There were a lot of mixed narratives about Carpe coming out of the 2019 season. He shut down all the doubters during Fusion’s opening homestand weekend, though and delivered an iconic Carpe moment in the first map of the first match with a clutch 4K after swapping to Widowmaker in overtime. His stats over the weekend won’t blow anyone out of the water but his presence alone factored caused both the Justice and Mayhem to try and focus on him. He stepped up when he needed to despite the pressure and cemented his return as one of the best players in the lea
When I play Overwatch , I bounce between DPS and Tank heroes. Entirely because of Mercy’s design I have dabbled in Support, but I’m frankly not that great at it, so DPS and Tanks it is. I’m in the mood to write about Overwatch, but at the time of writing Overwatch 2 has not yet launched and the original has been shut down. I missed the beta, haven’t played for at least a year, and I’m nowhere near enough of an expert to comment on anything meaningful. That’s why I’m ranking all of Overwatch’s Tanks by how well they could drive a real t
Here we have the same problem as Winston – Orisa is too big and likely too strong to operate a tank correctly. However, given Orisa is a robot and can therefore be adjusted as needed, I think a solution is in sight, and I also think that solution probably plays out better than greasing a gorilla up with butter. Still, getting a regular human who can drive a tank seems a lot easier than rebuilding a ro
As a – very – casual Overwatch fan , the characters have always been my favourite thing about the hero shooter. They only tell vague stories, but they’re so well designed and are bursting with such life that they feel like bigger characters than they actually are. They’re similar to comic book characters; you don’t need to have read the decades long history between Batman and the Joker, you just see their iconic designs and you instantly feel as if you know them. Whether it’s Ashe and her Wild West gunslinger aesthetic, D.Va’s e-girl vibe, or Winston the science monke, the character designs tell their own stories. That’s why the recent Archives event feels like a big missed opportun
Before all of the controversy, Blizzard did right by fans by unleashing Overwatch 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
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
A lot of Philadelphia’s woes in the 2019 season were blamed on Sado at the main tank position. It wasn’t pretty for him, but he bounced back big time in front of a Philly home crowd to start his 2020 campaign. Sado was the best main-tank throughout the weekend and yes, part of it had to do with his superb support line enabling him, but he played fearless and was decisive with a lot of his decision. His shatters were massive and he ended up setting an Anubis record for most finals blows by Reinhardt with 21. If the confidence can remain, Sado will surprise a lot of people this sea
Prey was a poorly covered game because of the bugs it had at launch, but the game itself is a masterclass in player choice. Narratively, Prey is the only game to effectively solve the disconnect between player and player character, and it does it so carefully and brilliantly that when everything comes together at the end. your mind will be absolutely blown. I think about Prey once a week and the effect it has had on me as a player and a storyteller. My mission in life is to get everyone to play this g
The Florida Mayhem looked strong in the opening match against the Houston Outlaws (doesn’t everyone?) but faltered against a tough Philadelphia team to end the weekend. Through the ups-and-downs, Gangnamjin, the new rookie flex-support shined in his debut. His Ana was incredible and already has some of the best stats in the league for the hero. He will be extremely important for Florida this season if they want to surprise everyone. Gangnamjin is more than capable of performing at a high level, though as he showed all week
As I mentioned before, I haven’t played the Overwatch 2 beta, so I know nothing of Junker Queen besides what she looks like. Still, what she looks like is a person who has been methodically grown in a lab in order to drive a tank, so she places high. Junker Queen also feels symbolic of all my confusing feelings towards overwatch 2 beginner guide|Https://overwatch2Fans.com/. Blizzard seems to have been a hellscape of harassment, and yet they’ve created such a diverse (Black women aside) cast of female characters with a range of body types. For all the oversexualised Widowmakers and Tracers, we had Zarya, Mei, and Moira putting spotlights on different kinds of women too. Junker Queen, with her exposed midriff, has elements of the Windowmaker philosophy, but also seems highly queer-coded and has the sorts of rippling muscles women are often not allowed in popular culture. In any case, good at tanks I rec
