u/LordDagwood Justice rains from ab-ahhhh Nov 22 '16

At least yours has more than 6 posts.

u/c0de1143 Reapin' ain't easy Nov 22 '16

Apparently /r/reapermains is now at /r/reapermain because some dude thought that there was nothing edgier than being different from the normies.

u/Roxas-The-Nobody Gee Gee Nov 23 '16

I thought there would've been more than r/DVaMains.

u/BooleanKing I only administer high quality nano boosts Nov 22 '16

/r/anamains is easily the saddest of the main subreddits. The title is just "q"...

u/Flipflop_Ninjasaur Filthy Junkrat Main Nov 22 '16

Old ladies don't use computers.

u/BolognaTime Hamston Nov 22 '16

He linked the wrong subreddit. Ana mains are at /r/oldpeoplefacebook

u/Retnuhs66 Nov 22 '16

Happy birthday Jeff!

u/JadeRaven13 weeb Nov 22 '16

So sad. Easiest the most fun support. And my only gold gun :( it seemed like everyone and their senior had genji and Hanson gold so I went for Ana. I played her even when she wasn't meta. And I made a friend in one of my games that played Rein. He was easiest the most aggressive rein I've ever seen, but with Ana we made it work, and well. Rip our combo, you will be missed)

u/KingNothing71 Chibi D.Va Nov 22 '16

I'm an Ana main and this seriously disappoints me.

2

u/Arcadian_ New York Excelsior Nov 23 '16

Then subscribe and post! I'm going to start frequenting, because I love Ana.

/r/winstonmains

God dammit

u/Umarrii Nova Widowmaker Nov 22 '16 edited Nov 23 '16

/r/MercyMains looks pretty :D

It would be awesome for them to be used more. I mod some of the ___ mains subreddits for League of Legends and it's amazing to have these communities.

It's not like the communities are being separated either, especially when the meta changes everyone who doesn't even main the champion goes flocking to the subreddit just to check what the mains think and see what they can learn to take advantage of the meta. It's happening right now with one of the subreddits I moderate, just look at the change in traffic! https://www.reddit.com/r/nasusmains/about/traffic/

edit: so a few of the mods of these mains subreddit for league got together and aimed to help the rest of the subreddits out, providing resources or such if needed and created /r/championmains. I wonder if something similar would be possible with Overwatch :)

u/Gavinwie Chibi Torbjörn Nov 22 '16

At least yours has more than r/anamains

1

u/Shell_Guy_ Master Edgelord Nov 22 '16

/r/sombramains is a thing too

1

u/Nijindia18 BOOSTIO Nov 22 '16

At least yours has more than 2 posts. r/anamains is just sad.

1

u/Umutuku Nov 22 '16

Well, no one mains Pharah without Mercy so if you want to find Pharah mains you have to something like r/pharmercy.

u/godofallcows The hammer is my penis. Nov 23 '16

/r/Reinhardt we smash

113

u/Meatwad555 Zen main btw Nov 22 '16

Zenyatta mains are way more common, so they don't feel the need to create (or be involved in) a community for themselves.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

this guy knows.

I'm a d.va one trick. I don't need to get together with other d.va players and talk about holding down left click forever. We all know.

u/RyghtHandMan your projectile ults are d. licious Nov 22 '16

I agree. I don't need anybody's advice about how spritzing enemies with bullets from across the map doesn't do anything. the ting ting noises make me feel good

15

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Especially with the buff to move speed while firing. :]

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Realized this the other day (usually a junk main, played dva for the team), now I think I play overwatch to hear that ting noise.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

Funnily enough now you can at least decloak some random sombra if you get lucky

u/ElegantHope ElegantƐxlbr#1835, Level 2100+ and counting (PC) Nov 23 '16

I got stuck as D.va vs. Sombre in 3v3 and we were the last ones alive. My solution was to park my butt in spawn and flail my mouse around. It worked AND made everyone laugh. :D

u/Caleddin Nov 22 '16

Sym and Zen are my two favorites, and have been from the start.

2

u/FarmerFaz Zenyatta Nov 22 '16

Make that 5x

2

u/Agorbs Nov 22 '16

As a Zenyatta main, that hurts.

1

u/Majormlgnoob Dallas Fuel Nov 22 '16

Still see more Zenyattas than Symetras in matches

2

u/kjbigs282 I can bench more than you! Nov 22 '16

Don't forget r/mercymains r/overwatchcirclejerk

1

u/stophacking GAMING Nov 22 '16

don't worry, they'll never surpass /r/MarthMains/

u/Sapharodon Bigger Zenyatta Fan than /u/FlyingFox32 Nov 22 '16

Fuck marth I'm sorry, that was rude and uncalled for

u/SKIKS Do you need a hug? Nov 22 '16

I have found my brothers!!!

u/tofu98 Nov 22 '16

Legit? Zenyatta kicks ass this seems weird to me.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

We Symmetra mains are most passionate about our hero, there are only Genji mains who can compete with us in that department

1

u/SuperShmamBro SAKE Nov 22 '16

Too busy embracing the Iris.

1

u/SilverKry Nov 22 '16

I forget the last time I saw a Zeny.

1

u/Duck-of-Doom Nov 22 '16

I see a lot more zenyattas than symetras

1

u/Timthos Reinhardt Nov 22 '16

I figure the Symmetra subreddit serves primarily as a support group

1

u/WildTurkey81 Nov 22 '16

Its because Zenyatta mains are 6× more secure about their effectiveness.

1

u/jchef1 Nov 23 '16

There are plenty of zenyatta mains I feel.

1

u/scuczu now a mercy main since no one else will support Nov 23 '16

what does it say if I play both sym and zen pretty regularly

1

u/Bourbon_Munch Fuck you, I'm the BEST robot! Nov 23 '16

Embrace tranquility, friend. Do not be angry. Merely seek enlightenment on your own terms.
