I want to be good at dps

[Anime-Profile-Picture]

But I can't aim and I can't combo fast enough or under pressure with melee characters. Who should I play? (Other than scarlet witch, I get more kills with mantis)
I used to main reaper. Punisher's shotty is similar but he just doesn't have the same survivability reaper did, slower fire rate too.

Moon Knight - High splash damage, perfect for groups of enemies.
Star Lord - High fire rate, decent damage, fast reload, ultimate has aimbot, perfect for people who can't aim (lol).
Namor - Infinite ammo (left click), Squid turrets has aimbot. Spam left click until you hit something (lol).
Hawkeye - Miss 10 shots but hit 1 headshot instakill (easy mode).
Hela - Spam left click until your team wins.

If you like to camp at the rear position; Moon Knight, Namor, Hawkeye, Hela.

Just saying that Moon Knight is not good to recommend for someone who "wants to get good" because he is.... easily countered. Shooting his ankhs is normal in even just Gold Rank play and if you don't have ankhs, unless you're fighting Loki Moon Knight requires solid aim to play.

Problems all of them aside from Dagger require good aim.

I actually do get decent damage with Mantis, often third best dps in a match over other actual dps. But it's all assists. I get that the final blow isn't the most important thing but my dopamine levels are flagging here.

Moonlight easily countered. Psylock requires aim and combos, by the way.

Yeah she absolutely does that's what I thought. I've enjoyed her at very low level quickplays on occasion, complete brainlets.

Nah you gotta aim good with star lord. The ult is insane but the rest of the time I'm lucky to hit a 5th of his magazine.

I appreciate people here are actually making real suggestions and not flaming me thank you.

You need aim to hit your shots with Mantis, though. Assists don't count damage. Just put your healing seed on someone and you will get assists.

If you claim you are doing damage with Mantis you are hitting your targets and that requires aim.

She doesn't require combos lol. She only has primary attack and one secondary attack.

You can't kill quickly with just primary fire. You need to combo it with right click and dash and even melee. If you're not playing Psylocke that way you are not using her to her full potential.

Might as well just play Adam Warlock if you're just shooting primary fire.

I mean I get the odd hit here and there which then contributes to a kill. I guess assist isn't the right word, a KO right? Its like, 20 kos to 7 actual final blows. Just doesn't hit the same.

I can't aim for sh*t so I play scarlet witch, who has high dps as long as you can hit your chaos bolts which is fairly easy because she's close range, venom, penni parker, jeff, and groot. Sometimes I can do pretty decent with hawkeye surprisingly but it depends on who i'm going against. If there are close range enemies then i'm done for.

Situational awareness is as important as skill as well. There are many a game where a DPS ranged character can find a niche angle of attack outside of the blob of characters engaging one another at a obj point and wipe out an enemy team. The hardest angle people barely pay attention to during a clumped up fight is UP. As a tank, I'm usually melted by DPS shooting at me from higher elevations that I did not expect.

But that's just me and being level 7 with lack of map awareness.

to disregard aiming, look for fast attack and consistency heroes. Hulk is a good example, you can miss a punch and continue throwing the next one without reloading. While Venom and Dr strange have slower attack which ended up needing to aim. And the polar opposite of a sniper with delayed charged shot that causes more significance when miss.

Ah you mean the Kill that is not a Final Hit, gotcha. Yeah, Assist isn't the right word as an Assist is different.

Final blows definitely feel nicer because you're the one who nailed the coffin in, but contributing to a kill is nothing to scoff at. Getting "High Damage" is more important as that'st he amount of damage you dealt to enemies, so it wasn't just one random hit. Anyone can get the lucky last shot or just plain kill steal but dealing a lot of damage to get enemies to a critical state is a big deal.

The secret to doing well in shooters like this as a DPS is actually attacking from weird angles. It's the punch you didn't see that KO's you.

Jeff for instance his damage is meh but you can get weird angles on enemies thanks to your mobility and you can finish them off before they even realize you're shooting at them.
