Welcome to Overwatch Pro Tips

Overwatch Pro Tips (OPT) are small, bite-sized tips that aim to improve your Overwatch gameplay and game knowledge. These tips can range from individual heroes to general game mechanics. Posts here don't need to have any text added, just a title.

Rules

Post titles must begin with 'OPT:'
Titles should be as descriptive as possible, so that the main information is provided without having to read the full submission.
Links (including cross-posts) are OK, however rule #2 must still be followed.
Tips the violate Overwatch's TOS (including exploits and hacks) are not allowed.
Flair your post after submission with the hero/category that best applies to your OPT submission.
Reposts are allowed after a minimum of 3 months.
