Likewise, you should make sure your DPS all have their cooldowns up for a coordinated Bloodlust/Heroism. You’ll have overlapping healing bonuses and then nothing to get you through that next big damage spike. Don’t just let your healers use their CD’s whenever it feels best to them. In WoW, cooldown coordination is often a huge difference maker.
On the other side of the coin is the anti-synergy of ultimates like Winston’s team-scattering Primal Rage and Junkrat’s devastating but small-radius RIP-Tire. How much more effective is McCree’s High Noon or Pharah’s Barrage when the targets are snared by Mei’s Blizzard? Genji’s Dragonblade can draw a lot more blood when his enemies are conveniently rounded up by Zarya’s Graviton Surge. It may be exhausting to talk all night leading a raid or coordinating an Arena team, but it’s absolutely worth it. All the addons in the world can’t compete with the sound of a human voice giving an order. The adds snacking on your healers aren’t 100% the tanks’ fault if no one mentions that it’s happening.Įven the best players tend to tunnel their rotation sometimes. A raid leader needs to stay vocal during pulls to make sure everyone is aware of where they need to go and what they need to do next. So many raid bosses in WoW have mechanics that can kill your players if you don’t communicate well. We’re all sick of those, and Overwatch has only been out for a few weeks.
Bastion preys on your silence in team chat. If one person had spoken up about where the Bastion was positioned, that never would have happened. So many Plays of the Game feature a Bastion set up at a choke point, mowing down team members one by one as they approach. If only that were possible in Overwatch rounds… When push comes to shove, however, if they won’t follow the strategy and do what’s best for the team as a whole, you need to get rid of them. You should use these players’ expertise as a resource, and let them make their case for doing something differently. Perfectly executed teamwork using a less-than-perfect strategy will always get you farther than selfish play. Those players want to do their own thing because they “know best,” and might even go so far as to abandon the strategy in the middle of a pull or a team-fight. Teams in WoW sometimes have a selfish player who’s great at the game and knows it. If they’d stick together with their teammates, a coordinated assault might actually win the round. That guy who’s nonstop Hanzo-sniping from across the map while your Payload sits motionless or teleport-Reaping enemy heroes far from the control point might put up flashy stats, but they’re hurting your team in the long run. Early MMOs like Everquest had such things, but then, in a 72-player raid there’s a lot more room for diversity… It kind of makes me wish that WoW‘s design had incorporated similar roles - crowd control or area defense specs. I see plenty of Meis, Torbjorns, Symmetras, and heartless Bastions running around. “Specialist” heroes, on the other hand, are very popular. Be kind and be patient with them, or else you’ll just add more Hunters and Soldier: 76’s to the community. Just as we should all upvote our strong-performing tank and support teammates at the end of a round, we should also thank our tanks and healers in WoW. It’s human nature that most people want to be the flashy star quarterback instead of the plodding offensive lineman guarding him. Sometimes no one picks a tank or a support, and then a generous player has to make the switch later to ensure the team has a better chance to win.īlizzard did an amazing job making sure Overwatch’s tanks and support heroes are just as deep and interesting as the offensive heroes, but players would still rather be the ones getting quad kills on the Play of the Game. DPS slots go fast, while everyone holds their breath wondering if someone will choose a Roadhog or a Mercy to round out the roster. Starting an Overwatch match often feels a bit like waiting in a Dungeon Finder queue. Players still don’t like playing tanks and support classes Here are five lessons from Overwatch that can help your team to succeed in raids and PvP. Playing it over the past few weeks, I’ve seen some parallels between success in Overwatch and success in WoW‘s group content. As Legion‘s beta rolls onward, many of us are crossing the Warlords of Draenor content gap with Blizzard’s amazingly fun and creative team shooter Overwatch.
