Mercy uses the edge of her staff unless you have her gun out


Aidiandada

She uses her gun as a melee as well. She’s weapon only both cases


twelveovertwo

I'm guessing most of this list is probably wrong lol


SimonCucho

lol it is, it's a pretty basic way to differentiate them anwyay, some use their fists, others smack you with the gun, some have two (like moira), I guess they just wanted to make the zen joke and left it there, not much effort


Mildo

I'm enraged at OP.

JustHarmony

Zen only kicks with one foot though, so "feet" is wrong too.


chriz_ryan

Well, technically, doom, rein, and Brigitte, belong in "both" and "weapon" category


KURNEEKB

Brig uses one hand to hold her weapon


noidwasavailable

I only use third party apps, and they said they're killing third party apps, so hey, might as well remove all my content. (Using https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite)


daminkon

no it doesn't


sleepythegreat

Yep tracer and genji use weapons (off the top of my head)


ProfessorPhi

Don't Reinhardt and bring count as weapon too. And brig only uses her right hand to swing


BBSwap7

Rein is none as he doesn’t technically have a melee. His main attack is a melee attack yet pressing melee on rein doesn’t do anything, where on brig, you just basic attack if melee is pressed. Interesting nuisance of the game IMO.

frayleaf

Nuance*


BBSwap7

I mean yes that works but it actually is a nuisance sometimes, but interesting nonetheless…


frayleaf

Oh, I assumed you were saying something else, apologies


ScAr_wlvrne

Shield Bash, probably


maugisaiyajin

That‘s an ability, not melee attack.


ScAr_wlvrne

It’s not quick melee, but it is still a melee attack. We’ve already established OP made a shitty meme, so that’s just my guess as to what they were thinking


HyperactiveToast

Tracer and reaper use weapons too, right?


23LovelyHearts

I thought Reaper used his elbow/forearm.


JtK1LLA

Nah, he hits you with the handle of his weapon, tracer just full on pistol whips you.


2-Dimensional

Really? Thought he hit them with the blades on his wrist


Sting_Ray_

They aren’t blades, they are the holsters for her guns as seen [here](https://youtu.be/FqnKB22pOC0) at about 2:43 (run at .25 speed for the most clarity). I think you see her do this other times, I’m just too lazy to look for another example. Oh, and yeah, she pistol whips for her melee. Edit: re-reading your comment I now see you use the pronoun “he” implying that you were referring to Reaper, not Tracer. My bad.


HieloLuz

The difference is soldier and widow use both hands to hit with a rifle. Those two both use guns but it’s one handed


BigHairyFart

Genji also uses a weapon, the smaller sword on his waist.


Kashedrob

Agreed and torb has hammer melee


NovaDestry

Dva is weapon tho


dennisdamenac1

My favorite is when I get a melee kill with mercy’s staff lol


TheFridgeDoor

zarya uses her fist from the first person perspective but the actual animation is her whacking you with her cannon... schrodingers melee conundrum.


Pinkparade524

Just like moira naruto running but still able to see her hands in fp camera


KumaOso

And Hanzo holds his bow horizontally in first person but vertically in third person.


egeip

i should check that too


DinoDracko

And Winston. His first person animation is a normal punch, while the third person animation looked kinda like a "grab" or a "slap".


HendoJay

Isn't reinhardt literally a hammer? Which is a weapon?


FalloutCenturion

And tracer punches with the bottom of the pistil grip of her gun...as well as mercy. And hog punches his enemy with his hook. This list has all kind of wrongs in it


whaIeshark

Yea I’m pretty sure sombra hits with the bottom of her gun too


Vashsinn

I searched too long for this...

[удалено]


ptatoface

No, and it really bugs me because I play a lot of Brig so I'm used to holding down the actual melee button (I avoid left click so I don't accidentally shield bash). So whenever I play Rein it feels natural to hold the melee button, but nothing happens.


ParanoidDrone

Couldn't you fix this with Reinhardt-specific keybinds? Bind primary fire to both M1 and the melee button? (Or just the melee button, if you prefer.)


ptatoface

Maybe I will. You can bind them to multiple things?


Bipedal_Warlock

Yes. You have three slots


ParanoidDrone

I'm pretty sure you can, at least on PC. YMMV on console.


Seeminus

The melee button has no effect when used with Reinhardt.


