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!
Hey this isn’t yeatleposts
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
Zenyatta is Bad most matches no reason for a new player to main him
@@requix37 depends on if you're trying to learn fundamentals or just get a high rank
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.
it depends a lot, nowadays it's pretty shitty to play with him, I think tanks in general is much better for a beginner to learn, like Ramattra.
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
screw that, I'm going ball
Fk it we ball.
I got alot of good plays as him
Ball is truly the best tank

Since S2
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
This, you’re allowed to suck at the game as long as you’re having fun. It really is just a game
@@kyleacor8639Brooo preach my guy! People get so mad if someone on their team is bad even in qp... Like so what?
I feel like this stopped being a “for new players to main” tier list to a regular tier list about halfway through…
Yeah it absolutely did lmao
It stopped being for new players once he put the king of bronze bastion in f😂
It wasn’t a tierlist for new players in the sense of “these are easy heroes play them when you’re new”
This (as he said like 5 times) tierlist is based off of which heroes will be good for new players to main and learn over the course of their time in overwatch, by teaching good mechanics/having high skill ceiling etc.
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
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
I've been tearing it up with maui, what can I say except your welcome.
Any new player seeing this comment: don’t let a tierlist make decisions for you. Until you are so good to the point where meta is important, you can play whoever you want. I tell all new players I teach the game to is instead of putting pointless hours into hard characters, play the easy character with the goal of getting good enough at the easy characters and learning the game so that you can be decent or better with the hard heroes. I have a friend who climbed basically from silver to diamond with sojourn by starting on soldier and learning good game sense and mechanics first without having to put effort into a kit
My recommendation is to main the hardest hero from the start. I started playing ball as soon as I started overwatch 2. Always got flamed in gold but as soon as I reached 50 hours I climbed so quick. No all those shitters in gold mean nothing and I’m a top 500 ballerton
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.
genji player since 2016. Never would i ever suggest people learn him. He looks cool and has dopamine spikes, but most of all:
PAIN...
Echo (dps main) has been so much harder to play since Juno's release. But I am having SO much fun playing as Juno. The trade off is worth it.
"There are no reaper streamers"
Choice: hello how you doing
Also no way he said reaper is boring you must be on something
Reaper is A tier
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.
I think as a new player you want to pick a hero that has a low skill floor with a lot of versatility and is FUN for you. That way you can just enjoy the game and once you have a good understanding of macro, then you can branch out to other more difficult heroes
one thing im thinking of not really mentioned in this vid are team comps. lets say Bap and Ana for example id rather one trick ana for the rest of my life than bap cause I fit sooooo much better in dive while bap is rough in it. Itd be so many games where ud feel left out or behind in comparison to Ana who fits pretty much every style of play.
Junk is a good one to main bro you get that positioning sense and skillshot with shift
Playability and skill curve should be taken into consideration
When blizzard makes the coolest character in video games (genji) a throw pick😭
We are genji mains
We are legion
We are in need of emotional and physical healing
Hey! There is too a Reaper main streamer! ChoiceOW loves Reaperguy
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😂
You just answered so many questions. Better info than most
new players should pick moira for support.
junkrat, reaper, soldier for dps
ramattra, orisa for tank
Everything else on your list will send them down to bronze.
I have been hardstuck silver since game release. The new or ppl who never learn they play ana and mccree with others and they play a hero with to high skill level and they make the rest of us hardstuck in silver!
Spongebob jellyfish feilds music goes hard
great vid gamer, will share with friendos that are new to the game
i played every season and didn't see a single ramattra meta outside of his release season with infinite ultimate. i checked t500 leaderboards every season to see if i remember wrong but no, ramattra in fact the least played hero and never had a meta. even less than mauga. na streamers overrate this type of heroes so much. dogshite hero. rein is solid though. you can just roll with him since s10. ram and zarya would be my least recommended tanks. i'd recommend dive tanks, high burst damage quick kill potential tanks like jq, hog or snorefest passive orisa/sig. ram is not friendly to neither newbies nor advanced players in solo que ladder. i can see him being good in coordinated play if you have friends though. not for ladder. you can get shutdown very easily and you don't have carry burst damage or mobility. it's a limited hero that relies on other 9 heroes way too much.
