Take into consideration how much range your supports have, how much mobility your damage heroes have, or what your tank's kit lets them do and how that can help the team. Often it doesn't matter who switches to fit team synergy, someone just has to. If your supports are close-range healers like Lucio and Brigitte is it smart or safe to pick Pharah? If your DPS are playing Bastion and Torbjorn would bunker-like Reinhardt make more sense or would hyper-mobile Junkerqueen ? Watching gameplay and conversing with others who play the game will help you learn over time as w

Hollywood: The "cargo" is an Omnic called HAL-Fred Glitchbot (here's an extra Easter Egg, considering his name). He is being targeted by an anti-Omnic group; One team attacks him while the other are his bodygua

The more you play, the more comfortable you'll become with the different maps and where to run and hide when a D.va drops her ultimate or a Junkrat releases his tire. As a Widow, you are extremely vulnerable and need to work from a distance as a sniper. If you're sniping from the ground just behind the payload, you are going to die quickly - so find good high-ground spots that suit your playstyle. These are just some examples of why positioning is important. Another common mistake people make when playing as a tank or DPS and asking for heals but not being accessible to their supports because they are not in a safe spot. Always be aware of your positioning with regard to danger (enemies) and safety (your support

When you do the Tutorial for Overwatch 2, it tells you that you can melee an enemy when they're super close to you to deal a little damage to them. For most of the heroes in the game, you will never be using this mechanic because it's quite hard to remember it's there at the right ti

By heading to Career Profile and selecting the Statistics tab, you can select different heroes and go over your stats. You can see your average death rate, how many kills you get per ten minutes, and more. This is a good starting point for looking over your performance and setting goals . If your deaths per ten are high, you can set a goal to decrease this and start playing more conservatively. While it is important to be aware of your stats and understand what they mean, they can also hinder you if you over-analyze them too much as w

The servers have stabilized and Blizzard has stressed they’re working on shortening the queue times, but for an online game, there will most assuredly always be a wait time. Be wary of long queue times as you try to simply access the main menu in the game. If you remain inactive for too long, the game client will disconnect, and you'll have to start ov

Each rank plays differently and has different unwritten rules. Like everything else in Overwatch 2, it's situational. For example, supports in higher ranks are able to heal less and use the range of their kits more because they know their teammates are able to survive on their own longer. Support heroes in lower ranks need to focus on healing more because their team will be dying a lot and still learning important things like positioning. Be aware of what ELO (rank) you are in and how that may limit you. You may be under or over-performing. A support in Bronze rank may be over-performing by trying to use damage or their other abilities instead of focusing heals on their less-skilled team members. Like everything in Overwatch 2 Tips, play for your team first, then your own stats, the ranking up will shortly fol

It's particularly useful alongside characters with no reload either, such as Reinhardt or Genji during Dragonblade, since they won't stop attacking for anything (except death). There are a few ways to make this ultimate less effective, but none that actually stop

A powerful ability with a lot of teamwork potential . Zarya's ultimate deals nearly no damage, but that is not the useful part here. It can trap any nearby enemy to a single spot, and even stops movement abilities such as Fade or Wraith Form, thus making it one of the best ways to trap people in the g
