[Top 10] Overwatch 2 Most Annoying Heroes

 




Now that the Overwatch hype has mellowed down, players have played enough hours and are accustomed to the meta that certain stand-out heroes are notorious for their ability to annoy and tilt. This article will go over the top 10 most annoying heroes to play against, with special mention if they’re also annoying to play with. Each of the heroes on this list is not poorly designed or in need of a nerf; rather, they are really annoying to play against and fun to troll with. Everyone has their own list of “annoying” characters, but this one is based on personal experience and research. If you’re an avid player, you may agree with at least a few of the heroes on this list. Each entry technically has its own counters, but using those counters effectively isn’t as easy as it sounds. Each hero will have an entry explaining their strengths, followed by what it's like to play against them, and finally, quick tips and tricks on their weaknesses and counterpicks. 10. Doomfist

Doomfist, the notoriously mobile and hard-hitting hero, jumps in at the number ten spot for the most annoying heroes to deal with. Doomfist has plenty of great stats to be a DPS tank, as he excels at getting in and out of fights, hunkering down from enemy fire, and being one of the few heroes to retain their crowd control abilities, which enable his high damage combos that can one-shot squishy heroes. Though most Doomfists will not pose a significant threat to your team, encountering the rare one-tricks feels like playing a 5v6 due to how oppressive a good Doomfist can be. With three mobility tools in his arsenal, as well as the ability to stun enemy heroes for 0.5–1 seconds when Rocket Punched against a wall, Doomfist can make fights in close quarters a living nightmare. For players struggling against a skilled Doomfist, fear not, as he has a long list of counters such as Roadhog, Pharah, Reaper, Genji, Echo, and Ana. Not to mention that the rest of his team will be vulnerable as Doomfist has no options to protect his teammates, and ignoring him to rush the enemy team puts both Doomfist and his allies in between a rock and a hard place. What Makes Doomfist Annoying:
  • Mobility, Mobility, and Mobility
Having horizontal and vertical mobility, along with an ultimate to bail himself out of a bad spot, makes Doomfist an extremely slippery hero to pin down.
  • Boops and Environmental Kills
Doomfist excels in maps that have a bottomless pit near an important objective, as his Rocket Punch can boop enemies off the map.
  • A Beefy and Lethal Flanker
The best Doomfists take unconventional routes into the center of a team, chunk or eliminate the key heroes, and then leap away or negate damage to buy time for his next rotation of cooldowns. 9. Widowmaker
Every hero is built with a specific role and playstyle in mind, and when it comes to long-range engagements overlooking a key area of the map, there's no competition for Widowmaker. She embodies the long-range sniper archetype in Overwatch 2, while having tools to deter, escape, or even fight back against enemies that attempt to flank her. Being sent back to the spawn room because you appeared on Widowmaker’s screen for a few frames is mildly irritating, to say the least. On maps such as King’s Row, Junkertown, and other payload maps, she excels at setting up a sniper nest, clicking on the enemy’s heads, and forcing the enemy to answer her with a barrier tank, a diver, or taking the alternative path. If you're struggling against Widowmaker, the best way to deal with her is by utilizing hard covers to avoid appearing on her screen. Alternatively, tank heroes can swap to barrier-wielding juggernauts such as Reinhardt, Winston, and Sigma to provide cover for their teammates. Swapping to Genji or Tracer is a viable option for dps heroes, as both heroes have the mobility and escape options to dive an unsuspecting widowmaker. What Makes Widowmaker Annoying:
  • One-Shot Potential at Any Range
Widowmaker's rifle has no damage dropoff, and dealing up to 300 damage per headshot makes dealing with a good Widowmaker a living nightmare.
  • Grapple to Escape, Reach High Ground, or Jump Peek
Her Grappling Hook is a versatile ability for reaching high ground, jump peeking, or grappling away, which only adds to her annoyance.
  • Ultimate Reveals Positioning
If you thought seeing the locations of your friendly allies was a game changer for your awareness, imagine if the enemy can do the same. An underappreciated ultimate that becomes more valuable as your rank rises.
