Overwatch’s success is based on how well you know every weapon, character, map, and game mode, just as in many other competitive games.

Unlike other first-person shooters, Overwatch focuses on teamwork and hero skills, notably the “synergy” of various heroes working together to defeat the enemy.

For novice players who haven’t put in the practice hours required to learn a particular hero or role in Overwatch, this can make it more difficult to get started in the game.

The most important Overwatch tips and tactics for newbies are here to assist you get over any initial hiccups.

Each character’s purpose and the best ways to succeed in Overwatch will become clearer as you progress.

Learn How To Play Each Role

Overwatch presently features 32 characters, each of which falls into one of three categories: tank, damage, or support.

It’s possible to further segment them based on the way they play and their specific talents into even more specific subcategories.

Listed below is an overview of each role and the heroes that go along with it. We’ve also assigned an Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty rating for those just starting out.

Tank

It’s easy to spot a tank because of how big they are and how much damage they can take before they run out of health.

Squishier heroes, such healers and close-range damage dealers, are protected by establishing distance, taking the brunt of the damage themselves, and killing those who represent a danger.

While Reinhardt’s shield is a real one, most tanks have skills that allow them to protect their allies from harm, while others focus on putting distance between themselves and their opponents.

The finest tanks in the game can take a lot of damage, but even they can’t go far without the support of a healer or damage hero.

  • Reinhardt (Easy)
  • Tow-Horse (Easy)
  • Theodore “D.Va” (Medium)
  • Orisa is the name of the goddess (Medium)
  • Winston Churchill’s (Medium)
  • In the Greek letter (Hard)
  • Demolition Tool (Hard)
  • As you may have surmised, Zarya (Hard)

Damage

With lower healthpools, better mobility, and more offensive skills than other roles in Overwatch, damage heroes are the most sought-after.

As a damage hero, your primary goal is to take out opposing players with your primary weapon and your special skills.

Position yourself in an area that is safe but accessible to both your teammates and foes, as damage heroes are much more fragile than tanks.

Although damage hero abilities (such as Sombra’s hacks and Mei’s ice wall) have a fair lot of variety, they may sometimes feel a little one-note, with little more to offer beyond kills.

  • A fortification (Easy)
  • Insignia of the 76th Regiment (Easy)
  • I am Pharaoh, your name is (Easy)
  • The reaper (Easy)
  • Her name is Ashe (Medium)
  • a scavenger (Medium)
  • To put it another way, McCree (Medium)
  • the Greek letter, symmetra (Medium)
  • Torbjorn (Medium)
  • Trace (Medium)
  • Wife-to-be (Medium)
  • Wormtooth (Hard)
  • Genji () (Hard)
  • It’s Hanzo’s birthday today (Hard)
  • Invisibile (Hard)

Support

Some characters, like as Lucio and Mercy, provide buffs to their teammates (such as Lucio’s speed boost and Mercy’s damage boost) as part of the support role.

In order to keep your colleagues alive as long as possible, it is your role as a support hero to keep them alive for as long as possible.

They’re typically overlooked in favor of damage heroes, yet their performance can make the difference between a win and a loss for a team.

If you’re a support character, you’ll want to stay near to your tanks because they’re the most squishy heroes in the game.

  • Lucio (Easy)
  • Mercy, oh Lord! (Easy)
  • Moira: file other> (Medium)
  • Zenyatta is the name of the game (Medium)
  • She’s called Brigitte, and she’s a (Medium)
  • Anastasia is the name of the (Hard)
  • Theodore (Hard)

Join A Group Before Queueing

To have the best chance of winning an Overwatch match, it’s best to pair up with friends (or random strangers) who have access to microphones or text chat.

Our favorite choice for voice chatting is Overwatch’s built-in system, although you may use Discord or console party chat if you like.

To discover a group of players who share your interests, the game has a matchmaking system that allows you to search for other players who share those interests and provides information such as roles available, game mode, and more.

