The Most Harmful Hero Combos in Overwatch

Lucio and Mercy have conflicting playstyles and lack synergy, making them one of the worst support combos in the game.

Sigma and Genji operate on different axes, with Sigma wanting to poke and Genji wanting to dive, resulting in poor synergy.

Certain hero combinations, like Winston-Torbjorn, have fundamentally different playstyles and objectives, making them ineffective when played together.

To ensure better team performance, choose heroes that align with the composition types of poke, brawl, or dive.

It is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of hero combinations and adapt your playstyle accordingly for better results.

Can you still win with bad hero combinations?

—While it is possible to win with bad hero combinations, it requires individual players to pop off individually rather than working together as a team.

What if my best heroes don't synergize well with my teammates' heroes?

—In such cases, it is important to adapt your playstyle and understand the limitations and strengths of your team composition. Communication and coordination are key.

Why is synergy important in Overwatch?

—Synergy is important in Overwatch because it allows for better team coordination, efficient use of resources, and increased chances of winning team fights.

How can I identify hero combinations that lack synergy?

—Look for conflicting playstyles, different objectives, and a lack of ability to enable or help each other. Understanding hero roles and compositions can help identify such combinations.

Should I always avoid bad hero combinations?

—While avoiding bad hero combinations is ideal, it is not always possible. In ranked gameplay, players may prefer certain heroes, and adapting your playstyle and communication can help mitigate the lack of synergy.
