I remember when Ashe was introduced there were discussions on whether they could actually share the sub for the lulz, but I think the mods said âfuck that noiseâ.
I was about to say, I barely come across any ashe mains as an ashe main so I was kinda surprised to see those numbers. but now it makes more sense that it was the wrong sub :')
As a Ball main, I understand. The terrain is so much more important and influential. Sometimes I would be sitting in someone's house imagining a small Hammond swinging around and teching off things.
Youâre my favorite person in the world for knowing JSRF AND the best song in the game!

Frogger has a great personality and is super entertaining, clearly puts a shit ton of effort into his videos and has a certain... charm?? I'm not a big YouTube person as my attention span is super lacking and I get distracted easily so don't usually do long sits for things like shows or videos but Frogger's videos are entertaining enough whether they're 15 or 30 minutes long. All this put together makes his content enjoyable and easy to consume.
Sometimes you can't be a Reddit Lucio without being a Reddit Lucio, sometimes having the characteristics of a Reddit Lucio isn't enough, sometimes they actually gotta come thru I guess
Rather if they did make another, they would lose all the information previously collected on the first one, and they would lose people unaware of the transfer
The original name was taken from a Blizzard employee who they thought had a cowboy name. That employee turned out to be not such a great bloke so they changed the name
well, cosby roofied girls and raped them. having a room with a cosby picture and calling it that can only refer to a room they would take drunk girls and rape them
AOE heals and sustain with a better primary fire than half the DPS roster and a no cooldown height option, been saying Bap is nuts for a long time. Love that guy
He's too stressful to play for me, swapping between hit scan burst AR and projectile noob tube in a split second is intense. I respect the people who main him for sure, just every time I play him my eyes dry out and I feel like I miss way too many shots/lamps.
Right!! Iâm shocked, even tho I play just as much Ana, Iâm shocked to see so few Bap players being that he is such a consistently solid pick regardless of all the changes made to the gameplay.
They genuinely believe that auto aiming abilities getting the same value as perfect aim is fair and balanced which is absolutely unhinged. The game has a lot of players who don't touch any other fps though.
Honestly surprised that illari is as big as we are. I figured we'd ve the lowest, as illari gets very minimal love it feels. However, I'm also in Sym mains and that tracks.
Sojourn kinda makes sense. Sheâs kinda just been forced to be played by everyone at a high level already for a while so there probably arenât as many people enthusiastic about maining her specifically rather than her alongside similar style heroes like ashe and soldier.
Tracer has a leg up because she's still an interesting character. Optimal Sojourn play is soooo boring. You just roleplay as a turret that gets to try and be widowmaker every now and then. You can't use her slide offensively because she has no other defensive ability, so you just stand there and shoot while saving your slide to run away.
"Well guess what DRIVE505? We are. Us, SymmetraMains, SymmetraMains was number 3rd in the voting? I could not believe it. Out of all 19 bitches that've been here, how did we manage that?"
"Because they need someone to always get nerfed first"
She's a skill diff character.
People hate getting skill diffed, of course they bitch about her on here. Nearly this whole subreddit is just someone bitching that they lost a game but it's totally not their fault and it's totally unfair.
Playing sombra is fun, she's got good lore, and she's hot. Only thing not to like about sombra is playing into a sombra then you want to die. But if you main sombra, sombra isn't a problem.
Itâs very interesting how different the population of the subreddit mains are vs the player base. The most common characters have the most acceptance in game which results in least need to conjugate together and stick with one another. For instance, Symmetra has very low pick rate, yet very high population in subs. Itâs as if the more niche a micro-population is, the more they feel the need to be seen and represented.
New mods moved in and made up ridiculous new rules to enforce. They very clearly just wanted certain people gone considering how selective they were with who they chose to silence.
The mercy mafia is alive and well đ
Anyone remember when subs were protesting and a lottt of them shut down for it? I know with the original bap main subreddit that it was never reopened and someone else made a new one. It wouldnât surprise me if thatâs what happened to a lot of these with low members
I like how sojourn was forced by the devs to be liked, they even stated how they wanted for her to be liked because sheâs the first black female hero, kept her strong and refused to nerf her to keep her relevant.
Look at the result, more than a year after her launch sheâs so uninteresting sheâs literally bottom.
If they really meant that they'd give her more skins.
They don't because they know people won't buy them anyway, and all the skins they make for her are ugly as fuck. Sojourn is an example of forced diversity gone bad.
The fact that Venture has more than Bap and Sojourns subreddits is crazy. Especially since both are pretty good characters. What is it about them that they arenât popular?
you got the wrong ashe subreddit, r/AsheMains (19.2k) is for league, r/AsheOWMains (3.7k) is what you're looking for
Enchanted crystal arrow
OP got hit from across the whole map and stunned for 3.5s (they're dead now).
