In Overwatch, you control one of several heroes in competitive 6-person team shooting matches. Battle over objectives, take down the other team, and achieve victory.
PLAYING YOUR ROLE
Offense heroes are the damage dealers on their team. Your goal: seek out, engage, and destroy the enemy.
Defense heroes control the battlefield, interrupting enemy attacks and fortifying locations. As a defense hero, your job is to stop the opposing team's advance.
Tank heroes soak damage and break apart fortified positions, like closely-grouped enemies and narrow chokepoints. If you're a tank, you lead the charge.
Support heroes empower their allies, healing and shielding them, boosting their damage, and providing vital utility. As support, you're the backbone of your team's survival.
