One thing that many players have been noticing, present company included, while jumping back and forth between Overwatch on PC and console is that there is much less support on console. We don’t mean that Blizzard is supporting the game any less, but rather that players don’t seem to pick the support class as often as offense and tanks.

For many this won’t be a big deal. You yourself may want to pick it up on console just so you can fill that role. But those who understand the dynamic of Overwatch and its myriad of modes may find this to be a deal breaker. It’s not all about getting the kill, helping your teammates is just as important as anything else out there.

Of course, this may just be a temporary difference. As time goes on, consoles, which are used to FPSs like Call of Duty, will get into the flow and embrace support. But as things stand right now, everyone’s just gunning.
