I've seen a lot of posts and comments discussing Positioning and for something discussed so often it seems to still confuse a lot of players. I put together a 6 minute no-nonsense guide to help new and metal ranked players understand what positioning is and the key factors that go into it. My name's Hayete and I'm a Masters/GM level DPS player. This guide covers topics such as:
Cover
- Fixed vs. Temporary
- Vertical vs. Horizontal
- High ground
Angles
- Off Angle vs Flank
Repositioning
- Awareness
- V Concept
Overextending
Strong vs. Weak Positioning
Of course there are LOTS that go into positioning and many different scenarios that could be discussed. However, my hope is that, for players new to Overwatch or Lower ranked, this will help give you a foundational understanding of what Positioning is and how to better your own in game.
