With the increase in mutliplayer, co-operative and online games, websites offering ‘looking for group’ or LFG services have exploded. Not one to be left behind, Blizzard has added an Overwatch LFG to the official forums.

An LFG is a place where players looking for others with specific games or goals in mind can do so. An Overwatch LFG lets players find unique groups of players and classes.
