Compilation of basics/tips/tricks/what should be common sense in Overwatch, that is NOT only important for people who play x hero, but for EVERYBODY, even if you don't play certain heroes because Blizzard being the sheer doomfisting of a clusterfuckball it is some information that is important isn't available ingame - and because to know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy... or... something like that

-------------------------

GENERAL
- There are custom and specific settings in Controls for each hero. Example: You can set a crosshair to be green for one hero and pink for another. Another example: You can set Mercy's Guardian Angel to prefer the beam's target. Explore those options.
- The content inside of lootboxes are determined when you receive them, NOT when you open them
- Blue shields can regenerate regardless of your health (unless you're 0 health, of course)
- Armor does not.
- Both armor and blue shields deplete before Health Points do
- Healing packs/healing abilities can regenerate armor or blue shields, unless the armor was provided by Torbjorn.
- Armor is stronger against, for example, lots of bullets with little damage each. It is very weak against one attack with huge damage.
- You cannot heal turrets, teleporters, shield generators, etc.
- You cannot use teleporters to travel backwards - you can only travel from spawn to x, not from x to spawn
- Changing heroes will reset your Ultimate charge
- Damaging enemies makes your Ultimate charge faster
- Some Ultimates charge faster than others
- When Attacking on Escort maps, the Payload provides HP when an Attack player is near it
- Don't shoot or try to use any ability on an enemy revived by Mercy immediately. They are invulnerable for a few seconds. Usually when they stop glowing yellow is when that invulnerability is over.
- Do not trust/assume a D.va, Genji, Pharah, Lúcio, Widowmaker, Winston, and even Tracer who falls off a cliff to be already dead unless you see  that in the kill feed. Whether they threw themselves off pretending to "omg i'm gonna kms lolll" or they were pushed off, they can climb back up while you're turning your back away thinking they're already gone.
- Rather than charging in guns blazing into a place full of enemies all by yourself and dying immediately after, wait for your team to respawn and group up. This is more important than people think. Being all by yourself in one area against various enemies or one stronger enemy in Overwatch doesn't work very well.
- "Counters" are heroes that can take an enemy hero the easiest/the most efficiently. For example, a Junkrat isn't a counter to Pharah at all, but a Soldier 76 or a sniper is.
- Hitscan = the travel time is zero, so if the aiming reticule is over a pilot's head and you pull the trigger, it's a headshot.
Projectile = There is travel time, so you'll need to lead moving targets.
Hitscan means you pull the trigger and it immediately checks (scans) whatever is under your reticle for a hit.
Projectile means that it actually creates a bullet or rocket or whatever game object which then travels out from your weapon like a real projectile, according to some rules.
Think of hitscan as a laser and a projectile as an arrow.

-Bonus: do you sometimes - although this mostly happens before a fight when players are messing around - see someone spinning around very fast and overall looking like they're having a seizure? And then they can return to normal immediately after? This is not a hack or cheat of sorts. This is simply done by players who have a mouse that has a shortcut button that allows them to quickly switch dpi/mouse sensitivity immediately.
Likewise, even without such mouse you can go to your game's settings and increase mouse sensitivity to the max and do it, then back down to your usual sensitivity. However, this takes more time and isn't as practical.
The More You Know!


ANA
- Ana cannot headshot
- You cannot get healed while you have enemy Ana's biotic grenade on you
- Damaging an enemy while they're asleep with Ana's sleep dart will awaken them, no matter how big or small the damage - however, this happens only when they hit the ground.
- Using Ana's sleep dart will stop most ultimates. The enemy will not resume the ultimate after they're awake.
- Ana's ultimate, Nanoboost, does not make the character affected invincible/damageless; it does, however, reduce the damage taken and increases the damage done

