Players in Overwatch 2 have come to a unanimous decision on who they believe is the weakest hero in the game. Wrecking Ball, who was once a prominent figure in the meta, has fallen into obscurity and is in desperate need of a buff.
A Reddit thread sparked a debate on the weakest heroes in the game, and Wrecking Ball received the most mentions. Players expressed their frustration with his current state, stating that he is only viable in highly coordinated teams and is overall in a horrible spot.
Since the launch of Overwatch 2, Wrecking Ball has struggled to find his place in the meta. Despite receiving buffs throughout the year, he has failed to regain his former glory. His mobility is a strength, but he is easily countered by heroes like Brigitte and Kiriko. Even the recent rework of Roadhog, who was a major counter to Wrecking Ball, did not improve his situation.
Some players have even called for a complete rework of Wrecking Ball to bring him back to his former strength. They argue that his current abilities and playstyle are outclassed by other heroes in the game.
While Wrecking Ball received the most mentions as the weakest hero, Cassidy also garnered attention. Players believe that Cassidy is outperformed in all possible roles and struggles to excel in any specific role. Despite receiving frequent changes and nerfs, Cassidy has faded from the spotlight and would require a few buffs to reclaim a top-tier position.
Overall, Wrecking Ball’s weakness and lack of impact in the meta have made him the clear choice for the weakest hero in Overwatch 2, according to players.
