By far the easiest support to use in the game, Mercy's healing is extremely powerful and efficient , being able to completely save characters with critical health during dire situations. She can also choose to increase damage instead of healing, helping your teammates to perform even better than before. She can be quite mobile, though her mobility relies on having allies around her, and her ultimate allows her to heal or increase damage to multiple allies at o

Get close. Shoot. Repeat. Okay, it's a bit more than that, but Reaper is a simple and good character for those who like to fight at a close range. His abilities are mostly made for moving around, with a teleport perfect for flanking and his Wraith Form that allows him to escape complicated situati

Zenyatta's Ultimate, Transcendence , is an extremely powerful defensive ability that can save your team in a crisis . Zenyatta has a relatively low Ultimate charge rate , meaning you won't be able to use it as much as other Ultimates throughout the course of a match. Instead, Transcendence is best saved for blocking enemy Ultimates that deal high, consistent damage over a short period of time , like Genji, Hanzo, Mei, Ashe, or Soldier:

Whether old or new, Eichenwalde is still among the best of the best of what Overwatch 2 Weapons can offer. The map takes place in an abandoned town in Germany, overgrown with nature. There's a certain somberness to it as you fight through the city with the payl

Additionally, you can slightly track the position of an enemy suffering Orb of Discord behind walls thanks to the icon that is present above them. Using this, you can set up a charged Orb of Destruction volley on an enemy rounding a corner , or determine their general location after moving behind a wall. This information can also be relayed to your team in voice c

Another character with no recoil (a common thing among the robot characters), Bastion is a lot more aggressive, at the cost of being squishier. Bastion has a devastating damage output, from his gun, sticky grenades, and his turret form, with a temporary rotating cannon that gives him unlimited ammo during this t

Zenyatta is an offensive Support Hero in Overwatch 2 . As an Omnic monk, Zenyatta balances the forces of harmony and discord to support his team while hindering the enemy. Although he has a simple set of abilities, Zenyatta is one of the most difficult characters to mas

Using Transcendence to block these Ultimates can save your team, while allowing them to counterattack against the source of the Ultimate. However, don't be afraid to use Transcendence if your team is dying to normal attacks and abilities . As a support Hero, your number one goal is to keep your team al

Though not all changes to the original game feel entirely welcome. Developers have gone to great lengths to explain each new take, but some still leave returning players puzzled and, in some cases, wishing the first game hadn't kicked the bucket. Let's take a closer look at some of those updates that leave Mercy spamming her "Questionable Judgment" voice line until the game's "story mode" comes

Counterpicking and switching to the hero your team needs is integral to Overwatch, and especially important on Push. If your team is getting destroyed by a Roadhog, consider picking Reaper. If you need to take out a pesky Junkrat, Widowmaker might suit you w

Place an orb on the target that debuffs them, increasing the damage they take. The Orb of Discord will remain on its target while they are within Zenyatta's field of vision, but will be removed if the target is out of range for 2 seco

The thrill of finally hitting a high enough level to reset your profile "frame", now occupied with another "star", was incredibly satisfying. Not only were you continually paired with equally experienced players, increasing your challenge, but it was your street cred! People with silver, gold, or dare we say, platinum frames carried with them fear of their potential toughness. A sense of personal pride has been taken away with this change, and with your rank now resetting at the start of each new season, something feels empty about your pursuit of progress, now only marked by an epic skin for hitting the max rank on the Battle P

Players finally get to go to Lúcio's home in Brazil, and it fully lives up to expectations. Paraíso is full of bright colors and amazing vistas that make you wish you were there in real life. The beach, with its view of skyscrapers and mountains in the distance, is one of the most beautiful sights in the g

The map has seen a change from nighttime to early morning, making it easier to appreciate all the sights. Otherwise, Lijiang Tower still holds up as an excellent control point map. Its points are designed to be circular regardless of where you are, ensuring you'll meet up with an enemy player sooner or la

Soldier 76 is the default assault character , whose gameplay even mimics straightforward FPS games. He's good at both close and mid ranges, is capable of healing himself and close allies, has a powerful missile attack, and his ultimate is essentially an aim-
