	<br>~~Tracer~~'s ~~signature move is her Blink~~, ~~which allows her to warp in any direction up to three times in~~ a ~~row. The key here is to make sure~~ that ~~you always have at least one blink at your disposal, as getting caught in a standard one-~~on~~-one firefight without movement abilities almost always leaves Tracer at a major disadvantage. One of~~ the ~~cooler aspects~~ of ~~her Blink is that it~~ can ~~totally~~ be ~~used to get across large gaps~~, ~~allowing her to sneak around characters like Bastion and Widowmaker. Tracer's Recall ability allows her to rewind time in a manner similar to~~ that ~~seen in Super Time Force, allowing her~~ to ~~move back~~ to a ~~previous position~~. ~~What makes~~ this ~~ability particularly special~~ is ~~that Tracer's ammo and~~ health ~~counts will be restored to whatever~~ they ~~were at that particular point~~ in ~~time, so this ability is absolutely crucial for fighting against characters~~ with ~~far more health than her~~. ~~Finally~~, ~~her ultimate is the Pulse Bomb, which is essentially~~ a ~~sticky grenade with a massive damage count and relatively low area of effect. Bear in mind that the Pulse Bomb can totally kill Tracer~~, ~~so if you~~'~~re looking~~ to ~~throw it into a crowd of enemies~~, make ~~sure that you have your Blink or Recall available to get out of the danger zone~~.<br>~~<br>When we started~~ on the ~~project~~, ~~we actually sent out a team-wide brainstorming email where we just asked people~~ to ~~send hero ideas. We maybe got one-hundred or two-hundred~~ of ~~them from across~~ the team, ~~and some of the heroes in [Overwatch] now are based upon the original ideas~~ that ~~people sent in~~.<br><br>~~Mercy~~'s ~~Caduceus Staff~~ allows her to ~~attach~~ a ~~healing beam~~ to ~~a single ally in her immediate area~~, ~~and~~ this ~~should be done as much as humanly possible~~. ~~There isn~~'t ~~necessarily~~ a ~~point~~ to ~~playing Mercy if the Caduceus Staff isn~~'t the ~~main focus~~ of ~~your activities, especially considering that Mercy's secondary abilities all play into her knack for healing teammates. Guardian Angel is both Mercy's most useful ability and~~ the ~~skill that most players completely forget to use. By pointing your reticle at one~~ of ~~your teammates~~, ~~you'll be able~~ to ~~rapidly fly towards~~ them, ~~allowing you~~ to ~~either get right up~~ in the ~~action or heal a distant enemy~~. ~~The one thing to keep~~ in ~~mind~~ with ~~Guardian Angel is~~ that ~~you need a clear path towards your teammate, so~~ you're ~~not~~ going to be ~~able~~ to ~~warp through walls or ceilings~~.<br><br>~~Reinhardt's first ability~~, ~~Charge~~, is ~~quite tough to control~~, but ~~can basically guarantee you a kill when used properly~~. ~~As the name suggests, this ability propels Reinhardt forward~~ a ~~great distance~~, ~~but it also allows him to do damage to everyone in his path~~. ~~What's more~~, ~~any enemies~~ that you ~~pin~~ up ~~against a wall with charge will receive massive damage~~, ~~usually resulting in~~ a ~~kill. His other ability~~, ~~Fire Strike, allows him~~ to ~~launch a flaming projectile in~~ the ~~direction~~ of the ~~reticle for large close-~~to~~-medium range damage~~. ~~Using Charge and Fire Strike in combination with his ultimate~~, ~~Earthshatter (which stuns all enemies in~~ a ~~straight line) makes for~~ a ~~wonderful opportunity~~ to ~~get multi-kills. Still~~, ~~you're going~~ to ~~want~~ to ~~choose Reinhardt for his shield and its benefits for objective play over everything else~~.<br><br>~~Zenyatta~~'s ~~two~~ core ~~abilities are remarkably similar to~~ one ~~another, though they have completely opposite effects. The Orb of Harmony can be thrown onto any ally~~ in the area, ~~and so long as they remain in sight~~ of ~~Zenyatta, they will become the recipients of non~~-~~stop healing~~. ~~However, there can only~~ be ~~one player sporting an Orb of Harmony at any given time~~, so if you ~~decide~~ to ~~heal another player, this will result in~~ the ~~first orb disappearing~~. ~~This~~ ability ~~is fantastic for when you need to keep your tank healthy~~, ~~maintain an ally's health during their ultimate or when a big push~~ is ~~on the horizon~~. ~~Conversely~~, ~~the Orb~~ of ~~Discord can be passed onto a single enemy~~, ~~and while~~ they ~~are~~ in ~~Zenyatta's line~~ of ~~sight, they will receive extra~~ damage ~~from all incoming attacks~~. ~~If you ever encounter a foe who~~ is ~~wrecking your entire team, or if you simply are looking to take~~ out a [https://~~Www~~.Overwatchtactics.com/~~articles/mauga-overwatch-2-s-samoan-powerhouse-tank-changing-the-meta-in-2025.html mauga tank Guide~~] ~~or pesky sniper, this might just be the best ability for the job. Finally, Zenyatta~~'s ~~ultimate, Transcendence, only lasts for a couple of seconds, but can make the difference between a successful push~~ to ~~victory and a blind bum-rush. For a few seconds~~, ~~Transcendence makes Zenyatta completely invulnerable~~ and ~~heals all~~ of ~~the enemies in the surrounding area~~. ~~If you're looking~~ to ~~win an overtime period~~, this is ~~one~~ of the ~~strongest tools at your disposal, despite the fact that it doesn't do any direct damage~~.<br><br>~~Genji~~'s ~~first ability~~, ~~Swift Strike~~, ~~allows him~~ to ~~dash in whichever~~ the ~~direction~~ the ~~reticle~~ is ~~facing~~, ~~doing~~ damage to ~~anyone caught in his path~~. This ~~particular ability has a unique hidden modifier, as its cooldown~~ is ~~instantly reset whenever Genji eliminates another player, thus allowing for~~ a ~~series of potentially devastating killstreaks. His second ability, Deflect, is the single best method~~ for taking out Bastion ~~(for those of you who think that everyone's favorite robot is completely over-powered~~ and ~~unstoppable)~~. ~~By pressing~~ the ~~appropriate command prompt~~, ~~all incoming fire is immediately deflected in the direction in which Genji is facing, which allows you~~ to ~~do as much damage~~ to ~~enemies as they hope to do to you. Genji's ultimate~~, ~~Dragonblade, is~~ also ~~insanely powerful when used correctly. In a nutshell, Dragonblade~~ allows ~~him~~ to ~~whip out his sword and do massive damage to enemies at close range over~~ a ~~duration of ten seconds. The main thing to keep in mind here is that enemies can still kill you~~ when ~~you're running up on them~~, ~~so simply bum-rushing into chaos with your ultimate activated is a complete waste~~.<br>		<br>Hanzo's weapon, the Storm Bow, has a damage output that increases based on the amount of tension on its string, which can be controlled by holding down the fire button. Quick shots, while weak, are certainly great for short range encounters, though it should be noted that effective Hanzo players are going to want to stay behind allies who shoot a bit more rapidly. Where this sniper becomes absolutely fatal is through his fully charged shots, which can take massive chunks off of the health bars of every enemy they come in contact with. However, this power comes at a price, as Hanzo's shots have an arc to them, so long range shots must be aimed above their targets in order to make contact.<br>The support class is also carefully designed for players of all skill levels. While it doesn’t ring true in every situation, there are a few support characters that focus more on aiding the team rather than outright combat, allowing for less skilled players to contribute to the overall success of the team, while more skilled players can pick from certain support characters that demand more strategic use, like Zenyatta.<br><br>Pharah's first core ability, known as Jump Jet, allows her to rapidly boost into the air. Aside from the fact that this is an awesome tactic for maneuvering around the map, it also presents Pharah players with a huge advantage, as most players are concentrated on ground-level encounters. Needless to say, any rockets that come from above will generally take the other team by surprise, so use this to your advantage. Her second ability, Concussive Blast, doesn't do a great deal of damage, but it has the ability to push enemies a significant distance. If you're looking to annoy the hell out of opposing snipers (or anyone during the second round of Capture on Nepal), try using this to push them off of the map. Finally, her ultimate, Barrage, causes her to remain stagnant while she unleashes an insane amount of rockets in the direction of her reticle. This is best utilized in combination with Jump Jet, but you should be aware that you're going to be a relatively easy target for those behind you, so try to plan accordingly.