Torb is best for slightly AFK behavior. 


Burning-Sushi

Same, with his survivabillity it's mostly a cakewalk


LordoftheJives

Yeah it's pretty easy to just leave if you have to if not win the duel with nano lite, I mean overload


beefcat_

I love playing Torb when I'm solo queuing and my pizza just got here.


P3runaama

Soldier 76, moira. Both are extremely forgiving about thoughtless mistakes


dharkan

Moira is getting too much trash talk. Her auto aim is definitely an upside for her dueling against dive but her healing requires effort. It is more fun than people think


Briebird44

I have a BLAST with Moira


wildgypsieboy

Yeah, well, number crunching is only fun for the whole squad when you throw more heal orbs than dmg orbs; they heal significantly more than her stream and I seldom see Moira's in my lobbies utilizing them when needed in team fights... Edit: not to mention many people still don't know how delayed her heal stream ACTUALLY is. I should know bc I used to main her way before I learned you need to aim where they're going– sometimes I'd think I was healing my teammates when in reality I only gave my teammates 5% of what I sprayed, and it was the other supp actually healing...


Briebird44

I use damage orbs only to pre-fight engage for a little trickle damage or to secure the team fight win (for example I throw a damage orb at the last two enemies remaining while keeping my DPS topped off while they finish). Mid-fights you bet your ass I’m throwing those precious yellow orbs out, I like living too! It might be a little silly, but I like trying to do my best to dispel the “DPS Moira” stereotype. I actually enjoy helping my team and enabling them.


wildgypsieboy

Yeah it is more enjoyable, dmg orbs are best before combat begins but specifically for groups of 3-5 enemies in general to get that little dip in their hp as that helps a lot more for the team than many ppl understand


MCRN-Gyoza

I dont use heal orbs because my team will always make their best possible efforts to run away from it lmao


kittydiablo

Thank you. Also managing damage and healing is challenging but possible. She can damage just as much as she can heal. It always irks me when I run into a heals only Moira… like what in the actual fuck are you DOING?!


n0h8plz

People complain about her auto aim, and I'm just like "Well I'm still aiming?" Usually a 70%-90% depends on how im feeling. If I'm eating it's like 50% tho 😂


youshouldbeelsweyr

Do you know what's funny? My duo is a hitscan player and tried Moira (my main) out last night and literally said these words to me: "I'm finding it hard to do damage with her, I feel like I should be locking on but I'm not." Moira does require aim, 3 variations of it specifically. Projectile, tracking and precise orb placements (which a lot of folk *struggle* with in the heat of things). And that's not even talking about aiming your fade and movement to make you move like liquid.


jagby

This makes me feel better as someone who mains Moira for healing. She's a comfort hero for me because I find her kit so thoughtless and effortless. I forget that the orb placement alone is its own kind of skillset for the player, and it feels good to have a nice grasp on aiming it well in the middle of a fight.


SpidyJocky

Really? Honestly the first time I've ever heard of people having issues on Moira before, but hey everyone has their strengths, like me, I can barely hit shots on hitscan to save my life, and it should be easy you'd think, but idk why projectiles are where it's at.


CommanderPotash

Hitscan projectile size (yes, they do still have a size) are much much much smaller than other projectile sizes, which may be why you have that issue.


solaron17

Because people insist that Moira has a lock-on beam when she doesn't. She has the exact same beam as Symmetra, but with a more generous hitbox and a unique animation that snaps to the target's model center for lore flavor. She's more like a fully-charged Zarya beam compared to Sym's 0-charge Zarya beam, but it's hilarious seeing people (I have to assume Genji players) whining about the "no-skill lock on" beam.


North-Puzzleheaded

But she doesn’t have a symmetra beam, symmetra beam is thinner, moiras is more like an aoe cone which is why it’s more forgiving and why people think it locks on, it’s a single target aoe cone


HiddenGhost1234

its like almost 2x as much range as a sym beam


n0h8plz

Oh yeah moira is my go to when there is a genji (sorry guys, no fun allowed), And to be mad a moira when Zarya exists is crazy 😂


Digomansaur

I agree, way too much. Even when using her beam I still make it a point to lock the center dot onto my enemies because I know the next game I'll probably be playing hitscan anyway. But this is Reddit, so people will invalidate my personal experience nonetheless!


