Starting to get back into OW2. Just curious what people’s answers and takes are. I’d guess most players have a pretty narrow pool, which is usually for the best.

I’m a D3 dps player. I’ve played off and on since launch and can play most of the DPS roster pretty competently for mid-diamond though, outside of Widow. Echo is definitely my primary pick most matches, it probably helps that I’m familiar with the game enough on other heroes to get value out of duplicate consistently.

So it’s like, I’ll usually swap between 4-5 comfort picks that I’ll pick blindly going into rounds and the rest I can pick up if they’re called for in certain situations. Genji, Cree, Tracer, Ashe, and Sojourn are probably the most situational picks I’ll play.

Only DPS heroes I really avoid touching are Widow, Bastion, Sombra, and Symmetra. The latter 3 are easy to play but not fun to me. Hanzo is the only other pick I avoid due to it requiring specialization like Widow, but I’ll play it into certain comps or matches if I feel I can still get value on him since he’s much more forgiving.

    Support main here, I can play any support in the current pool at the moment but tend to main Ana a lot. However sometimes I enjoy Sojourn, Widow, Ashe or even Pharah. Not a fan of tank but capable of Dva, Ram, JQ or Orisa too so overall I consider myself very versatile player when needed.

    I’m working on my shapeshifter title (454 / 500) so I’m somewhat decent on any hero of the roster. But my main picks for any role are JQ as tank, Soldier as DPS and Ana for support. My role changes from season to season. This season I mostly played DPS.

    Support.

    I’m equally addept with 6 heroes in this role, but I only play Lucio Brig and Zen for the most part.

    Very rarely switch off to Mercy in ranked if we have a hitscan that is landing their shots but the rest of the team is out to lunch.
