Overwatch Hero Support Difficulty Rating

Who is the hardest support hero and why?

Those who are new to Overwatch will find support heroes – support is difficult. Preserving the life of the whole team is not an easy job, especially when being killed first is very high. But you don’t need to panic when playing support: a lot of support heroes have a big influence on the game, even if you are a new player.

Below is a ranking of the difficulty of Overwatch support heroes from hardest to easiest to play.

Ana

Because she’s holding a sniper rifle, the player needs to know how to properly align. Ana is one of the most challenging heroes to play – that’s why Ana is the hardest support hero to master. Because Ana can damage enemies and heal allies, Ana players must be extremely vigilant around. Need to know when to prioritize healing, when to actively shoot the enemy. Her two other abilities also have two effects: Biotic Rifle and Biotic Grenades. Everyone is subject to these two abilities, so knowing exactly how to use them is essential.

Biotic Grenades deals damage to enemies and heals allies, and also prevents enemies from healing, further increasing the usefulness of this kit. Both Nano Boost and Sleep Dart support teammates. Sleep Dart is used to stun an important enemy hero, while Nano Boost buffs an ally. Without contact with each other, these skills will become less effective. That’s why it’s so hard for her to play well.

Zenyatta

Like Ana, Zenyatta players need to have good shooting skills to be effective. Zenyatta can deal massive amounts of damage with Energy Orbs – and bullets are extremely accurate. Of course, it is still guaranteed that the Orb of Harmony heals allies and the Orb of Discord makes the opponent weaker.

Communication, like Ana, is the key to being a successful Zenyatta. Players need to know who to heal, and let their teammates know who has ‘Discord’. And Zenyatta’s ultimate Transcendence, in addition to healing, has great potential. It is also used to block enemy moves, typically Sombra’s EMP. To know when to use it, you need to have great skill and ‘game sense’ – and when that happens, you will be the MVP of the match.

Symmetra

Symmetra is not difficult when it comes to shooting, but if players want to have a big impact in the game, they need to do more. Symmetra’s weapons automatically lock onto enemies, making them easy to use. However, the abilities that Symmetra has requires good skill. Players will want to place Turrets, Teleporters, and Shields in an area where they can’t be destroyed easily, but with the help of teammates. Knowing where to put these items requires you to have knowledge of the map – that map. Naturally, that is not possible in new players.

Lucio

One of the easier and more popular heroes is Lucio. The skill set is friendly to new players, but Lucio still needs a bit of skill to play well. Crossfade is an important part of the skill set, allowing players to switch teams between healing and fast movement. Lots of new players keep healing all the time. This is fine at low levels, but if you want to climb higher, you need to adjust a bit.

When new players choose Lucio, they will have an immediate effect if they walk next to an ally and continue to heal, while continuously firing their bullets, that’s why we put him as one of the Hero support is easier. But to play Lucio well, you need to master all of his skills.

Mercy

Mercy can heal a lot with just a few mouse clicks, but that doesn’t make her easy to play. Mercy is obviously one of the easiest support heroes for newbies, but there are a few things players need to know before picking Mercy. For Mercy, the most important thing is the location. Because she heals or increases damage all the time, she can’t defend herself. Unless Mercy has teammates that really want to protect her, Mercy needs to be in a good position to avoid being hunted by the enemy.

Understand map – map. Observe the opponent. Mercy players need to be constantly aware of what’s going on around them at all times, which makes her extremely difficult to tame at high levels.

However, Mercy will be ‘remade’ in the coming weeks. The skill set will be revised, moving Resurrect to a secondary ability and adding a new Ultimate, Valkyrie. Mercy’s ‘remake’ version will definitely increase Mercy’s difficulty quite a bit, but we need to wait a bit more to understand better.
