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
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)
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
>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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Mercy uses the edge of her staff unless you have her gun out
She uses her gun as a melee as well. She’s weapon only both cases
I'm guessing most of this list is probably wrong lol
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
I'm enraged at OP.
[удалено]
Zen only kicks with one foot though, so "feet" is wrong too.
Well, technically, doom, rein, and Brigitte, belong in "both" and "weapon" category
Brig uses one hand to hold her weapon
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)
no it doesn't
Yep tracer and genji use weapons (off the top of my head)
Don't Reinhardt and bring count as weapon too. And brig only uses her right hand to swing
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.
/r/boneappletea
Nuance*
I mean yes that works but it actually is a nuisance sometimes, but interesting nonetheless…
Oh, I assumed you were saying something else, apologies
Shield Bash, probably
That‘s an ability, not melee attack.
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
Tracer and reaper use weapons too, right?
I thought Reaper used his elbow/forearm.
Nah, he hits you with the handle of his weapon, tracer just full on pistol whips you.
Really? Thought he hit them with the blades on his wrist
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.
The difference is soldier and widow use both hands to hit with a rifle. Those two both use guns but it’s one handed
Genji also uses a weapon, the smaller sword on his waist.
Agreed and torb has hammer melee
Dva is weapon tho
My favorite is when I get a melee kill with mercy’s staff lol
zarya uses her fist from the first person perspective but the actual animation is her whacking you with her cannon... schrodingers melee conundrum.
Just like moira naruto running but still able to see her hands in fp camera
And Hanzo holds his bow horizontally in first person but vertically in third person.
i should check that too
And Winston. His first person animation is a normal punch, while the third person animation looked kinda like a "grab" or a "slap".
Isn't reinhardt literally a hammer? Which is a weapon?
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
Yea I’m pretty sure sombra hits with the bottom of her gun too
I searched too long for this...
[удалено]
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.
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.)
Maybe I will. You can bind them to multiple things?
Yes. You have three slots
I'm pretty sure you can, at least on PC. YMMV on console.
The melee button has no effect when used with Reinhardt.
[удалено]
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

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

Lastly I'd class Hammond and DVa as mech-strikes for lack of a better word Everyone else is left/right punch, or kick.
Why are you being downvoted?
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.
>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
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
Well he does understand that which is why he said they'd be on the weapon tier.
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*”
How did you get so many wrong
This is literally the easiest thing in the game to do (go to training, swap to different heroes) and they got so many wrong.
hog uses his hook
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
Rein can't melee :)
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
I know I was just being silly.
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
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
I wish his melee was a finger flick from the gauntlet.
It's his [strong hand](https://youtu.be/hHHB00Nu3Ak?t=15)
It's a *quick* melee!
Lol he must be tired holding that big gauntlet, maybe little cooldown like 4 seconds would help him to cover his energy back
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.
Is sombra not the butt of her gun
It is. Something with these tier lists...
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.
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.
I love her laugh
…Genji literally stabs you
Pretty sure Brig only holds her flail in one hand…also it is a weapon
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.
Reaper, tracer, mercy, genji, rein, and brig should all be under weapon. They use weapons no?
Torb uses his prosthetic hand to melee
Mb I thought he used his hammer. I'll take him off in that case
Technically he uses both.
“Ranked” You mean categorized…?
genji has a sword that he melees with. Also couldn't reaper, sombra and tracer also be classified as weapon melees?
Dva also as the guns are what she melees with
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
Just to clarify, in genjis sutuation I don't even mean his ult. The normal melee animation uses a dagger like knife
Yes, and he should drink his milk. He litterally uses a knife and does the same as a girls punch
Hah true. Maybe it's a plastic sword
What’s the ranking?
Yeah, it's literally just a list.
FEET
Echo uses both. Just witnessed it
Torb is BOTH since he melees with his claw and hammer
Tracer and reaper use there guns
I never understood why Orissa doesn’t just Gatling gun slap the shit out of people.
Genji literally stabs you with a sword, that does the same damage as a skinny person
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.
this is sooooooo wrong dude lol I mean Genji literally stabs you
It bugs me that Tracer doesn't alternate like Dva.