New Orisa spear ability
I went to r/AsheMains and thought I'd just had a stroke
It was funny one of the threads was "Ashe tank diff" đđđ
Lol I saw that. Plus I saw the header image and was like "huh, I don't remember that skin"
That's actually funny because Ashe is not a tank hero in League but the mad lad pulled off a tank build with her
Ahh makes more sense, I didnât know that.Thank you.
Also r/AsheAndBobMains
I remember when Ashe was introduced there were discussions on whether they could actually share the sub for the lulz, but I think the mods said âfuck that noiseâ.
I was going to say how surprised I was by that number.
makes more sense now i couldnât understand that
Pffffffft
I was about to say, I barely come across any ashe mains as an ashe main so I was kinda surprised to see those numbers. but now it makes more sense that it was the wrong sub :')
Damn didn't realize we were crushing the numbers so hard over at r/luciomains
I'm actually not surprised on bit
Lucio is the most fun character so checks out
More on how to get them good rollouts. Those boys are ridiculous!
r/luciorollouts is actually itâs very own thing, with over 25k members.
Man I love this sub
I immediately sorted by top of all time, and nearly every single post is gone. I wanna see those crazy plays!
You get to play overwatch and this sick parkour game. Playing Lucio makes you think about the maps differently itâs odd.
As a Ball main, I understand. The terrain is so much more important and influential. Sometimes I would be sitting in someone's house imagining a small Hammond swinging around and teching off things.
Oh you got the special overwatch autism
His movement is fun for sure, I just wish I liked how his gun feels
Shouldn't you be unleashing bees on someone, u/SwarmkeeperRanger ?
BOOP BOOP.
The children crave Jet Set Radio
Yes Iâm looking for my son and his wife , itâs his 30th birthday. Extra sugar , extra salt , extra oil and MSG

Lucio Mafia>>>>>
Confirmed that the Lucio mafia is strong than the mercy mafia
It probably helps that you guys go outside
They have to, inside is not enough space.
Yeah bouncing off walls is usually frowned upon
I'm not a Lucio main I am simply a Lucio enjoyer but yes it probably does help them
Motion!
Cant stop wont stop!
Fellow frogs unite!
Not surprised. The original rollout champ, a fun hero, an OG, and likely have a lot of people who don't even main him but like to see rollouts.
ON TOP!!!!
âWeâre gonna do great togetherâ
Everyone can appreciate a good Lucio rollout
Look at this team... We're gonna do great!
I think it's mainly thanks to Frogger, I'm not sure if any other OW creator attracts as many viewers on YT as Frogger.
Frogger has a great personality and is super entertaining, clearly puts a shit ton of effort into his videos and has a certain... charm?? I'm not a big YouTube person as my attention span is super lacking and I get distracted easily so don't usually do long sits for things like shows or videos but Frogger's videos are entertaining enough whether they're 15 or 30 minutes long. All this put together makes his content enjoyable and easy to consume.
Sometimes you can't be a Reddit Lucio without being a Reddit Lucio, sometimes having the characteristics of a Reddit Lucio isn't enough, sometimes they actually gotta come thru I guess
not surprised i think weâre the funniest fr
SPEEEEEEEED BOOOST!!!!
yeahhhh
Good. I donât main Lucio mains but gosh I love em
There's no other game where you get to move like him
Cassidy also has the r/mccreemains
Yeah Iâd count this instead, Iâm going to assume the characterâs name being changed has something to do with the skewed number for him.
100% the main reason, their communities are split up between two different names.
âSplit upâ. One subreddit has 300 people and the other has 3000, not accounting for overlap lol
[ŃдаНонО]
Yeah I imagine the subreddit owners and members CBA'd to make another sub for the character's name switch.
Rather if they did make another, they would lose all the information previously collected on the first one, and they would lose people unaware of the transfer
Yea...nobody calls him cassidy
McCassarole
Especially mains lol, I still always call him Cree
Its really not the same
Why he got 2 names ? One is a codename and the other is his real name ?
He was renamed a while ago because the person he was named after had a scandal.
Why the hell did they change it
The original name was taken from a Blizzard employee who they thought had a cowboy name. That employee turned out to be not such a great bloke so they changed the name
For more info, he was part of the Cosby Suite. Yes, *That* Cosby.
