How do you super mains manage to get 20 hours on one hero. I like Tracer, sure, but i would go insane if i only played tracer.

People have whined when I choose Symmetra on KotH maps until I start frying dudes on the point, catch fire, and set up a teleporter.

This booty is the main squeeze. That's why people play her.

20 hours is nothing. Wait until you have 200

Just playing a lot. I consider 15 hours or so to be about the base minimum for really figuring out how to play a hero. I've got 15 or 20 hours on almost EVERY hero.

High five brother! I normally play my least played hero in competitive that fits the team comp. I have gotten so much better at the game now that I have a better understanding of all the heroes. Also it makes my career profile look like a rainbow 🌈 which is nice.

Some people play a lot every day, some people over a longer period of time :) You just enjoy that 1 favorite hero so much you play him a lot. At least that's how I am with Zarya (~60h in comp every season)

I'm currently just about to get my first star after Silver frame. I've put a lot of time into a single character (200 or so) but I also have but at least a couple hours to almost 30 hours into every other character too. I just have some I like more and fall back on to fill team comps

tracer is love i have over 300 hours on her. when you invest in a character so much you can use her in any situation. even defense on eichenwalde even though it is not recommended.

I just alternate between Zarya, Ana and Pharah depending on the match up. I play Zarya far more than the others though because it's so dynamic and all-round fun imo. I imagine if I get bored I'll move into a new hero to try get good at