Choose the yellow box in the upper-right corner of the home menu to bring up the “Looking for Group” function, or simply pick Play > Find Group from the main menu.

Keep Your Team Composition Balanced

When it comes to team compositions, this list isn’t meant to be a comprehensive guide, but it is something you should keep in mind while playing the game.

Any given game’s hero lineup, most generally referred to as the 2-2-2 setup with two tanks and two damage-dealers and two support characters is known as a team composition.

It is up to you to choose the hero that best fits your demands, your team’s requirements, and if there are any other characters in the game that suit their playstyle.

In contrast to Competitive Overwatch, where squad composition is essential, this is far more forgiving in Quickplay and Arcade.

Learn Which Heroes Counter Each Other

Keep in mind that some heroes are apparent counters to others, and you should pick them accordingly.

If you’re having problems dealing with a certain enemy hero, read up which heroes can counter that hero for the next time you meet that hero.

As a side note, you should also be putting pressure on the enemy team’s weaker characters so that you may eventually win the game.

Practice’ Synergy’ With Teammates

Let’s talk about synergy and why it’s so important for winning games so that you understand why you should actively pick specific heroes.

You and another player’s talents work together in synergy, allowing you to bounce off each other’s plays and dominate the game. Synergy

Check out your favorite hero’s stats, skills, and Ultimates to see which characters they work well with.

Target Support And Damage Heroes First

An opponent tank’s healer may patch them back up as if nothing ever occurred after taking a lot of damage.

In order to prevent this from happening, you should first target any healers or support characters who are alone.

Aside from damage heroes, all three roles can benefit from this advice. Supports should be the first target, followed by Damage, and last by Tanks.

If you can kill the opposition team’s healers on a constant basis, the rest of the squad will eventually disintegrate or retreat, allowing you to take the objective.

Stay On The Objective

If you remember nothing else from this book, remember how critical it is to keep focused on your goal, even if your teammates aren’t.

When the other team discovers a way to penalize you, your team is left outnumbered and vulnerable.

When it comes to fighting, certain heroes (like Widowmaker) prefer to be right in the middle of the action, while others (like Dreadnought) prefer to take a more back-and-forth approach.

Make sure you’re not overextending yourself even if you don’t think your current hero is capable of battling near the objective.

Always Be Moving

For those who haven’t figured it out by now, moving in Overwatch is crucial to winning games because some characters can track you down.

There are two characters in the game to watch out for: Hanzo and Widowmaker, both of whom are snipers with the ability to see through barriers.

Bastion, Torbjorn, and Junkrat are all examples of heroes who are vulnerable to this threat, as well as anyone who stands motionless for too long.

Be on the lookout for fresh vantage positions to put up turrets or traps so that you can constantly keep snipers guessing.

Group Up After Every Respawn

After each respawn, it’s a good idea to huddle up with your squad, especially if your deaths were staggered.

Before the next big assault, your team can use this time to talk, restrategize, or even switch heroes if required.

If you’re on the losing end of the battle, it’s probably best to stay away from the enemy near spawn, but don’t be afraid to dash back if you still have some buddies who are fighting.

Use the Communication Wheel, chat, or by hitting C on your keyboard or D-pad to alert your fellow players that you’d want to form a group.

Use Your Ultimate Wisely

A hero’s Ultimate ability is charged over time dependent on criteria such as the amount of damage caused and the quantity of healing received.

If your team has to respawn or an enemy has finished their attack, some Ultimates are designed to go on the offensive while others are meant to buy you time.

You should only employ Ultimates if you’re confident that your squad can follow up with their own attacks, given their power and limited use.

We’ve compiled a list of the most potent Ultimate combos to aid you in regaining command of the battlefield.

