Overwatch is an interesting phenomenon in the gaming world. He is no ordinary shooter game, nor is MOBA. The number of character choices gives its own uniqueness without intimidating and burdening players with formulas that must be memorized. Instead, Overwatch is the most friendly multiplayer shooter game for beginners.... Easy to learn, but hard to master, that's the Overwatch mantra. If you have not had time to try it, I highly recommend this game for all gamers - even for those who are not shooter fans. And if it just happens to start it, or is trying to improve the quality of play, you arrive at the right place. Through this article, I will share some tips on Overwatch playing.

1. Play and learn all the characters, and do not hesitate to change hero when needed

It is inevitable that some Overwatch characters will be your favorite Hero, and in fact there are many gamers playing one or two characters exclusively. But we need to know that in essence, the Overwatch representation resembles the principle of a paper-scissor game, where one hero is more effective in dealing with other heroes. For example: Genji's agility, he is no match for Winston, and Winston is an easy target for the Reaper.

By testing all heroes, you can know their weaknesses and strengths. Overwatch also allows us to change the characters in the middle of the game, and you should not hesitate to switch to another hero when needed. One more thing: always take note of team composition. A balanced team structure will make it easier for you to win...

2. The role of tank and support is needed

So a sniper or confusing your opponent by using Tracer's nimble does look cool, but the match is generally determined by the effectiveness of the tank as well as the support - you must be really good at playing offense or defense so you can win matches.
Unlike in other games, the role of the hero tank and support in Overwatch is not at all boring and feels distinctive: Mercy has the highest healing rate, but Speed Boost Lúcio can help comrades escape from Deadeye McCree. So did the tanks; The Winrier's Barrier Projector does provide overall protection, but Reinhardt's Barrier Field can fend off more attacks...

# 3. Keep Communicating

If playing on PC, the '`' button in the top left corner of the keyboard will activate the voice chat function, allowing you to chat directly with your teammates. Communication is very important, it can save the comrades from the ambush of the enemy, such as Bastion hiding in the corner of the room. If you are not in the mood to speak, Blizzard also provides dialogue wheel, presents shortcut to commands like 'group up', notification 'need healing' and others. Make access to it, just press the 'C' key.

# 4. Put your ears in good shape

Audio is one of the important elements in Overwatch, and using an adequate headset is highly recommended. In the game, the enemy's moves will be clearer - and the heavier the sound, the more dangerous your opponent will be. Gradually, you will also understand a variety of audio instructions. For example, phrases like "It's high noon," "Nerf this!" Or "Justice rains from above!" Indicate that the opponent is expelling their ultimate skills, and you should quickly seek refuge. Oh sometimes, teammates who always turn on the mic can be very annoying. The solution is to turn on the mute function via the Social option

5. Do not hesitate to shoot

In Overwatch, players will never run out of ammunition, and one effective way of filling the ultimate skill meter is to shoot an opponent. And in this way too, you can learn how weapons work each hero: Hanzo's hitbox and movement, the speed of the Pharah rocket, until the gap between the trigger and the escape of the ice projectile from Endothermic Blaster May.

As long as you play, you will uncover hidden secrets in Overwatch: shortcuts to start your opponent up to a combination of some ultimate skills. All this will be better understood by spending more time playing Overwatch.
My last suggestion is do not hesitate to experiment with new things and challenge yourself out of your comfort zone.