D.VA
- You can control which direction D.va ejects out of her mech with your direction keys
- D.va's defense matrix cannot block things such as Zarya's laser beam, Symmetra's microwave beam, Mei's freeze spray, Rein's hammer, nor Roadhog's hook
- D.va can, however, block most if not all projectiles and Junkrat's bombs, and even some ultimates, such as Pharah's (Barrage), Roadhog's (Whole Hog), even Mei's Blizzard, etc.
- Using boosters + your ultimate (the bomb) makes your bomb slide which direction you pressed. First your boosters key, then your ultimate key.
- To see where your D.va bomb would land: stand on a certain place. Use boosters. Wherever you land when the booster ends is somewhat the area where the bomb should land
- Standing behind a wall/barrier no matter how near or far it is will block any damage from D.va's ultimate. Standing a certain distance away from it with no obstacles between you and the bomb will still give you some damage, although not all of it.
- D.va's ultimate does not damage herself

GENJI
- Please search a list/video of what can Genji deflect and what he can't. Genji can deflect attacks, abilities, and even ultimates and make them against you
- If Genji eliminates an enemy with swift strike (the sword thing that leaves a trail of light behind), his cooldowns reset
- Genji cannot throw shuriken while using his ultimate
- A nice smooth combo mostly used for close quarters with Genji is the shuriken alt-fire and immediately after the Melee.

GENJI/HANZO
- As Genji and Hanzo, press and hold forward to climb a wall, not spam those buttons

HANZO
- Enemies revealed by Hanzo's Sonic Arrow (the "SEE WHICH IS UNSEEEEN" "MARKED......... BY THE DRAGON" thing) becomes available to all heroes in Hanzo's team, not just Hanzo

JUNKRAT
- Junkrat's mines, bombs, traps, etc. do not damage himself.
- Junkrat's ultimate rip-tire can be destroyed before it explodes with no damage dealt to its targets
- Junkrat's ultimate has a time limit
- When Junkrat uses his rip-tire, he stays still and the player cannot see himself while using the tire
- Eliminating Junkrat after he's launched his rip-tire will not eliminate his rip-tire
- Junkrat drops bombs when he dies that damages enemies
- Junkrat knows when an enemy has been caught in his trap
- Junkrat also knows when an enemy has destroyed his trap or mine

MCCREE
- McCree's roll reloads his gun completely
- In McCree's ultimate (Deadeye), it takes a few seconds for him to lock on a target before firing the accurate shot; however, the number of seconds it takes is based on the enemy's HP. Tanks are going to take longer to lock on than, for example, a Tracer
- For Deadeye to do its full damage and kill an enemy, it has to fully lock on a target first (indicated by the white - and later, red - circle). If McCree fires before Deadeye is fully locked on to a target, it only does partial damage.
- McCree's Deadeye cannot be used through obstacles, so if an enemy hides somewhere out of your line of sight you can't damage/kill them.

MEI
- Mei's ice wall can block enemy ultimates such as D.va's self-destruct bomb
- Mei's ice wall can also block certain enemy abilities like Reinhardt's charge, Roadhog's hook, etc.
- Shooting at/hitting an enemy Mei while she is in Cryo-Freeze (when she's a block of ice) does not deal any damage to her nor make the ability degrade
- As of current version, Mei has a bug in which when she throws her Ultimate and dies immediately after, her Ultimate charge will reset back to 0%, but the Ult will not be used at all. Some people have reported it also happening even if she doesn't die and with no enemy Genji deflects/D.va DM in sight or in the match at all.
- Shooting at/hitting a certain spot in an enemy Mei's ice wall can destroy that spot faster
- Mei can freeze enemy turrets


MERCY
- When you revive someone as Mercy, your Guardian Angel (the ability that allows her to fly from teammate to teammate) cooldown resets
- Mercy's Ultimate makes the allies revived invulnerable to any attacks for a few seconds
- To fall slowly as Mercy while in the air, press and hold space, not spam it
- Mercy has self-heal over time
- Mercy can still use Guardian Angel with her pistol equipped
- Mercy can still use Guardian Angel on a teammate that has been recently killed
- Mercy's Guardian Angel can be cancelled by pressing the ability button a second time; meaning she can stop midway before reaching the ally's position
- Mercy's Guardian Angel makes her fly to her teammate's position WHEN she uses the ability; meaning if you use it, but your ally immediately moves away, you won't follow to where they are.
- You don't need to stay absolutely glued to allies as Mercy. In fact, you'll likely get hit and die faster if you do this. Obviously, don't stray too far away frmo them either, but... It's all about a "middle ground".