  • Hanzo and Zarya (Graviton surge) (Dragonstrike)
  • D.Va and Sombra (EMP) (Self-destruct)
  • Two characters: Genji and Ana (Nano Boost) (Dragonblade)

Optimize Your Game Settings

It’s possible to fine-tune Overwatch’s controls by navigating to the Options > Controls menu option from the home screen.

Set your mouse or controller sensitivity, adjust the color of your reticle, enable or disable ally health bars, and map your controls to a new set of keys or buttons.

You can alter the default settings for all heroes with a single click, or you can create custom profiles for specific heroes.

You’ll get a better sense of how characters move and aim over time, so feel free to explore with both low and high sensitivities until you’re comfortable.

Avoid Toxic Behavior As Much As Possible

As a general rule, avoid taking criticism from the Overwatch community too personally. Instead, report offenders for using sexist or racist words or behavior.

This is especially true in Competitive Overwatch, but there are plenty of shady characters to be found in Quickplay and Arcade as well.

There is nothing worse than a defeat, but it is an opportunity to reflect on what went well and what didn’t and to come back with a fresh perspective.

It’s important to remember to take a break from the commotion of an intense match by taking a few deep breaths, stretching, and hydrating.

INTRO

Overwatch, in general, is a team-based game. If you want to succeed, you must work together as a group. This is something that many individuals overlook and use to their advantage. Throughout this book, the focus will be on how to play as a team and take advantage of the flaws of your opponents.

Some characters in Overwatch are capable of carrying a team to victory, but even the strongest players will have a difficult time doing so.

OVERWATCH BEGINNER – LEARN THE HEROES

In the “Practice Range,” which is accessible to new players, you should initially experiment with all of the different characters.

It’s safe to play around with superheroes, test their abilities and shoot at moving targets at the practice range.

It’s a quick and easy method to get to know the various Overwatch characters and put their skills to the test. Even if you don’t plan on playing a specific hero, understanding the mechanics and how they function is really beneficial.

The in-game menu item “Training” gives you access to the practice range.

To begin, select the first hero, practice with his or her powers, and then return to the main area to select a different hero. The next step in the game is to try out all of the heroes.

HERO ROLES

DPS, tank, and healer are the three primary hero classes in Overwatch. In putting together the squad, each member has a significant impact.

DPS HEROES

As the team’s primary damage dealer, DPS heroes deal the bulk of the team’s damage. They’re more vulnerable than tanks because they’re squishy. They are, however, frequently endowed with the ability to move around.

All of the characters in the game have unique abilities, such as Soldier: 76, Widowmaker, Genji, and others.

As a DPS hero, your primary goal is to inflict as much damage as possible on the other side. Prioritizing who you want to murder is critical, and we’ll cover this in more detail under “Target Priority.”

As a DPS hero, it’s critical that you attempt to maintain your life total throughout the course of the game. Keep an eye on the adversary and adjust your positioning accordingly, for you are weak and will be easily killed. If you’re going into a team fight, don’t go in thinking you can take down the whole thing by yourself. Also, avoid going after kills that will get you killed. If played correctly, Doomfist and Genji, two DPS characters, can get away with charging the other team, but other heroes are better served by staying back and dealing damage from afar. In the “Flanking” section, we’ll go into greater detail about this.

TANK HEROES

This means that tanks can take a lot of damage from their opponents. Tanks are frequently at the center of the action in games because of the ability they have to protect themselves and their teammates (like shields).

Although they have enormous hitboxes, they are easy targets for the opposition team because of this.

DPS heroes, on the other hand, have a tendency to do more damage. Getting kills and surviving are often dependant on the team.

Tanks have varying degrees of mobility. There are some tanks that can easily jump across the map, like as Winston, but there are heroes such as Orisa who travel slowly.

HEALERS

Every team needs healers or support heroes. Taking care of their teammates is a crucial job for these people. Overwatch’s healer roster boasts a more varied selection, making it more enjoyable to take on the role of one.

When you’re a healer, your number one concern should always be the health of your teammates.

