OW2 Heroes Companion 12+

Exactly what I’ve been looking for!!

This app is wonderful! I’m able to easily keep track of hero information (e.g. synergies, counters, weapon/ability info, lore) without having to frantically scroll through the wiki before a match begins. Although I’ve been playing since OW’s release, this app is still teaching me new things all the time! I highly recommend this to any new players who want to get better at team composition and/or countering. It will really up your game!

Feedback: In addition to the information currently provided, I think it would be really helpful to add a “counters” section in addition to the “countered by” section. For example, in Ana’s section, it notes that Kiriko counters her, but it doesn’t tell me that Ana counters Roadhog. It would be nice to have both pieces of countering info in one place!

In addition, it might be nice to have a way to filter for specific information. For example, if I only wanted to see counters/synergies, I should be able to toggle on/off the weapon info, lore, etc. This could make split-second team comp adjustments a little easier and potentially faster. Although, to be fair, I don’t see this as necessary at all and would probably only save a few extra milliseconds.

P.S. thank you to the developer for making this app for us! I can tell that a ton of work has gone into it! Plus, it’s a super helpful resource to have on hand :)

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for the kind words and the detailed feedback! I really appreciate it! Your suggestion to add a "countered by" section is something that's definitely been on my mind. If I add that feature, I'd want to display the info differently (three sections could be confusing) and probably structure the data in a new way to ensure consistency. But yeah, this would be high on my priority list for improvements.

Absolutely fantastic app!

I was using the wikis to learn OverWatch’s damage numbers, synergies, etc., but the websites are so slow and they crash constantly. So I looked up this app and downloaded it. It is so awesome! The information is cleanly laid out and organized and easy to find. I’m slowly memorizing all the numbers but I have to check back often and this app helps me to do that easily. This app has all the information about all abilities, like how much damage/healing they do, how long they last, cooldowns, etc. It also has pretty obscure (but helpful) information like what abilities benefit from Bap’s window.

To whoever created this app: Thank you! You are amazing and have created something so useful to OW players. Big Ups!

Wow, thank you so much! :D

Awesome app

I’m a dev also, and I have to say, this is a really cool personal project. Some cool ideas maybe to add (either way this app is dope) - 1. add if abilities have an interrupt. I straight up interrupted hammer down and sound barrier with Orisas javelin and blew my mind. I’ve also had someone cancel my mech bomb with it, but I think it has to be like the first half sec of the ult, road hogs ult will cancel it also. 2. General info like eh fact that a payload moves fastest with 3 ppl on it, times it takes for health packs to respawn and other general basic tips. 3. Map info, such as a top down map and where all the health packs are. Just some thoughts. At the end of the day 10 outa 10 would recommend.
