Calling all sniper lovers, The Widowmaker, while with her evil plan, is the most professional assassin in the game; her weapon can bring down enemies with a single hit. If you are good at aiming, then you can consider yourself the biggest threat to enemies.

Widow’s biggest advantage is her weapon but that still doesn’t mean her abilities are of any waste.

Active Abilities

1. Grappling Hook – A great way to escape sticky situations is to fly away from there, and the grappling hook does exactly that; it launches a hook that let’s Widow swing to a different building to escape or gain high ground against her enemies.
2. Venom Mine – As the name suggest it poisons the enemies that step on it and put them in an effect that hard their abilities and health.

Passive

Snipers take forever to reload but that’s not the case with Widow’s Kiss, if you successfully eliminates your target it will increase your movement and reload speed.

The fan favorite and youngest among the Shimada brothers, Genji is capable of inflicting massive damage on his foes if you know how to operate his shurikens.

Genji offers a unique skill set that only a few can master, and if you are one of them, then you have the ability to wipe out the whole enemy team alone.

Active Abilities

1. Deflect – What’s better than hitting the enemies with their own bullets? Genji’s deflect allows him to direct incoming fire in different directions.
2. Swift Strike – It will enable Genji to dash toward the enemy to inflict damage or in the air to cover the big distance; if you eliminate an enemy while dashing, the cooldown will reset, and you can perform another dash right away.

We discuss Genji and forget about the elder Shimada brother; that’s impossible. Hanzo and Genji go way back in history, and we don’t want to touch that emotional story again, but apart from that, Hanzo is a master of stealth and assassination.

Hanzo is a bit old-fashioned, and we have no complaints about it as he can inflict such damage from his Storm bow that no other modern weapon can compare. He stayed among the best DPS heroes for a very good while in Overwatch, and now you have a chance to experience his might in OW 2.

Active Ablities

Reaper got his name due to the lethal skillset he has to offer.

1. Shadow Step – if you are scared of ghosts, then you should be scared of reaper as well. He can teleport and flank his enemies before them even noticing him.
2. Wraith Form – This ability allows him to become invulnerable to incoming damage for a certain time.

Here’s where things get even more exciting: every bullet you land on your enemy provides you a healing in return, which means as long as you are firing, you don’t have to worry much about your health.
