10 Video Games That Make You A Better Gamer

10. Overwatch

Before this entry sparks the whole Team Fortress 2 vs. Overwatch debate, let me say that this point relates to all team-based shooters to some degree or another, whether that's Overwatch, TF2, Paladins, etc.

While many FPS games focus on personal skill, from good aim to reaction times, these games primarily rely on working together, listening to your teammates, and making adjustments when necessary. I use Overwatch as a primary example as many people in the Overwatch community often refer to something called the 'Overwatch Brain', which is knowing the ins and outs of the game.

A good example for how this game differs from other FPS games can be shown through Dr. Disrespect, who is an incredibly skilled gamer yet still struggled to do well when he tried Overwatch, for good aim is one thing but these games also include counter-tactics, positioning, high-ground advantage and so many other things.

It's all well and good to be performing better than anyone on your team, but if you're not working with them then you're probably going to lose. If you're playing a hero which the enemy team are countering, then you're also probably going to lose. Thinking about tactics, hero picks, and combos are key parts to Overwatch which give players a more cohesive understanding of what it means to play with teammates.
