when you attack you choose who to attack between the opponents in the game and opponent planeswalkers, you don't redirect damage. Even with cards that say target player, you can target a planes walker instead, but not redirect damage

I believe that applies to non-combat damage like instants, abilities, or sorceries.  Pretty sure you have to declare a creature as attacking the player or the Planeswalker.

When you declare attackers, you also declare whether each attacker is going after a player or a Planeswalker.
For treating the Planeswalker like a permanent (for {Oblivion Ring} ), you target the Planeswalker directly.
For direct damage, you first have to target the player. Then as damage resolves, you may redirect it to the Planeswalker.
Capice?

.                                                              Or you can just hit the planeswalker because they are players and permanent so you can attack the main player witch if you kill them you win or the side player witch are planeswalkers both can be attacked directly.