<br><br>Take Soldier 76, for example. On the surface, he is the most recognizable of the bunch. To be honest, he looks like he was plucked from any semi-futuristic shooter, but his inclusion and design is an important one. Overwatch is a game that awards team and skill-based play, and Soldier 76 serves the important role of acclimating less experienced players into the game. His moveset is simple, with an ultimate ability that essentially allows you to hold down a trigger and rack up kills without aiming, and he also has a healing item, which helps to minimize the importance of avoiding enemy fire. He also has the benefit of handling like a traditional first person shooter, which is bound to resonate with fans of the genre. There’s also Widowmaker, a fan favorite who wields a powerful sniper rifle. While her moveset and weapons require more skill to successfully use, her character design harkens to the femme fatale types that are instantly recognizable, which makes it easier for newcomers to discern what her purpose is within the game.<br><br>Sonic Arrow, Hanzo's first core ability, replaces his standard arrow with one that reveals all enemies in the surrounding area, essentially producing a smaller version of Widowmaker's Infra-Sight ultimate. This should be used when you have a sinking feeling that your team is being flanked, or if you're simply looking to get the lay of the land around a given objective. Hanzo's second ability, Scatter Arrow, is fairly self-explanatory. A single arrow that divides into a host of smaller projectiles, Scatter Arrow does a fair amount of damage when in an enclosed area, as each of its smaller arrows will bounce off of any surface they come in contact with. One major point on this: direct contact with an enemy before the split will cause every arrow to hit that foe, causing a massive amount of damage. Finally, Hanzo's ultimate is perhaps the most iconic out of every one of [https://WWW.Overwatchtactics.com/ Overwatch tips]'s unique special attacks. Dragonstrike allows his next arrow to split into two massive dragons that twist around each other, go through walls and do huge damage to anyone caught inside of its wake. Needless to say, this is an absolutely wonderful attack for clearing out an objective or payload destination, and perfect timing will often net players the coveted Play of the Game.<br><br>If there's one constant in video games, it's that rocket launchers are always cool, period. Pharah, Overwatch's resident flying explosive expert, is no exception to this rule, as she has the potential to devastate an entire enemy squad when used properly. Her main weapon, the aforementioned Rocket Launcher, is not only incredibly powerful when it makes direct contact with an enemy, but it also possesses fairly large splash damage, so you don't necessarily need to worry about hitting foes directly. This is a wonderful weapon for taking out enemies that thrive on camping, like Bastion, Hanzo and Widowmaker. In addition to the Rocket Launcher, Pharah also possesses a jet pack mapped to her jump button. Not only does this allow her to reach higher ground for sneaky firing tactics, but it also allows her to hover in mid-air for a limited time when used properly, making all of her abilities all the more surprising.<br>

Still~~, ~~despite being a fairly normal, by-~~the-~~books character~~, ~~his normalcy not~~ only ~~stands out in this zany cast~~ of ~~heroes~~, ~~but it also allows him~~ to ~~be one of~~ the ~~most accessible heroes of~~ the ~~entire group~~. ~~Equipped with~~ the ~~Heavy Pulse Rifle,~~ a ~~fully automatic assault rifle that excels at medium range~~, ~~Soldier: 76 is outstanding at sitting back behind tanks~~ and ~~dealing massive amounts~~ of damage. ~~In addition to the standard firing mode, which~~ is ~~also super successful when shot in bursts~~, ~~the Heavy Pulse Rifle also allows Solider: 76~~ to ~~fire Helix Rockets,~~ a ~~triple~~-~~headed set of explosives that fire without an arc~~. ~~Unfortunately~~, for ~~as powerful as~~ the ~~Helix Rockets are~~, ~~they have~~ a ~~pretty massive cooldown~~, so make ~~sure that~~ you ~~use them only when advantageous~~, ~~as you risk letting~~ your ~~foes know~~ that ~~you~~'~~re without your most powerful weapon~~.<br><br>~~Roadhog boasts one of the most effective ability combinations of any of Overwatch~~'s ~~heroes.

