If a new player asked you

Well… Here is what I love about this game. I would ask the person what kind of games they enjoy playing or play the best in the past?

I followed an old time philosophy in games of “Turrets=Safe” I just like turrets and area denial, so Symm and Torb have always worked amazing for me.

At the same time, if someone has no background in FPS games, but wants to get better at it, Overwatch does have a beautiful cast of characters to scaffold being a good Hitscan player.

  1. Start Moira because it’s forgiving and gets the player to more accommodatingly keep the cursor on the target.
  2. Move to Zarya/Symm(LMB) because it is isn’t as forgiving as Moira, but makes the player keep the target on the enemy model to hit.
  3. Move up to Bastion (Recon) and S76. Autofire makes it a little more forgiving, but now they have to learn to control it to get better with burst fire.
  4. Move on to McCree/Ashe(Maybe)/Ana(Scoped) You’re getting a slower RoF, but you have to make them count more.
  5. Move on to Widowmaker Now you’re at the phase of making every shot count and learning things like flicks.

…I like education concepts/practices…