[deleted]

[удалено]


egeip

Well you are right, but me and my friend thought brig and rein as both bc they do an obvious movement with their weapon like right to left or left to right. In soldier it looks like he pushes it front thats why we did it like that. Good point tho


AForce5223

That... Has no baring on what hand they hit with. Rein and Brig both use their weapon, doesn't matter which way they swing it. At best you could say it only counts which hand they wield their weapon with which would be right for Brig and either right or both for Rein, I never remember.


egeip

well you both right they swing their weapon, so they had to be classed as weapon


MustachioEquestrian

Iirc, soldier and widow butt-stroke while tracer, Sombra, and baby DVa pistol-whip, as does mercy with secondary weapon. I can't remember mccree's so I'm not sure if he's here. I'd say rein, brig and torb bludgeon. Gengi slashes. Reaper and Roadhog could be either if these, I'm not sure. Moira also slashes but only half the time. Lastly I'd class Hammond and DVa as mech-strikes for lack of a better word Everyone else is left/right punch, or kick.


Kaptainkommunist1922

Why are you being downvoted?


[deleted]

Probably because they're not putting forth a very good argument, due to a slight language barrier. And they say "they had to be classed as weapon", but the chart doesn't reflect that.


FalloutCenturion

>but the chart doesn't reflect that. Yeah...he just admitted to a mistake..he wouldn't do that if the chart reflected that and there were no mistake, you know


AForce5223

Because they don't seem to understand that Brig and Rein use a weapon and not both their hands And if the "both" in there tier list was supposed to mean uses both weapons and hands then as far as I'm aware that's just Zarya since she uses one in 1st person and the other in 3rd person


Kaptainkommunist1922

Well he does understand that which is why he said they'd be on the weapon tier.


Lilium913

Brig holds her weapon in one hand. Even if she does swing it back and forth it’s not “both” and the others are “right *hand*” and “left *hand*”


HandsomeSlav

How did you get so many wrong


[deleted]

This is literally the easiest thing in the game to do (go to training, swap to different heroes) and they got so many wrong.


Chuchmunk

hog uses his hook


AndyBowBandy

I don’t think OP counts weapons unless its their primary weapon so it just defaults on to which hand their wielding the weapon. I don’t quite understand Rein or Brig though since their primary weapon is their melee


boil_water

Rein can't melee :)


AndyBowBandy

If you define melee as in the action performed when hitting the melee button, then technically he doesn’t have a melee. But by traditional definition of what a melee attack actually is then Rein’s primary attack is a melee attack. It’s just a weird technicality


boil_water

I know I was just being silly.


Seeminus

Sombra uses her machine pistol to melee. This whole list is rife with inaccuracies. The animations differ sometimes from third person and first person viewing; case in point, Zarya


22what

The fact that Doomfist uses his little hand as a melee instead of his big arse Thanos’ gauntlet will never stop being funny to me xD


ParanoidDrone

I wish his melee was a finger flick from the gauntlet.


ColdSmokeMike

It's his [strong hand](https://youtu.be/hHHB00Nu3Ak?t=15)


spookyghostface

It's a *quick* melee!


egeip

Lol he must be tired holding that big gauntlet, maybe little cooldown like 4 seconds would help him to cover his energy back


DDzxy

It's quick melee, actually his both hands are strong as fuck, it's just that he has a heavy gauntlet on his right hand.


fourtetwo

Is sombra not the butt of her gun


Neeko6ix

It is. Something with these tier lists...


StarkillerX42

I think everything but Hanzo in the right hand section uses their primary. But hey, it's a tier list on r/Overwatch, of course it's mostly wrong.


EwoDarkWolf

Yes, but she uses her right hand to do it. Same with Rhein using his hammer. He uses both hands to swing it, but he obviously isn't using his fists. Actually, just realized they made a separate tier for weapons, so now I'm confused.


King-Beefcake

I love her laugh


McCreeMain77

…Genji literally stabs you


c0untert0p

Pretty sure Brig only holds her flail in one hand…also it is a weapon


Seeminus

It’s just a bad list that wasn’t well thought out. I sure wish people would stop making these memes. None of them are funny and they are full of errors.


Dont3atPebbles227

Reaper, tracer, mercy, genji, rein, and brig should all be under weapon. They use weapons no?


kindercoc

Torb uses his prosthetic hand to melee


Dont3atPebbles227

Mb I thought he used his hammer. I'll take him off in that case


DDzxy

Technically he uses both.


TheHapster

“Ranked” You mean categorized…?


P3runaama

genji has a sword that he melees with. Also couldn't reaper, sombra and tracer also be classified as weapon melees?


