Do things outside of Overwatch; like going outside and doing some sports, if you can.

Use a secure password for your account that you don't use anywhere else. You can use a password manager like the portable version of KeePass 2.42.1 for that.

Try not to be toxic. Take a deep breath from time to time. „Hatred destroys you before it destroys the ones you hate.“ (Matshona Dhliwayo)

Try not to die.

Group up and go together to the objective. Don't go alone and die.

Don't ult if a point is already lost.

Usually, you should not ult alone. To get the most value out of it, make sure that your team can follow up on your ult, for example when Rein shatters, your team can help you secure the kills and/or capture the objective.

Push together with your team. If you flank, not every opponent is focused on you then.

Focus one enemy until he is dead. Don't shoot at multiple enemies and hit them a little bit.

Don't jump to avoid shots. Spam A, D and crouch.

If your hero doesn't work in a match, counter pick. A list of counters can be found here.

If the enemy team has snipers like Widowmaker and Hanzo, stay behind the shield or search for cover elsewhere.

You can train your aim in the Practice Range 2.0 (Workshop Code: BTRZE).

When the Mercy of your team has died, it can be useful, to pick her up from spawn. Show yourself to her and she can fly to you.

Control

If your team has the point and only you are alive, contest the point to get addional percentages even if you die a few seconds later.

Bastion

Hollywood, Attack, good spot for Bastion: Together with Baptiste's Immortality Field, Bastion can sit in the little room on the right side of the point and shoot opponents.

Rialto, Defend, good spot for Bastion: Together with Orisa, Baptiste, Mercy and Roadhog, Bastion can sit beside the little room on the left side of the bridge and shoot in the direction of the opponents' spawn.

Roadhog

Use left click or right click for Roadhog's Scrap Gun depending on the distance of the opponent. Left for opponents that are close and right for opponents that are more far away.

A popular combo is left or right click, Hook, step forward, left click, Melee.

Do a left or right click before you use Ult.

Look on the ground and then heal yourself.

Roadhog can combine his Hook with Orisa's Pull well. First Orisa pulls, then Roadhog hooks.


Soldier: 76

Use high ground with a good escape route to your team or a health pack.

Use burst fire to avoid bullet spread when you shoot at opponents who are far away.

Use Helix Rocket Jumps for advanced positioning.

Reload after a fight (if possible), so that you don't go into the next fight with only 2 bullets in your magazine.
