What hero is easiest in overwatch starting out

Soldier 76 could be a good starter for damage and for healing you Canon choose Lucio

Started as soldier as well, then winston, ended up being a Mei/Reaper main. Moira is really good for a new player tho.

Just what the title says. I just started playing and i'm pretty shit at the game, wanting to know which one is easiest to get the hang of in the beginning?
And which would be the hardest?

I think Solider 76 is one of the Best starting Chars to start with Overwatch.
But Widowmaker is also a good Pick!

Probably Soldier 76, the reason for this is because of how linear his gameplay is. You can just sprint around and spray and pray and hit an occasional skill shot.

Soldier 76 is easiest for most. Some have an easier time with lucio though

Depends what functuon u want to perform, but i would say a healer is the easiest or a tank

Depends on what you want to do.

Mercy is like the go to beginner healer because she's very difficult to mess up at lower ranks and levels. I started on Mercy as support them moved to Moira. The concept of Moira is fairly easy but... I have an unpopular opinion when I say Moira is definitely not the easiest to play. You have to learn to balance both of your abilities because one is dependent on the other while your team depends on you.

If you want to play damage from the get-go. Bastion is a must pick on some maps. Stay off of the snipers unless you just want practice or have sniper practice from other FPS games. When I started DPS I played a lot of Junkrat and Pharah. Pharah is fairly easy once you learn how to time her rockets and Junkrat at lower ranks and levels is one of those, "throw your bombs and hope it hits someone" characters.

Tank... D.Va is fairly easy. Orisa is fairly easy. Reinhardt is rather easy but to efficiently use him to his max ability takes a little practice.

Orisa, or probably mercy. very simple playstyle. Even moira is pretty easy.
