Easiest class to play?
So lets say I can't broad side of a barn my situational awareness is not the best and my clicks per minute are a little low. Just not that good at games in general. What class would be the best pick for me in this case?

None of them - every aspect of this game is predicated on situational awareness

Wave Clear Psyker.

Take a Surge Staff, and spam zap everything.

Dude literally said he "cant hit the broad side of a barn," so that means he cannot aim.

No Aiming = No Play Veteran.

Zealot. Literally immortal, allowed to most good range and melee weapons together, restores toughnes by pressing 1 button since 1 lvl, boosted mobility by class settings, not vulnerable to positioning because of ultimate (2 times on lvl 30), allowed to shotgun since 2 lvl (to carry 1-3 defficulties and easy leveling).

Ah. Topic starter cant aim and has low actions per minute. Zealot also, since he has bonuses from taking health damage. On low diffs melee fight may be just light spam.

Zealots, They can easily steamroll a demonhost with a dagger without any help.

I was about to make a case for the Sharpshooter, given how it can ease people in that are used to FPS games, but given the OP's requirements, huh... I'm not sure. If I could pick two out of three of those requirements, then I'd have an easier time with suggesting a class

I'd more recommend playing at lower difficulties more than recommend any given class, given how more forgiving those are.

With a laser rifle you don't need to be a good aim. That plus a good melee and you are set. There is a reason this is the most popular class.

Surge staff psycher. You'll have to be careful not to explode but you can basically stunlock most enemies in front of you.

Sharpshooter is another easier class to play but most times your group will rely on you to take out threats before they can inflict damage like exploding zombies and snipers so you'll have to pay extra attention to all sides, but thankfully due to their special ability, it's not that hard to do that.

The Veteran is quite easily the hardest class to play to maximum efficiency, but also the easiest to do well with - which makes it hard to say. A Veteran has to juggle a lot of things very quickly.

Zealot is more melee oriented, which I would assume suits what you are looking for. The class requires a great deal of situational awareness but has a few tricks up their sleeve that can give you a lot of leeway.

Ogryns are the class I personally despite so I won't comment on them. I find them both boring to play and annoying to play with.

Psyker is fairly similar to the Veteran in that they have to juggle a few things consistently, but you can at least rid yourself of needing to aim by picking the Surge or flame staff.

So in summa: Zealot probably.

Thats because of bleed.

Zealots and Veterans

The former have got very strong close range builds. Some of them feel a bit cheesy.
The latter have got a solid talent tree which synergize well with all sorts of ranged weapons. I'm pretty sure the veteran will remain rock solid no matter what adjustments Fatshark makes.

The reason it's the most popular class is because its the ONLY finished class in the game.

Like, ffs two of the other classes have the exact same ult lmao "Charge."

Perhaps Ogryn? Get a shield (preferably with the toughness recovery blessing) and the Toughness recovery on multiple hit, bleed on heavy attack, and damage reduction when near bleeding enemies feat. I can stand in the middle of a horde on heresy difficulty and feel pretty much immortal even when taking the occasional hit or getting shot at. 26% instant toughness recovery per shield swing feels great lol

Zealot with any cleave weapon and flamethrower followed by Psyker with any AoE/CC staff.
