Have you ever wondered what you’re transporting, or trying to stop? Here are some examples of what you’re doing lore-wise on these m
All of Baptsite’s healing has AOE. Whether you use his alternate fire or his healing ability, you will be saving a lot of people, as well as yourself, in a pinch. You’ll want to use your alternate fire to heal others and your Regenerative Burst only in emergencies .

The table below is the compilement of all roles into one, giving you an overview of where every character stands amongst one another. To better understand why a Hero is placed in a specific tier, please check out their corresponding role’s section to find a detailed explanat
For specific situations, Tornjörn can absolutely step up to the challenge and help secure a win, but he will almost always remain on the shelf until such moments present themselves. This isn’t to say that he’s a horrible Hero by any means, but he’s certainly not a Hero that could carry a match or apply pressure through flanks or pokes, which is why he’s positioned as low as he

As Torbjorn says, your turret is your baby and you need to take good care of it . The first thing to remember is that your turret slowly gains health after you place it for the first time . This means that the enemies can easily kill it if you place it in their faces, and your ability will go Read More On this page a coold
Similarly, if you get a headshot on the enemy’s support character and aren’t able to capitalize on it, they can easily get their health back . Hence, characters who can heal themselves will be your nightmare when you’re trying to fight them as Kir
When the devs at Blizzard heard of the story, they immortalized him with one of the astronaut suits in Lijiang Tower (hence the surrounding flowers). Above, the writing can be translated to Mercy’s catchphrase, “Heroes never d

Baptiste’s alternate fire has a bursting AOE effect that heals any allies within ten meters. Since this is a team versus team video game, you can see why Baptiste is one of the many ultimate choices for keeping your teammates alive. If your team stays grouped up, you’ll be able to make sure no one gets to critical health. Instead of focusing healing on one person, you’re able to keep the entire team alive at the same time thanks to the AOE of Baptiste’s healing. Utilizing Baptiste’s Exo Boots is perfect in combination with his alternate f
One of the places Kiriko struggles is when she’s against a character who can heal themselves . While your headshots can deal a good amount of damage, the body shots will not be able to out-damage the healing of characters like Soldier:
Headshots are the best way to get a critical hit on your enemy. It’ll take you some time to get used to the projectile of her secondary weapon because that requires muscle memory. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to destroy everything in your way as a support charac
