Overwatch is already a year out, it is still very popular among gamers. I have made a list of the best Overwatch tips for everyone who starts now, because with which of the 26 characters can you start the best?

Soldier 76 (attack)

The first of the ten best Overwatch tips is about Soldier 76. He has a total of five skills to use. This includes his automatic weapon and Helix missiles. To help team members quickly, this hero has a sprint.

This character is easy to control with a simple weapon and a general role. The character is quick, has a good weapon, heals himself and the team with a beacon and also has a powerful secondary weapon.

Pharah (attack)

This character can be used for both a difficult role and an easier role. Pharah has a rocket launcher and jet pack with which she easily avoids the lasers, bullets and bombs of enemies. I experienced that it makes it easy to separate from your team and go solo.

This would make it more difficult to defeat enemies as you are alone. So try to stay mainly with your team for easier gameplay and only go solo when you are ready. Furthermore, Pharah has a blast that repels enemies and a skill that fires minirakets.

Reaper (attack)

Reaper should not be missed in our best Overwatch tips, because in the shadows the Reaper is literally lurking. This character has the ability to change into a shadow and then no longer sustains any damage. The Reaper defeats his enemies by using double shotguns, with death blossom they can be fired quickly.

It takes a while to get this character under control. Especially with the Shadow Step skill . This allows players to select an area on the ground where the Reaper can teleport. If you get the hang of it, you can quickly perform tactical gameplay.

Mei (defense)

This icy character has a strategic role in the field, which can be mastered fairly quickly. Yet i also have one of the best Overwatch tips for her. With her blaster weapon she can freeze enemies gradually or fire icy spears, these are very effective at a medium distance. When it becomes too chaotic, Mei can freeze itself in an ice block and then heals itself automatically.

The defending role of Mei revolves mainly around the ice wall that it can create. Through the wall players can not see what is on the other side and can not be shot through. This character plays an important role in the team, so if you like a challenge it is definitely recommended.

Bastion (defense)

This do-it-yourself robot has the ability to transform. With this special skill the player can change into three different forms: a mobile Bastion, a sentry and a tank.

These configurations allow players to easily adapt themselves to the fighting that takes place and to the different game modes. Bastion can repair itself in case of damage, but the help of a healer would of course be the best, especially in the sentry and tank form.

D.Va (tank)

DVa has many skills that can best be mastered by simply playing. There are two versions available for DVa. When she is badly damaged, she will abandon her mech and go on without a suit. Because she can recall it later, this is the perfect character to play with if you want to try out tanks.

The mech of DVa has a cannon to defeat enemies, a booster for speed and a defensive mechanism that blocks attacks. It is also possible to inflate the mechpack manually, this can best be done when the player runs into an area full of enemies.

Reinhardt (tank)

This character has an easy but big role on the battlefield. This is why Reinhardt also receives attention in these best Overwatch tips. He serves as a great defense for his team. With a portable shield the character can reduce the enemy while teammates shoot through the shield.

In addition to a shield, Reinhardt has a hammer that he makes enemies with. He can also use this weapon to perform a fire strike in which a burning projectile fires. To top it off, this hero can run off on his enemies and squash it against a wall, for example.

Roadhog (tank)

This character is also a do-it-yourselfer, but in the form of a man and a pig. He can do a lot of damage but can heal himself afterwards. It is best to have a healer in your team and a tank that can work together. If that is not an option, the character can use 'take a breather' to heal himself.

The Roadhog is not very fast, but this can be compensated with its chain hook skill. With this he can grab his enemies with a hook and then pull towards him. Because of his ability to heal himself and his strong attacks, this character is good to start with.

Lúcio (support)

The hero Lúcio plays a big role in supporting teammates. This character is all about music, this is reflected in all his skills. He can attack players with his sonic amplifier and protect teammates with shields.

His music also comes in handy when heals other players. With the skill crossfade he can perform two different actions: heal himself and teammates or give a boost to the speed of players. There is also a special skill for healing players.

Mercy (support)

One of the most important roles in a team is that of a healer, of these best Overwatch tips the last, and Mercy is the character you have to play to become familiar with the role. Within the team it is Mercy's job to keep everyone alive, but of course this is not always possible. Collaboration is very important when you play as Mercy, as Mercy players should focus on healing the most powerful person in the team (usually tank or defense).

With her staff she can bring teammates to life, but if there are no teammates left to heal you can switch to her blaster weapon. This weapon is still amazingly powerful, but shooting heroes on tank does not make much sense. If players are in need, Mercy can quickly fly to them with the guardian angel skill.