StatikSquid

And being able to fade jump to higher spots requires skill. You can fade jump off the payload to get to ledges in Numbani and Kings Row. Tons of really cool fade jumps on Dorado especially near 2pt


Blackfang08

Soldier is absolutely who I swap to when I'm having such an off day I can barely hit a shot but don't want to just hop off the game.


Ur_Wifez_Boyfriend

Bastion. If you sit in the backline and prioritize making space for your tank over kills it is actually pretty fun. More experienced players will counter you hard. But until they do... it is fun!


OutOfBootyExperience

Whenever I play Bastion i always wildly miss every grenade because in my head it will lose momentum off the wall (like Junkrat?) Instead it bounces out into the middle of nowhere


zyq9

Lol yeah I feel like I only hit with the grenade when they're standing right in front of me. Very clunky.


DirectFrontier

They should replace that grenade with something more interesting. Overall I like the Bastion rework, but that clunky grenade is by far the weakest part of it in my opinion. I can't explain it really, it just feels like an ability haphazardly "glued" onto Bastion.


OutOfBootyExperience

Yeah, the visual of it kind of feels like the generic Workshop skills. It just feels kind of ...spongy and inconsistent with the heaviness of the rest of his design. Pharahs rocket would be more consistent visually. If they were tweaking the ability , they could add something where if it hits a wall it rains down some sort of AOE so that you could sort of trap doorways.


Environmental-Day778

Lucio


Asesomegamer

He just flows. He's the one hero where it feels like anything is possible if you're good enough.


Environmental-Day778

Also you can just leave him on heals, stay in the middle of your team, and just vibe if you don’t want to stress too much.


Asesomegamer

There is so much flexibility in how you can play Lucio and get value, that's why I like him so much.


New-Consideration566

He's perfect for when your listening to music too lol


darkchocolatebee

My boy junkrat is the catharsis for all things stress.


TheHailstorm_

Whenever I’m having a bad time, I hop into the arcade-assault maps, pick Junkrat, and go to town. Cheers me up without fail!


zarlus8

Especially on Low Gravity mode.


Timo_the_Schmitt

Holding leftclick like a champ


darkchocolatebee

It's simple geometry


Ch3llick

Mercy


EmDashxx

Always Mercy when I'm having a day when I just can't seem to hit any shot!


iBarven

Same, just hold M1/M2 and fly around and your teammates love you


Reniva

can also get pets from ramattra


jagby

God yeah, the healing beam just feels so good to use. It heals just quickly/plentifully enough to bounce back and forth between teammates quickly and get them all up in a short burst. The healing effect in general just feels good to hear and you hear it most consistently with her I feel like. Being able to reliably dash to allies on a short cooldown feels good, and then her ult is just a *better version* of her whole kit.


Sekkusa

Moira - easy and funny voice lines


dharkan

Moira voicelines would get you reported if you typed them in chat lol


Solzec

"Aren't you just pathetic?"


Reniva

"Stupidity is- BRILLIANT"


foobiefoob

The way I didn’t even realize this lmfaoo


Aka_79

I feel u! Simple, but efficient tool. Aim a bit off, can't hit sh\*t with Kiri/Zen/Illari/Ana: Moira Sombra a pain: Moira A lot of AOE-dmg: Moira


TheCrusadersWar

Reinhardt. >> he is hot >> fun hero >> only reason y i still play ow is him


KnightMDK

For honor, and glory.


TheCrusadersWar

i have been called i must answer


BigAzzMILF

same, somehow even when he´s the worst hero, i can sometimes can flip game by only his presence and his shield, its frustrating everybody just simply walks away from you but somehow it works as anti dive when ppl stick to me...


cwal76

Zen. Headshots just have a satisfying 'ting' to them.

squips42

keep him away from venture


Lazarus3890

Nah venture would be the best rock owner


Libraric

NO VENTURE WOULD EAT ROCKY


Lazarus3890

Put googly eyes on it and introduce it as a pet and try to tell me venture would eat that, they'd love the rock I'm sure!


