Overwatch 2 Stadium Guide: Rounds, Powers, Items and Ranks

Overwatch 2 is a 5v5 team game with a single tank, so every role carries more weight than it used to. Positioning, cooldown trades and knowing when a team fight is already lost matter as much as mechanics.
Our guides cover heroes and matchups for tank, damage and support, team compositions and why they work, positioning on each map type, ultimate economy, and how Competitive ranks work across roles so you can focus your climb.
