Find it funny how Mei heals when covered by ice... like all her friends died because the cryogenic freezing froze them to death... but she's just built different

[orionphalynx]

"Ashe likes to keep her enemies where she likes them."

Truly one of the quotes of all time.

[cetadel]

I love how even though it’s called “Deadeye” and Cassidy can also say “Step right up.” His ult is called High Noon by everyone

[chasegray]

I’m an esports coach for high schoolers, league of legends is my expertise but I’ve been watching your videos so i can better coach my overwatch team, keep the content coming so my guys can win more!

[gameboy]

That beginning for genji is so true. As a genji main myself, we can never get enough healing because we are to far away for everyone. Thats why we like people like Mercy or Ana because they can constantly heal us from afar

[bluejay]

From someone that played Genji nearly from the launch of OW1, a consistent defensive play style will not only carry you but your team as well. Being able to suddenly defend your supports or other dps let’s you turn fights in your favor extremely fast, especially if you can convert the kill into an ult where they are down a hero and usually out of position.
Offense is nice, but mastering how to defend your teammates can make you a force to be reckoned with

[obsessivelyobsessed]

I've been really loving tracer since I picked up DPS at the start of OW2.
In OW1 I treated the DPS role like it had every disease in the world, but now it seems to be the only role I enjoy in OW2, so thank you for this, it's helpful to have an explanation of some of the characters I never even considered playing before

[antoniosfermas]

Really helpful info for new players, great work! Just wanted to mention real quick that Sym’s ult can actually be destroyed. It has 4k HP and, while it would take a pretty good amount of burst to shut it down, a full Hog ult or a Cass ult locked onto at least 3 people behind the barrier will destroy it.

[gavalant]

Cassidy main, he's just satisfying to be good with and honestly the grenade change from a flashbang to a sticky grenade made me like him more.

[Chelle_Vibes]

Good lord. I was already impressed by your Hanzo triple kill clip, when I realized I was one of the players you killed in it. Small world I guess!

[Hetaroy]

I'm a experienced main Reaper. Just want to say one thing: With reaper o Cassidy keep in mind you are a bit vulnerable when you are not in the right position or far from your team and you are almost unable to move while using any of their ultimates. The best way to deal with this with both characters is to save your movement habilites and have them ready if you need to reposition yourself closer to your team and let them know when you have your ultimate ready so they can be more protective or agresive to give you a good chance to use it. Both of these characters can be good flankers, but if you want to flank plan your path and objectives first.

[vox]

absolutely love the content man! one slight detail, nano boost is still the champion of genjis blade combos because with the damage boost one slice plus a swift strike kills any 200 hp hero

[zsm]

He did a great job on Hanzo but he didn't mention that his sonar dart does as much damage as a fully charged arrow without needing to charge it so it's useful for killing an enemy who gets too close for comfort

[alohamikan]

My favorite character is the reaper guy. he is very powerfull. special move, honestly is one of the best in the game and so he comes equipped with these two revolvers and only takes about 3 or 4 shots to actually execute a kill so it comes really in handy specially when you come from the side.

[crimsonazalea]

I’m a sym main and it’s much more fun now you can hit with her orbs and easily tp out of tough situations with both abilities having a speed increase for ow 2. Great vid and editing!

[judgement]

Echo main here💙
*Play for those who like you, not for those who are strong. Motivation is the best skill.*
If you have enough experience, you can counter EVERYTHING, thanks to the wild damage from projectiles and a laser that ignores deflects, matrices, grasps etc. You have excellent mobility and escape at the same time (flying can be used as a dash and avoid all sorts of hooks, headshots, because the hitbox changes a lot at the moment of pressing).
You need to get used to hitting with projectiles, it can take several tens of hours, depending on your motivation, but then you will destroy everything in your path. Especially the damn genji, which is quite problematic to kill on other dps.
A very important tip: try to shoot from the ground more often. This will not only increase your accuracy and damage, but also protect you from unnecessary one-shots. Echo is primarily a melee character and her burst is unmatched. Of course sometimes it is useful to fly, but it is better not to abuse it at first.
When I first started playing echo, I thought that I should constantly fly. This is the dumbest thing I could do. Your primary fire is more of a shotgun. And it does REALLY BIG damage in heads you just need to land it (its easy)
In any dangerous situation, dash around the corner and generally play from the corners more often, since your hitbox is quite large. In a duel, you have no equal, but only if you hit well and track, if you don’t hit, just fly away for the nearest corner / rooftop.
But if you don't like the character herself and want to play her only cus shes strong, then echo is not your choice, i think. You need to feel every projectile and laser and then you will be the most versatile dps that can play in any mode.
Even in the deathmatch, where everyone playing hogs. Finishing them with a laser and demolishing their HP bar with two pokes is a separate buzz. And they won’t be able to hook you because you can do your burst damage and dash away.

[assimilater-quicktips]

You probably should have mentioned that Cassidy takes reduced damage while rolling. This can help him survive some forms of burst damage such as an enemy Cassidy grenade

[tyo_docg]

tried playing every charater since 2019, but hanzo just clicks with me, definitely my favorite character

[madmaxim]

I always broke them down in groups

Classics -Ashe Cassidy soldier 76 and sojourn -
pretty much basic hit scan fps style players with a main shot and a alternate shot usually with the same weapon they also have a grenade like ability and a limited mobile move

Flankers
- Reaper Sombra Tracer and gengi -

these heroes are great at getting around the center of the fight without being seen and then attacking from the side or from behind usually picking off healers or other squishes except for gengi all of them have a close range weapon an ability that allows them to move around the opponents unseen and a oh crap ability that lets them get out of trouble with some sort of movement gengi is somewhat similar although he has a longer range weapon and more constant movement and can also attack head on

Range
- widowmaker and Hanzo -
pretty self explanatory they are all about finding the perfect locations to hit perfect angles before the foe knows what happened

Flyers - Echo and pharaoh -
have more dimensional movement being able to use the air to attack without rebuke

Specials - Mei Junkrat torbjorn symmetra and bastion -
pretty much don’t fit into a group of hero’s as they are more unique in how there kit works some can be more niche then others

[kierarchaic]

You edited this so well!!! Great work as always 😁
