3 Best Overwatch 2 Heroes that Valorant Players should Use
These are the heroes whose abilities are very similar to their Valorant counterparts.
- Reaper for Omen Players
- Junkrat for Raze Players
- Hanzo for Sova Players
Below are all the abilities, that are exactly, or nearly them same for both the heroes. So these characters should be more or less easy to use in the next game irrespective of which you played first.
Reaper
- Shadow Step: Omen’s Shrouded Step takes quite a lot of inspiration from this ability. Be it in the name or how it works. Reaper can use Shadow Step to mark a destination and teleport himself there.
Junkrat
- Concussion Mine: This works the same as what Raze players are used to with the Blast Pack. Junkrat can place his concussion mines and use them to damage enemies and push them away or send them flying upwards. Or you can use Concussion Mine to propel or launch yourself in the air.
- RIP-Tire: Junkrat’s Ultimate also has many similarities with Showstopper. But instead of launching a rocket, Junkrat uses a motorized tire bomb. This tire can even climb over walls and obstacles. Junkrat also gets to decide whether to manually detonate it remotely or let it explode on its own.
Hanzo – Best Overwatch 2 Hero for Valorant Players
- Sonic Arrow: Sova’s Recon Bolt is quite very similar to the Sonic Arrow of Hanzo. The only major difference Hanzo’s ability does not make the arrow bounce. Other than that both of the abilities reveal any players that come in its detection range.
- Dragonstrike: Sova’s Hunter’s Fury also has many similarities to Dragonstrike. It is a one-time move unlike the three shots of Hunter’s Fury. But while it may only be a single shot it does a lot of damage to its targets that come in its path. And while both abilities have the capability to pass through walls, Dragonstrike has infinite travel distance.
