Activision Blizzard has run a closed alpha test forOverwatch 2and is now set to do a PvPbeta on April 26, and players that have already had a chance to play the game are giving others tips on map strategies, team compositions, and which heroes to select. Among those giving advice, popular Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel has taken the opportunity to inform his audience as to whichOverwatch 2tank hero he thinks is the best.
During a recent Twitch stream, xQc was discussing his time playing theOverwatch 2alpha now that streamers can share more details about the game that they previously kept quiet on.Overwatchtanks are known for controlling the battlefield and helping their teams move forward, and xQc has an idea of whichOverwatch 2tank is the best at map movement. During a clip that is gaining traction amongst the Twitch community, xQc reveals his favoriteOverwatch 2tank is Doomfist, while he doesn’t have much appreciation for the new Roadhog.

PlayingOverwatch 2as Roadhog leftstreamer xQcfeeling like he was playing the free-for-all game mode at melee range as there wasn’t much he could do to counter enemies at close range, and he was “getting smoked on.” According to xQc, Doomfist is the best tank hero inOverwatch 2because his damage is higher, which produces more eliminations, he can “create chaos and control the fight,” and he can escape from conflict quickly to avoid elimination. MostOverwatchtanks are quite robust and xQc states that Doomfist is able to multitask better than other heroes in the upcoming sequel.
Overwatchfans that are anticipating theOverwatch 2beta on April 26 may be surprised to see some changes made to the game since xQc initially played it. Some of these fixes include four new maps, a new hero and game mode, 5v5, and reworks to multiple characters including the aforementioned Doomfist. The newOverwatch 2mapsare Circuit Royal, Midtown, Toronto, and Rome, while beta players will now have access to the hero Sojourn. In addition, Bastion, Doomfist, Orisa, and Sombra have all been altered.
Although xQc is a big fan ofDoomfist as a tank inOverwatch 2, he admits in the video that the character feels busted, so there may be some changes made to his abilities between now and the official release of the game or through post-launch updates. With moreOverwatch 2beta testers coming on April 26, it’s likely that any issues like the ones pointed out by xQc will be spotted and reported by other players. Given the fact that xQc admits he could even 1v5 certain players as Doomfist, theOverwatch 2tank may already have received some nerfs for the April 26 beta.
Overwatch 2is currently in development for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
