The use of acronyms in game lobbies and gaming communities is a norm and it makes gaming really fun and cool. However, many gamers have gotten so used to this that they sometimes misuse these terms, confusing newbies and some veterans as to what context they are being used. Though some slang and phrases can have different meanings depending on the context they are used, some abbreviations are rigid. A good example of a rigid one is DPS. In this article, we will look at what DPS means in Overwatch and other important details about the game every player should be aware of.
Overwatch is a shooter game played from a first-person perspective. The game plot is set after sixty years have passed on a fictional Earth where humans invented robots with artificial intelligence. These robots were referred to as Omnics where strategies were employed to attain economic equality of the robots to the extent that they were treated equally to humans. Then, there was a problem when these robots ganged up to overthrow the humans. The Overwatch forces were formed to put an end to the desires of these robots and restore order to the Earth. The game was developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment back in 2016.
What does DPS mean in Overwatch?
DPS is the acronym for Damage Per Second and is mostly used in multiplayer games. DPS is used to define various types of weapons and characters as well as how much damage they can do in a brief period of time. DPS basically describes a weapon’s capability and is also an easy way for gamers to strategize how to win a match. It can also be said to be the maximum amount of harm inflicted by players or weapons. In Overwatch, players can only select two DPS (Damage Per Second) heroes per game. This is highly relevant in gameplay because having a hero who will be in charge of killing the opponents and also in charge of any form of violence during combat is very important. One very distinguished attribute of these DPS heroes is they have quick escape skills. Undoubtedly, there are different kinds of DPS heroes in Overwatch but few stand out. Here are the best of them:
1) Echo
2) Ashe
3) Windowmaker
4) Hanzo
5) Cassidy
6) Reaper
7) Genji
8) Tracer
