i've never even touched overwatch before, however a couple friends of mine play it, so i've been looking to get into it. what should i know and or learn before i start playing? will it feel similar to apex legends at all, or is it a completely different game? thanks in advance for any help i might be given ^_^

I'm GM on DPS but plat on tank because this role feels so useless, which I know isn't true.

Every time I play Ramattra I try and shoot enemy DPS on off angles and shoot supports heres a Rialto code: Z3KWEN (i'm DIGLET)

This game felt like a nothing burger, it felt like I was just shooting staff while we were down one all game and I didn't know what else I could do for my team other than literally just run them over faster. We were doing good till they also went Ram so I could punish them as bad and their team had more mitigation cause everyone was shooting Ram during team fights and not their backline.

I usually just force myself on Ball because he's the only person I can win with consistently and feel like I have an impact because I'm ball but on other tanks I feel cosmetic but Ram is so cool and I have fun playing him until I feel like I'm not doing anything which I suppose is everyone.

The question in the title is serious and as direct as possible, I know DPS theory very well: angle-checking, map control, attention pulling, cooldown baiting, applying pressure, etc. These all feel very tangible easily let me see how I can impact my games...

but on Tank?

I feel like there is nothing I can do to change the outcomes of my games other than just kill the enemy team faster but that's literally every role so I know I'm missing something.

A long bit ago, I used to play CSGO. I played a good 100 hours of it in comp, and over time I found myself becoming more and more afraid of letting my team down. Eventually, this pushed me to quit the game entirely by CS2. Fast forwarding to now, I've decided to try Overwatch and really like it. And I wanna start quick play and eventually competitive. But my brain has so much anxiety that it causes me to screw around avoiding playing.

The thought of just hopping into a quickplay game raw without any previous experience flares me up and makes me start second guessing. I've been just playing bot matches to gain some gameplay experience, but that doesn't prepare me for the real matchmaking. I'm also having a tough time narrowing down my preferred characters to main too. And overall, coming in fresh has got me tense.

So, what are good casual gamemodes to start off with, characters to learn, practices to start ingraining early? And how would you help a noob from starting into the main gamemodes and eventually competitive pool?

Just had a game where I got absolutely eviscerated by these two and it felt like there was nothing I could do against it. I mainly play Dva and Ram, both of which felt completely unplayable in the matchup due to me getting blown up the second I popped out of cover. I also play Sig, but they had a really aggro tank who was always just running at me as either Rein or Mauga and I couldnt deal with him and his team at the same time. What do I do about this in future games? Besides just banning Ana, lmao. Im Plat 3 tank if that matters.

Hey all,

I have no problem when I'm queueing with friends, or end up with a good team, but when I play solo queue, sometimes my team ends up being a mess. I'm looking for who to try learning for when my tank isn't reliable enough and I have to try harder to carry (while still healing). So far I've had the best luck with Kiriko / Juno. I also like Lucio and Zenyatta, but am having trouble getting the most value out of them without team cooperation, and Moira, but not having any utility feels kinda meh.

Hey, everyone! In this video I talk about how to control space as Mizuki by taking proper angles and supporting your active teammates. Hope you enjoy it!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Map control

- Do not just play behind your tank → take 90-degree off-angles - Enable teammates taking aggressive offangles (especially dps) - Make sure to sync your pressure with the rest of your team

2. Resources specifics

-Use your shift (teleport) to take deeper angles → apply pressure and divert enemy attention -Your Chain allows you to feel protected on the angle if you or your teammates get pushed OR you can look for aggressive plays to get kills -The Aura: Do not stress staying with your entire group, enable active angles instead → change your positioning based on situation
