Widowmaker

Widowmaker is currently my favorite defensive player so I thought I might as well say something about playing her and give a few tips and tricks I have picked up along the way. Widowmaker is a sniper who excels at sitting in the back and picking off the enemies one by one, always keeping the numbers in her teams favor and making it harder for the enemy to be able to engage. Widowmaker's primary fire has two forms, when she is not scoped in it is a spray of machine gun fire that is inaccurate a long ranges and should not be used very often, unless someone gets too close. When scoped in Widowmaker's primary fire become a sniper shot that charges up from 0% to 100% dealing more damage at higher percentages. A fully charged shot to the head deals 300 damage which is enough to one shot kill any enemy who isn't a tank and two shot kill any tank. For this reason it is important to aim for the head and always fully charge your weapon unless you are shooting at someone who has already taken a good bit of damage and you are just trying to finish them off. At this point it is fine to not fully charge the shot because you may not need all of that extra damage and it will let you fire faster because you don't have to wait for it to charge. Widow's shift ability is a grappling hook that allows her to pull herself up to ledges and buildings. This is best used for repositioning, getting to high ground, and escaping close fights. The E ability is a venom mine that Widow can lay down that deals damage to enemies over time. Its is best to set this mine up behind you to stop and flankers from getting behind you and killing you. The ultimate ability is a sight that allows all enemies to be seen through walls by you and your team. This is best used to find where the team is coming from and to help line up head shots for when an enemy is about to come out from behind a wall, or around a corner. As widow you usually want to get the high ground and be looking down on your opponent from behind you team, and constantly be moving around, do not stay in the same spot. This makes you less vulnerable to being picked off, and gives you the best angle to take out your opponents.

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. I would recomme

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