ORISA
- Orisa's Ultimate can be destroyed before it disappears by itself

PHARAH
- Pharah can run out of fuel to fly in the air
- Pharah's rockets can damage herself

REAPER
- Reaper heals himself when an enemy dies consuming their "souls" (an orb that floats to him when he's nearby the dead ally); whoever killed that enemy doesn't matter.

REINHARDT
- Be careful: if D.va uses her ultimate while you're charging her as Reinhardt, she ejects out of her MEKA, and you're still holding the MEKA, the MEKA will still explode in your face and on your teammates'.
- Reinhardt's shield can shield him and teammates who are behind him from D.va's bomb
- Reinhardt can't shield another enemy Reinhardt's hammer
- Reinhardt's shield will not stop another Reinhardt's charge ability
- Reinhardt can charge through a friend's teleporter, charging from the starting point to the destination

ROADHOG
- Again, be careful: using Roadhog's hook on D.va's exploding MEKA will... Well... You know. https://youtu.be/3hF5i0FjLiY?t=6m2s [6:02]
- Using Roadhog's hook succesfully will stop most ultimates. The enemy will not return to the ultimate action after they're hooked.

SOLDIER: 76
- You can sprint midair as Soldier 76
- You can get a little jump boost (with some damage) shooting Soldier 76's helix rockets at the ground

SOMBRA
- Sombra's ultimate, EMP, only affects the enemies and enemies' creations in the EMP blast's radius
- EMP removes blue shields and barriers (and obviously, hacks enemies)
- EMP also disables turrets
- When an enemy's health is below 50%, Sombra (only Sombra) can see them through walls
- Hacking health packs as Sombra not only makes the enemy unable to use them, but also makes them spawn much faster
- Hacked health packs can be seen through walls by Sombra's teammates
- Sombra can have more than one health pack hacked at a time
- Sombra cannot use her Hack ability on turrets nor teleporters or any creations of the sort

ZARYA
- Shooting at Zarya's bubble, herself or ally, will not "destroy" it faster, nor destroy it at all. Shooting at bubbles actually increases Zarya's damage.

LÚCIO
- To glide against a wall as Lúcio, hold down space bar, not spam it
- Lúcio can glide backwards
- Lúcio heals/speed boosts all allies that are within his range not blocked by walls

SYMMETRA
- Press your ultimate button TWICE to make a Shield Generator instead of a Teleporter as Symmetra
- Only one teleporter is available to Symmetra; you do not need to create a starting point teleporter. A teleporter inside the spawn is always created.
- Symmetra's turrets have 1 HP each
- Symmetra players can see how many, which, and where her creations are and if they have been destroyed

TORBJORN
- Torbjorn's ultimate, Molten Core, where he turns into fire and so does his turret and all that stuff, gives him and his turret a health boost, and transforms his turret into the next level. He can also repair it much faster.
- Killing an enemy causes scrap to drop for Torbjorn for him to pick up

TRACER
- Tracer's "Recall" ability - where she "goes back in time" - resets any damage, debuff, and ammo wasted seconds ago
- Tracer's ultimate, "Pulse Bomb", can get stuck on enemies and surfaces
- Tracer's ultimate can damage herself

WINSTON
- If Winston lands near an enemy using Jump Pack, they take some damage from it
- Winston can electrocute multiple enemies at the same time
- Winston's ultimate, Primal Rage, reduces his Jump Pack ability cooldown
- Winston's ultimate also doubles his HP

ZENYATTA
- Zenyatta's healing orbs and discord orbs ("plus" yellow orb for teammates that heals and "minus" purple orb for enemies that increases damage received) require the teammate/enemy to be in his line of sight; thus, for example, hiding behind a wall for a few seconds will remove his discord or healing orb from you, and vice versa (Zenyatta himself moving away also causes the same effect).
- Zenyatta can still contest a capture point while using his ultimate
- Even though Zenyatta does not put his feet on the ground, he can still get caught by Junkrat's trap


Congratulations, you now probably know more than your average basic normie pleb player!!!!!! (Or not) (we do not issue refunds)
