Two teams of 5 players compete against each other to capture points, escort payloads, and win King of the Hill battles.

Set in a futuristic Earth, this game features characters with superhuman and almost god-like abilities. Be an astrophysicist turned into a living weapon, rain destruction from above in a jet-powered armor suit, or pilot a superpowered hamster ball;  in Overwatch, every hero has a unique set of devastating abilities and a diverse backstory that will leave you wanting more from the deep and complex lore of the Overwatch universe.

In Overwatch, there are three roles to choose from, Tank, Damage, and Support. It is required to choose from these roles in both Quick Play and Competitive. On each team, there will be two tanks, two damage dealers, and two supports.  Every character from every class has unique abilities and play styles, so it is very important to create a team that will thrive in the current, and ever-changing, META.
