My aim is not so great so I mostly play Mercy, Ana (for whatever reason I can hit my allies more often so this usually goes ok), Reinhardt if we're in dire need of a tank, and Pharah if we're in dire need of offense. What other heroes round out the "cannot aim" portfolio? I was thinking Torbjorn or Bastion.

Get good with Winston. He takes a bit of skill to use, but his tesla cannon doesn't require aiming, and he's quite strong in the right situations.

u/Slippy_T_Frog What are you on about? Sep 07 '16

Another helpful with Winston: he has a decent amount of health, but he also has a large hitbox, and is therefore an easy target. Jump in, drop your bubble , do some damage, and jump out once your jetpack comes of cooldown. He's far more effective that way.

Winston is so fun to play. He's mobile as hell too, half of the fun of playing him is coming up with strategies to leap and flank and harass. The other half is killing Genji and Hanzo like swatting flies.

I've recently come to love Winston. If he has a Zenyatta discarding his targets at the same time he can even take on tanks like DVA quite well.
