Do the tutorial and don ' t fall in to using 76 because he ' s real comfortable . I wish the tutorial had been another character . As far as picking specific heroes pick ones you ' re interested in . They all have different personalities . But get comfortable with one character from each class . Reinhardt , Zarya , or Winston as a tank . Roadhog and DVa are really DPS . Don ' t worry about a sniper , if you aren ' t good then you don ' t have to be . Don ' t be stubborn . Team fill if you need to . EVEN if you love a character . EVEN if you think you ' re a better DPS . The flexibility of learning different characters is really helpful here . And for christ ' s sake go to the social page in the options and turn off group chat and make team chat auto join . Especially if you ' re going to comp . EDIT An addition
