I have been playing Overwatch for the most part lately, besides a little bit of Street Fighter and I am still loving it. It's a really exciting mix of MOBA and FPS that feels fantastic. The great thing about it is that being good at FPS is good, but not key. The important thing is to do your job. I have been playing mainly support characters and I have a few beginners tips for them.
1. Supports are for Healing
Your main focus as a support role is to heal. DPS is second. You can absolutely get kills and do good damage to the enemy team, but first and foremost you should try and stay alive so that the rest of your team also stays alive. This includes Ana. She does good damage and can do some really good offensive things but she is the best healer in the game and should focus on that.
2.Try to Have Two Healers
I think having two healers CAN be more far more important than having two of any of the other classes. If you are constantly healed, you won't die. Not dying is really important in this game. The other reason is that having two healers will cover the weaknesses of the healers. Lucio is an AOE (area of effect) healer, but heals slowly. Plus, his speed boost can be really important. It is usually not a great idea to have him solo healing. Ana is the best healer and probably will continue to be so even after a patch, but she has to pay attention to all your heroes positions to properly heal them. Lucio and Ana offer great synergy. Other combinations can be equally strong, or at least better than none.
3. Lucio's Speed Boost is Really Useful
It's really good for engagements and this deserves it's own section. It's seriously great for the added mobility, chasing down targets, and just adds an extra layer to your teams offense. It's super important. Turn speed boost on when moving into position, such as engaging with a defensive position of the enemy. Once in position, switch to healing to keep your team alive.
That's about all I have for today but I'll be updating this as I come up with new tips to help your game.
