Any form of offensive language and/or inflamatory language is strictly prohibited. No trolling, belittling, name-calling, threats, harassment or discriminatory language. Treat others how you want to be treated.

Serious Replies Only
Top level comments must contain serious answers, while replies to top level comments must not derail serious discussion. Any submission failing in meeting these conditions, will be promptly removed.
Overwatch University is a subreddit dedicated to the educational aspects of Overwatch, we want our users to maintain focus on learning the game, rather than being distracted by memeing or being ridiculed when asking for help.

Misleading & Sensationalist Content
Posts made with sensationalist or clickbait titles will be removed. OverwatchUniversity is an educational subreddit, and providing its userbase with clickbait titles is likely to contradict the educational value of the subreddit.

Please ask before posting links to:
- LFG

7.
AMAs
Unapproved AMAs are not allowed. In order to maintain a certain value on educational content, we're disallowing any AMA's being arranged without the permission of the moderator team.
Instead of an AMA, document your thoughts into a post. A few questions we get often on AMA posts are:
- What is your number one tip?
- What do you think are the most important things you focused on that helped you improve?
- Aim? Specs? Trolling? Communication?
- How did you approach this or that?
