EnterHere's a breakdown of advanced techniques in Overwatch 2:
Aiming and Tracking:
General Tips:
•Sensitivity: Find a sensitivity that allows you to aim accurately at both close and long ranges. Lower sensitivities are generally better for precision, but you might need to adjust based on your role and hero.
•Crosshair Placement: Always aim at head level and where enemies are likely to appear. This reduces the movement needed when you actually see an enemy.
Flicks vs. Tracking:
•Flick Shots: Quick, precise movements for heroes like Widowmaker or Hanzo. Practice flicking to and from common headshot locations.
•Tracking: Keeping your crosshair on a moving target, crucial for heroes like Tracer or Soldier: 76. Work on smooth mouse movements.
Hero-Specific Tips: 
Hitscan Heroes (e.g., McCree, Widowmaker):
•Practice quick-scoping for snipers, where you zoom in, shoot, and zoom out rapidly.
•Use custom games for aim training, focusing on moving targets at various speeds.
Projectile Heroes (e.g., Pharah, Genji):
•Learn projectile travel time and arc. Practice leading shots; where you aim should be where the enemy will be when the projectile arrives.
•Use aim trainers or custom games set up with moving targets to understand the feel of each hero's projectile speed.
Beam Heroes (e.g., Symmetra, Zarya):
•Focus on staying on target with beam weapons. Zarya's energy gain encourages staying in fights longer, while Symmetra's damage ramps up with sustained contact.
Training Tools:
•Use the Practice Range for basic aim practice.
•Community-created custom games like "Aim Arena" or "Workshop" modes can offer dynamic, moving targets.
Map Knowledge:
Callouts:
•Learn and use map-specific callouts to describe enemy positions quickly. Common callouts include areas like "Mega" for health packs, "Point" for objectives, or specific landmarks like "Statue" on Ilios.
•Effective callouts reduce ambiguity, allowing your team to react faster to threats or opportunities.
Flank Routes:
•Understand the side routes or less obvious paths on maps. Heroes like Tracer or Sombra can use these for surprise attacks.
•Example: The side route on Dorado's first checkpoint or the underpass in Eichenwalde.
Strategic Points:
•High Ground: Know where to go for high ground advantage. For instance, the balconies on King's Row or the rooftops in Hollywood.
•Chokepoints: Be aware of chokepoints for both defending and attacking. Recognize when to push through or defend these areas.
•Sightlines: For snipers, knowing long sightlines (like the bridge on Gibraltar) is key.
General Map Tips:
•Play different heroes to understand the map from various perspectives, enhancing your overall map awareness.
•Watch pro games or high-level play to see how maps are navigated strategically.
Ultimate Management:
Charging:
•Damage: Deal damage to charge ultimates faster. However, don't seek unnecessary fights; balance between charging and staying alive.
•Supports: Healing also charges ultimates. Positioning to heal more while staying safe is key.
•Tanks: Use abilities wisely; blocking damage can charge ultimates but remember your role in the team's survival.
Usage Timing:
•Game Sense: Use ultimates when they'll have the most impact, not just because they're ready. Consider if your team can follow up or if you're countering an enemy ultimate.
•Timing with Objectives: Use ultimates to secure, contest, or defend objectives. For instance, using Reaper's Death Blossom right as enemies converge on the point.
Combo Setups:
•Ultimate Synergy: Coordinate ultimates for maximum effect:
▪Zarya's Graviton Surge with Hanzo's Dragonstrike or Pharah's Barrage.
▪Reinhardt's Earthshatter followed by an offensive ultimate like Genji's Dragonblade.
•Communication: Inform your team when your ultimate is ready and plan for combos. Use voice lines or pings to signal intent or need.
Ultimate Economy:
•Understand when to hold onto ultimates versus when to use them. Sometimes saving an ultimate for the next fight is better than using it in a losing battle.
•Track enemy ultimates. If multiple enemy ults are down, it might be a perfect time to push with yours.
Tips for Improvement:
•Review your gameplay; look for moments where you could have used your ultimate more effectively or should have saved it.
•Practice in custom games or Quick Play to get a feel for when and how your ultimates can turn the tide.
These advanced techniques require practice, game sense, and teamwork. Regularly revisiting these strategies and adapting them to the ever-evolving meta of Overwatch 2 will enhance your gameplay significantly.
