If I like playing Juno, who else might I like?
Hey everyone,
A while ago I got back into Overwatch. I tested out a bunch of the new heroes, and found that Juno clicked well with me. I like how due to her mobility and high ground possibilities, you don’t have to take too many risks and you are rather safe even while still having impact on the match.
The thing is, while I would say that I play a pretty decent Juno now, I don’t want her to be the only hero I am able to play, because A someone else might pick her, and B I do want to play Overwatch instead of Junowatch.
But every attempt to play another hero felt like a humiliation ritual, like I have never played this game before.. I felt highly immobile in most of the characters I tried or “too close” to the action, so I guess I do like a bit of safety distance?
As for the heroes I tried:
For Supports I’ve tried a few. Besides Juno, the one that worked best for me was Moira, but I don’t have a lot of fun on her. I guess it’s better than nothing. Lucio does have high mobility, but I he needs to be too close for me to comfortably play him. On Kiriko I managed to maintain a comfortable distance, but my aim on her is horrendous. I also got flanked a lot and could neither hold myself in 1v1s nor could I escape. Zen just feels extremely slow and I cannot for the life of me do any damage on Wuyang.
For Tanks I feel like the issue isn’t as strong because of the high HPs and I don’t feel endangered as quickly. Orisa and Mauga worked somewhat for me, but again, the fun wasn’t exactly there? But I might not be a tank person anyway.
Now with DPS I struggle a little because I really hesitate queuing for DPS. I don’t know why exactly, but it’s some mental blockade that doesn’t let me because I’m not “good enough” yet. But I think I would like to play it more, if I found the right hero. I’ve tried a few matches as Shion and I wasn’t horrible but it didn’t click like when I first played Juno.
I know this reads as if I basically want a second Juno, which, fair, maybe I do. I am also aware that you need to learn each hero before you get good at it. But Juno didn’t feel nearly as frustrating to learn than any of the ones I tried, so I thought maybe asking here wouldn’t hurt.
TLDR; what I search for is a hero with (some or all of) these attributes.
- High mobility (can get in and out of combat very quickly or escape 1v1s)
- Midrange (or at least not too close)
Maybe someone has some recommendations or tips, that would be great :)
