YOUR BENCH, ON TRIAL
Pick 2–4 heroes from one role. We compare their listed Counters, show where a swap covers another pick's weakness, and find your next heroes to learn.
THE VERDICT · DAMAGE
A workable bench. A few matchups can still box you in.
Your score balances listed matchup coverage with the benchmark across 2–4 heroes in your role. It measures your options, not your skill.

AshePressures SymmetraExposedStrong ranged hitscan pressure punishes Symmetra whenever they expose themselves in open sightlines.

D.MonPressures SymmetraExposedMobile frontline pressure and a frontal barrier let D.Mon contest Symmetra's space without giving them easy angles.
Don't trade into D.Mon's barrier. Place your turrets off its angle and wait for your team to break it.
Our counter guide does not recommend Cassidy / Symmetra against D.Mon. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

HanzoPressures CassidyExposedLong-range burst and sightline pressure punish Cassidy whenever they expose predictable movement.
Avoid long sightlines where Hanzo can pre-aim. Fight at mid range with cover close by and reposition after each pick attempt.
Our counter guide does not recommend Cassidy / Symmetra against Hanzo. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

MoiraPressures SymmetraExposedReliable close-range damage and Fade make Moira difficult for Symmetra to isolate or finish cleanly.
Don't chase Moira after Fade. Focus targets that can't escape your beam, and back off if she outlasts you.

GenjiYour swap: SymmetraSituationalDeflect, mobility and burst let Genji challenge Cassidy's pressure and punish isolated positioning.
Don't fire into Deflect. Wait it out, then punish, and keep Combat Roll to survive his dive rather than chasing him.
Crowd control and peel punish Genji's engage and make clean escapes much harder.
D.VaYour swap: SymmetraSituationalDefense Matrix denies key ranged pressure while Boosters let D.Va force Cassidy out of position.
Don't shoot into Defense Matrix. Wait for it to drop, and keep Combat Roll for when D.Va boosts onto you.
High close-range pressure punishes D.Va for committing into the team and makes extended dives expensive.
PharahYour swap: CassidySituationalVertical pressure keeps Pharah outside Symmetra's preferred range and forces them to fight on unfavorable angles.
You can't pressure Pharah from the ground. Place turrets where she flies and stay under cover.
Reliable hitscan pressure punishes Pharah in the air and sharply limits safe flight angles.
Covered means a Strong listed counter. Situational means a Good or Situational partial answer. Exposed means this enemy pressures a pick but no counter is listed in your pool. Unlisted matchups stay unknown.

HOW THE COURT SCORES IT
Hero Pool Score: practical matchup coverage, balanced against every 2-, 3- and 4-hero pool in your role. Each size gets equal weight. The score combines that standing with your actual coverage, so being a great pair does not hide big gaps. It is a matchup guide, not a promise of wins. Season 5 includes conditional kit inferences for new and reworked heroes; this percentile compares the listed graph, not observed match results.
Coverage: Strong threats count for 1 point, Good for ½ and Situational for ¼. Your best listed answer covers all, half or a quarter of a threat respectively. Conditional answers help, but do not erase a weakness. Shared threats count for each hero they pressure.
Among pools your size: the secondary percentile shows how efficiently you use your slots. Top 10% means your coverage beats roughly nine out of ten pools with the same role and number of heroes. Ties share a rank.
Next heroes: the first option brings the largest useful gain against your current threats. The second offers different coverage. Each must also improve the coverage rate of the resulting pool, including its new weaknesses. With four picks, we test replacements and name the hero to swap out. Options are alternatives, not a promise that both belong in the same pool.
Map, execution and team composition still matter. Missing matchups are unknown, not proof of safety.
