What is the Hero Pool?
The Hero Pool lets you pick your preferred heroes for each role. During matches, Counterwatch scores your pool based on the current match context and shows you which of your heroes would perform best.
How to set it up:
- Open the Hero Pool card on your home dashboard
- Click the + button next to a role (Tank, Damage and Support in Overwatch; Vanguard, Duelist and Strategist in Marvel Rivals)
- Select the heroes you play for that role
- Repeat for each role
How scoring works during matches:
Your hero pool is scored based on three factors:
- Counter matchups. How well each hero performs against the enemy team
- Team synergy. How well each hero pairs with your teammates
- Map performance. How each hero performs on the current map
The scores update as new heroes are picked on both teams.
Smart suggestions:
Counterwatch may suggest heroes to add or remove from your pool based on your play history. You can dismiss suggestions you don't agree with.
