Info
Hit points represent how much damage you can take before dying. There are four kinds of hit points: health, armor, shields, and barriers.
Health
All heroes have at least 50 health. It takes damage after all other hit points are depleted, and receives healing before all other hit points do.
When a player has less than half of their health remaining, a critical health icon is visible on their location to all of their teammates that are healers.

Armor
Whenever armor takes damage, it reduces the damage by half, but not by more than 5 damage per individual hit. This makes weapons that deal more than 10 damage per hit more effective at damaging armor, because more gets through with each attack. Critical hits Headshot, also referred to as critical hit, is a type of damage modifier in Overwatch triggered when striking an opponent s head. They double the damage of normal attacks. For instance, Hanzo s arrow normally does 125 double damage before any armor reduction.
