If you’re heading into Overwatch 2 but don’t know where to start, or if you played a lot of the first Overwatch but you’re rusty after a few years out, these tips could help you get started with some less frustrating games. Don’t be afraid to queue
Overwatch 2 has brought over the role queue system that was added to Overwatch a couple of years on from its launch, which lets you queue according to which category of character you’re going to use when you find a game.

As you’ll quickly see, this has led to longer queues for damage and tank characters compared to support options that heal and buff their team. While it might be tempting to just pick support for your first few hours to guarantee a quick matchmaking experience, we think it’s worth sticking it out in some queues.
After all, you’ll only really get a sense of the game by trying out different styles of play — so stick with a queue at least a few times to give yourself that freedom.
