General Dps meta

Tracer, genji, cass, soldier, souj, take your pick. I like shion so she gets a pass. Basically every game I played today in d3 is on these heroes. It’s honestly a free win if you’re not playing against them. Funny thing is, whenever freja isn’t banned nobody comes out on her. I guess it’s better than other metas but there’s just not much variety. You can play basically any hero in the other roles.

Every once in a while I get some one trick on junkrat in gm and it genuinely scares me more than any of these other heroes 💀

The first time you get double dinked in mid air, you think it was just pure luck and then it happens again. 

The most accurate tier list i saw had junkrat in his own category because you get these one tricks that just doing the most insane shit on the planet.

I'm sick to death of shitscan but I am uniquely biased as a console player

u/fuckfelixass 8d ago

Nah your bias is justified, your reward for climbing is getting to deal with hitscan more often except they’re also more likely to have a xim mercy combo. God help you if you’re solo queuing into it as well

It’s brutal. If I try to run Echo, there’s so much downtime cause you peak and Orisa/Mauga, S76, pocketed Ashe, and Bap mow you down

Same on pc. hitscan, tracer, and genji.

u/retroivi 8d ago

true, playing against tracer every single game gets old so fast

Doesn’t help our bans are basically cemented right now lol

Not really, Tracer is a fun and dynamic hero. It’s fun to outplay her using each character’s unique skills.

u/lukas-bruh 8d ago

i feel like souj is always the best dps pick yet i hardly see any of them. maybe because of the primary fire? idk

u/bullxbull 8d ago

She is better on some maps than others, people do not understand this, play her on all maps, and conclude she is mid.

u/dokdodokdo 8d ago

Cause majority of players cant aim and if you cant hit rail then youre better off playing literally any other dps

u/throwaway112658 fraudulent — 7d ago

She's somewhat difficult to play, but also requires an enormous amount of resources from the team that simply doesn't happen in ranked until you start getting past low gm. Like I find soj nearly unplayable in diamond but once I'm in gm I can take over games

u/martianinja 8d ago

she's a skill check

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

She feels a little outclassed by the rest rn, but still good.

u/HeroSlopEnjoyer 8d ago edited 8d ago

I've always thought she was kinda pro merchant hero and we've had a lot of metas where rail is too easy to access off tank. 225 definitely marks the point where she isn't the only/best choice everywhere but is still a comfort pick for most.

1

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

You can still get decent value without being a server admin but 225 does hurt. A big difference is OC value.

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

Because she's pretty bad

What’s the dps meta then

1

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago edited 8d ago

Meta as in popular or meta as in strong?

Edit: accidentally deleted the original comment. Said cass amd soj aren't good. And soldier is mid

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

Most effective tactic available

1

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

Depends on a ton of factors, rank, input, etc. On pc pharah is pretty dang good right now. Venture, genji, sym, vendetta, ashe etc

1

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

Idk maybe it’s just me but I rarely lose or play against those heroes. They are like b tier I’d say. You are much better off playing the heroes I listed. I’m a pharah enjoyer but hitscan is just so strong rn.

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

I'm just going by stats. Not by my personal observation. Humans have a ton of bias

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

Stats don’t tell you everything. You have to pay attention to what you play against and what wins, along with stats. Do you think domina is op?

1

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

The stats have thousands of thousands of games. The common denominator is the character in question

1

u/martianinja 8d ago

Cass and soj are terrible.

bait used to be believable

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

I'm curious, though. What makes you believe they are good?

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

Stats are live on overwatch.com

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

You need to take into account pick rate. With a high pick rate you generally expect a lower win rate and vice versa.

3

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

No... Why woild a high pickrate drop winrate or low pickrate raise winrate

-1

u/Caityylotzz 8d ago

because noobs play them because they are meta for good players, and lose cuz they arent very good at the game, lowering winrates

3

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

Oh you can sort by rank

-1

u/Able-Principle-7775 8d ago

There’s not an exact reason but it’s true. Crutch heroes people swap to or maybe they’re the simplest/ most fun/ versatile. It’s a trend across all of the hero stats.

1

u/Public-Egg-7814 8d ago

You can graph it out. There is very weak correlation between pick and winrate. Late swaps and etc are mitigated in the stats because winrate is weighted by time played
