing his shield in front of supports to cut off heals, blocking a Widowmaker, using his stun to negate ults, etc. Plus I like that Sigma players usually seem keen to slowly but steadily push forward and stay with the group rather than run ahead out of range chasing kills.

Least favorite would probably be Doomfist. A good Doom is awesome and self reliant but I still find them often off by themselves, out of range of heals, while the enemy team is attacking the dps and supports and my attention is split so I usually ignore Doom and assume he’ll come back for heals but if he dies or we die it doesn’t much matter.

    Ohhh I love a good Junker Queen or Hamster.

    I am not a big fan of Doom (most of the time). A good Doom fist is awesome but I’ve seen them very rarely. So most of the time if someone picks Doom they just jump in … And die And start flaming the healers which get fucked cause noone cares to protect them.

    I don’t play support so I’ll answer from the tank pov

    Least favourite support: Moira(Self explanatory)

    Favourite support: Ana(They usually nano the tank), Mercy(More likely to rez the tank) and Kiriko(Suzu helps against anti and makes not want to uninstall everytime I play against an Ana)

      actually, I’m not sure I if like Ana as a tank that much (at least in lower rank). Simply because many low rank Ana have less than desired aim and bad positioning.

      And Moira really is a coin toss sometimes. Once in a while you get god tier Moira with huge damage and huge heal.

    As a Kiriko player, least favourite is Doom bc me and my team often have trouble whether or not to go in with him (maybe it’s because I don’t have a high rank?) and then get flamed by the doom/gets rolled over. I didn’t have much trouble with ball cuz he is mostly self sufficient and just comes over when he needs healing. I don’t really have much preferences beside that but I do enjoy to play dive with a good winston or Dva and feel useful😂

    I think a lot of these are based on which tank has the most mobility, and that’s who people dislike the most. But if your tank is skilled, you wouldn’t need to chase them down for heals. I’ve played with great Dooms and Hammy’s that understand they gotta fall back a little for heals and they never spam healing, love those tanks because I feel like I don’t have to babysit them. They can get themselves out of a sticky situation and fall back for heals. So I don’t really have a least favorite, because any unskilled tank is gonna be a headache.

    Favourite: having 2 tanks so healers are actually protected and not being picked off every 5 seconds.

    Oh wait.

    I hate supporting Doom. Nothing wrong with him. It’s MY skill issue that I just can’t be an effective support, and his erratic movements kinda distract me and make me stagger, but it’s on me. Monke is a close second but somehow easier to make work.

    I love Reinhardt as an Ana player, I can enable him to be aggreessive and he’s a big and easy target to hit! Least would be Ball from my experience because he’s so far away that I can never heal and he ends up just using health packs

    Great tanks are rein or sigma for me when playing support. The ones that gave me the most bad experiences are doom and ball, i never saw a good doom in my team who isn’t suicidal and i never saw a ball that doesn’t need heals every second. I was told the ball doesn’t rely on heals but that’s all the balls that i got, they relied HARD on heals

    I don’t have a favorite tank to sup as a main tank myself. But my least favorite is definitely Doomfist. Although Mauga might replace him.

    Least favourite: Doomfist. Good dooms are one thing, but too many just feed their brains out and do so well away from any chance to get into LOS. I want to help you, but it’s nearly impossible to set the conditions for that.

    Ball players seem much more frequently to have that awareness to return for a couple of seconds for some healing. I mean, a good ball should rely on health packs first, but if you do take the time to return (and they do) I will happily heal you.

    Most favourite: none specifically. Brawl tanks are fun to run with and I especially like to empower my Rein to win the mirror duel, poke tanks let you do other things more frequently and dive tanks make you feel good about jumping with them in terms of teamwork and it’s a lot of fun.

    Just, no Doomfist, m’kay?

    Least fav: Orisa, too many ppl overestimate her fortify and just feed into 5 ppl expecting to kill them all and not die like the comment supposedly say. I also have a bit of a hate borner for Roadhog players just because

    Fav: me because I’m generally the tank of the game :D (I’m fucking bronze 5 IMAO)

    I’ll answer from both pov’s dps and tank (I’m a flex player)

    Worst tank: Ball: You motherf*cker protect me while I’m healing the team you’re not protecting, and pressuring the dps/supports YOU AREN’T DIVING

    Best tank: I honestly love having a Dva: they actually try to protect me while still attempting to dive. It works too because I don’t have to babysit them all game.

    Worst support: Moira: y’all need to realize that she isn’t that great, decent damage, good healing, but where is the value? Where is the additional push to make her a good fit? Bap has imo, mercy has dmg boost, ect… moira just can’t keep up in the value. But for those who play her right. Y’all are the best

    Best support: Ana, without a doubt. She is arguably the best support in the game (I would say at least) bio nade is a bitch, double healing on allies, 0 healing on enemies, a sleep dart that either secures a free kill, or helps me make space, Nano is a whole… just… 😩. God I love Nano as a ability, 50% damage intake, 50% damage dealt, a full heal on deployment. Not even to mention her healing, good god that hps is high, and she has reliable dps as well. A tip to all low rank ana players, don’t only Nano tank, a dps ult+Nano is devastating (most of the time) but yeah. Ana is very good

    Least favorite: Ball, Doom and JQ They move all over the damn place and JQ hit box is tiny.

    Favorite: Rein, Sigma, Ram. Shields help blocking damage and being able to mitigate damage with flux or nemesis forms block help with keeping them up.

    Spoken as an Ana main.
