This is a game about teamwork. And teamwork starts with character selection. Your team has a Reinhardt. Their team has a Torbjorn.

Who do you pick? Every character in Overwatch has upshots and weaknesses, and the other people on your team are able to provide you with benefits if you pick the right characters to go with them.

That means everyone does better if you match Winston with Mei than if you match Genji with defenders.

Shooter players love sniping. Plus, most people are actually pretty bad at it, even though Overwatch is very forgiving with aiming.

Bad snipers are like having a shorthanded team. Think twice before you add another Hanzo to the squad. This is a common trap to fall into when defending.

Tons of teams lose right here. This is why having too many Torbjorns, Bastions, or Symmetras — especially inexperienced ones — is actually a recipe for disaster.

This means you have to FORCE opportunities, through poke damage, soft dives, abilities, and ultimates. You pressure the enemy until someone is vulnerable.

Poke damage can drop someone low enough to be dove on, such as from Echo. Soft dives are when you jump onto an enemy team for a brief moment, just to draw out abilities, but quickly fall back down or back to cover so that you can replentish resources before diving again while the enemy team is still recovering.

Dive into Spam: A Dive comp is strong against a Spam comp because a spam comp wants to play in separated units around the map.

You essentially just set up to dive on an isolated target from multiple angles, and once everyone is ready, you go for it. However, after you dive a target, remember to take a moment to reset and get your resources back before reengaging.

Control the map. When you see a Brawl comp is going to be coming towards a unit, kite back retreat so that you can increase the distance between you and the Brawl unit.

Remember, the further the distance between you and your enemy, the more time it takes for them to get to you, and the more time they need, the less resources they have by the time they reach you.

Once the Brawl comp has no resources, you can engage them more aggressively. Spam into Dive: A Dive comp is a very difficult matchup for a Spam comp.

A Spam comp wants to be split, but Dive isolates and kills. So you have to control the map without isolating yourself as much.

Beyond that, maximize distance from the diving enemies similar to brawl , and then use your tanks as bait on point.

A Hybrid composition uses heroes who fit into different categories on a single team. They trade focusing on single traits for more flexibility and having multiple win conditions.

Essentially they combine the weaknesses and strengths of each composition. In my example of Spam heroes, I gave Hanzo and Sigma.

They both create strong angle pressure. However, what about Hanzo and Winston? Find out the most successful heroes at your rank in this meta.
