PVE SECTION (Not much info yet)




FOR NEW PLAYERS
Good to see some new people on the thread. Overwatch is a fun, unique game.

What separates Overwatch 2 from other fps games?
Overwatch 2 is Team-based first person shooter. Biggest difference to other shooters are the fixed abilities
and weapons on each character. Tracer always has the same Pulse Pistols, can blink around the field,
do a time Recall and throw a Pulse Bomb as her ultimate ability. Widowmaker has her Sniper Rifle,
Venom mine and Grapling Hook and so on.

All heroes have an ultimate ability that is charged by doing damage, healing or (slowly) by time.
When your ultimate meter reaches 100% you can launch unique powerful ability. Soldier76 all shots hit automatically for a while,
Widowmaker reveals all enemy hero locations through walls and so on.

Also there's a lot of heroes:



The game has hero roles with different design philosophy. Tank heroes have a lot of health and are larger than average,
Damage heroes are good at dealing lot of damage and healers can heal and keep others fighting longer.

Most common play-modes have fixed composition team with role queue. 1 Tank, 2 Damage and 2 healers.
You can queue for the game as any or just choose flex, if you don’t mind which role you will assigned to.
During the game you can change your character within the role. For example if you play as Damage hero,
you can pick any other damage hero that isn’t played by your team mate.
There are also other game modes, where there are no role restrictions.

Each individual hero is very different from each other. What heroes suit you will vary. If you’re good at clicking heads,
there’s plenty of heroes that reward that. If not there’s other heroes that are rewarding to play that don’t focus on pixel perfect aiming.
Want to be a beefy center-line hero, sneaky flanker or someone who wins by supporting your team mates?
Overwatch 2 got a hero for you.

Not all heroes are unlocked for new players at the start. You start with a more limited hero selection
and unlock new heroes and play modes as you play more and get more accustomed to your heroes.
It takes about 100 games to unlock all classic heroes. All heroes and most game modes are unlocked, while playing grouped up.
Remember to try out different heroes and roles so you can find what you really love to play!

Official Overwatch heroes page



Game modes
Overwatch 2 game modes are divided between Unranked, Competitive, Arcade and Custom games categories
Main game modes inside these are Quick play (found inside unranked) and Competitive play.* (Found inside competitive, duh)
One is more casual and other is bit more tryhard, but otherwise they’re pretty similar.
Both game modes have role queue and open queue versions. Generally role queues are more popular, but both are fun.
Two teams of 5 heroes face each other in different map types with either one team is an attacker and other defender or both teams are attacking.

*Competitive mode is locked for new players, until you have 50 Quick Play wins.

Map Types:
Escort


One team is an attacker and other team defends. There’s a Payload on the map that can be pushed forward on a route.
Payload moves forward when there’s an attacker near the payload and no defenders near it. Its speed increases with
more attackers near the payload with maximum speed from 3 attackers. If no attackers are near the payload,
it starts slowly drifting backwards towards previous checkpoint. Attackers get more time to push from reaching checkpoints.
Both teams get change to attack. Whichever team pushes the cart farthest wins.

Control


Control maps are actually 3 smaller maps. Both teams are attackers. There’s a central area that is a control point.
You capture it by having your team mates on it with no enemy team in it. Multiple heroes capture the point faster.
While the point is controlled, your control meter starts to rise starting from 0. Whichever team gets their meter to 100 first wins a round.
While the point is contested by the enemy team, your meter cannot rise to 100.
After each round the map changes until one team has 2 round wins.

Hybrid
[

One team is an attacker and other team defends. There's a control point that the attacker tries to capture by eliminating defenders
from the area and standing on the control point. When capture timer finishes the game mode turns into an escort map with a payload.

Push


New game mode for Overwatch 2.
Both teams are attackers. There is a Robot at the center of the map with a barricade at each side. Robot is controlled by whichever team
has a hero near it and no enemy heroes. A controlled robot pushes team Barricade slowly along predetermined road
towards enemy team spawn. Pushing stops, if enemy team has enemy heroes near the robot or your team has no heroes near it.
If other team is controlling the robot it changes direction and pushes the other Barricade. The Robot moves fast between barricades.
Whichever team has their barricade pushed farthest wins.



Other modes
In addition to Quick Play and competitive mode, there are other more casual game modes. Some are always available, while others are on rotation.
Here is a short list of some of them:



Mystery heroes
Same as a quick play, except you are assigned a random hero and when you get killed you get another random hero. Found inside Unranked.
Also used as a modifier in multiple arcade modes, like Mystery Deathmatch.



Deathmatch Free For All and Team
These game modes have their own maps. Reach the kill count and win.
Note that due to asymmetrical killing potential of heroes, some them are a real hard to win with. Especially in free for all deathmatch.
Deathmatch FFA is found inside unranked and Team Death match is on rotation inside Arcade.



Elimination
Deathmatch with no respawn during the round. Team gets a point for eliminating enemy team. First to three points wins.
Winning team cannot use their heroes on future rounds.
Has 1v1, 3v3 and 5v5 variations. Is on rotation inside Arcade.