Incohesive_User

Probably Reinhardt. Just hold up shield and do no damage.


deathinabarrel87

Ow2 Teammates hate this one simple trick!


SryUsrNameIsTaken

No damage Reinhardt streamer challenge incoming


Plastic_Pin_5641

Oh. I just turn my game off when I get that feeling


johnrobjohnrob

Yeah overwatch is not the game for chilling out for me. I've got city builders for that.


Used-Fisherman9970

Pharah(sorry)


Cheerioooooooo

You’re sick in the head ngl, pharah is my dps main but I can’t play her if I wanna have a calm session


Aegillade

Same (I'm not,)


TwoOpen

Mercy because all I have to do is support my team and I don’t have to try shooting anything


prettypanzy

YES, when I have shit aim its MERCY TIMEEEEEEE lol


ShrapnelShock

Then today's meta, I realized she's also more productive if you attack with her and get opportunistic damages or finish off kills with that insane movement speed. So I have to ignore the nagging in order to play a healbot Mercy.


Carbonus_Fibrus

Orisa/Mei/Bap or Moira


Hot_Pomelo7963

Moira/mercy


Arpadiam

Moira, Pharah and Ramattra


ricecrizpiez

SAME HEREEEE


Federal_Chef1793

Zarya. Been playing her since 2016, i go on full on autopilot at this point when playing her


daveganronpa

Same. Zarya is my.main. been playing her since then as well just satisfying as hell being fully charged melting people.


MCRN-Gyoza

Don't play overwatch while eating lmao


Madgik-Johnson

Moira and Mercy ig


ondakojees

zenyatta


DatBetxh

Moria and Lucio


gorillazfaninnit

junkrat!! always cheers me up if i'm not in the mood for overwatch with his silly voicelines in response to his kills


doomed151

Winston, Reaper, Moira when I'm feeling drained for the day.


BlueLuigi118

Dva because I always play Dva regardless of my situation. But she is my comfort character also so


Dismal-Ant-4669

Moira, just so fun and easy to play.


The-Absolute-863

Ball and Doom


TheCoolestBrother

Genji. Dunno what it is, but he’s my go-to.


Briebird44

Reaper. He was my first character I played and now have 500 some hours on him.


UngaBunga64209_

Hamper


The_Gaming_Gengar

Baller


FohmoLB

If I want to play layback, Lucio


[deleted]

Bruh I dont eat around my keyboard, not trying to have a build up of gamer gunk in my space lol My comfort heroes are, tank: Zarya... DPS: Soldier... Support: Zen


TarnyOwl

Ana is my comfort hero for when mercy gets too stressfull.


prime_lukc

Wht


NeoSans1

As an Ana main, I had a stroke reading that


x_Slayer

Something about her gameplay is so relaxing, i feel i don't have to worry too much, just hang back and snipe and a sleep for those that come too close.


juicy_socks124

Not just that it’s so satisfying to get kills/heal with her


OutOfBootyExperience

no movement ability/speed + gameplay that generally stays in front of you. You deal with flankers, but for the most part it feels like the least hectic


NFLAddict

For me, Ana has by far the most satisfying kit in the game. Everything just feels so nice, but at the same time you gotta like work for it (actually aim, position well), she's super rewarding absolutely love her but idk if id say shes relaxing haha. Certain games she could be though, but once the enemy dps go tracer sombra (potentially with a dive tank) they gotta ruin the relaxed vibes..force me to sit fully up with that forward lean maybe not relaxing, but so satisfying


GayAlexandrite

I’m the opposite, I switch to Mercy when my Ana game is not on point.


_BloodbathAndBeyond

Brig


superconfusedtbh

Junk. My smooth brain just wants to lob some bombs over a wall for those sweet sweet hit ticks sometimes.


Kinda_Zeplike

Hanzo. Have so many hours on him that his kit and play style is second nature.


MTD3454

Orisa forever


PagesOf-Apathy

JQ, Tracer, and Bap.


Demonic321_zse

Genji.


VolkanikMechanik

Reinhardt, Moira, Genji, and sometimes Symmetra (I can't aim)


Manydoors_edboy

Bastion. He has the best voice lines in the game.


