Overwatch 2 duos!

Overwatch 2 is a live game that lets you team up with friends across platforms and devices. It has a diverse number of characters to pick from and here are some duos that I’ve played in the game!!

  1. Ashe & Cassidy.

Truthfully, the only thing is that they’re both from Texas and have lor! Nothing about their gameplay is particularly made for duos, but it’s an honorable mention due to being the first one I ever played. They do both have ultimate’s that are terrifying to hear at the same time. Ashe has B.O.B, a big robot butler that she throws out and he eliminates everyone in his path. Cassidy has Deadeye, which means he can auto lock on a few people and eliminate everyone in his sight (Also, there’s a tumbleweed.)

2. Reaper & Sombra.

Probably the most fun of all of the ones I can name, but definitely the most annoying to play against. This duo makes it very easy to sneak behind teams, since both characters are stealth characters. Plus, their ultimate’s work together really well. Sombra’s being EMP while hacks the enemy for a short amount of time. Reaper’s being death blossom which pretty much eliminates the entire team, especially when they can’t use abilities.

3. Mercy & Brigitte.

One of the most efficient support duos! Brigitte heals when she does damage, so having a mercy pocketing her the entire game isn’t necessarily that bad. Mercy damage boosting Brigitte while she’s healing the entire team is a great strategy!

4. Moira & Ana.

Moira and Ana can both do amazing healing if needed, but Moira does a lot of damage for no reason! They work well together due to Ana’s ultimate which is a nano boost. Moira’s ultimate is coalescence which allows her to shoot out a huge beam of healing for allies, and damage to opponents. Moira being nano boosted while doing that is bound to eliminate a few people.

5. Bastion & Mei.

Two of the nicest people in overwatch probably. Mei and Bastion make a great duo, their sitting emotes together make me so happy. Mostly their ultimate’s that go together. Mei can freeze the entire team if positioned correctly, her ultimate being blizzard. Bastion is able to take out however many people she froze with his ultimate Configuration: Assault which allows to drop three missiles. 

6. Hanzo & Widowmaker.

Despite Hanzo being the best character ever and Widowmaker being the worse person in the game (I’m a hater), this duo works pretty well if you’re good at them. Both characters take a specific amount of skill to play them. Imagine having that much aim on your team? Then their ultimate’s, Widowmaker’s is Infra-sight, which gives the whole team the ability to see opponents wherever they are for a short amount of time. Hanzo’s ultimate is called Dragonstrike. He shoots these two huge dragons out of his bow. They only go in a straight line which isn’t a problem if you can see through walls, right?

7. Symmetra & Echo.

Honestly, their color palettes match and so do their sitting emotes, but that’s kind of it. A lot of duos are mostly for appearance wise for me, including Ashe and Cassidy. Echo does so much damage and her ultimate, duplicate, allows her to duplicate anyone on the opponent team. Symmetra’s ultimate is Photon barrier which puts up a giant shield, the team can walk through it, but it is definitely useful at time. Plus, her turrets are very useful and do tons of damage. Other than them being fancy that’s about it.

  1. I don’t play Overwatch, so I had no idea that there were compatible duos. I thought it all depended only on the team. This is enlightening.

    1. Mostly depends on the teams, but two good supports/damages are always extremely useful. Some of these will fail if they’re countered. Gonna end my yapping now

  2. I know absolutely nothing about overwatch and I’m not a big video game person, but this gave such a fun insight into character pairings that I actually felt myself getting into it. overwatch just got a bit more interesting to me