Capture the Flag
Game mode has their own maps. Enemy base has a flag and your team has to capture it, while preventing enemy team capturing yours.
First team to steal 3 flags win.
Is on rotation inside Arcade.

Assault Maps
Game mode has their own maps. One team attacks and other defends. There's a control point that the attacker tries to capture by eliminating defenders
from the area and standing on the control point just like in hybrid maps. When you capture the point another control point unlocks that attacker tries to capture.
Casually this mode is called "2CP", short for 2 control points.

And there are plenty of other rotating arcade modes and seasonal modes.



Custom Games
Want to play an invite only game on Kings row? You can arrange this on custom games.
Or you setup a free to join custom game for a Widowmaker sniper ffa deathmatch.

What is even better than that? You can literally script your own custom game modes that can be played by anyone
that knows its workshop game code. There is anything from aim-training to Doomfist Parkour challenge modes.
The system is really flexible and has been available for years in Overwatch 1.
During Overwatch 2 launch the workshop to design your own game modes is on break until it is updated on a later patch,
but all the old game codes will/should work.

Popular source for custom game codes: https://workshop.codes/



PVE story missions
They are coming. Current ETA for those is sometime in 2023. More details on that when we know more,
but it should have different customizable PVE maps and continue the Overwatch story-line forward.
More on it on 3rd post, when information comes available.

PVE got Cancelled. RIP.

"Negotiations were going well. They were very impressed by my hat." -Issaries the Concilliator"


FOR RETURNING PLAYERS
Welcome back. Depending on when you’ve last played there might be lot of things you’ve missed.
New heroes, new game modes and maps. Some heroes got reworked a lot during OW1,
but in this section I’m going to focus on what changes on October 4th, when we move from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2.




WHAT IS NEW?
The Overwatch 2 has only 5 team members instead 6. One of the Tank players got dropped from the standard line up.

3 New heroes at the launch: Junkerqueen, who is a brawly tank with a shotgun, Axe and knife, Sojourn who is a soldier
with a railgun alternate firemode and Kiriko who is a japanese ninja-healer with throwing daggers, teleporting and spirit fox.

New maps with a new game mode: Push. More about the game mode is on the newbie section, but there are 6 new maps.
Colosseo, New Queen Street and Esperanca are Push maps, Paraíso and Midtown are Hybrid maps and Circuit Royal is Escort.

There is no more visible SR nor account levels with different borders.
Instead you have rank from Bronze to GM and Tier from 5 (lowest) to 1(High) with the rank.
Your Tier and rank could be adjusted every 7 wins or 20 losses, whichever comes first.
You will start unranked in Competitive each new season until you get your 7 wins or 20 losses.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BowIDnsNvjs

Monetization.
Overwatch 2 is free-2-play. No more lootboxes. Instead game has a battle pass, which can be advanced by
playing games and doing challenges.
Free version of the battle pass has some skins and other stuff, but all the cool stuff
including the new mythic skins are exclusive to Premium Battle Pass, which cost 10 Dollars/Euros per season.

There’s also weekly bundles and item shop, where you can purchase all the old stuff you didn’t get from OW1.
There are weekly challenges that give you some premium currency, but it is pretty limited compared to spending real money.
Overwatch league and their own fake currency remains same. Either watch OWL or pay to get team skins and stuff.

There is now cross progression between all platforms. You can link your Playstation/Switch/PC/Xbox accounts
and they all can share your skins and progression toward Battle pass. All your old skins and stuff will transfer to Overwatch 2.



Challenges
As a new thing, the game has challenges. They're mainly for getting xp for battle passes.
* Daily Challenges - 6 simple goals that refresh each day. You can complete 3 of these per day to
get almost a level in battle pass. They're simple goals, like "Win a match" or "Queue 3 times with flex role".
* Weekly Challenges - 11 more Involved goals that refresh weekly. You can complete all of them.
Each give you half a level of Battle pass xp. Completing 4 gives you 0.30 dollars worth of premium currency
and doing all 11 gives you total of 0.60 dollars worth of premium currency. Only way to get them "Free",
but really not worth it. Challenges are like "Win 10 matches queued in all roles mode" or "Deal/Boost 125 000 damage total".
* Season Challenges - 41 mostly simple goals that are season specific.
Give low amount of xp for completing mostly for fun goals.
Has character and map specific goals, like "Kill 5 enemies with Sojourns Railgun" or "Win 3 games in this map"
* Competitive Challenges - These are for the end of competitive season rewards exactly like in Overwatch 1.
As a new thing players who finish Master+ get a seasonal custom title. These challenges give competitive points,
which can be used to get gold guns for characters.
* Lifetime Challenges - Mostly for bragging rights and custom titles.
* Hero Challenges - For unlocking new heroes after their release season ends.
*Event Challenges - Limited time Challenges for game events.



Role abilities and general changes
Damage heroes now get 25% buff to reload and movement speed after every kill for 2.5 seconds.
Tanks get 30% knockback resistance and give only 50% ultimate charge for shooting them.
Healers all have 15 hp/s regeneration when they have not taken damage in last 1.5 seconds.