In addition, Roadhog's second main skill, Take a Breather~~, allows ~~him~~ to ~~heal a great portion of his own health, allowing him~~ to ~~stay on the front line of battle for far longer than pretty much every other hero outside of Reinhardt~~. ~~Finally, Roadhog~~'s ultimate ~~is absolutely devastating~~, ~~though it~~ is ~~equally difficult to control~~. ~~His Whole Hog skill gives~~ him ~~the ability~~ to ~~transform~~ his ~~Scrap Gun into a~~ massive ~~automatic gatling gun, though the sheer amount of recoil makes this a far better option for~~ close ~~and medium~~ range ~~than long distance engagements~~.

Of course~~, ~~this also means that he's fairly vulnerable to snipers, as he's~~ a ~~massive target that can't really fight back against enemies that are out of range of his weapons and abilities~~.<br><br>~~The thing is~~, ~~playing nearly one-thousand hours~~ of ~~Modern Warfare 2 during~~ my ~~freshman year~~ of ~~college (sorry mom~~) ~~burned me~~ out ~~on multiplayer games for~~ a ~~long time~~. ~~Make no mistake~~, ~~I've loved a great deal of multiplayer games over the years~~, ~~but they always seem to either only stick with me during~~ the ~~first couple of weeks~~ or ~~fade out of~~ my ~~consciousness after I submit a review~~. ~~Granted~~, ~~this is partially due~~ to the perils of being a multi-platform gamer with single-platform friends, yet there hasn't really been a multiplayer game since 2009 that has burrowed into my brain quite like Infinity Ward's last great game.<br><br>~~Without a doubt~~, ~~Zarya~~ is the Overwatch ~~hero that most players seem to completely forget about. This is actually pretty hilarious considering that she~~'s ~~one of the most rewarding and useful characters on~~ the ~~entire roster. Add in the fact~~ that ~~a lack of Zarya players means that there~~'s ~~a general lack~~ of ~~experience at countering her attacks and abilities, and you have all the makings of a potential monster until the rest of the player base figures her out.~~<br><br>~~There~~'s ~~a number of good explanations as to why Overwatch is such a fantastic game~~, ~~but none greater than Blizzard's clear emphasis on making a shooter that feel awesome~~ to ~~play. Every character~~ is immediately readable, meaning that the more that you play, the more knowledge you gain and, thus, the more your strategy evolves. Throughout my time with Overwatch, I have yet to encounter a dropped frame or a ~~moment~~ of ~~lag, despite having every graphics setting maxed out and the servers existing in a beta state~~. ~~Its shooting~~ is ~~as tight as~~ a ~~Call of Duty~~ or ~~Counter-Strike game, and the sheer number of colors on screen at any given moment finds a way to fill me with glee during even those frustrating moments when your team is~~ getting ~~throttled. Outside~~ of ~~playing Overwatch at the past two PAX Easts~~, it ~~found~~ a ~~way~~ to ~~completely fly under my radar~~, ~~and I couldn't feel dumber for brushing it off~~. ~~At this moment,~~ the ~~only negative thing that I can say about it is that I do not want to spend a moment playing it on a console~~, as ~~Overwatch feels far too good with~~ a ~~mouse and keyboard~~.<br><br>~~Junkrat's abilities aren't going to do as much damage as~~ his ~~Frag Launcher~~, but ~~they're exceptional strategic items when used properly.

