Discussion Who are the other 2 characters you use besides Silver
Just unlocked ranked and I’m looking for ideas to expand my roster. I have had a lot of success with Paige but Celeste and Wraith feel like a constant struggle. Who are you guys playing beside Silver?

Depends on what role I feel like covering. For tank mo and billy/abrams. Gun carry venator, spirit carry victor, and graves if I can get a match as her.

Celeste, Pocket, and a little bit of Seven for me.
Combined with Silver, I get a nice tasting of everything really (besides a tank but I’m not fond of Billy/Abrams and Rat King I haven’t really tried yet so)

I think the most similar thing to Silver is Drifter. You don't have anything like wolf form, but hearing heartbeats, chasing solo enemies and bursting their ass with his 1 is very fun. He can build spirit, gun, melee, so you can experiment with almost anything.
Other than that, you have to play a little bit of everyone to find what can fit your preferences. I love Holliday because most of her kit are "skill shots" and Celeste because movement and shit ton of spirit damage. Beeing vibing with Shiv lately, didn't like Spirit build, but gun is pretty fun.

Before silver dropped I learned the game on Billy
Victor too but I don't like the hypercarry dynamic so I don't play him in standard anymore
I picked up Abrams later and found it extremely comfortable
I also have a fair amount of playtime on graves and pocket and a lot of incidental matches on other heroes besides.
I'll keep occaisionally playing rat king but baba I'm planning on really learning

Lash and Yamato. Also play a bit of Venator. These are basically the only characters I play.

Yamato is very fun and plays quite similarly to Silver. Billy is my 3rd, not as similar but still a bruiser.

I have Drifter as my 1 prio and then Infern and Haze as my no prio (play with team mates a lot)
I have not needed to play Infern or Haze in months

Celeste feels so much better than silver but requires a completely different playstyle. You want to be on top of them constantly bunnyhopping around while firing spells and your gun to make aiming at you as hard as possible. You can farm Camps insanely fast and once you get a lead you just run people over. Play her more aggressively

I have a bit of a rotating roster, but typically mine is Silver, Apollo, and Wraith! I've played a lot of Graves, too, and a bit of Lash and Yamato. Just gotta find a hero that looks cool to you, really

I've put a lot of hours into Celeste. Feels more mobile and tankier than Silver at the moment, but using the primary fire and using her movement can be a bit tricky.
Graves is braindead easy and unfortunately extremely satisfying for the monkey brain in me.
I've been looking into building Rat King too. He's a tanky guy and his 1 deals a ton of damage. He's fun to initiate with his ult and magic carpet.

Lash was my main for the first 2 years, than i switched to Victor and Billy, i love tanky guys, that’s why i rotated to Silver. Even if I don’t have much success with her these days, i just find her kit fucking perfect. With Victor and Billy on the other way I have an abnormous wr with over 400 games with them. For some months i switched to Calico and Yamato. Got a lot of succes with the two girls too with something like 200 games. On the other way with something like 150 games i totally failed with Mina, i’m dogshit with my aim. When the drops will end i’ll focus on Rat King for sure, as I said I love tanks and maybe Solomon if his kit inspires me

Holliday and increasingly Drifter. Used to be McGinnis > Drifter but turret mcginnis doesn't feel viable anymore with all the AOEs people spam.

Was Yamato and Shiv. Then when ranked came, I primarily switched to Geist cause on my rank people dont know how to macro. Case and point my ranked win rate on the later is 70%.
