Tips for Playing Ashe in Overwatch: Get Focused with this Sharpshooter

Ah, Ashe – the fiery leader of the Deadlock Gang and one of the newest heroes to join the Overwatch roster. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills with this sharpshooting outlaw, then read on, my friends, for some tips and tricks to help you succeed on the battlefield.

First off, let’s talk about Ashe’s primary weapon – the Viper rifle. This trusty gun has a semi-automatic firing mode, as well as a secondary fire mode that charges up a powerful shot. Make sure to use both modes wisely – the charged shot is great for taking out enemy players from afar, but it leaves you vulnerable while you’re charging it up.

Next up is Ashe’s Dynamite ability. This ability lets Ashe throw a stick of dynamite that explodes after a short delay, damaging and stunning enemies in the blast radius. This can be a great tool for disrupting enemy teams, but make sure to use it wisely – if you miss, you’ll be left vulnerable while the dynamite is still active.

One of Ashe’s most powerful abilities is her Coach Gun, which fires a burst of shots that knock her and any nearby enemies back. This can be a great tool for positioning yourself and your team, as well as for breaking up enemy formations. Just be careful not to use it too often, as it takes a while to reload.

Ashe’s ultimate ability is B.O.B., a giant omnic sidekick who charges into battle and smashes anything in his path. B.O.B. is a formidable force, but make sure to use him wisely – he can be easily countered by enemies with strong crowd control abilities.

So there you have it, folks – some tips and tricks for playing Ashe in Overwatch. Just remember to use her abilities wisely, and always keep an eye on your surroundings. With a little practice and some good aim, you’ll be ruling the Wild West in no time. Happy shooting!

5 Tips for Playing Ana in Overwatch: How to Support Your Team and Dominate the Battlefield

Hey there fellow Overwatch players! Are you tired of getting your butt kicked on the battlefield? Are you in desperate need of some support? Well, fear not – Ana is here to save the day!

As a talented support hero, Ana can provide healing, buff allies, and debuff enemies with her trusty rifle and biotic abilities. But playing Ana effectively requires more than just spamming her biotic grenade and healing dart. To truly excel as Ana, you’ll need to master the following tips:

  1. Stay behind the front lines: As a support hero, Ana’s job is to provide healing and support to her teammates from a safe distance. Stay behind the front lines and avoid getting too close to the enemy team. If you’re caught in the fray, you’ll be an easy target and won’t be able to support your team effectively.
  2. Use your rifle wisely: Ana’s rifle is a powerful tool that can deal significant damage and debuff enemies with her biotic rounds. But be careful – it has a relatively slow rate of fire, so you’ll need to aim accurately and make each shot count. You can also use your rifle to heal allies with your normal rounds, but make sure to save your biotic rounds for debuffing enemy heroes or disabling their ultimate abilities.
  3. Don’t be afraid to sleep enemies: Ana’s sleep dart is a powerful tool that can disable enemy heroes for a short period of time. Use it to disrupt enemy teams, stop enemy ultimates, or protect your allies from incoming threats. Just make sure to aim accurately and be mindful of your positioning, as you’ll be vulnerable while using the sleep dart.
  4. Communicate with your team: As a support hero, Ana relies on good communication and coordination with her teammates. Make sure to use the in-game voice chat to communicate with your team, and keep an eye on your allies’ health bars to know when to provide healing or buff them with your biotic field.
  5. Don’t neglect your ultimate: Ana’s ultimate ability, Nano Boost, can provide a significant boost to an ally’s damage, speed, and defenses. Make sure to use it wisely and at the right moment – for example, you might want to save it for a crucial team fight or to enable an ally’s ultimate ability.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a formidable Ana player and a valuable asset to your team. Just remember to have fun and support your teammates, and you’ll be scoring victory after victory in no time!

Can You Play Too Many Video Games?

Couple Playing Video Games

I’m a gamer and I play a lot of video games. So pardon me for a moment while I get a little philosophical about the question that everyone asks me, “Can you play too many video games?”

Humanity has spent most of its existence in a state of ignorance, believing that the world is flat. As we accumulated more information and became less ignorant, humans realized that the Earth was actually round. This knowledge helped us explore our planet further and discover new ones.
As a species, humans are still rather ignorant. We know that the Earth is round, but we do not know what comprises its core.

The Earth (hint: it’s round) and the structure of its core.

Even in modern day, we are like the primitive man, who believed that the world was flat and thought it was held up by elephants. As we developed our understanding of reality, we realized that this is not true.

However, we will never know for certain whether the world is round or flat. We may come to believe that it is round but there may always be some doubt in our minds.

The same applies to what comprises the core of Earth. We may eventually find out, but we can never know with certainty.

This is the same with video games. One may believe that it is possible to play too many of them, but there will always be some doubt in their mind.

Playing Fortnite

Fortnite on the run

I might be the last person on planet Earth to play Fortnite, but I finally gave it a try. It was good. Not great. Just good.

You probably already know what Fortnite is, but just in case you have avoided it like me, Fortnite is a massive multiplayer online video game released in 2017. It was developed by Epic Games. The game includes three different game modes released as early access: Save the World, Battle Royale, and Creative.

Landing in Fortnite

Fortnite Battle Royale is the free 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. It brings players together on one giant map, with building and destructible environments combined with intense PvP combat. The rules are simple and the win condition easy to grasp: the last player standing wins.

Save the World a cooperative shooter-survival game with up to 4-man squad to fight off husks and defend mission objectives with fortifications and defenses. Along with the arrival of Season 7, Creative mode was introduced. For the first time, players could create their own islands with provided prefabs, devices, and standard Battle Royale weapons and items.

Fortnite Tips

  • Use crouch to reduce your profile, or to hide behind smaller objects.
  • Shotguns, SMGs, and Pistols are effective at close range.
  • To play it safe, land with teammates and stay away from enemy players.
  • You can shoot at trees, rocks, and structures to destroy them.
