However, Overwatch has always felt like one of my favourite games even though I so rarely play it. While other hero shooters feel loaded with generic characters, Overwatch’s cast feels full of life and heart. Overwatch 2 - which really might have been a mistake , considering most online shooters use the season model - will apparently include a campaign mode, but I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. Obviously, I love single player games and prefer
PvE to
PvP, but Overwatch won my heart as it is. There’s something about how vibrant the characters are that makes me think I want to see their own journeys, but I’m not sure if I actually trust Overwatch 2 to pull it
Baptiste is also a problem solver I feel, but he's acutely aware that one of the best ways to solve problems is a big hug. I don't imagine he's quite as good at the emotional turmoil as the top two, but his willingness to always listen and, more importantly, be there for you sees him land the bronze medal in this made-up l
I'm sure Sigma could design a tank fairly well, and might even be able to get his hands dirty enough to maintain and fix one. But driving one? Nah. Sigma's a nerd, and tanks aren't for nerds. Plus, his gravity-based powers don't seem like a good fit for a tank, even if they're a good fit for a Tank. Also the tank too small for he gotdamn f
We've come a long way from the early days of first-person shooters. But with so many to choose from over the past ten years (including something like 387 different Call of Duty titles), which games stood out most to us? Glad you as
Blizzard took the mantle of #1 hero shooter from Valve's Team Fortress 2 in 2016 when they released the best FPS of the 2010s, Overwatch . It's a game that rewards teamwork (unless your teammates are jerks), and with 31 heroes to choose from, there's bound to be a character that suits your play style. Yes, it's had its ups and downs over the years (seems like a lot of downs recently), but that can't take away the hundreds of hours many have put into this excellent shoo
So, let’s crunch the numbers. In a 1v1, it doesn’t matter who you pick (although you should probably play DPS or an off-tank, realistically speaking). 2v2 means you’re missing one role, which means you need to outsmart your opponent. 3v3 is a 1-1-1 formation. 4v4 has the opposite strategic makeup to 2v2, in that you can field one of each role and tactically decide which one to choose for your fourth player. 5v5 is shit. 6v6 is how it is now. 7v7 gives you one extra space on top of having one hero from each role and sub-role, and 8v8 does the same but with two extras. 9v9 is 3v3, which actually sounds great provided it would hypothetically be implemented alongside larger m
Before all of the controversy, Blizzard did right by fans by unleashing
Https://Overwatch2fans.com/ upon the gaming world. From merchandise, to charity, to esports, to the player community, it’s hard to deny the impact that Overwatch has had since its release, even prior to the #
BoycottBlizzard movement. The game also has the best healer in the history of gaming: Mercy. If Mercy is on your team, there’s no way you can lose. After all, "Heroes never d
While the main tank functions in this way, the off-tank is doing every tanky job the main tank doesn’t have time for - protecting support heroes, supplementing damage heroes, and tending to any objective that requires a big, chunky health bar. From Roadhog’s hook to Zarya’s bubbles, each off-tank has some degree of authority over space manipulation, too, which allows them to use the main tank’s anchorage to support more active area control. They’re an essential part of fluid, facile, and fantastic Overwatch - and guess what? They’ll be the first on the chopping block when it moves to
Bulletstorm is the last single-player shooter I played that I had literally no issue with. Those Wolfensteins were great, but the level design was blah. Doom was fun, but got repetitious. Titanfall 2 just, ah... didn't do it for me, sorry! Bulletstorm , though? This was a non-stop jolt of pure adrenaline that went tearing out the gate and never let up until the credits started rolling. A mechanical marvel with a whip-smart script, they don't make games like this anymore - and they really sho
Zenyatta is a cold, unfeeling robot. He may offer some mystic advice that tries, in its own way, to be helpful, but I don't see much of it being any useful. At best you get a fortune cookie and at worst you get HAL. Bottom of the l
I am really struggling on where to put Zarya. She's a Russian soldier with arms like Redwoods, so I think tanks would come fairly naturally to her. Then again, it has been heavily speculated that Zarya is gay, and we all know gays can't drive. A pickle. Maybe she'd aim well but struggle with three-point turns. Let's put her in fourth and stop worrying about

In any case, Winston has the opposite problem of Wrecking Ball. He's a big ol' gorilla, and therefore too large for the tank. He's above Wrecking Ball entirely because if you could squeeze him in there (give him a big buttery butt or something), he could probably make a go of it. But also, even then he'd probably break the controls, so second bottom it
