The team positions on a TF 2 6s team are:
DPS which is always a demo man
Roamer which is most often a soldier
Medic because you always need that
Pocket someone to guard the medic which is most often a soldier

2 utility position which are often considered Pick and Point. Two players who have a job to pick or kill certain classes or take over points.
These are usually both scout due to their speed and cap rate

Applying that to Overwatch I figured this was a good team
Soldier 76 Roamer
Hanzo PICK
Winston Pocket
Road Hog DPS
Symetra Utility
Lucio Medic

Looking at http://www.overcounters.com/
Subbing in Pharah and Widow maker for 76 and Hanzo is alot better

Widow maker is kinda a support character because her Ultimate helps everyone on the team. I wish there was a 5th support character that was the equivalent of a TF2 Crossbow medic that had a similar ultimate to widowmakers and had a ranged weapon that healed or hurt. Maybe had a wall climb. That would be all they got. Basically this character would be a hybrid of Hanzo, Zenyatta, and Widow maker

After considering the comments of Flame Axe and Reck more throughly I took a look at the team:
Pharah Roamer
Widowmaker PICK
Winston Pocket
Road Hog DPS
Lucio Medic
Genji Point
Its a good team

i really think there are tons of great situational picks

for example, on all 3 rounds in Lìjiāng, i was able to clear the entire site as reinhardt with just an accompanying mei a couple of times

there are times where certain guys are really good, like winston in the beginning of route 66 on offense, but his utility as a anti sniper sucks at the last leg due to how cramped everything is. typically i change over to junkrat to clear out the corners and get more control

i think they really wanted switching up to be a thing, but maybe i'm just bad

also i think pharah is almost 100% better than 76 in every situation besides maybe short corridors but even then pharah can stutter steps to fuck him up pretty easily

really short games help you forget the stomps. some people treat it like deathmatch but they're usually low level accounts so that may change

So, I'm gonna buy it for PC an add some people..I also am gonna order a PSU and GPU next week so my graphics card does wreck my overwatch experience and the upgrades have been long overdue. 150 or so for 3-4 years of a decent rig is fine.
