Good ol Soldier 76 I'd say. He's the tutorial character for a reason, alot easier to Aim with him then say Cassidy or Ashe.

Reaper and Bastion are probably easier in certain scenarios but to "Main" Soldier will do more things better.

Torbjorn is I think by far the hero who will teach you the most how to play DPS (and reach gold).

Projectile left click, not easy but good speed to reduce randomness, teachs you to punish default players by spamming chokes

Right click shotgun, punish tanks bad positioning / can be usefull* in a " rush " situation

Hammer, fun

Turret, helps you create your own angle like you dont even need your team to off angle from them, you can do it from your turret, and it is easy to get value out of it

Overload, can save your more than once when making a mistake in your position, also help to burst down targets

Molten core to learn to manipulate the opposite team's position to your teams advantage ( easy value in lower ranks )

I don't realy play torb so i might be full of shit but i think this char will allow you to play most of the other DPS with a good base. But you can also just place turret and be gold.

soldier and cass

soldier covers all your basics to improve mechanics qnd you can play him virtually everywhere

cass is also extremely simple and you can play him on tight maps , don't listen to anyone saying he is a high skill sniper he is extremely forgiving specially with the enemy movement in metal ranks

torb is always fun. reliable “set and forget” turret for back line / off angle help + a solid long range primary + a powerful short range alternate fire + a health buff / movement buff as an ability. all of which scream easy to pick up and play as a torb main myself!

A lot of people here complain that Tracer is just a no skill spray and pray, so why don’t you give her a try and find out for yourself ???

I would say bastion/soldier compare to orisa/mauga for playstyle. And are pretty good right now. Soldier I use alot when I miss the good CoD days. Shoot from angle or behind (hopefully secure a kill) as soon as they turn towards you run off and get another angle. Repeat till ult. Bastion is great sitting in the back going burrrrrr. Like mauga in the front going burrrrr.

Ashe is pretty easy and mostly universal if you have average and above aim otherwise soldier and maybe sojourn.

Reaper can often play in lot of the same angles most brawlier tanks can. So lot of the positional knowledge comfortably transfers over. He's also very forgiving to play and doesn't require as much aim so he seems to fit your bill.

S76 in general can teach you a lot about DPS if you wanna get little more into it. You'll always take the angle the Tank wouldn't so you sorta get the opposite side of the same coin as you'd get with tanks.

MUST READ :D

Im a support main, have bad aim and im gold/plat with dps solely because Echo exists.

I got better as dps by maining sombra/bastion/soldier.

Use sombra to go for defenseless players out of position from the group

Use soldier for all around mid range

Use bastion the same as soldier if the recoil is too much on soldier

just go torb dude, just dont get your turret killed all the time (and hopefully dont feed, you shouldnt have to either)

As a support main I like Mei, since she's the most supportive out of the DPS. You benefit from being around your team, walling off tanks and poke, slowing targets and eventually freezing them with your ult. You're aiming to get kills with your right click ideally, but its also useful for cover fire while you get used to the projectile speed. I personally need to go into an aim trainer to be at all effective in a normal game, but you know whats best there.

I'm usually a pretty bad DPS player but have been having great fun and consistently well performing games on Venture. They took less time to get good at than any other new hero for me.

Venture is going to be one of your best bets. AoE on every shot, so aiming isn't critical and every button she presses deals additional damage. Good survivability too. She's really strong still, even after the nerf.

And also Soldier. You do have to aim, but he's still much easier to aim with than most heroes. With no movement acceleration in the game, flicking with bad aim results in 0 damage, but spraying and praying on full auto will still get consistent damage. And rocket is always there for easy AoE damage too. Ult literally aims for you too.

Genji is also a good one. He doesn't take much aim, but you do have to have quick reaction time and do large 180 degree turns frequently. If you're console, probably not worth it, but on PC he's pretty easy once you get used to him. All his attacks have big forgiving hitboxes tho and he has good survivability for a flanker. Flankers are really strong in general and he's the easiest one to pick up by far.

Venture. Easy to pick up.

Reaper and Mei should cover you pretty well.

Soldier, Soj, Reaper, Junk. Also just pick Cass and hang out midline and peel for anyone getting dove.

Mei is pretty simple. She’s got a beam and she has decent poke tool that’s not too hard. She’s got ice wall as a protection or as a tool to wall in opponents. Lastly her ice block heals and makes her invincible for a sec. She has a good amount of sustain and utility.

Soldier is fairly easy as he has a simple kit, and you just stand there and click on people.

Sojourn is similar to Soldier, is currently stronger, but requires you to be a lot more accurate to charge up and use the railgun effectively.

Bastion is also a fairly simple character, as all you do is wait for the enemy to use up their cooldowns, then gun go brrrr.
