Overwatch 2 Players Want Loot Boxes Back

Support and DPS players now slip into the role of tank, whether consciously or not. Brigitte often helps with pushing by using her much-weaker shield when there’s an offensive tank in play, while Lucio relies on his ultimate to essentially turn everyone into a tank, making that the way to push in losing games. There’s clearly a void that people are scrambling to fill, and it’s only made Overwatch even less intuitive to get into. New tanks now have to play the role completely solo, leaving little room for error, and if they do fail, it’s up to the DPS and support to try and fill their sh


On payload and other defend-and-attack maps, shield-based tanks are now the best bet, leaving other picks less viable. It’s much harder to defend your team with a hook and some healing juice, but that’s no fault of tanks like Roadhog - they’re not meant to be the defenders, they’re there to draw aggro and Overwatch2Tactics.com punish lone wolves. It can still work playing offense-based tanks with the right player, but it takes a lot of skill, and that means lower-ranked matches are a headache. You have to know how to push, stay alive, and defend the team all at once, and failing that brings everyone down. Throw in a damage-focused healer and you have a constant stream of marching into the line of fire and then sitting in spectate waiting to respawn. There’s a reason team kills have become frequent enough to warrant their own challen


New support hero Kiriko has finally been added to the competitive pool following a two-week absence to allow everyone to get used to the new game. She was still available to play in other modes - as long as you had Overwatch 1, bought her through the premium battle pass, or grinded the standard pass up to tier 55 - but she was kept out of competitive to give the pros time to adjust to hero twe


Most of this frustration appears to come down to the fact that Overwatch 2 brought the team size down from six to five. This means there's only one Tank per team, making their choice even more essential. So if there's a clear winner in the category, there isn't much room for experimentat


With how Blizzard is handling these issues, Overwatch 2 players are worried that their favourite Hero will be the next to get sidelined. Plenty are already theorising on who is next in line for the temporary chopping block, with Brigitte being the common consensus . She can create an invincible shield with the help of Kiriko – a major exploit that could potentially ruin ga


Overwatch is dead. Long live Overwatch 2. The sequel has already garnered more than 25 million players so we’re going to keep a close eye on what this burgeoning community gets up to. From early bugs to progression woes and players not playing the damn game properly, here’s everything of note that happened in Overwatch 2 last w


Tank is its own role but it comes in two parts - offensive and defensive. You have Reinhardt, Zarya, Orissa, and the like playing defensive, but then you have tanks like Roadhog, Winston, and D.Va who contrast the protective role. Combining offense and defense meant you had someone to defend you from incoming attacks, making it possible to push as a group, while the second tank fought back and kept everyone alive by sponging damage and doling out plenty of their own. These tanks could even work well as flank


Support playing as DPS is inevitable with this meta, though. If a flanking Genji or Reaper gets behind the line, you have to fight back, but it’s often too late if you wait for that moment. That means you have to be on the offensive, or you risk getting killed and being spammed with ironic ‘thanks’ and constant ‘I-need-healing’ in the chat. Yeah, I get it, but I was left on my own to fight the two DPS’ and a pushing tank. Healing the 50 damage you took isn’t high on my list of priorities right


I was ready to call it quits and decide that I’d been right, Overwatch simply wasn’t for me, when I misclicked while swapping heroes and ended up as Junkrat. His opening battle cry, "I’ll keep trying till I run out of limbs!" tickled me immediately. "Plenty of bombs to go around!" is a great one, too. I spent two hours playing as him and had a blast, pun inten


Furthermore, Zarya's Overwatch 2 buffs made her a clear winner. In the sequel, she was given 50 extra hit points and five more points to her shield. But the real selling points here are her Barriers, which had their duration increased by half a second. While this might not sound like much, this can make all the difference in a fight, especially when Overwatch 2 is much more fast-paced in gene


Junkrat’s persona and weaponry perfectly parallel the chaos of fighting in Overwatch, but his abilities subtly let me learn more about the maps and how to manipulate my foes’ positions. He blends quirky fun with abilities that are outlandish enough to be engaging, but not so out there that they’re confusing to newcom
