i love hearing my friends talk abt games i dont have any idea how they work
you: [talking abt heals, tanks, damage, columns n shit]
me: i like your funny words magic man!
HELLLLP SO BASICALLY RIGHT
a normal team at the moment consists of five members and you separate them as: 1 tank (loads of health, meant to be dealing and taking the most damage and getting the most kills), 2 supports (the healers of the team who's main goal is to keep everyone alive. can also do damage and kill but their whole point is healing) and 2 damages (have the same health as supports aka much less than a tank, whole point of them is mainly to target enemy supports so that the tank players can then kill the enemy tank without them being healed repeatedly).
supports obviously can do more than a tank or damage as they also will have abilities to heal. when you look at the leader board of a game (what that picture is a screenshot of) there two sections to it; one thats a ratio labelled E:A:D which stands for Eliminations : Assists : Deaths aka how many kills you have to assists to how many times you've died. The other half is pure stats. It tells you how much damage you've done to the enemies, how much damage you've healed and then how much damage you've mitigated aka how much you've blocked with a shield (some heroes have shields they can either hold or place down).
#so to explain this#if you looked at the first guy on the leader board in the image you sent.#thats a tank player and you can tell by the little icon of the shield they have at the beginning ! each role has a different icon#they have 91 kills : 31 assists : 5 deaths#which is rlly good considering i would be at least 25 deaths BAHAHA#and then they've done 208k damage which is pretty incredible but also understandable entirely for a tank#the character he's playing cant heal so 0 healing and then with his shield we see he's mitigated 84k damage !#theres tons of different gamemodes in overwatch but this is the basics#lmk if this makes 0 sense BAHAHAH#probably does...
