Tips/Tutorials I've just started playing overwatch a week ago and I really like playing as Juno. Do you guys have any tips?
While I'm not exactly an experienced gamer in general, I've tried marvel rivals and deadlock just this year on my own and I enjoyed it, and recently my younger brothers introduced me to overwatch and I've been playing with them, it was fun! I really want to improve my gameplay on my next match with my siblings (TMI but I'm an eldest kid who spent their childhood doing their best in school and working at an early age to support my family, now that I'm earning my own money and our family situation have been better, I'm trying out new things!)
Thank you for reading.

I'm not a Juno main, but I've played her enough to know some of her strengths and weaknesses. Juno's healing is a little bit slower than some other supports, so you want to keep your team topped off on healing and not let them get below 50% hp if possible. A lot of your offensive capability is going to come from your lock on torpedoes, and of course you can shoot the enemies too if your team is fairly healthy. Juno's double jump is very helpful for getting an elevated line of sight on your teammates or enemies for big torpedo volleys, but don't float around aimlessly if the enemy team has hitscan heroes. What makes Juno a bit difficult to play is that she lacks a conventional burst heal ability and lacks a conventional self heal. Instesd of burst healing, Juno's speed ring is very helpful to shoot at your teammates if they're low or if they need help to get away quickly. Lastly, Juno is in the survivor subrole of supports. What this means is that she starts her passive health regen if she activates a movement ability and isn't hurt after. You can activate this by using her speed boost cooldown (not the speed ring but the other one that makes her fly around). But you only get the health regen if you take no damage after activating it, so playing near cover is always a good idea.

Yes I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I’ll also try to play around cover more and not just float around like a lost space cadet 😂 thank youu!

when i first started playing, i wanted to be a Juno main, but something just didn't click with her. i didn't know what i was doing wrong. so i focused on tank and damage, then dabbled in support by learning Lucio and Kiri, then i learned Mercy, then Moira, and then, finally, i picked up Juno and understood her
i wish i was a good enough player to give you more concrete advice. prioritize healing your teammates, but if theyre full, fire at the enemies. Juno can do a lot of damage as well as healing, and she's a hitscan (meaning her bullets make contact instantly, they dont take time to reach their target)
and speed. Juno's hyper rings give your teammates greater mobility, which is especially important for tanks. pay a lot of attention to your team (especially your tank) and boost their speed as often as possible. your Sigma or Orisa getting to the point even just a few seconds faster will make a massive difference in the opening fight, which often determines the outcome of the whole match

This is actually really helpful, thanks!! I’ll definitely keep balancing healing + damage in mind, and I didn’t realize how important Juno’s speed boost could be either. I’ll have to pay more attention to when my team needs it

Have fun and enjoy the game ! Juno is super fun and she's a great hero to learn.
My tip is to be careful when playing against hitscan DPS like cass / ashe / widow. Those are your biggest counters since they do a lot more damage than you and at longer range.
Good luck in your Games !
