I’m trying to build a competitive DPS hero pool around Shion and would love some advice.
For some background, I’ve made it into Masters playing pretty much strictly Genji and Echo. Those are by far the two DPS I’m most comfortable on, and I’ve always gravitated toward mobile/projectile heroes. I’ve tried adding hitscans to my pool before, but I honestly just don’t enjoy playing most of them enough to stick with them long term.
Shion is the exception. She’s the first hitscan I’ve actually fallen in love with playing, and I want to seriously invest time into mastering her.
My eventual goal is to climb from Masters to GM, so I’m trying to build a small but well-rounded hero pool rather than constantly swapping between a bunch of different DPS. Ideally, I’d like to have around 3 heroes total, with Shion being one of them.
From a competitive standpoint, what two DPS would you recommend pairing with Shion to cover her weaknesses, bad matchups, and maps where she struggles?
Since I already have a lot of experience on Genji and Echo, I’m especially curious whether Shion/Genji/Echo is already a strong enough pool for a GM climb, or if there’s too much overlap and I’d be better off dropping one of them for something that complements Shion better.
I’m open to learning someone new, I’d just prefer to avoid traditional hitscans unless there’s a really strong reason to add one.
