Just like in any other FPS game, there are support players, there are utility players and then there are fraggers. Although Overwatch is a high-paced game with only semi-dependent on actual weapon-based abilities, there are champions in the game with the highest damaging abilities. These champions, often called ‘Damage Dealers’ or simply DPS, are the ultimate duelists and have the sole purpose of getting as many frags as possible. Overwatch’s beta test run gave the players a general idea that this installment of the series is definitely looking at buffed DPS heroes and a faster playstyle and relies on the Damage role to be at the top of the scoreboard....