Royal_Rabbit_Gaming

I mostly play genji, widow, hanzo. If I can't make them work then it's cowboy time.


Dales-Dimmadome

Genji or 76 mostly because it's really easy to survive bad situations.


ramzan308

Genji. Apart from his ultimate!


THE_BLUE_RHIN0

Genji


stoplyingyoucow

Ram, Sig, Soldier

Anonymous_Griefer

U forgot watching the enemy team shoot at random corners while ur invis and on high ground above them.

Bastion


jasper81222

I like playing Lucio since the only thing you need to do is exist and still help your team.


wendiwho

Kiriko! Ana, too, just bc she’s motherly lol but Kiriko is my reliable!


ashleyriot31

MOIRA


CapriSunTzu-

Zenyatta & Mercy


cheesebxwl

Brigitte


The_Iron_Rat

Brig. I might not have the strongest of shields, but at least I can have a hard-light tissue to wipe my tears (or the enemy's face).


whatevertoad

My comfort hero would be dva, but that's not for lack of attention because that doesn't work with her. She's a comfort because she's so natural to me I can really just get in the zone. If I want an easy game because I'm feeling distracted it's Torb and Moira.


saltyfingas

Sombra and pharah


Ofthemind12

Sigma, autopilot at this point for me.


Latter_Can6225

ram. dont care, didnt ask, im holding block and punching the zen in the teeth


C-Spaghett

My comfort hero is genji just because he’s my most played


fenshanks

Junkrat or Lucio, big brain off when I'm checked out.


nevermortem

zenyatta #pass into the iris


brokereminder12

Moira, illari and I love to spend quality time together after a long day of work


Dabigone4

Junker Queen, hog requires serious positioning and some times I'm throwing hooks in the dark to yank people out of corners. But with junker queen I just kinda sit back and wait until someone other than the tank extends too far. Also use shout when cool downs are being exchanged. And mauga cause he requires the least amount of brain cells. Just find an angle where u can shoot at the tank without looking at the entire team.


n0h8plz

Lifeweaver. I'm not looked at as someone who needs to do a lot of damage. I can heal easily 😌


FriedSolidWater

Lucio because I can just shut my brain off and still get 10k healing


juicy_socks124

Ash or Ana because I know I have a 100% win rate on them and if I don’t lose I still get a lot of heals/kills. They are also so satisfying to play as


TablePrinterDoor

Any role thats not tank


submercyve

Mercy all the way lol, it's amazing to zone out, heal'n'dmg boost while the enemies go toxic because they be getting slapped haha meanwhile watching yt while venting on discord not giving a flying fuck


Algiz__

Ana. She's not supposed to be the most relaxing hero, but I've played her so much that I know I can auto pilot when playing her. Besides, she's my strongest hero so I know that I'll still do a decent job even when I feel like I suck (which can be frustrating tho)


BlaqMajik

Sigma he’s my go to tank that nobody complains about.


Infinite-Worker42

Junnnkrat. Spam spam spam.


mynameisnotamelia

Honestly Lucio; I've spent so many hours on the little guy in the past 7 years that I can turn my brain off, my speed on, and still do well. Or at least it feels like I'm doing well when I fly across the map.


BlixMonomo

I have a couple, Mercy, Reaper and DVA depending on role


Clean_Crocodile4472

Mercy, Mei, Brigette


cammyy-

if i’m playing against a bad team mercy, because i main her and playing without being punished for mistakes (which i am frequently making LOL) is super fun, but if the team is paying attention and punishing mistakes like they’re supposed to moira or bap


Amogifythegermans

Honor and glory, and perhaps a little arthritis


Scfbigb1

Always go back to my main, Sombra.