Keeping your allies alive should always take precedence over dealing damage to the opposing squad.

DPS and most of the tanks inflict more damage than the majority of healers can do, but most healers can only do so much damage.

Inexperienced players are prone to failing to pay attention to their colleagues’ needs.

TARGET PRIORITY

Target prioritization is an additional facet of Overwatch that cannot be overlooked, especially if you are a damage-dealing hero.

Tanks, although being relatively easy to take out, are generally the most undervalued targets in a battle.

The health pool tanks have is enormous, making them an easy target for healing. In addition to the damage they can take, if there is a healer nearby, they can take even more damage before they die.

As a result, a preferable strategy would be to kill the healer or DPS first, and then take down the tank.

Keep an eye out for opposing healers or DPS players who aren’t with their team and take them down instead. Look out for the healers in a team fight, and begin by killing them. By then, you’ll notice that everything else will be much easier to deal with.

It’s possible to catch opponent DPS players flanking you from the side (see next section). Because losing a member of your own squad is never an option, it’s critical that your entire team go after the flanker. Your team has a numerical edge now that it is 6 vs. 5 if the flanker is effectively eliminated.

FLANKING

DPS heroes are mostly responsible for flanking (or Roadhog if you play tank). A flanker’s job is to slink away from the rest of the team and sneak up on the opposition from unexpected angles. It’s common practice to sneak up behind enemy armor and shields in order to take out the healers who are usually stationed behind the tanks, tending to their wounds.

While flanking can be effective, it must be done correctly. You are flanking incorrectly if you are getting killed all the time.

A successful flanker will be able to attack the opposing healers while escaping if the enemy team decides to pursue him. If an enemy gets too close, McCree can stun them with his long range and long-range weapons.

TEAM COMPOSITIONS

As this is an advanced topic, we will only briefly touch on it here. In order to select the best heroes, a team’s makeup has an impact. Some heroes have excellent dynamics when they are selected, while others have poor dynamics and don’t utilize each other in the most effective manner.

Keep in mind that there are three basic types of heroes, and it’s critical that your team has members from each.

The “2-2-2” set-up is the traditional one. Two DPS heroes, two healers, and two tanks make up a four-hero team.

Other configurations are possible, although they are less likely to succeed in battle if they include a large number of DPS heroes. The fact that professional teams are highly specialized and utilize team dynamics like no one else means that they can often get away with strange team combinations.

Inexperienced players will greatly benefit from the 2-2-2 configuration.

THE “DIVE COMP”

Players with a high level of skill tend to favor the dive composition. Due to its tremendous mobility, it is capable of “diving” into the opposition team.

As an example of a common dive composition, here is an example:

DPS

  • Genji
  • Widowmaker

Tanks

  • Winston
  • D.va

Healers

  • Lucio
  • Mercy

As DPS, we’ve got Genji and Widowmaker in this mix. Genji is quick to enter and exit fights due to his mobility. In spite of her lack of mobility, Widowmaker is able to inflict significant damage from a considerable distance away.

Both Windows and D.va are tanks that can move around easily. They may simply fly into the other team and tear them apart with a single hop.

Besides being healers, Lucio and Mercy have a decent bit of mobility. As a result of Lucio’s speed, the rest of his team is even more agile. In contrast, Mercy has the ability to swiftly fly to her allies.

However, a diving competition could offer a wide range of options.

The heroes listed here can all be considered for a dive comp:

Heroes with high DPS diving capabilities

  • Genji, Widowmaker and Pharah are among the best characters in the game. Doomfist, Genji, Widowmaker and Pharah are among the best characters.
  • Widowmaker, Doomfist, Genji, Sombra, and Tracer are the most mobile.

Dive tanks for competition

  • Reigning champions Reinhardt, D.va, Zarya, and Winston
  • Wrecking Ball, Winston, and D.va are the most mobile.

