Would it be a good idea to give new players some of the basic strategies? I think it would be an easy thing to add into the game that would improve the matches a lot. There’s a lot of strategy that most players wouldn’t know unless they’re told by someone or they look it up online.
Things like:
- try to enter a fight at the same time as your teammates
- try to save ultimates for when they’re needed to win a fight, not when you’ve already won or lost a fight
- keep your tank healed while they’re out in front or moving the payload
- try to focus on healing if you’re playing support
- prioritize damage to weaker targets
- try to retreat or die quick if the fight is lost
With lots of new players in the game, the games would be a lot better quality if the new players were made aware of the basic strategies. They seem like obvious things to people that have played the game a long time, but for new players they need to be told these things.
If you agree, please comment so this post gets more attention. Thanks!

I started playing OW2 right about at the end of season 7. I have really grown to love this game but it hasn’t been until recently, after a year of playing the game and countless hours of youtube tutorials, I feel like I have a pretty basic fundamental understanding of how each role is to be applied towards helping the team reach an objective.
This process takes such a long time for new players. Imagine if I hadn’t taken the personal time to seek strategic advantages from more experienced players through a different media. It would have taken even longer and perhaps I may have never learned.
I can’t stress enough how painful it is to play a comp game with someone who seemly has no clue how to apply their utility towards the objective and teammates. Sometimes they even lack the knowledge to gain cover or completely disregard the objective.
a comprehensive tutorial on positioning, abilites, team comps, counters, objectives, timing, etc. would make the gameplay overall I think a much better experience for new and experienced OW players.
The frustration of playing a game that is heavily reliant on teammates, where those teammates may not have a basic fundamental understanding of how the game is to be played, is so hard to cope with lol
