Whoever says anything Overwatch Is not a casual game. Yes, it is more accessible than the same Team Fortress 2, but at the same time, the new Blizzard project can be described as "easy to play, difficult to master."
The game is much more balanced than the classic team shooter from Valve, and you will always know what to do while fighting one of the heroes. Of course, some classes are easier to play than others, so I've prepared this guide to the best characters for newbies.
Soldier 76
This old man is the easiest hero to start. If you've played any recent FPS - be it Call Of Duty or Wolfenstein - choosing Soldier 76 will make you feel right at home. He's armed with a Pulse Rifle that lets you shoot enemies at medium ranges. The character also has a set of missiles for weak enemies, and a healing beacon to heal himself and his teammates.
Angel
As a classic support hero, Angel plays an almost identical role as a medic from TF2. She can heal her allies or increase the damage from their abilities. As Angel, stay close to the Tank a lot to make sure your team can move forward. In addition, it can fly up directly to the target if it is in a hard-to-reach place.
Hog
This big guy has an automatic shotgun / scraper that allows him to deal tons of damage at close to medium range. He can also use his chain hook to pull enemies towards him, just like the Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
He has a huge health bar; besides, he can heal himself.
Reinhardt
This is a Tank class character best suited for close range attacks. Reinhardt keeps his allies safe with his portable energy shield. He is armed with a huge sledgehammer to destroy anyone who dares to approach him.
Bastion
Bastion is a robot that can transform into a stationary turret, dealing massive amounts of damage from the minigun. He also has the ability to self-repair, and he can transform into a small tank that can kill an enemy with one cannon shot.
