thank youu

Zen this low is insane 💀

[@willtheconqueror6148]

Tracer is alright. Shes not broken even with the 6 DPS. She’s just annoying and tracer mains think they have skill. No, you just blink so people can’t hit you then you recall. You’re a fly.

[@harryazcrac4248]

So what's your winrate with Tracer?

[@thePontiacBandit]

Sym and Mei are broken because they don't make much noise. The number of team kills I get with them is ridiculous in solo queues where nobody talks to each other. Just sneak up from behind. Launch your turrets and hold left click until everyone is dead. It's that easy. No mechanics. No support required. Just timing, usually about a few seconds into a team fight.

[@theinfamousbrothers6039]

doomfist in A is a bullsh it as s choice bro he weak as hell have lot of counters just like hog and he dont do damage with recent stun and ult ners

[@polar6066]

sym and not detrimental on A TIER is insane, i think you are a nice and all my dude but everyone i know agrees syms is ass in s8. and some tier list wont change that srry, like u didnt even properly explain why you put her so high

[@shivz97_97]

Kajor such a Tracer hater. But lets be honest only the top top players are able to get that broken part of Tracer while 99.9% of players struggle with her, shes by far the hardest hero to learn and should have a risk/reward ratio that reflects that. On the other hand you're a brig player so you opt for defensive characters that play themselvesrather than extremely squishy mechanical hero's ig

[@TSGC16]

That doesn't negate the fact that she makes certain heroes unplayable with 6 damage per bullet (Zen, Rat, Reaper)

[@shivz97_97]

@@TSGC16 i personally think zen can hold his own as a T500 support player idk about pro play but on ladder for sure, ive only seen 2 good tracers since this buff and the rest been ass

[@shivz97_97]

@@TSGC16 rat lives dont matter and reaper is getting a rework because he doesnt fit in ow2 so bad example

[@TSGC16]

@shivz97_97 yes but for the average player from like Gold to Masters a decent 6 dmg perbullet Tracer will just make certain heroes unplayable

[@shivz97_97]

@@TSGC16 the whole point of this post is that only the top 0.1% of players are good enough to make her broken, everyone below top 0.1% isnt, Tracer gets 1 shot combod by almost the entire cast, Extremely high skill in ability usage, mechanical aim and hardest to use ult

[@huntermushero9362]

Mauga turned out to be a lot stronger than B tier though. Ana and kiri are definitely S tier though.

[@Vaz_G]

Why would you play cass over sojourn? More consistent damage at close to mid range. Generally still not worth it but can be worth considering on some maps

[@Gerbil_OW]

How is Queen higher than Ram? He can do almost everything she can but better and with less teamwork. Queen MUST hit knifes to make plays and force CDs but with the omnic form buffs Ram can actually force out CDs before going in pretty easily. Nemesis form is better sustain than Shout and I'd argue has more offensive potential in solo q due to how shout can be very team reliant. Ram's ult is also way better than Queen rn since Kiri is so popular and you always have to bait suzu. Ontop of these Ram has a a much easier time into poor matchups since he can actually reasonably poke now. Don't expect to get kills in omnic form but you can farm so much damage and get ult every other fight. Yes Queen is a better counter-dive pick, but Ram has generally better tools in his kit and can now play in more dynamic ranges to avoid counters. Ram just dominates most the latter even up to high gm so he's S-tier imo.

[@ThomasLinkon]

This is a tierlist for climbing ladder Solo. Rammatra needs much more support, has a harder time getting picks and forcing cooldowns, and is more impacted by being cc'd since all of his plays have a clear time window that you can try to work around. The buffs helped a ton and he is certainly very good if not the best brawl tank right now, but I do agree JQ is a little more independent and can get value by herself more consistently if you really feel that you need to carry a team.

[@Diren_7]

Roadhog is literally the solo q hero lol

[@Kajor1]

yeah when he could oneshot hes still the worst tank in the game you play queen ana zen into him and he can do fuck all!!

[@Nero-lm6wj]

You don’t need to think about tracer like, at all, until gm. She’s not a reason to play or not play any hero. Even in GM, she’s frankly quite easy to shut down below GM1.

