Overwatch Character Guide: Torbjörn Zenyatta Widowmaker: Difference between revisions

<br>If you're looking to dive into the world of being a tank but don't necessarily want to just absorb damage or worry about only fighting at close range, then D.Va is the character for you. What makes this particular hero unique is that she's an absolute beast when inside of her mech, but once its health reaches zero, D.Va essentially gets a second life as a light glass cannon. While D.Va is inside of her mech, her main weapons are her Fusion Cannons, which allow her to fire unlimited ammo at short range. Despite the fact that these weapons function like machine guns, they shouldn't be thought of in the same manner as, say, Bastion's Recon weapon, as their range is considerably shorter than one would expect. Still, if you're looking to cause more damage than anyone else on your team, then you could do a lot worse than peppering your foes with D.Va's Fusion Cannons. A small note, D.Va loses a great deal of her movement speed when using these weapons, so you're not going to want to just permanently hold down the fire button.<br><br>She's pretty interesting because her two primary abilities do not work without each other. What kind of makes her Tracer is how the Blink and the Recall work together. We have some heroes where the abilities might compliment each other, but they might not be as tightly tied together like that. From the beginning, she originated as a "whole" hero with those three abilities (the Blink, the Recall and the Pulse Bomb). With other heroes, we've gone through iteration where we thought, "Hey, we really like these two abilities, but we're going to work on this third one and change it all later."<br><br> <br>Now, it seems like another such update is on the way. [https://WWW.Overwatchtactics.com/articles/heroes-of-the-storm-at-10-the-crossover-moba-that-broke-all-rules.html Blizzard MOBA Crossover] revealed a set of patch notes for hero balance and bug fixes that is available to play on the Heroes of the Storm PTR right now. Historically, these updates usually come between three and five weeks before they are implemented into the actual game, meaning players can expect these changes to go live in about a mo<br><br> <br>Many Heroes of the Storm fans were delighted to see the retired MOBA get a new update. After the game went into maintenance mode, Heroes of the Storm didn’t receive updates for over a year . However, since the first one in November 2023, Heroes of the Storm has gotten regular patches roughly once every three months, with this latest one being the fourth. Hopefully, the cult classic MOBA continues to get updates at a similar inter<br><br>With Overwatch, the charming hero shooter from Blizzard, launching this week, we want to make sure that you're as prepared as possible to help your team dominate. Overwatch's main focus is clearly on the interplay between its dynamic characters, so in order to become competent, you'll need to understand how every character works. Throughout the week, we'll be publishing guides on each of the twenty-one launch heroes, three at a time, with the hopes that you'll be able to recognize certain patterns on the battlefield.<br><br> <br>Microsoft completed its takeover of Blizzard in October 2023 – right around when these Heroes of the Storm updates began again. While there has been no solid evidence proving a correlation between these two events, fans of the game still hope it could be some indication that Microsoft has plans to revive Heroes of the Storm . While doing so would be a popular and timely decision among the community, players shouldn’t get their hopes up unless Blizzard makes an official announcement about such a development. In the meantime, it seems like fans can take solace in the fact that Heroes of the Storm isn’t truly going away any time s<br><br>When it comes to characters with a high skill-ceiling, Zenyatta resides near the top of the list. A glass cannon with the ability to heal teammates, a good Zenyatta has the opportunity to completely shift a match in his team's favor, which is certainly a strong case for giving him a shot. Let's get his downsides out of the way right off of the bat: everyone's favorite robotic monk sports a mere 150 hitpoints and doesn't have any movement-based abilities or perks, making him an easy target when in the thick of battle. Still, his main weapon, the Orbs of Destruction, do a great deal of damage for a Support hero, as they can either be fired one-by-one with extreme accuracy, or charged up and fired (with the amount of orbs that are fired based upon how long the secondary fire button is held for). If you're the type of player that is really good at aiming your shots, consider giving Zenyatta a shot, as he is an absolute blast when played proficiently.<br><br>The traditional sniper hero of the bunch, Widowmaker is a particularly lethal character for those with solid keyboard and mouse skill, or those who are particularly great at sniping with a controller. However, if you don't consider yourself to be particularly precise with your aim, then it's best for everyone involved if you don't weight down your team with a desire to get the greatest headshot of all time. Her weapon, the Widow's Kiss, has two distinct firing modes that make her one of the highest damage dealers of the entire roster, assuming that you play her correctly. If you fire without aiming down sights, it functions as a close-to-medium range automatic assault rifle, though this should only be used to get yourself out of a jam, as it is nowhere near as powerful as its standard firing mode: the long-range sniper rifle. The longer that one aims down sights, the more powerful the shot will be (up until it fully charges to 100%), so if you're looking to get your quickscope on, you're playing the wrong game. Headshots are absolutely lethal, so take your time, line up your shots and ensure that you're fully charged, as spamming only functions to give away your position.<br>
