So if you are on the front lines taking out multiple heroes, he is able to constantly sustain his own health. What makes him even better is that he can consume the souls of dead enemies to heal himself. He is better at some maps than others, but because of his high attack, he can take out enemy tanks quickly and efficiently.

Reaper has some of the highest damage in the game, provided you're up close and personal with his shotguns. Because of this, it is highly likely you will be voted for at the end of the game in the cards screen. Her resurrection ultimate is the most tide-turning ability in the game potentially resurrecting the entire team and winning the match. But you'll find there will always be someone needing healing so you will be literally flying across the map, (due to one of her abilities) healing everyone. Mercy makes you feel like you are the most important person on your team due to the amount of healing you will do. MercyĪ team's guardian angel, Mercy is the easiest healer to use but that doesn't mean she is only good for new players. Her Caduceus Staff is heavily proficient in supporting your team, able to quickly restore huge amounts of health but also able to increase the amount of damage an ally can do.īecause of her being the most support focused hero, it is more difficult to rack up a decent amount of kills unless you're an expert with her. It's always nice to see multiple elimination notifications pop up from a well-placed turret. His gun is more deadly up close compared with at distance however having to modes is helpful nonetheless. However saying this, he is very fun to play and can sometimes be necessary to have on your team due to him being able to defend points with his turret but also create armour packs for your allies. It's because of this ability that makes him much less efficient in attacking situations. This is due to his main role as setting up his turret in a position to easily pick off enemies and defend areas. Torbjorn is one of two heroes that is arguably, solely for defence modes unlike other heroes in the defence category. It is because of this reason you will most likely see a Roadhog in every match for being so deadly efficient. His other ability allows him to heal a chunk of his health, this also has a surprisingly fast cooldown as well. I played him recently in the map Route 66 and 3 times in a row I was lucky enough to interrupt the enemy Genji 3 times in a row with his hook and quickly kill him.

His hook ability is great to use if you're playing him, but is frustrating if you get targeted by it, as it can halt an enemy whilst their using their abilities and it's possible to land a quick one-shot kill straight after. Another self-sustaining character but arguably more deadly, he is a tank that isn't so much about protecting ally heroes but more about charging forward and eliminating the enemy before they have a chance to kill your team. The 'One-man apocalypse' himself, Roadhog is both an efficient and annoying tank hero to have and to face.

He is an easy hero to use but he also a very effective one for beginners and adepts alike. He also has helix rockets for extra damage to finish off enemies and to help take down the stronger heroes. Soldier: 76 is a self-sustaining hero with his healing ability, quickly healing himself and others around him.

His assault rifle packs a strong and easy punch against the enemy and it is the most familiar weapon to use as it plays like any standard gun in any other shooter. The guy who you play in the tutorial, (if you've never played a single first-person shooter before-level) the first hero I played as is the most helpful character to play when getting to grips with how the game modes work and when learning about what other heroes do. It would not be the same without any of them and I want to tell you, dear reader, who are my most favourite characters to play as, based on a mixture of abilities, role to the team and personality.
