DPS Role

The DPS role is usually the most sought after role in the game because it is the one that is able to do the most damage, get the kills, and have all of the glory. As the DPS you are supposed to be focusing the enemy team's healers, then their DPS players, then their tanks, in that order. The reason for this is because if you were to focus on any of the other characters on their team, their healers would just continue to heal them up while their DPS characters took out the healers on your team, making all damage to you and to the tanks permanent, and causing the fight to be uneven, and giving the advantage to the other team. The characters who belong to the DPS role are Genji, Mcree, Pharah, Reaper, Soldier 76, Sombra, and Tracer. Out of this list, my personal favorites are Genji, Pharah, and Soldier 76, but all characters are viable and could be very good if you only practice with them. Getting the aim down on these characters and knowing who to be fighting and when to be fighting them are the most important things when it comes to getting better and moving up through the ranks. We have already talked about who you should be focusing so now moving on to the aiming part, head shots deal a great amount of extra damage but are harder to hit, so while you usually want to b aiming for the head, it is sometimes better to hit body shots when a target is low to make them easier to hit.A good way to practice and hopefully master aiming with these characters is to go into a custom game where it is just you against 6 Ana bots and set the options to where only head shots deal damage. It is very important to pick Ana for two reasons, one she has a very small head hit box which will force your aim to be more precise, and two it is impossible for her to hit head shots so you will never die. Only being able to hit head shots will make your aim more precise and reliable. If you go into the practice tool you can even set the speed of enemy movement to be either lower or higher than normal, making the shots harder or easier to hit based on how strong your aim is with your character, I recommend doing this whenever you plan to pick up a new DPS character so you can be a more reliable teammate, and have a higher impact on the game.

Genji

Now I would like to talk about playing Genji because he is my personal favorite hero for both solo play and with friends. Genji is a dps character who excels at diving into the back line of the enemy team and taking out their healers before the actual fight even breaks out, leaving the rest of the team without heals and vulnerable to being dove on and taken out. Genji’s primary fire is three shurikens thrown in a straight line at wherever the cursor is pointing. This fire is highly effective against targets that are long or medium range, or skinnier targets if you have the aim to land note than one shuriken per burst. The secondary fire is a fan-like cone shape throw of three shurikens that move at the same speed but spread out into the cone shape as they travel. This fire is very effective at close range because it can be fired faster than the primary fire, and at very close ranges, or against large characters it can be very easy to land multiple hits with one throw.

Reinhardt

I would like to talk about play Reinhardt because he is my favorite of all of the tanks in the game and he can fit into nearly any team comp. Rein is good on offense because he is able to shield his teammates while they heal or do damage, but he is also good at charging in and getting as pick on the enemy team to turn the numbers in his favor. Rein is also good on defense because he can sit at any choke point with his shield up and stop enemies from shooting through or walking through into his teammates. Rein's primary fire is a swing of his hammer that does 75 damage per hit, killing most dps characters with only three swings. His secondary fire puts up a shield with 2000 health that the enemy cannot shoot through but that his own team can. You can not swing while the shield is up and it does cause you to walk slower. His shift ability is a charge that cannot be canceled once it is started but that will pin any enemy it hits to whichever wall he collides with first, which will kil

Ana

Now I would like to talk about playing Ana, because she is my favorite healer and I don't think she is always played correctly in the lower ranks. Ana Is a healer that excels at sitting in the back and healing up her team with her healing darts and neutralizing enemies that may happen to break through into her team. As Ana you should always be looking at your teammates health bars and being sure to fire at and heal up any teammates who are taking damage, paying especially close attention to your tanks. Ana's primary fire is a dart that damages enemies or heals teammates. This means that you cannot shoot through teammates and damage enemies like you can with other characters so be careful about that. While scoped in, Ana's shots are hit scan meaning that hit immediately, but when not scoped, her shots have a bit of travel time you'll have to account for. Ana's shift ability is a sleep dart that will put enemies to sleep for a period of time, taking them out of the