[@Aelu351]

I once was master 2 in like season 3 or so, had a break and now i got placed high plat/low dia.. and o boy o boy i never felt the pain more to grind.. in every match i have at least 1-2 braindead mates.. wont swap, wont counter, wont do anything.. it is actualy so bad, that the fun that this game gave me once has been sucked out.. it feels like if you play in plat/dia, you always have someone plays like bronce.. do you guys feel the same? or what are your experience in your rank?

[@dethbedsmolzwhent.t6498]

I wish Rein would have his 2000hp Barrier back. That was his priority the shield because he brings a hammer to Rocket Launching Gun, Gravity Beam, Sun Beam fight. Don't get me started on Bastions new Turret system having infinite ammo. *I was bastion in an Open Queue match they had Rein and Sigma. In my OW mind I was thinking of Regular Bastion in his regular current form. But I had to remember this OW post patch bastion has infinite ammo now wasn't problem mowing down 2 shields I also felt brain dead for the 1st time lol.

[@nasty_uzi5184]

Doom in A is wild

[@FullMetalEdits]

For those that can play him well it isn't

[@harryazcrac4248]

​@Resident_D the few that play him well probably aren't watching a solo queue list.

[@FullMetalEdits]

@@harryazcrac4248 doesn't make it less true

Ty for the video papa 👍

[@bear5197]

Such a good video bro

[@slumdogg7119]

Cassidy is horrible. Belongs on D tier

[@phredbookley183]

I think very highly of JQ, but I rarely hear someone else say that. Interesting. (Honestly, who can deny the power of Purple on an enemy at this point?)

[@iramayweatherjr8676]

Idk about y'all but Personally Moaga is the Butter to my Bread I Started playing him in rank and went 10-0 and went up to Di 4 I think he's amazing for what he can do and shreds

[@wm8401]

Uninstall is S tier

[@BobBob-it7tp]

2nd? x

[@michaelpurdy9165]

Sombra is so goddamn annoying. I can’t hunt her translocator anymore so how can I scout for her? It’s so lame. And hog needs a nerf, even if he isn’t good, he is so frustrating to not be able to kill and his trap is so dumb, the LAST thing this game needs is more things that aren’t turrets to shoot since they don’t get ult charge and your team doesn’t thank you because they’re idiots. I’ve played GM scrims, master’s games, diamond, plat, and no one shoots the stupid traps because you can’t ***ing see them.

[@ltsReallyHim]

Ur just bad bro

[@mekacrab]

you said "he isn't good" and "hog needs a nerf"... Nice logic mate. and btw, the trap is clearly visible, and idk why your team would thank you for destroying one tbh Sombra being annoying is what she does. If she wasn't what would be the point ?

[@michaelpurdy9165]

@@ltsReallyHim based comment, super funny and original😂 LOL

[@michaelpurdy9165]

@@mekacrab I don’t know why my team would be stoked to have someone who is aware of traps and all that bs when it doesn’t show up as damage numbers for you, but if you don’t, the hog gets a free one shot on your supports. I don’t know why they’d enjoy having someone help them out in a team based game. I don’t know why the point of a character is to make other characters have less fun, that seems like poor game design, but I hope you’re a sombra player and just fangirling your main, there’s no way you actually like playing with OR against the character…

[@mekacrab]

@@michaelpurdy9165 I'm saying they won't thank you because it's just normal to destroy a trap if you see one, they won't go out of their way to thank you for that, and they probably shouldn't. I am definitely not a Sombra player, I barely played her at all since her rework (since ever actually) but she always has been annoying, since day 1. Her hacking you is annoying, her being behind your team constantly is annoying, but that's the character. If you make her not annoying, you might as well delete the character because she would just be useless. I don't especially like playing against Sombra (especially good ones) but you can still deal with her so no big deal.

[@RoadhogGaming]

As A Roadhog Main (who would've guessed) I Would Put Hog At B Teir.

[@herobob]

if not A, hog is rly good and can solo kill enemy tanks

[@NobleRenegade7]

Hog is the better Mauga at this point.
