Blizzard's colorful hero shooter, now free-to-play with five players a side instead of six. Each hero plays like a different game, and team composition matters as much as aim.
Kit's verdict · 7.4/10
Still the most charismatic hero shooter around, but the sequel stripped out more than it added.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Huge, distinct hero roster
- Gorgeous art direction
- Moment-to-moment combat feels great
Not so much
- The promised PvE campaign was mostly cancelled
- Monetization is far greedier than the original
Play it if team players who like swapping roles and making big ultimate plays.
Skip it if lone wolves who want their own aim to decide every fight.

Tips
Play it better
- Stick with your team. Most losses come from players arriving at fights one at a time.
- Swap heroes mid-match when you're getting countered; it's built into the game for a reason.
- Take high ground whenever you can, since it gives better sightlines and safety.
- Track enemy ultimates. Use yours to answer theirs or to start a fight with an advantage.
- As a damage or tank player, protect your healers; a living support is worth more than a risky kill.
- Use the Practice Range to learn hero mechanics and ability cooldowns.
