More low-skill heroes please

[burnmelt]

I'm old and generally bad at shooters. I'd like some more characters based around auto-targeting or at least less shooter centric. McGinnis, Kelvin and Viscous generally suit me. I'm not sure why Viscous isn't listed as good for new players. Seven is Ok-ish.

Possible ideas: Primary gun is AOE such as a flame thrower or melee. More turret heroes, maybe focused more on anti-air or on protecting flanks (short range for door ways). Homing missiles that can be dodged relatively easily. Heroes that buff creeps.

Basically, something for an old person who'll start playing with a controller (once support is added), and still won't be able to land more than one out of every 20 bullets on enemy players.

I'm 100% down for a flame thrower hero. Close range being needed would be a great balance to having to click on heads

A Flame-thrower pyro character would be most welcome, I agree, regardless of skill issue; Burn Everything is a fun tactic. Another thought would be a character that is a summoner, with or without flames. A character that can summon minions and empower a lane with super-minions etc., look at Abathur from Heroes of the Storm! I know there are other posts for a similar character archetype, but I'm tagging onto this post to emphasize the desire for such characters, they're in successful games like HOTS and DOTA.

I get it but i find using a "shotgun" based hero works when im feeling lasy.
but a hero that has only 1 active ability whould be cool (like og wraith king )

I'd def love a stable hero with consistent damage like a flamethrower or winston shock