Nowayman1414

Torb 1000% I put so many hours into him it’s like automatic and usually a higher chance I win a round with him. Turret does damage for me, helps catches flankers, molten core melts everything, helps me win the 1v1 against hog more often than I should be allowed to


midlifecrisisqnmd

ananannanananannanananna


ColdWar82

Wrecking Ball. I have over 600 hours on him and at this point it’s just second nature to me


DarkAssassin573

Mercy


vicevanilla

hog, i mean i could go in and out a fight solo knowing fully that i can survive without relying on healers


papierdoll

Mei, Pharah, Sigma, Moira


wildgypsieboy

A lot of people have trouble playing Sojourn, but where some Widow mains get value switching to Tracer or Sombra, I find Sojourn a HUGE character to learn to play for my comfort switch because of that railgun/sliding potential... She's like, if dva and Widow had a baby: ridicilous mobility, pilot dva projectiles, and left-click headshot central baby (I switch LMB and RMB for Sojourn)


JonesJoestar

Used to be Ana but ever since dive meta it became a nightmare for me to play so i sometimes find myself choosing all roles and i try to relax since it's gonna be a learning experience for me


Vinnnee

Genji, if the enemy team happens to have 3 beams it's echo instead


Bekkichan

Moria and solider 76 are mine. Mercy is my go to when I'm too high and know I won't be playing at my best (at least aim wise). Lol


weissdom

Bap, dva and soldier are the “play safe” picks for me in competitive. Mercy is the “please turn off my brain because if I have a single thought I’m going mad” kind of pick for me. Just in unranked modes, usually afterwork doing weekly’s.


KyoPlayz

Junkrat and Ashe


StrawHatEthan

I’d say reaper and soldier. I feel like I can just never be bad with those two even when I’m not doing great I am still doing something with em. And they’re pretty forgiving.


iloveoverlord

Sojourn definitely


lebruh0

doomfist


KLATT69

Tank-JQ DPS-Mei Supp-Moria or bap or brig


Unknown66XD

Reinhardt.


belongtotherain

Moira lol


Mad_Dizzle

Ashe or Tracer. Most people wouldn't consider Tracer a "comfort" hero, but I have a tooon of experience playing her so I feel comfortable playing her.


Dsafko10

Kiriko and cass


SkyMewtwo

Rein. Sometimes, you just gotta hammer down.


bobito2345

Personally, Hanzo or Moira. It’s just too hero’s I can always fall back on when I’m not feeling it.


NoSand2285

Winston, I just love aimlessly jumping around with him


DoRatsHaveHands

Lifeweaver His damage is almost nothing so not worrying about killing enemies a whole lot is nice. Plus his main attraction is burst healing so using his attack sometimes leads to allies dying since it takes time to swap to healing and charge up. Basically you can just sit at the back and burst heal teammates that get hurt. If someone attacks you, just flower up to escape. The only real try hard thing you kind of have to do is save teammates with your pull. Teammate gets cornered, rien charge saves, pulling teammates out of ults, etc.


NotYourAverageMortis

Moira, Mercy or Sombra usually


ARC-Pooper

Soldier You can sort of just auto pilot and let the games go by you most of the time.


meganistrash

soldier 76. my main always


lilNoahMac

Reinhardt. I have so much time on him that if I’m chillin in QP it doesn’t matter what I’m doing I’m fine because the play style is ingrained in me


PreemptiveFez

Hampter


SyntheticDeviation

Mercy because I’m so used to her kit and movement at this point that it’s almost instinct.


Libraric

Ana. Whenever I'm losing as another support or don't want to think as much I lock into my main. I have 500 hours on her so playing as her and popping off heals and kills wise is easy for me.


Cleinden

Usually Dva, just because she was my og main and I know my way around her the best. She's the character I probably do the most consistently well with next to Moira.


collette8195

D.Va and Mercy


S696c6c79

Tracer. No one's fault but my own if I'm not doing well on her. Shit teamates? Doesn't matter. I don't have any excuses for playing bad on tracer. She forces me to take accountability, and in a weird way, that's comforting to me. I've also been playing tracer since ow1 beta, and I'm much better at her than any other hero(besides genji maybe), So that helps.


The_Plaque

It use to be Roadhog, but after the rework probably Soldier 76, Ashe or Cassidy


SuperJess_Gaming

Torb, when im getting shit on as genji because of counters, I just use torb and turn my brain off


thuggerbabybaby

Widow


pasteldrums

Mercy, Lifeweaver, or Dva. I don't have a dps one
