Climbing in Overwatch? Start with my Zarya guide, check the counters map before your next swap, and learn ult economy to win more team fights. I play Zarya at Master with 500+ hours on her.
Where to start
Learn your role's job
Tank makes space, damage finishes kills and support keeps the team alive. Knowing your job tells you where to stand.
Check the counters
Before you swap, look at what the enemy is playing. The counters map shows who beats who at a glance.
Track ultimates
Count which ults both teams have ready. Fights are often won before they start by whoever spends ults better.
Review your losses
Watch one lost replay a week and look for the first death in each fight. That is usually where the fight went wrong.