Healers that specialize in scuba diving

Divers are able to use a wide range of healers, because those who lack mobility can still heal from a safe distance.

  • There is a large group of characters in this game: Lucio, Mercy Ana Moira Brigita Zenyatta Baptiste
  • Lucio, Mercy, and Moira are the most mobile.

HERO SELECTION AND COUNTERS

In this section, we’ll go into more detail on squad composition. As previously said, the team’s overall composition is critical. In many cases, a well-thought-out piece of writing will have a significant edge.

As a result, you should keep an eye on what your teammates are picking when you’re picking your hero. A hero who fits the dive comp can be a good choice if everyone else is going for fast and agile hero.

Remember that in order to succeed in Overwatch, your squad must be adaptable and capable of fielding a diverse selection of heroes and classes.

Consider taking on the role of primary healer yourself if no one else is willing to step up. Tanks are the same. In most cases, having too many individuals interested in playing DPS isn’t a problem; nevertheless, in the beginning, you may run into this issue.

Your hero selection will have to be sacrificed for the benefit of the team if you are going to win. The sooner you recognize this, the more quickly you will rise in the ranks.

HERO COUNTERS

Your team composition may not be ideal against the opposition team composition as the game progresses.

If this is the case, it is imperative to switch to a different hero as quickly as possible.

Example

They have a Pharah who is constantly being healed by a Mercy. Genji and Tracer are the DPS heroes on your team.

Your squad will have a difficult time taking down the Pharah in this arrangement because she is perched above the ground and is difficult for Genji and Tracer to take down. Since Pharah is a hitscan hero, McCree, Soldier, or Widowmaker are the best counters. Once the opponent Pharah is dealt with, you can continue to deal damage as a hitscan while switching to another character.

PLAY AS A TEAM – GROUPING UP

In Overwatch, victory is all about working together as a team.

Unless your entire squad is prepared to battle, you should not get involved in a fight. An exception to this can be made in the event if you have control points and can prevent your opponent’s side from gaining them. Grouping together before engaging in combat is, in most situations, the ideal strategy.

Why is grouping so crucial?

An entire team of ordinary players will be nearly impossible to beat even for the best player. Due to the nature of Overwatch being a numbers game, going two against six will almost always result in a loss for the two players.

It is common to come across athletes who have lost track of their teammates when starting out in the lower tiers. They will get right into the fray (often on their own) and rapidly succumb to their injuries. Player after player engages in combat with the opposing team’s complete complement and always comes out on top — their team is now down by one. The other members of the team are now at a disadvantage because they are 5 vs 6.

Get an overview of your teammates’ locations as soon as your character respawns. It’s more likely that two people will die in a struggle against a large group of opponents if they are the only ones left. For now, you’ll have to wait until your friends have respawned before taking on another battle.

“Resetting” is another term for this. Before everyone dies, the world can be reset. As long as the remaining members of the team have a chance of surviving, it is preferable for the team at large to step back and wait for respawns if just two or three members have been killed.

BE SMART WITH HERO ULTIMATES

Even the most supreme of talents can be the difference between victory and defeat. If employed correctly, they can bring down the entire opposition team.

Earlier, we discussed team compositions, and ultimates play a significant role in that as well. Some heroes have ultimate abilities that complement each other perfectly and are capable of defeating the entire opponent team in a matter of moments.

When Zarya’s graviton surge is used in conjunction with Hanzo’s dragonstrike, the result is a potent ultimate.

When employing your ultimate power, don’t use it in a way that could jeopardize your teammates or yourself.

How to make the most of your ultimate powers:

  • Don’t forget to check with your teammates to determine if there is anyone else on the squad that shares your ultimate goal.
  • Get the word out there that your ultimate is ready.
  • Make sure your team is ready to follow up on your ultimate – do not waste it.

