Overwatch is a fast-paced, team-based shooter where two squads of unique heroes face off. Each hero has their own abilities, weapons, and role (Tank, Damage, Support). Success depends on teamwork and timely hero switches.
Season 17 sees the meta tilt towards sustainable, brawl‑style team compositions grounded by self‑reliant tanks and flexible DPS. Orisa and Ramattra dominate the frontline with their unmatched survivability, earning the top tank spots, while Tracer and Cassidy shine as S‑tier damage, excelling in high‑impact plays. On the support side, Baptiste and Kiriko lead the pack with versatile utility and game‑changing ultimates that thrive in this slower, objective‑focused meta. Dive comps give way to hybrid strategies as teams favor durability, control, and smarter synergy.