In addition to the standard firing mode, which is also super successful when shot in bursts, the Heavy Pulse Rifle also allows Solider: 76 to fire Helix Rockets, a triple-headed set of explosives that fire without an arc.

With 600 hitpoints, Roadhog has the highest health count of any of Overwatch's heroes, and he puts that to good use with his Scrap Gun, a shotgun-like weapon with diminishing power based on range. If you choose to play as this beer-gutted savage, you're going to want to be right up in the action at all times, as one shot from point-blank range will take out pretty much any other hero. Of course, this also means that he's fairly vulnerable to snipers, as he's a massive target that can't really fight back against enemies that are out of range of his weapons and abilities.<br><br>The thing is, playing nearly one-thousand hours of Modern Warfare 2 during my freshman year of college (sorry mom) burned me out on multiplayer games for a long time. Make no mistake, I've loved a great deal of multiplayer games over the years, but they always seem to either only stick with me during the first couple of weeks or fade out of my consciousness after I submit a review.

This is actually pretty hilarious considering that she's one of the most rewarding and useful characters on the entire roster.

Not only does his Concussion Mine allow him to place a remote detonated explosive, enabling perfectly-timed kills when used patiently, but it also functions as a super-jump when used underneath Junkrat. Considering most opposing players don't expect to see Junkrat flying a story or two into the air, using the Concussion Mine as a movement device not only functions as a way to throw enemies off their game, but it also allows you to access areas that foes won't necessarily expect grenades to rain down from.<br><br>With all of that gushing out of the way, I'd like to pinpoint the exact moment where I realized that Overwatch was a special experience, at least for me. While the PC audience is far more knowledgeable about team composition than its console counterparts (as a result of sheer time played), I found myself on a team where the other five players thought it would be a good idea to choose three Tracers and two Reapers. If you don't know anything about Overwatch, you should know that a balanced team consisting of offense, defense, tanks and supports is going to succeed far more often than one where every player is in one category. Considering that Tracer is the squishiest offensive hero and Reaper is an offensive character that isn't going to be able to do damage at range, I found myself at a loss. Generally when I'm attacking a central control point, I enjoy picking someone like Junkrat, whose bouncing grenades can cause absolute chaos. Unfortunately, this hero was out of the question, as my more casual teammates would not be able to succeed without a healer. It's for that very reason that I chose Mercy, who can beam health into any allies that she aims her staff at.<br><br>If you're looking to dig your teeth into a hero with an exceptionally high variance between high and low-level play, then look no farther than Mei. If you were to take a poll of everyone's favorite and least favorite characters, assuming that you're speaking to players who have sampled each of them, then it's likely you'll find equal amounts of Mei-haters and Mei-lovers. Her main weapon, the Endothermic Blaster, has two distinct firing modes that can take out even the strongest enemies when used in combination. By clicking the left-mouse button (or pulling the right trigger), she can continuously fire a stream of frost, which will both do damage to enemies and eventually freeze them in their tracks. Its secondary firing mode charges up a massive icicle, which does an insane amount of damage upon contact. Needless to say, the Endothermic Blaster has the potential to be ruthless against long-range foes while also making it relatively easy to deal with faster characters like Tracer and Genji.<br>

With Overwatch, the charming hero shooter from Blizzard, launching this week, we want to make sure that you're as prepared as possible to help your team dominate. Overwatch's main focus is clearly on the interplay between its dynamic characters, so in order to become competent, you'll need to understand how every character works. Throughout the week, we'll be publishing guides on each of the 21 launch heroes, three at a time, with the hopes that you'll be able to recognize certain patterns on the battlefield. Roadhog boasts one of the most effective ability combinations of any of [https://www.overwatchtactics.com/articles/overwatch-2-s-haunted-masquerade-the-mask-wearing-mayhem-that-s-breaking-all-the-rules.html Overwatch Halloween event]'s heroes. His Chain Hook allows him to pull in any hero to point blank range, meaning that it's pretty much a guaranteed kill for those who nail the timing and accuracy of this maneuver. The most