If you aim to be a top500 tank player, Winston, Sigma, Doomfist, Dva are the heroes you need to learn. These have the highest t500 presence and relevance in all OW2 seasons combined. Ram is the bottom 1. I'd also recommend JQ for how fun and strong she is but her place can be volatile in meta. But still she has the tools to overcome it. You can scale her up. Ram is dud.
Only disagree with Sigma and Lucio on this list. I'd make them both A Tier they're pretty much always good. Otherwise very solid list.
Not you did us sym mains like that lol
Hebis right in a way cuz the balance team despises symm. The moment shes outta bottom 3 dps she gets turbonerfed
He might not be the best at high ranks but Bastion is fun af
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
As a Rammatra Bastion Zenyatta main I don't know how i feel about this XD
All the robots lol
I remember when content creators made timestamps. Society truly is lost...
Hell nah, im ballin
Is there a video that can give me more info on why you dislike Symmetra?
Im surprised to see kiri where she is
Me maining junkrat and doom when i first started
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.
Who let this man cook
all of the people who say mercy's movement doesn't take skill end up sucking at her.
Like the persona 3 music
If your new to the game play whoever you get most enjoyment out of. Just not widow
In my opinion the best is reinhardt and soldier: 76
I used to main genji/doom (I still do)
Great, my two loved Heroes are in C ❤🎉
symm is SUPREME tier
Yo I’m new and play soljourn let’s go
nah, new player shouldnt main some of the toughest characters to learn in the whole game.
15:02 choiceisme cries
I’m a winton one trick 👍
How do you not know havoc aka badtothebone?
I play overwatch since 2016 why am I even watching this
Sigma is the best on every map
Compelling list, however, hampter
just go Moira & DPS 😎
Pulling out the bastion last minute on payload is probably the only time I use him 😂 but he is OP for that purpose and wone me a lot of games recently from that. I'm masters 5 it still works.
Super solid tier list 🙌🙌🙌
I mean... Making a tier list for "new players" but ignoring the complexity or skill needed for the characters... Seems off.
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.
@@danieljuntunen2320yap
Yeah but some of these heroes have very high skill floor, you’ll have to put 100h in the same hero before getting any fun. Also some here are boring to play, I don’t get how torb and venture are above Reaper and Junk, both are way more fun to play with a bit of skill (but not as hard as tracer )
@@Bboydu78000 I play a lot of Torb and I find him pretty fun
Sombra is the best
Illari ult is terrible
i feel like learning tank first as a new player enables you to learn how to play quicker
being a junk main (500 hours) you suck >:(
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?
Yeah this list is fucked. Like is this a tier list for how good the heroes are or the best heroes for new players to learn the game. This list makes no sense, a new player on kiriko will be useless and won't learn the game anywhere near as fast as compared to LW or Zenyatta. Literally putting the hardest characters in the game as the best for new players is so backwards it's giving me a headache
GGs
W sym take that hero feels worse to fight than sombra, and i mostly play zen
I have dandruff
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 ❤
Ive been playing Junkrat since like 2017 and I have to say,
Ya probably
nah i hated this video, idk maybe im just not the target audience.
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?
30:09 lol she’s getting a My Hero Academia skin as we speak
Venture mains in shambles
Bas in F tier? Opinion Discarded. Downvoted for clickbait. Unscribed from chalked influencer.
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.
Reaper main here
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
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.
Just play Ram.
No profile picture?
I just assume every Mercy main is dogshit at the game. LW and Moira are better picks that help your team more.
"there is no reaper main streamers" you did choice dirty man
Thought this was a tier list for new players. I think you lost the plot a bit dude.
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
Imagine playing mercy
Don't Metter bowling and rolling still
b-but with mercy I can damage boost my bastion fren .. :^)
Mercy is the worst.
First
Torb cuz yer a dorf
Juno is imo (by character design) really, REALLY mid
