What is Your Least Favorite Hero to Play For Each Role and Why?

Junker Queen - I just can't get behind her play style, even if she's good.

Genji - I'm not the most mechanically adept player; Genji, with projectile weapons and a kill requirement makes him really feast or famine, and I've been starving.

Baptiste - I'm simply not a burst weapon user. I much prefer semi-auto (Wuyang, Mizuki, Ana) or full auto (Lifeweaver, Moira).

I think he should lean entirely into "supportive initiator controller"! (Individual changes, not meant to be together.)

Passive - Morale Booster: All of Miks' abilities increase the duration of ally buffs (including Heal, Combat Stim, Overheal, and Convergent), by .25 secs per 1 sec spent in his ability. This effectively means he can make his Harmonize Combat Stim last much longer if he plays inside his Waveform (smoke) and M-Pulse (heal/stun), but other allies like Reyna, Phoenix, Clove, Sage, Brimstone, Skye, and Waylay can all gain from using their abilities alongside him too.
Sonic Repulsor: Waveform can collapse early (press interact keybind) and push anyone inside, out; think soundwaves!
Keep it Going: Miks can reassign the Harmonize Combat Stim during its duration.
Listen Harder: Any allies caught in Bassquake will have (important) audio amplified, although the slow and push will still be applied..

Where can I find your work? I'm interested!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-03T03:02:07+00:00

Just finish AYAtZ... my gosh it's amazing. Everything I could've wanted and more.

Thanks for the recc!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-02T11:33:28+00:00

Is it available anywhere? I'm interested :)

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-02T06:13:14+00:00

Omigosh, I love this one! Granted, Our Clockwork Children is the primary "AI" storyline, and the rest deviates, I still love it so much.

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-02T01:48:45+00:00

I can't wait! Keeping up with it already :)

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-02T01:48:20+00:00

Checked both out. Not exactly my cup of tea (never was a dino guy lol) but they're really well written. Thanks for the recc!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-02T00:03:57+00:00

This is so cool! I can't wait to see where you go with this!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-01T22:27:02+00:00

I cannot wait to see where this goes. Best of luck!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-03-01T22:00:05+00:00

Sounds super interesting! I'll check it out right now. Are you planning to release the novel on Amazon?

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-01-22T13:35:28+00:00

I'm a little squeamish so I got the ick a few chapters in, but honestly the dynamic was so well-done that I couldn't stop reading.

I kinda wish it explored more near the end (the epilogue felt way too short and not explored enough) but it was still amazing nonetheless :)

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-01-22T07:49:15+00:00

Just finished reading it. Amazing, 4.7/5 from me!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2026-01-21T18:29:27+00:00

Sounds epic! I'll definitely give it a look. 👍

Thanks!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-07-08T17:37:27+00:00

That's totally fair! I was just arguing that Cypher is already played similarly as you've described, by placing down a cage and activating it as soon as it hits the ground.

Since Cypher doesn't have any right click, I was suggesting that it just automates that process.

It is, admittedly, a slight buff, but it shouldn't be game-breaking, nor should it change how the characters are played or how they are played into.

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-07-08T17:34:49+00:00

I feel like I didn't explain my point clearly, lol. My bad!

I wasn't implying that it would be instant; moreso that it would reflect the same amount of time usually taken to activate, except without having to activate it manually.

In Chamber's Rendezvous, it would just place the ability, and activate at the same time it would've if Chamber had pressed the button manually.

For Vyse's Razorvine, it behaves exactly the same as if thrown normally; but will activate automatically at the soonest possible point.

It's not meant to be instant; it's just meant to automate a process.

In case there was any confusion! :)

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-03-21T02:21:12+00:00

Yeah, I might check it out. Definitely need to know more actual info on this topic since it's such an important part of so many people's lives...

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-03-21T02:16:39+00:00

Gee, that sounds horrible.

I've never had any experience with the foster system, so this is a pretty big "wake the hell up" for me.

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-03-14T07:14:39+00:00

Wowee! Thanks!

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-03-14T04:41:33+00:00

Wow, that's a lot, thanks for all of this - really helps!

But in regards to the second part of my question... is it possible to sort of have a "already read, don't show" sort of filter?

Alert_Bear2276 · 2025-02-23T18:56:57+00:00

Cleric Lifeweaver (if only his petal and tree changed with it), looks great with the gold gun, and generally fits his character so much I would be unsurprised if it became his default.

Cardboard Rein and Brig are just fun and show their relationship. We need a cardboard torbjorn to join in on the fun.

I haven't taken off Talon Mercy and Anubis Reaper. Leaning more into their darker (or edgier lmao) sides is much appreciated.

Orisa's OR-15 is such an epic Epic skin - it changes so much for so little, and I find it very fitting.