effective Roadhog players will ensure that healers and frustrating characters like Tracer are the main priorities at the start of any given battle, as this will ensure that the opposing team is always at a disadvantage. In addition, Roadhog's second main skill, Take a Breather, allows him to heal a great portion of his own health, allowing him to stay on the front line of battle for far longer than pretty much every other hero outside of Reinhardt. Finally, Roadhog's ultimate is absolutely devastating, though it is equally difficult to control. His Whole Hog skill gives him the ability to transform his Scrap Gun into a massive automatic gatling gun, though the sheer amount of recoil makes this a far better option for close and medium range than long distance engagements. The recommendation here is to use Take a Breather to heal up to 600 hitpoints and then dive right onto the objective before activating Whole Hog. My single biggest complaint when it comes to Battleborn is how annoying all of its characters are to me. Now, this is about as subjective as it gets, and I've had discussions with players that find every inch of its universe charming as can be. To me, it often feels like Gearbox is trying way too hard to be funny, which results in Battleborn's characters all seeming like that annoying guy at your office who thinks he's a stand-up comedian. The fact that the While Overwatch doesn't have a core campaign, there is definitely a fair amount of lore to be discovered by sheer observation, and every character manages to nail that ever so important balance between charm and obnoxiousness. It says something that there is a dedicated way to turn off Battleborn's dialogue; after all, in a game whose dialogue is exceptionally well done, shouldn't including this option not be a possibility? Tracer's signature move is her Blink, which allows her to warp in any direction up to three times in a row. The key here is to make sure that you always have at least one blink at your disposal, as getting caught in a standard one-on-one firefight without movement abilities almost always leaves Tracer at a major disadvantage. One of the cooler aspects of her Blink is that it can totally be used to get across large gaps, allowing her to sneak around characters like Bastion and Widowmaker. Tracer's Recall ability allows her to rewind time in a manner similar to that seen in Super Time Force, allowing her to move back to a previous position. What makes this ability particularly special is that Tracer's ammo and health counts will be restored to whatever they were at that particular point in time, so this ability is absolutely crucial for fighting against characters with far more health than her. Finally, her ultimate is the Pulse Bomb, which is essentially a sticky grenade with a massive damage count and relatively low area of effect. Bear in mind that the Pulse Bomb can totally kill Tracer, so if you're looking to throw it into a crowd of enemies, make sure that you have your Blink or Recall available to get out of the danger zone. Another major factor in Overwatch's superior focus is its combat readability. In other words, it's far easier to recognize what's happening on the screen at any given moment and react accordingly. It's easy to figure out what powers each hero has, how they would use them in any given situation and the potential counters to each hero's strategy. The sheer amount of lunacy on the screen at any given moment does make Battleborn exciting, but it's often extremely tough to figure out the best strategy to take in a given encounter. What makes Overwatch special is that high-level play isn't hindered by its combat readability, so both new and old players have the potential to plan out their moves in the best way possible. Battleborn, for all of its chaos and excitement, doesn't necessarily do a great job communicating with the player (this can also be seen in its awkward menu system). Pharah's first core ability, known as Jump Jet, allows her to rapidly boost into the air. Aside from the fact that this is an awesome tactic for maneuvering around the map, it also presents Pharah players with a huge advantage, as most players are concentrated on ground-level encounters. Needless to say, any rockets that come from above will generally take the other team by surprise, so use this to your advantage. Her second ability, Concussive Blast, doesn't do a great deal of damage, but it has the ability to push enemies a significant distance. If you're looking to annoy the hell out of opposing snipers (or anyone during the second round of Capture on Nepal), try using this to push them off of the map. Finally, her ultimate, Barrage, causes her to remain stagnant while she unleashes an insane amount of rockets in the direction of her reticle. This is best utilized in combination with Jump Jet, but you should be aware that you're going to be a relatively easy target for those behind you, so try to plan accordingly.