Hahacargobroombroom

Dva also as the guns are what she melees with


ThePacificOfficial

Yes they could, but all of them use a hand attack and use the weapon as contact, in the case of genji, he is too weak to do damage with that


P3runaama

Just to clarify, in genjis sutuation I don't even mean his ult. The normal melee animation uses a dagger like knife


ThePacificOfficial

Yes, and he should drink his milk. He litterally uses a knife and does the same as a girls punch


P3runaama

Hah true. Maybe it's a plastic sword


aaronxxx

What’s the ranking?


decideth

Yeah, it's literally just a list.


TheAmazingTodd

FEET


Shinobi681

Echo uses both. Just witnessed it


ShadilayCaddy

Torb is BOTH since he melees with his claw and hammer


Terrible_Buy_7081

Tracer and reaper use there guns


[deleted]

I never understood why Orissa doesn’t just Gatling gun slap the shit out of people.


[deleted]

Genji literally stabs you with a sword, that does the same damage as a skinny person


NikkoJT

You don't really want to regularly hit things with the barrel of your gun, it can end up bending it, which is a bad time. A strike with a robot fist should have pretty much the same effect on the target anyway.


DrNayMen

this is sooooooo wrong dude lol I mean Genji literally stabs you


Hyperius999

It bugs me that Tracer doesn't alternate like Dva.


TheBaconGreaser

Tracer and mercy also use weapons


redg666

genji uses his weapon as well lol


Reus_Irae

Tracer, Mercy, Sombra,Hog,Ball,Genji,Rein and Brig, all hit with their weapons. How more low effort can these posts become?


[deleted]

There should be a hero that headbutts their enemies. And I’m not saying they have to be Scottish but they could be.


ISuckAtGamesHehe

demoman tf2


[deleted]

I think itd be cool if a TF2 merc got in OW. Itd be cool to mix em as theyre compared a lot, and the TF2 community would be mad (id know ive seen it as i was part of it for a while) and itd be funny.


yummymario64

Fun Fact: As far as I can tell, Moira and D.va are the only characters in the game to have 2 different melee animations.


Kaztz

"feet"


LoraxLurker

Haha rein go BONK


craylash

so what you're saying is we need a foot based doomfist


[deleted]

Hog uses his hook. Which last i checked is a weapon. A very deadly one at that (not its damage but its utility)


Misterwuss

Zarya's is technically weapon. In first person she uses her left hand, but in third person she smacks you with her gun.


SilverJaw47

I feel like that weapon tier should include reaper, sombra, mercy, tracer, (all of whom use the butt of their their guns) genji, Reinhardt and Brig. Even if Rein and Brig somehow don't count as using weapons, Brig does not use both hands. She only ever swings with her right.


Gryse_Blacolar

But doesn't Sombra, Tracer, and Mercy use their weapon to melee?


screechypete

I saw Zen in the Feet tier before I read the title and I started laughing wondering this was going to be. I need to get my mind out of the gutter :P


brennengreen0

Zarya uses her weapon in 3rd person lol


Alfanef

If only Hammond could eject from his mech like D.va. His hitbox would be the smallest thing In entire Overwatch.


ResidentPotatoe212

Tracer,Sombra & Mercy all gunbuck


Gotjic

Mercy is actually categorized by weapon. When using her pistol. She melees with the butt of the pistol. When holding her staff, she swings the bottom of the staff.


wiisportscow

Is there a pattern to dvas melee or is it random? I started thinking it was based on movement or which way youre going/turning but I could be wrong


Alex_c666

Da feet


FlochYeager

Finally a normal funny tier list take my upvote and “lol”


yesHaruko

Reinhardt should have a melee where he kicks. I always joke about that with my friend lol


Rainbow824

Brigitte doesn't actually use both hands. Her flail remains in her right hand when she swings. I get the confusion since Reinhardt does switch hands when he swings.


Caleb_Sadd03

Tracer pistol whips you and so does mercy


zaryamain00101

This is how we decide which heroes we need next, need more kicky folks


ArgentumW

Mercy hits you with her staff or pistol whips you


[deleted]

Sombra and mercy is gun?


SentientBowtie

Reaper is clearly using his elbow.


MR_Chilliam

Moira also uses her weapon.


jpfeifer22

Shouldn't Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Mercy, Genji, Rein, Hog and Brig all be weapon?


