Marvel Rivals shares Overwatch's core team-based shooter DNA but introduces critical differences including destructible environments, 6v6 team composition, and powerful team-up abilities that reward coordination between specific hero pairs.

Focus on learning one role deeply first, and don't sleep on the team-up synergy system — it can swing entire matches.
