User blog:Tolis12345/Classes/Roles and their Playstyles

Some Context
This blog post's main purpose is to define the playstyles of different roles. A hero being part of that role doesn't have to play exactly like what the role defines otherwise there wouldn't be any roles to try and define playstyles.

Tanks
Tanks generally in overwatch are supposed to be huge health bar heroes with the capability of setting up plays or making plays as needed. Tanks in overwatch can be divided into 4 sub classes: The Warden, The Juggernaut, The Vanguard and the Diver.

The Warden
Wardens are defensive tanks primarly focusing on protecting their team. They are usually shield weilders but can also be wardens by other ways. Protecting your allies is all you want when you play a warden.

The Juggernaut
Juggernauts are between the warden and the vanguard. They are very agressive with defensive capabilities. When you play a juggernaut, you want to control the fight going in the battlefield knowing you want to deal as much damage as possible and yet get out safely.

The Vanguard
One of the most agressive tank classes, Vanguards are offensive play makers, The offer enough CC and self damage reduction to go in and help make plays. Vanguards aren't the best at defense but can work if your supports can peel for you. When attacking though, Vanguards are one of the best choices.

Damage
Damage heroes' main job is well, dealing damage. The damage role has 5 classes in total. 1 class is unlisted and that is the specialist class. These Heroes cannot be defined into any of the existing classes and as such are considered damage heroes with no subclass. The other 4 classes are: The Assassin, The Duelist, The Burst and the Utility

Assassin
The Assassin's main job is to head into the backline and eliminate any squishy they can. Assassins can deal a lot of single target burst while having a lot of mobility. Unlike burst characters, Assassins have to get to where they need to be while burst heroes usually have some range.

Duelists
Duelists are the ideal pick when your team wants to win fights. They are excellent at fighting and can be very powerful if left unchecked. As a duelist you want to mainly pick fights you are sure you can win or fights that are generally 1v1 which are most ideal for you.

Burst
Burst heroes generally are the damage dealers of their teams, they are very squishy and generally immobile but if they are being protected by their team, they can win fights with ease. Unlike Assassins, they've got range so they generally don't look to flank without guaranteed peeling being available.

Utility
These heroes differ from one another the most as they usually have very different ways of providing utility. Their playstyles are generally undefined but they always have something in common, They are not the best damage dealers. This means having 2 utility damage heroes without any other damage sources is really inefficient. It's best to practice these heroes a lot as they provide the most results if mastered.

Supports
Supports are very unique compared to other heroes as their 2 classes can be devided to a lot more. The 2 classes are: Enchanters and Catchers/Disruptors. Heroes don't play too differently compared to other heroes in their classes but they do offer different things

Enchanters
These are your average supports. Their main focus is peeling and healing. Some heal less for more utility, others heal a lot for less utility and some don't heal at all for maximum peel and utility. These heroes are your average supports and should be played as such

Catchers/Disruptors
Disruptors are focused on shuting down enemies as much as possible but are very squishy. Disruptors can play in the backline, Frontline or even flanking. Catchers on the other hand are generally your tank/support hybrids. They offer a lot of CC and peel and are very Tanky. Both of these have their own weakness that are very easy to exploit if you know what you are doing

Farewell!
