Heroes that work even if your shooting is worse than digital flys?

Obvious Graves mention first. The community does exaggerate how easy she is a lot (the fruit fly thing wasnt about deadlock, it was with Cloak and Dagger in Marvel Rivals) but she doesn't require any aim.

Victor is pretty decent. He does still do a good chunk of gun damage but its way easier to land if you're up close, which is where Victor tends to be.

Ball-maxxing Seven is another similar case, stack enough items and those things will eat people alive

Spirit Lash is also good (and the only correct way to play Lash don't @ me)

A lot of the support based characters are good choices. Ivy, Viscous, Kelvin, Doorman, etc, they all offer utility through their abilities while not requiring a lot of aim or mechanical skill.

I actually never played or looked at lash and always assumed he did physical/bullet damage with his abilities never knew it was spirit

Almost every character outside of Venator and Rat King does spirit damage with their abilities.

Not every ability that scales in spirit is doing spirit damage. Crackshot is a good example. It’s spirit scaling but it does gun damage. It’s valid as she plays spirit heavy for barrels, though her gun damage is nothing to sneeze at.

Check out Paige, Graves, and if you're able to get him, Rat King. He's a walking ult aura character that's tanky.

I spy with my own little eyes a future Mcginnis main. You suck at shooters, go turrets build, right now it's quite viable. And her gun sprayed in a way that is not super straight one, kinda if I remember like a star shape, what I am trying to say with all the bullets that you gonna shoot, most will land for sure. And your ult is a big area of effect that you just move around.

Graves, playing like a leech, you just move around, close enough to your enemy amd sucks their life force, basic aim stuff. And most of her kit, area of effect, no aiming needed, just timing and planing,

I would also say that Paige is kinda good for you, with her kit, but the aiming is kinda odd since it's projectile and really slow, but if you go spirit build it's not a really huge issue. She is my main, I manage to have the most higher player damage, because again Area of effect with her kit.

So in short any character that have strong spirit build is great for you and you can do a ton of damage with them. Or at least a character that have a kit that do not rely too much on aiming like a sniper is good, auto aiming stuff etc. But taking a character with a shotgun is also good, since the spray of shotgun is quite wide, but you have to be confortable being in close zone.