Players retain up to 30% of their ultimate charge, when changing heroes

Hp system has been tweaked. Armor reduces damage by 30% instead of flat number.
All the abilities that raised HP over the maximum, now just Give Overhealth.



Hero Changes from OW1 to OW2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgczDOhCqjI

Tldr:

Complete reworks:
* Doomfist is now a tank with no instakill charged punch. More durable and works as a dive hero.
* Orisa lost her shield is now bit more mobile centaur with a spear and gun.
* Bastions turret mode is now a cooldown with a timer. Damage output reduced significantly but is mobile.
New ultimate, new ability, no self-heal.
* Sombra – Hack only interrupt abilities, doesn’t block them for a long time. Reveals enemy location to team
and gives DPS boost to Sombra vs hacked. Can hack and stay in stealth.

Meaningful changes on how abilities work:
* Mei - lost her Freezeray. It does more damage and only slows.
* Brigitte -lost her shield stun, does now more damage.
* Cassidy (mcree) - Lost his Flashbang, now throws an explosive.
* Echo – Ultimate gives only max 300 hp.
* Mercy – Guardian angel tech flight changed a lot. No longer a secret tech.
* Reinhardt – Double firestrike, Charge can be cancelled.
* Symmetra – Teleporter isn’t permanent until destroyed any more.
* Zenyatta – Melee attack knocks back lot.
* Winston - New alternate fire mode. Chargeable longer range beam.

and a lot of smaller changes to damage/heal/shield values and smaller tweaks to abilities.



What is gone?
No more Assault (2CP) maps in quickplay or competitive. They have been relegated to a rotating arcade mode.

Lootboxes, but I repeat myself.

6 team members. Rip.

Overwatch 1 itself. There will be only Overwatch 2 servers.



Release schedule

Game goes to 9 week season cycles. Each season there is a new battle pass and either a new character or a map is released.
Also a new competitive season.

First two weeks of the season the new characters are locked out of the competitive mode
to give everyone a fair change to unlock them and practice.
After the season ends there will be a hero challenge to unlock them, if you didn't during the season.
Or you can buy them.

UNLOCKING NEW OVERWATCH 2 HEROES

During their release season, you can unlock heroes by advancing you free battle pass to unlock them.
Ramattra is unlocked by completing lvl 45 on season 2

Heroes from the past seasons (Kiriko, Sojourn and Junkerqueen) can be unlocked doing their hero challenges.
Hero challenge page has full checklist, but general idea is that you have to practice each characters abilities in training range with bots.
In addition to that you have to win 35 Quick play, Competitive or No limits games queued as all roles or characters designated role.
For example winning game queued as all roles will advance all 3 characters challenge, but winning after queueing as Damage hero will only advance Sojourns challenge.

Way to fix Mei should have been making her a Tank Hero with her current abilities.
Tanks can have Crowd Control. Just add some HP and nerf her right-click.
Also maybe let her move with Ice-block, similar how Roadhog can move while healing himself.

There's nothing actual in years.
The attachment bugs were ironed out in 2016/17 and the combo was weakened in 2017/18. It is still good, but not guaranteed kill against higher hp heroes like Reaper.
You need to do some pre-damage with right-click and do the melee part to confirm kills now.

So the Founders Pack unlocks the Healer, but what about Junker Queen and Sojourn? Will we have to grind for those?

They're unlocked for everyone.

The grind for new character will suck. How much depends on how long it will take.

By quick calculations you need 540 000 exp for level 55.
You can get 9000 * 63 = 567 000 from daily challenges.
and 45 000 * 9 = 405 000 from weekly challenges.
+Whatever you get from each game you play.
Other challenges give little exp. Something in low tens of thousands total.

Otherwise click Options button next to Play button and "Check for Updates"

I noticed that Widow was not getting played in OWL the few times I checked in. I guess that is because a genji/lucio duo is pretty much free to roam around and deal with backline squishies, and choosing someone designed to peel or bodyguard is too expensive.

She is played mostly on Circuit Royale and Junkertown as both have killer sightlines.
But otherwise Sojourn and Ashe are the go to Hitscans in current Meta.

Overwatch matchmaking is pretty good at getting you into games with people with similar skill level and your win rate hovers around 50%.
Only exception to this is if you're literally bottom/top 5% player and game has a hard time to find other players of your skill level.

Grouping up shouldn't matter much for unlocking the newbie stuff, but It gives you xp boost toward battle pass.
That was +20% on Overwatch 1 and is likely to be same in Overwatch 2, but not confirmed yet.

I got a 20 kill streak with Orisa on my first go in like two years with her and can’t get more than one or two eliminations before dying with dps now lol. Support is now literally just support and very little chance of actually getting a kill unless your throw some damage gloop in the vague direction of an enemy on 2hp

Literally every non-Mercy healer is good at killing.
Git Gud.

make sure your resolution scaling is off and your video resolution is set to the correct hz, both really mess with the feel of aiming.

This. It literally messes your aim by varying distances.