PLAY SMART

While obtaining a kill is satisfying, seeking kills only for the sake of getting killed is counterproductive in terms of the match’s outcome. In the long run, it’s best to think ahead. As a general concept, “playing smart” frequently equates to “playing safe” for most newcomers. Waiting to respawn is less valuable to your team than your life. The higher you go, the more aggressive and offensive people become, but they typically do so in a team-oriented manner.

COMMUNICATION

In order to succeed as a team, you need to communicate well. It is highly recommended that you use the microphone to communicate with your colleagues, discuss plans, and shout out where foes are and which enemies have little health (easily killable). If you’re serious about climbing the ranks, you should get a microphone. When it comes to sports, being a poor communicator can frequently more than make up for it.

DEALING WITH LOSSES AND TOXICITY

While open lines of communication are essential, they can also lead to toxic behavior and irate coworkers. When your team starts performing poorly in competitive play, you will confront a lot of toxicity. This can happen even in quickplay. As a general rule, people tend to point fingers at others rather than themselves when things go wrong in a game. The team’s performance will suffer as a result of this negative attitude. Positivity is contagious, and it will carry you far in life. How many games have been turned around and miracles have occurred when it appeared impossible. But if you’re a poisonous person and give up, you won’t achieve this.

Toxic and effective ways of communicating

  • Strive to be amiable.
  • Make a list of tactics and where the enemy is located.
  • Keep your callouts brief and to the point.
  • Be careful not to criticize or blame your teammates for poor results; everyone has terrible days.
  • Taking a break from the game can help you get your spirits back on track if you’re feeling down. Playing when enraged will only result in more defeats for your team.

If someone on the team is consistently underperforming, be sure to bring it to their attention in a way that encourages them to improve. Do not begin to point fingers. This can cause them to become defensive and less productive.

Overwatch is a team game, and a squad with a bad mentality is going to lose a lot of games. Taking a loss when you face an exceptional opponent is perfectly acceptable. Putting yourself in a bad mood and blaming others for your failure will only make things worse.

You’ll get a lot further if you encourage your teammates and give them constructive feedback with a cheerful tone.

OPTIMIZE YOUR SETTINGS

Optimizing your in-game settings, while less critical for new players, is a simple approach to see tiny gains. The most crucial settings depend on the hero you choose, but in most cases, your ability to aim and your mouse settings can make a huge difference in your performance.

Professional Overwatch players’ settings and gear have been listed on ProSettings.com. Check out our collection of Overwatch Pro Settings to get some ideas for your own settings by studying what the pros are doing.

Configuring the Mouse

DPI in Overwatch is 940 and in-game sensitivity is 5.9, with the latter being the most common. Your settings may need to be adjusted if they are too far from this. The sensitivity of a lot of new gamers is set way too high. In the short term, it’s easier to look around. However, the crosshair is more difficult to fine-tune, making it tougher to strike Ana’s little head.

If you’re playing a hero that relies on hitscan, you’ll likely benefit from having a reduced sensitivity to your attacks.

Reinhardt and Winston are two notable exceptions, both of which benefit from greater sensitivity.

CONCLUSION AND TL;DR

Just as we said at the outset, succeeding in Overwatch is all about working together as a team. Your actions and attitude set the tone for the rest of your team’s efforts, so start there.

We’ve learnt a lot about how to play better Overwatch, so let’s sum it up:

  • Become familiar with the abilities of several heroes.
  • Identify a hero that best represents your team (try to go for a 2-2-2 setup)
  • Be prepared to be a healer or a tank in the game.
  • Preparation is key when facing off against rival heroes.
  • Focus on healing and DPS heroes as your first line of defense.
  • Using flanking is an effective DPS strategy.
  • Prior to getting into any conflicts, wait for your teammates to arrive before engaging in any combat. This will prevent you from losing a large number of your teammates.
  • Don’t waste your ultimates; instead, work together with your teammates to make the most of them.
  • Try to stay alive and avoid getting into conflicts by yourself.
  • Use your microphone, have strategy meetings with your squad, and make foes aware of your presence.
  • Avoid negativity – don’t point fingers at your coworkers, instead provide words of encouragement and have a good attitude.
  • Poisonous teammates should be blocked if they begin to act in a toxic manner and persist.
  • Optimize your system’s configuration.

