HEROISM FOR BEGINNERS By Sarah Rodriguez
Overwatch is a co-op multiplayer FPS from Blizzard, filled with tons of characters. Those characters come in four different roles: offense, defense, support and tank. Unlike many other games, players can switch between characters anytime they return to the starting area, but most gamers feel comfortable having a“ main”. So who should be your first hero? Here are our three recommendations.
Soldier 76
While slightly stereotypical, Soldier 76 is a great character for beginners who have any first-person shooter experience. His style is run-and-gun with the standard assault rifle, but he also comes with a handy area-of-effect heal and a rocket launcher! For the aiming challenged, his ultimate ability locks on targets, removing the need for actual skill, noob.
Bastion
Another familiar feeling assault rifle wielder, Bastion also comes with a handy dandy turret. Use the turret’ s shield to stay safe as you destroy anyone in your path. Along with a self heal and a cannon shot blasting ultimate, Bastion really lives up to his name.
Pharah
Slightly more challenging, Pharah uses a rocket launcher as her primary weapon. Take that, assault rifle. This hero can also go airborne and can shove enemies away from her, giving her more maneuverability and opening up more strategic options for players
