Overwatch: Ways to Step Up Your Game

I just had a few thoughts I wanted to share on how Overwatch functions and what is the optimal way to play the game. This is based on really low level play and I'm using high level advice as well as my own low level experience and observations on games that go well.

"Skill" is not that Important
Accuracy and traditional FPS skill is important but it's not as important as a lot of people might think. There are far more important factors that go into winning a match than accuracy. Besides that, there are many great characters that do their most important functions with very little aiming such as Lucio, Winston, Zenyatta, and Reinhardt.

Organization is Key
This is a really important concept that I am shocked at how many players do not understand. It does not matter how the team is organized, but most of the time the more organized team will win. This can be either intentional or unintentional.
Just communicate with your team. It's OK to want to go absolutely blitzkrieg-aggressive, just let your team know to go blitzkrieg-aggressive too and do it TOGETHER. 

What often happens is one team gets on the point and survives together, with little to no communication, and they win. This is usually unintentional organization but if you are a beginner like me, you will have these games. What is important to recognize is the team that won had 6 people fighting 1-4 people at a time. Maybe. The team that lost is often staggering their respawns and just feeding the other teams Ult charges. That's it. You have no chance in this game in a 1-4 vs 6 unless you have a pretty good Ult strategy. Just organize and go in together as 6 vs 6.

Know Your Character's Value
This can be creative, but take at least a little time to figure out what your character is supposed to do. This means that when you're playing Ana, you can do damage...but you are mainly a healer. Focus on that. When you're Winston, know that you will do the most help for a team chasing down the healers. There are a hundred guides on these and I might focus on in the future but take some time to learn or ask.

You can get creative and step outside your main value when necessary but you need to focus on your main value FIRST.

That's all for today. I might do a value guide for characters as soon as I come up with a format.
