Trying to get my brother to understand Overwatch
So my older brother (24) recently got Overwatch cuz he saw I always was playing it and decided to try it out. He's used to playing games like COD and Titanfall where you don't really have to play as a team to be successful. You can just kinda go where you want and kill who you want and be good.
Because of that, he's having a lot of trouble understanding how this game works and he starts raging at it. I've explained it's a very team based game where you have to stay with your team and help them to make progress and be successful but it doesn't seem to help.
He doesn't seem to understand how each character has a counter even though I've explained that too. For example, he's been trying to play McCree and he's been having trouble with him. In his head, "every character is better than this guy" so I told him McCree is a character you have to have good aim with to be good. And I told him characters like Reaper and Genji are good counters to him if they get too close so you have to be careful around them.
And he gets mad that, apparently, he can shoot someone multiple times and they don't die but someone can shoot him once or twice and he dies. To which I told him every character has different damage output and potential at certain ranges but by this point he was too mad to really be listening to me anymore.
He's always saying the game makes no sense, and I keep telling him you have to learn the game. It's a very different kind of shooter it isn't your regular COD and you have to play the game a while to really understand what's happening and be good. And he thinks that's stupid and that he should be able to "jump right in and be able to be effective"
And then he'll watch me play and be like "how are you so good with all this" and again I'll just tell him I've been playing it for months. I know the ins and outs of this game so I know how to be decent. I also know how to stay with the team and pick characters that would be effective.
So any tips on helping my older brother get this stuff through his head? Or helping him just be able to wrap his head around this game?

Your older brother seems rather straightforward in how he plays. Here's a few Heroes that may inherently click with him. [b]Soldier 76[/b]: Pretty easy Hero to learn yet very hard to truly master. Assault rifle will be an easy concept for a CoD player, the Helix Rockets can act as a type of grenade launcher for him, and the healing means he can last longer in fights if he does get low on health. [b]Reinhardt[/b]: High health, shield and a hammer. All your brother has to learn how to do is protect his team at times and know when to charge in and start going ham. [i]Note: Do NOT play an offensive Reinhardt in Competitive. [/i] [b]Pharah[/b]: Easy to learn assuming you know how an RPG works. Concussion Blast will knock enemies out of cover and into the line of fire, your jetpack will keep you afloat and hard to hit.

Titanfall =/= CoD. Teamplay is essential.

10 RepliesMeh, Overwatch is pretty much just Team Fortress 3 and has been overhyped by Blizzard as their dumb meme game to get cash currently. It's nothing special and there's nothing grand or deep to really "get" about it. It basically is to FPS games what Smash Bros for Wii U is to fighting games. A pretty shallow, pretty looking, kinda goofy, simple little game to play with friends.

I think he's had too much CoD. Give him time. Let him spectate you while you play. Explain to him what a tank is, and the roles of every hero. That's step one. Step two is explaining how you can't just kill the entire enemy team alone (most of the time) and you'll need your team to help you, like how you help them. Then let him play soldier 76.

My brother has been the same way. Likes playing the game but not a match goes by that i don't hear "what was that?" Or like just 5 minutes ago he was spectating me playing d.va saying "why are you doing so little damage, that doesn't make any sense". Having never played mmo's or moba's terms like "tank" and "harasser" escape him. That CoD logic is hard to break from for some people.

Edited by Kirby235711: 12/28/2016 1:41:02 AMSomeone coming from games that are mostly tdm would probably have an easier time in 3v3 since there's no objective. As for teaching him counters, try some 1v1 custom matches with only Winston, Genji, and Bastion enabled. They're the closest to rock-paper-scissors that I can come up with, so that should be a good start. Also, have him play a few matches as each character so he can learn what they do. Finally, show him some of these: http://imgur.com/BFiYIxy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYt7vByulVQ http://68.media.tumblr.com/78251baa8bd8f06a52704d119ad2ee8e/tumblr_oci3orJG5O1sk0j4ao1_1280.png

Tell him he belongs on the short bus.

Edited by Hippo_Legacy: 12/28/2016 4:34:00 PMYou just gotta let him go back to CoD. In games people seen to either understand how to play with a team or they dont, your brother is clearly one of those people that doesnt. He's not having fun and I guarantee the people on his team aren't having fun, spotting the CoD kids is easy on a game like that and it's very frustrating to watch someone continually ignore the team and do their own thing.

Pr just tell him to sell that piece of trash game back and go play something good

5 RepliesTell him to play Healers until he understands the game better.

1 ReplyLet him play Mystery heroes for at least a week. If he dies a lot then it gives him more opportunities to try other heroes. As long as he doesn't jump off the map to get Soldier: 76.