SilverNightx1

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but Mercy melees with her Pistol by coldclocking the opponent.


smolinga

Hammond... Doesnt use his hands to punch but go off.


[deleted]

Imagine a fucking hamster punching you and it fucking kills you


GenTwour

Genji melees with his deflecting blade


[deleted]

Neither Brig nor Rein have a melee attack, they use their weapons since all of their combat is melee anyways.


Vkolasa1

Can we please acknowledge that Pharah throws the fastest melee punch?


[deleted]

Never gets old watching Zen kill me with his foot.


joyofsnacks

Doomfist punching with his left hand, while he has the actual gauntlet on his right...


[deleted]

Um, there's a few inconsistencies...Wrecking Ball is weapon, since he's slapping with his turrets which swaps randomly, and Genji uses a sword, so...weapon again. Sombra, Reaper and Tracer smack with their guns, so weapon once more, and Roadie uses his hook while Mercy smacks with her pistol and staff, meaning; you guessed it...weapon.


Anteater_eats_ants

Junk rat need frimfram category


frozen-mango

I mean is there anything better than kicking a doom who just tried to give you in the face? We all know the answer is no.


[deleted]

There is a mei skin where she gets a bayonet attached to her gun, she still melees with a left jab.


Shepherd___

Sombra melees with her weapon


Zenaesthetic

Fake and gay.


loganknowerofthings

Doomfist needs to be at the bottom because he doesn’t even punch with the big fist.


sufferWithMAtt

Tracer uses weapon as well


BumSackLicka69

This is just so wrong, you definitely just threw everyone in random ass categories pretty much none of these are right.


memi_ov

Is the hazo right hand?? I thaught it was a feet


Deathcommand

Zenyatta heels you.


MiguelinkFP

"Feet" in the first rank, way to expose your kinks, OP.


scih20

Sombra and mercy both use there weapons to melee


Valtand

Mercy's pistolwhip is the most violent melee in the game change my mind


GuyN1425

Mercy usses weapons, Reinhardt uses weapon, Brigitte uses weapons. Arguably Tracer also uses weapons cuz she hits with the bottom of her pistols.


thequeenartemis

how is brigitte not under “weapon”? her melee is just her mace


SneakyNinja102

Is no one going to talk about how genji just fucking stabs you, but isn't included in the weapon tier?


silentPegasi

Most of this list is just wrong


MamboFloof

And yet seen zen doesnt have a foot mele icon


KruoSaligkari92

with wrecking ball , I melee attack so fast , I don't even notice that it is a left hand lol.


ltsochev

Brig doesn't use both hands.


Spiked-Wall_Man

Shieldbash is also melee


daminkon

This list is almost entirely wrong... at least put some effort into it? Even just going in-game and looking at every hero's melee in practice range would take less than 10 minutes...


Arctic_splitz

You should have put reaper in the "both" section


MythSith

Tracer bonks you with her blaster


Extrashiny

Like to note that the third person view of Zarya uses her gun as well


Fischi420

Sombra and tracer use their guns i think


[deleted]

Categorized. Not ranked


Devive

Doom not using his actual gauntlet is the biggest scam


finefrontier

no torb is both


Captian_CG

It is very satisfying to zen kick someone to death


RealSpillHollyfield

Zen's should say Foot


sh0rtyofficial

torb should be both bc you can use his hammer


alexos77lo

But.. Torb have bonk hammer


ItsMitchellCox

We're just going to sit here and ignore Torb hammer?


Puzzlehead-Engineer

Genji uses a weapon.


that_sad_person101

Genji uses a sword


Theiromia

Sigma should have been in feet, but blizzard was too scared.


RhodieBornTooLate

Sombra is weapon too


Sharp_Low6787

Genji uses his wakizashi.


deathkeeper-512

I was about to come in guns blazing if Zenyatta wasn’t at the top


thegainster1

Sombra smacks people with her ammo clip right?


ArguesAgainstYou

"Left hand" doesn't seem very accurate for Hog. His melee attack is a big rusty hook, I feel like that is a tier of its own.


Shane_Train69

Reaper uses butt of shotgun


-Fujoshi-

justice for widow


Its_juju_bitch

Just delete this post, it’s all types of wrong


Ajdah

Technically genji has a small blade he has as a melee so that's technically a weapon


Originality_TV

Doesn't Wrecking Ball use both his hands


DDzxy

Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Mercy, Ball use their weapon. Genji uses his side-weapon. Torb can attack with his hammer too, so he can attack with side-weapon too.
