🎮 Beginner Tips
- Learn roles: Tank (space), DPS (damage), Support (heal) — try all
- Start with easy heroes: Soldier: 76 (DPS), Mercy (Support), Reinhardt (Tank)
- Stay with team: Overwatch is team-based — don't go alone
- Use abilities: Don't just shoot — abilities win fights
- Ultimate combos: Coordinate ultimates with team for team wipes
💡 Play Quick Play first to learn heroes before Competitive.
⚔️ Hero Categories
- Tank: Reinhardt, D.Va, Winston, Sigma — create space, protect team
- DPS: Soldier: 76, Tracer, Genji, Ashe — deal damage, get picks
- Support: Mercy, Lucio, Ana, Kiriko — heal, enable team
🏆 Ranked Tips
- Communicate: Use pings and voice chat
- Flex picks: Be willing to switch heroes to counter enemy
- Track ultimates: Know when enemy ults are ready
- Don't tilt: One loss doesn't matter — focus on next game
🛡 Tank Picks and Space
- Orisa: spear throw cancels dives; fortify holds a choke without a healer pocket
- Sigma: grasp eats projectile ultimates - use it on reaction, not preemptively
- Reinhardt: only works with a Lucio or Kiriko who can follow the charge
- Space is taken by walking forward behind cover, not by diving the backline alone
💉 Support Rules
- Kiriko's suzu cleanses anti-heal - save it for the second grenade, not the first
- Ana's biotic grenade decides tank fights; landing it on the enemy tank wins the next five seconds
- Heal priority: your co-support first, then the tank, then DPS - a dead co-support ends the fight
🎯 Ult Economy
- Don't stack ults; one fight-winning ult plus one save ult is the standard pairing
- Trading ults is fine only if you keep the point - a three-for-one trade on defence loses the round
- Staggering: if a teammate dies first, wait and regroup instead of feeding one by one