Learning Each Role In Overwatch

There are three distinct roles in Overwatch: tank, damage, and healer. For a team to win a match, each of these duties had to be played well. In order to be a versatile and integral part of a team’s success, a player must feel at ease in all of their roles. For new players, the following suggestions will aid in their exploration of the various archetypes:

  • Overwatch’s tank characters have a lot of health and helpful skills that let them protect and aid their teammates during battles. Many of these skills are geared around keeping your allies safe against powerful enemy attacks, or even separating critical players from the other team (such as Reinhardt’s shield or Winston’s bubble). Tank characters are the backbone of every team and provide vital protection for the players they are assigned to.
  • These characters have little health yet tremendous damage output. It’s usually considered that these characters are the most difficult to utilize because their success depends on the player’s specific shooting ability. Among the more challenging but more powerful heroes in this category are Soldier 76, Tracer, and Bastion, but more accessible characters like Genji, Hanzo, and Widowmaker are also available. Regardless matter which Damage character you choose, you must get used to it in order to take down your opponent’s team.
  • A team’s most important resource is its healer. Healers have the power to keep an underdog team in the fight and even change the tides of war in their favor. Even though they don’t get as many victories as the other archetypes, these characters are crucial to a team’s competitive success since they offer crucial moral support. A decent option is Mercy or Lucio, both of whom are versatile.

Grouping Up In Overwatch

Staying close to your teammates is the most vital part of the Overwatch game philosophy. With Overwatch, the emphasis is on teamwork and maximizing each player’s unique set of skills and abilities rather than relying on solo play.

Overwatch’s most unpleasant battles are those in which a disjointed squad is pitted against a tightly connected enemy force. To be successful in online games, you must be able to build on the strengths of your teammates while also shoring up their flaws. Keep your Reinhardt close by to provide Damage players free cover to shoot through, while keeping a healer close by allows a player to apply pressure to an adversary almost free of charge.

Attempting to take on a well-coordinated team alone is bound to result in a swift and severe defeat. Always keep together; you’d be shocked at the success an ordinary team can have over a squad of technically sound but disorganized players.

Learning Synergy In Overwatch

When playing Overwatch, one of the most important lessons one can learn is which heroes work well together and which groupings of characters may either open up or destroy the other team. The number of synergies in the game is virtually limitless, and mastering them will significantly improve your performance.

Consider the potent Pharah-Mercy combination, for example. With Mercy’s help, Pharah can be transported to greater heights, allowing her to scout the battlefield and deliver her potent healing and power beams to the Pharah as needed. If you know how to play Pharah, you can wipe out an enemy team with ease thanks to her strong damage and Mercy’s damage enhancements. For example, this synergy is one of the most recognizable in the video game.

Reinhardt and Bastion are another outstanding example. A Reinhardt shield and a turret mode bastion make this combination a wall of death. Payload maps are difficult to defend if you’re on the attacking team.

In order for a player to get the most out of a pairing, they must understand that there are an almost infinite amount of ways to enhance their powers. And mastering these synergies can surely improve a player’s chances of winning in a game.

Avoiding Toxic Behavior In Overwatch

Overwatch has a notoriously toxic fanbase, which is an unfortunate reality of the game. It’s not uncommon for a self-described professional player to harshly criticize and berate a teammate during a game. Rather than teaching the player how to become a better athlete, this serves as a safety net. Toxic behavior simply serves to exclude excellent players from the community through the use of offensive language and conduct. Instead of seeing defeat as a game of finger-pointing, look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Observe as your style of play improves and people no longer dread having you on their side.
