tdm hasn’t been in rotation for like 2 weeks. i’ve been saying for years it should be a permanent fixture but blizz went the opposite way😞

overwatch is still getting new players, which is great! after all these years, there are still people who have no idea what they’re doing. but that’s ok, we have a very supportive community willing to help you through the learning curve. just a few examples of what *not* to do….

1. lucio is not a dive character. that means don’t try to flank the enemy team and try to do…i don’t know what, but just don’t do that
2. widowmaker is not a frontline assault character. you might think it’s a good idea to rush face first into an enemy team and plant a poison mine while shooting wildly at nothing, but it’s not…don’t do that
3. more broad advice…if genji (the guy with the swords) is flinging them around wildly, stop shooting. if zarya (the big scary lady with a russian accent, not the big scary lady with an australian accent) has a big pinkish-purple bubble around her, stop shooting. if the big black dude has his fist in front him, stop shooting. if the floating guy has a little vortex in front of him, stop shooting. if the annoying mech has a weird buncha squares in front of her…wait patiently and then focus fire cuz she sucks, kill her whenever possible.
4. if you play sombra, delete the game

that’s about all i got off the top of my head, y’all feel free to add more constructive advice.

full disclosure, i never played ow1 but did pick up ow2 very close to day 1. i’m curious if og players can tell a difference from old v new players in these throwback matches. i sure as shit can…none of this makes sense and it’s awful.
