Help me choose a third main and flex option.
I'm a Mirage main. I've been a Mirage main since I started playing in season 5, I have about 1,200 hours in this game - *at least* half - probably more - of my actual playtime has been on Mirage. I could play a decent Mirage game with my eyes closed.
Alter has been the first legend since Mirage that has clicked for me in the same way he did. I have less than a fifth of the stats on her that I do on Mirage, but I've played for maybe one season a year for the last few years up until now. I'm competent with and enjoy her kit, I feel comfortable calling her my secondary main.
I've realized a couple things - one, I like two things in a character. An unorthodox playstyle that feels dynamic and unpredictable, and the ability to bring my team back from a losing situation. Two, I want to learn a third character. I know how to play most of the cast at a basic level, but I want to add another character to my rotation. That being said, I'm having a lot of trouble picking.
I've tried a game or two of the majority of the roster, and have most enjoyed Fuse, Ash, Valkyrie, Lifeline, and Newcastle, in no particular order. I least enjoyed Maggie, Horizon, Catalyst, and all of the recon legends except Valkyrie.
I have a pair of friends that are looking to get into ranked with me. I've never been a big ranked guy, but I think I'm decent enough at the game to hit gold with some time investment. One plays Revenant and Horizon, the other plays Ballistic and Bangalore. None of us really fills an IGL position - primarily because we don't really think it's necessary - but I'm the closest to it of the three of us and think I'd have the easiest time stepping into the role if need be.
TL;DR, I'd like to know which character will play into my strengths as someone that plays Mirage and Alter, will be fun, and will synergize well with my friends that primarily play Assault and Skirmisher legends. If any, that is.
