Is it better to learn as a absolute newbie 1v1 or 6v6
An individual can play. You don't need a team. The game will find a team for you to play in.
Once you're in a team, you can play any character (hero), and switch to another hero any time.
And definitely play 6v6.
The beauty of Overwatch is that it has elements for casual players as well as serious gamers.
Some heroes are aim-intensive ---> caters to gamers.
Some heroes require no aim at all ---> caters to casual players.
In general:
2 big fat
'tanks' tend to be in front shielding their team or absorbing hits.
2 medium-sized
'shooters' stays behind them & shoot.
2 small skinny
'healers' try to keep everyone alive from the back.
(which is not easy since enemy
shooters can sneak around your team to bypass the beefy
tanks & kill vulnerable
healers)
All 3
'roles' have heroes that require minimal or
no aim at all.
Example:
That big monkey
tank, shoots electricity that follows the enemy no matter where they move.
You do not have to aim your crosshair at the enemy, you just have to keep them in your screen.
If you can see them, they get hit. Sounds too easy?
That ease comes with a trade-off:
The monkey only shoots at short-range. So you have to be smart at staying safe until you can get close enough to shoot.
Meanwhile, the enemy wants to shoot your monkey from afar before you can get close and shoot back.
It's a strategic dance between you & your target.
Sure, it's easy to kill them once you're in range (no need to aim.)
But first you gotta get close.
