Overwatch from a trophy standpoint is pretty damn tough.  It essentially has 2 trophies per character for doing specific things.  Example: You have to block a certain amount of damage with one shield (trophy 1), and also kill 4 people at once with your ultimate ability (trophy 2).  Some of these are really easy, others are next to impossible in the scheme of the game.  It also requires you to play well with EVERY character in order to platinum.

To be honest for a team based multiplayer only game it's a horrible list as a lot of trophies require you to play stupid or saving your ultimate to go for trophies completely descouraging team play. It should of just had a more generic trophies like Win 10 games and win 50 games with each character just some longterm ones to work towards.

It's the reason why the planned achievements for Dota 2 were never released as they wanted to encourage teamplay rather than having people building stupid items on useless heroes.

Can't beat sitting in a dorway for 100 games setting up the lasers on Symetra hoping some AoE doesn't blow them up and an opponant is daft enough to run through them so all 7 beams hit for the trophy whislt your team is getting stomped because theres another guy trying some funky trophie also and it's effectively 5v3.

Exactly.  And hell, I was very guilty of the anti-team play the trophies supported only to get my Lucio Floor is Lava trophy.  I main Lucio so I wanted both of his.  The others when they happen I am like "oh neat" but it is hardly a game I try to earn trophies in anymore.
