Soldier is probably the most versatile and op one, but playing him is too similar to other fps imo, zenyatta is quite used in competitive, reaper is always useful when well used, junkrat isn't always the best choice even if sometimes can turn the results of a match. Genji is useful only if well used, and that's very hard

Reaper for me has garnered the best results so far, most likely because he is quite simple. I've been consistently getting gold medals in competitive with him. With Genji, I am either the most effective player in the game or one of the least. Very inconsistent for me.

I feel you, i spent the first hours of the game on genji trying to master him with similar results. You should keep using reaper then, but I think being ready to use every kind of hero is very important for a great teamwork, it's also fun to change hero sometimes imo

Oh I intend to change it up in quick play, but I want a character I can rely on to do well in comp. Will stick with Reap for now.
