"Overwatch" continues to be all the rage at the moment, especially as Blizzard, the company that produced and developed the game, continues to introduces new updates and additionals into the main campaign. But despite the game's longevity in the market, many players just can't seem to nail certain hero-specific mistakes until now. Here are detailed tips and tricks on how to better play "Overwatch's" heroes with ease.

How to better handle D.Va

Thanks to an upcoming update on "Overwatch," tank hero D.Va is among those affected by the patch. Gamespot reported that while the patch improves her health points, her armor and overall power was decreased. "Overwatch" lead designer, however, assured players that D.Va's damage per shot is more consistent than before and now enjoys a greater variety on the PTR.

Despite the update, D.Va remains the most powerful defense hero in "Overwatch." In fact, the adjustments made on D.Va was for her to have legitimate counters since powerful heroes like Reaper can have a tough time trying to get through her Defense Matrix, according to a forum post on Blizzard's website.

As such, "Overwatch" players who want to make it difficult for enemy DPS should play her, since her damage denial is really high. D.Va is especially useful when it comes to encounters with a Lucio main as well as n crossfires, according to PVP Live.

Other heroes: Reinhardt, Mei and Mercy

Other "Overwatch" heroes that players can take advantage of include Reinhardt, Mei and Mercy. Of the three, Mei is the force to be reckoned with, thanks largely to her Ice abilities. The main thing with playing her in the campaign is knowing which opponents to take down. This means no opponents with flying abilities.

Reinhardt players, meanwhile, often make the mistake of activating his shield too early in "Overwatch." As such, players need to learn how to time it right and moderate shield use, especially since his shield needs recharging. Mercy players, too, are often tempted to play for high-value Resurrects. Instead, they should opt for the key revives.
