This course aims to distill my eight years of experience in competitive Overwatch into a guide that can be useful for players of many skill levels. I want to help you understand how I approach the game, and to break down every part of what makes a great Overwatch 2 player: positioning, aim, resource management, hero pool, strategy, matchups, communication, awareness, etc. By breaking the game down into manageable pieces, you can target your weaknesses and improve consistently over time.
The core content of the course (intended for all students) is about 6.5 hours in total. The remaining 40+ are split up into hero specific matchup guides. My intention is that students only spend time watching the guides relevant to the heroes you choose to play. Estimated total time: 10-15 hours.
There are many helpful tips in the course, but it's real goal is to increase your rate of improvement rather than give you patch-specific advice about the strongest heroes or the best strategies for pro-players at a given moment. We'll go over everything from in-game settings to the best ways to manage a budding professional career.
While you won't often see ideal team comps at most ranks, we will discuss in detail how you can still maximize your chances to win. To rank up you don't need to win every game, you just need to tip the scales slightly in each match. If you want to become a better Overwatch 2 player, this course will help you achieve it.