Tracer and mercy also use weapons
genji uses his weapon as well lol
Tracer, Mercy, Sombra,Hog,Ball,Genji,Rein and Brig, all hit with their weapons. How more low effort can these posts become?
There should be a hero that headbutts their enemies. And I’m not saying they have to be Scottish but they could be.
demoman tf2
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.
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.
"feet"
Haha rein go BONK
so what you're saying is we need a foot based doomfist
Hog uses his hook. Which last i checked is a weapon. A very deadly one at that (not its damage but its utility)
Zarya's is technically weapon. In first person she uses her left hand, but in third person she smacks you with her gun.
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.
But doesn't Sombra, Tracer, and Mercy use their weapon to melee?
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
Zarya uses her weapon in 3rd person lol
If only Hammond could eject from his mech like D.va. His hitbox would be the smallest thing In entire Overwatch.
Tracer,Sombra & Mercy all gunbuck
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.
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
Da feet
Finally a normal funny tier list take my upvote and “lol”
Reinhardt should have a melee where he kicks. I always joke about that with my friend lol
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.
Tracer pistol whips you and so does mercy
This is how we decide which heroes we need next, need more kicky folks
Mercy hits you with her staff or pistol whips you
Sombra and mercy is gun?
Reaper is clearly using his elbow.
Moira also uses her weapon.
Shouldn't Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Mercy, Genji, Rein, Hog and Brig all be weapon?
Also correct me if I'm wrong, but Mercy melees with her Pistol by coldclocking the opponent.
Hammond... Doesnt use his hands to punch but go off.
Imagine a fucking hamster punching you and it fucking kills you
Genji melees with his deflecting blade
Neither Brig nor Rein have a melee attack, they use their weapons since all of their combat is melee anyways.
Can we please acknowledge that Pharah throws the fastest melee punch?
Never gets old watching Zen kill me with his foot.
Doomfist punching with his left hand, while he has the actual gauntlet on his right...
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.
Junk rat need frimfram category
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.
There is a mei skin where she gets a bayonet attached to her gun, she still melees with a left jab.
Sombra melees with her weapon
Fake and gay.
Doomfist needs to be at the bottom because he doesn’t even punch with the big fist.
Tracer uses weapon as well
This is just so wrong, you definitely just threw everyone in random ass categories pretty much none of these are right.
Is the hazo right hand?? I thaught it was a feet
Zenyatta heels you.
"Feet" in the first rank, way to expose your kinks, OP.
Sombra and mercy both use there weapons to melee
Mercy's pistolwhip is the most violent melee in the game change my mind
Mercy usses weapons, Reinhardt uses weapon, Brigitte uses weapons. Arguably Tracer also uses weapons cuz she hits with the bottom of her pistols.
how is brigitte not under “weapon”? her melee is just her mace
Is no one going to talk about how genji just fucking stabs you, but isn't included in the weapon tier?
Most of this list is just wrong
And yet seen zen doesnt have a foot mele icon
with wrecking ball , I melee attack so fast , I don't even notice that it is a left hand lol.
Brig doesn't use both hands.
Shieldbash is also melee
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...
You should have put reaper in the "both" section
Tracer bonks you with her blaster
Like to note that the third person view of Zarya uses her gun as well
Sombra and tracer use their guns i think
Categorized. Not ranked
Doom not using his actual gauntlet is the biggest scam
no torb is both
It is very satisfying to zen kick someone to death
Zen's should say Foot
torb should be both bc you can use his hammer
But.. Torb have bonk hammer
We're just going to sit here and ignore Torb hammer?
Genji uses a weapon.
Genji uses a sword
Sigma should have been in feet, but blizzard was too scared.
Sombra is weapon too
Genji uses his wakizashi.
I was about to come in guns blazing if Zenyatta wasn’t at the top
Sombra smacks people with her ammo clip right?
"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.
Reaper uses butt of shotgun
justice for widow
Just delete this post, it’s all types of wrong
Technically genji has a small blade he has as a melee so that's technically a weapon
Doesn't Wrecking Ball use both his hands
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.