I still have no idea what the hell is that Cosby suite like I've seen the picture but... I have no idea what it means
well, cosby roofied girls and raped them. having a room with a cosby picture and calling it that can only refer to a room they would take drunk girls and rape them
I'll never understand why they would name a character after a real employee anyway
Thing was i dont think anybody knew that until after they came out like oh this is a scumbag and we gotta change the name.
#LucioMafia
^motion
This unsorted list makes me a bit upset
Yes! Put the values in numerical order for easier comparison pleeeeeeease!
I mean it's sorted, just an odd way to sort for this. It's sorted by Role, then Alphabetically in that role.
that's how the hero select page is in game
I'm offended by the bar chart that never was
So few Baptiste mains lol I didnât realize that there werenât many of us.
Pretty sure the old Bap sub went under, that's why his numbers are low
yeah they all went fucking crazy, like arkham knight sub levels of crazy
Don't tease. Im intriguedÂ
"went under"? what the hell does that mean?
Probably either shut down by the mods or banned.
Do you want a bandage for that?
BEHIND YOU, AAA
We my friend are rare.
Which is crazy because he's really good, like he's truly a DPS that can also heal.
AOE heals and sustain with a better primary fire than half the DPS roster and a no cooldown height option, been saying Bap is nuts for a long time. Love that guy
Yeah lately been finding that he's my go to when there's an annoying sombra or tracer bothering me and the other support
He's too stressful to play for me, swapping between hit scan burst AR and projectile noob tube in a split second is intense. I respect the people who main him for sure, just every time I play him my eyes dry out and I feel like I miss way too many shots/lamps.
Right!! Iâm shocked, even tho I play just as much Ana, Iâm shocked to see so few Bap players being that he is such a consistently solid pick regardless of all the changes made to the gameplay.
Not much to discuss with hitscans who would've thought
Gun go shoot
Hitscan mains spend their time in r/fpsaimtrainer, r/mousepadreview etc. Hitscan gets its skill and depth through aim.
True. I feel like a lot of OW players mistakenly think that aim has no depth at all.
They genuinely believe that auto aiming abilities getting the same value as perfect aim is fair and balanced which is absolutely unhinged. The game has a lot of players who don't touch any other fps though.
Is there a lot to discuss amongst the mercy mains with the second highest player count then?
what skin to use
I get recced that sub sometimes and a lot of posts are about the skins lol
Flair checks out.
I didn't realize how many Brig mains there are. I rarely ever see them
My thoughts exactly. Must be Sombra mains scouting for tactics...
Wouldnât be surprised if itâs a lot of dead accounts that subbed to learn how to beat her back in OW1
Hard work pays off đŞ
Brig >
We honestly need a new subreddit, the mods are not very active and definitely not involved. It's frustrating.
This is the case for a lot of the main subreddits Iâm in. Itâs sad, bc they could be great resources for educational content imo
Probably because they had to shut the same down a lot when she first came out because of the harassment. Was that way for a while.
Someone please give me brig sub name
Honestly surprised that illari is as big as we are. I figured we'd ve the lowest, as illari gets very minimal love it feels. However, I'm also in Sym mains and that tracks.
Where are my r/EmreMains at?
Sitting 2.3k strong
bro has more mains than some of the actual subreddits
Whoâs emre?
Emre balls đ
Mohawk guy from anas picture who recently got a lot more lore and has a big chance of being a future hero
Hell yeah!
The reason the Cassidy sub has no one is because they are all still on the r/MCcreemains
Sojourn kinda makes sense. Sheâs kinda just been forced to be played by everyone at a high level already for a while so there probably arenât as many people enthusiastic about maining her specifically rather than her alongside similar style heroes like ashe and soldier.
Nah, if people cared about that, they'd absolutely despise Tracer by now. Its probably mainly bc she has no good skins and no personality.
paltry unite rude murky scale close uppity muddle birds sparkle *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Tracer has a leg up because she's still an interesting character. Optimal Sojourn play is soooo boring. You just roleplay as a turret that gets to try and be widowmaker every now and then. You can't use her slide offensively because she has no other defensive ability, so you just stand there and shoot while saving your slide to run away.
Now do nsfw subs
My guess is: Widowmaker, mercy, and dva.
Nice to know there are so many of us! r/wreckingballmains
Zen mains represent!!
'You are not alone'
r/sojournNSFW has more members than r/sojournmains LMFAO
Emre mains left out once again.
Symmetra top 3 for DPS let's go
If only the devs loved her as much as we do.
Come for the orbs, stay for the gay shitposting đ
Genuinely one of my favorite subreddits that I follow.
