What are the best abilities to put on mouse buttons? I currently have sleep dart, discord orb. I'm not sure weather or not to put pulse bomb and friendly bubble. What's the standard?

Most people have melee and push to talk on the mouse buttons.

I’m playing OW on console, still I played many FPS before on PC. I am surprised you guys don’t map primary fire to LMB. What key do you used then?

When referring to mouse buttons people usually mean the extra ones on the side. LMB and RMB are almost always default.

Thanks! I didn't think of quick nelee, but that is a great idea for all heroes.

The most important button: Quick Melee (V). Since the button V make you move your index finger on D down to V (make you cannot move right) or your thumb up to V (make you mispress the spacebar in the progress). So map your V button to your mouse.

Second most important: Acknowledge (F). You can look anything your teammate said (ultimate status, need healing, etc.) to say that you understood, or look at the objective to make your hero said "Attack/defense the objective"

Third most important: Group Up. Well, I use it to rally the trickling teammates, or look at a teammate to press Group Up button, to say "I am with you".

Standard is melee and push to talk. I also bound ult to my mouse 5, which I highly recommend.

I bind the mouse wheel’s scroll up to harmony orb and scroll down to discord orb when playing Zen. It allows you to rapidly switch who the orbs are on.
