Welcome! This is an Overwatch heroes guide! Here I will teach you some tips and tricks to each Overwatch character, these characters are organized by their type,


So what is Overwatch? Overwatch is a team-based shooter made by the company Blizzard. (Who also made World Of Warcraft) The objective of the game is to use teamwork with 5 others (depending on the game mode) and try to either capture points, escrot objects to destinations, or kill everyone on the other team.


There are 4 classes of heroes in this game, there is Offence, Defence, Tanks, and Support. It's pretty self explanitory on what they do. Offence is best for attacking, Defence is best for defending, Tanks are the heavy hitters and can soak up a lot of damage, and Support can heal or damage boost the other teamates.


Every hero has a counter and is stronger to another hero, which is where the "rock, paper, scissors" element comes into play,

The story is not told in the game at all, rather in animated shorts and comics, the game has nothing to do with the story itself! The story: The game takes place in a fictionalised version of Earth 60 years into the future. Overwatch was an organisation formed by Earth's United Nations 30 years earlier. I say "was" because it was destroyed, torn apart by allegations and in-fighting and eventually an explosion at the Swiss headquarters that reportedly killed two of its founding and leading members, Gabriel Reyes and John "Jack" Morrison, and maybe Ana Amari, Pharah's mother. Overwatch was disbanded and declared illegal, and all agents associated with it scattered to the wind. That was six years ago. But once upon a time Overwatch was great, held aloft and cheered around the world. It was a super-team created to end the Omnic Crisis - omnic robots turned bad (or was it robots awakening from slavery and rebelling?). For years the omnics had served humans, churned out by huge omnium factories, but something went wrong just over 30 years ago. God programs - AI super-brains - took over the omniums and turned omnics against humans, equipping them for war, and the Omnic Crisis began. The omnics had taken over most of the world but with the help of Overwatch they were eventually beaten, forced back into submission, although a religious omnic off-shoot was formed called Shambali that claimed omnics had souls, and crusaded for equality with humans. An era of peace was ushered in and Earth's champion Overwatch prospered for 20 years under the command of Morrison, expanding its influence and numbers all over the world. But in the six years since Overwatch disappeared, tensions have risen between human and omnic, stirred by Talon terrorist attacks - particularly the assassination of Shambali leader Tekhartha Mondatta by Widowmaker. But Talon has also been attacking old - not quite dormant - Overwatch outposts hoping to steal data and whereabouts of all old operatives. These attacks were led by mysterious and merciless killer Reaper, but were thwarted by Winston, a gorilla scientist who refused to let Overwatch go. It's Winston who illegally reconnected the Overwatch network, and it's he who issues the Overwatch Recall - calling back into service all agents - upon which the game begins.