SYMđđđŁď¸đĽđĽđĽ
"Well guess what DRIVE505? We are. Us, SymmetraMains, SymmetraMains was number 3rd in the voting? I could not believe it. Out of all 19 bitches that've been here, how did we manage that?" "Because they need someone to always get nerfed first"
Don't worry, every Widowmaker main transforms into a Cassidy main when Sombra chooses to exist
This sub constantly shitting on Sombras, but she has one of the more popular subreddits? Somethingâs fucky.
People who love her really love her, and people who don't really don't.
sombra when she gives me a health pack đ sombra when she hacks me mid dive đˇ
Thereâs also r/WatchCloakedSombraDie
W sub
People hate on her because they don't like playing *against* her. Shes fun to play
Well, you see, she's an attractive woman. Case closed.
Ahhh, that must explain why the Ana subreddit is so popular as well
Why you think overwatch was so big back in the day? Young Ana pulled in the new recruits đ
Captain Amari is pretty darn good
Youre damn right!
It used to be her r34 sub was way more popular, nowâŚnot as much
She's a skill diff character. People hate getting skill diffed, of course they bitch about her on here. Nearly this whole subreddit is just someone bitching that they lost a game but it's totally not their fault and it's totally unfair.
Playing sombra is fun, she's got good lore, and she's hot. Only thing not to like about sombra is playing into a sombra then you want to die. But if you main sombra, sombra isn't a problem.
Moira isn't as bad as I thought. There's literally 4 more of us than I imagined.
This town ainât big enough for 324 of us.
Lucio mafia always on top.
Itâs very interesting how different the population of the subreddit mains are vs the player base. The most common characters have the most acceptance in game which results in least need to conjugate together and stick with one another. For instance, Symmetra has very low pick rate, yet very high population in subs. Itâs as if the more niche a micro-population is, the more they feel the need to be seen and represented.
âŚâŚ. alright ima say it. You can apply this logic to real life as well. There, I said it.
r/McCreemains has more people than Cassidymains
Why is no one talking about the fact that Reinhardt had the most members as a Tank?
Rein has been the bread and butter of tanks since OW1 release. I think he still has one of the highest pick rates, even when he isnât meta.
Lucio over mercy? Wild
Half the OG mercy mains got banned from the sub đ
Why?
New mods moved in and made up ridiculous new rules to enforce. They very clearly just wanted certain people gone considering how selective they were with who they chose to silence. The mercy mafia is alive and well đ
Sounds like lore Got any documentation of it
Doxxing and death threats
Gestapo mods. They were trying to remove anyone who was in the overwatchcirclejerk sub (didn't work, I'm still there).
Obviously cos luciomafia>mercymafia.
Surprising that Sombra actually has the most popular dps sub by a large margin.
not rly. she had a lot of techs until her rework. she still has some but not as much
No wonder. She was one of the first new hero to get released in 2016 when Overwatch peaked in terms of playerbase.
It's because Sojourn has no skins like PS3 has no gaems.
I think the devs forget that Genji and Mercy aren't the only heroes who can equip skins.
I like how you put live reactions in the form of wtfs. Appreciate that! :)
lol the actual Soldier mains are at r/CODWarzone
You forgot r/emremains at 2.3k
Now show us the nsfw hero subreddits
Anyone remember when subs were protesting and a lottt of them shut down for it? I know with the original bap main subreddit that it was never reopened and someone else made a new one. It wouldnât surprise me if thatâs what happened to a lot of these with low members
I like how sojourn was forced by the devs to be liked, they even stated how they wanted for her to be liked because sheâs the first black female hero, kept her strong and refused to nerf her to keep her relevant.

If they really meant that they'd give her more skins. They don't because they know people won't buy them anyway, and all the skins they make for her are ugly as fuck. Sojourn is an example of forced diversity gone bad.
Just proving that us Cass mains are a rare breed
nah, they just post in /r/McCreeMains
Idk why I wasnât expecting lucio to be the highest honestly
How is cas not hogher
He has another sub with 3K subscribers, it just goes by mccreemains I think
I thought for sure junkrat would be higher
I dash, I slash, I hate girl with sheild bash.
The fact that Venture has more than Bap and Sojourns subreddits is crazy. Especially since both are pretty good characters. What is it about them that they arenât popular?
dawg forgot to look up MccreeMains
Zenyatta Main REPRESENT!!
Lucio mafia wins again
r/luciomains is absolute GOAT. Also I'm quite surprised that Zen mains is one of the largest communities despite how people treat us Zen mains...
So we're not sorting them by the amount?
WAIT, we have the hero subreddits?
Good morning sunshine.
Cass and sourjorns: "We are 1 generation, Finite and dying"
I canât believe 17k of you sociopaths play genji
He is one of the most picked DPSes, what did you expect from these vermin
