As for healers, anyone that can boost his speed will make Reinhardt a bigger threat than ever. Lucio’s speed boost makes a lot of difference, and his movement and attack speed during Kiriko’s ultimate are devastating. Mercy can also be very helpful here; she’d compensate for Lucio’s low healing and, since she’s very fragile, being close to the most resistant shield in the game has its benef

For a massive primate wielding a lightning cannon, Winston is a remarkably nice guy. He’s responsible for calling the old Overwatch 2 Skins crew back together in the first place, which shows you how important his friendships are to him, even his most estranged relationsh

What better gift to get the strongest woman in the game (aside from maybe Junker Queen – that’s an arm-wrestling contest we’d pay to see) than a fresh new set of gym equipment ? That way she doesn’t have to simply dead lift her massive weapon anymore. Those core muscles will thank us la

Gift shopping during the holidays can be a pretty tough task. Before you go hunting for the hottest products of the season and racing other customers to the best sales, it helps to have a good idea of what everyone on your list wants this year. But what if your list consists of a music-obsessed gravity lord or a hamster that operates a giant robotic wrecking b

The Magneto to our Zenyatta, our evil Omnic with his multiple forms can excel a lot with good teamwork around him. Despite being a tank, his survivability isn’t as good compared to others, so any pocket healer will already change things a lot for him. Mercy or Ana helping him makes a big change. Ana, in particular, can also turn Ramattra into a true menace by Nano boosting him during his ultimate, making sure no one survives. With a Lúcio to speed him up as well, Ramattra might just get rid of every

Funny enough, snipers will have a good time with your flanking as well. Piledriver (the slam attack) sends all enemies into the air in a rather predictable pattern. That makes headshots quite easy to perform. Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Ashe can use that a lot in their fa

Instead, how about a nice pair of headphones? Sigma sees astrophysics and the universe’s various elements in musical terms, so maybe a few new tunes could change his outlook on life. If “that melody” stuck in his head was a Katy Perry summer anthem, it could make him a bit less homicidal. Or a bit more. Who can

Voice lines and emotes sparked a flame of romance, and fans wasted no time turning this into something special. It warms my heart to this day, and Pharah’s reveal as a lesbian has already seen countless comics and pieces of art resurface that solidify how much this confirmation means to us. But thanks to Activision Blizzard being a heartless corporation that relies on LGBTQ+ representation to wash over its sins out of convenience rather than progress, our adoration has already been euthanized.

We’re gifting Widowmaker a security system this holiday season , which will hopefully limit the number of unwanted guests popping up on her doorstep, or her basement, or on one of those confusingly designed balconies around back. Heck, a doorbell camera might have helped stop Talon from breaking in, kidnapping her, and turning her into a husband-murdering sniper in the first place. Maybe. They do have a dude who can phase out of existence, after

One of the founding members of Overwatch, Ana’s skills are well-proven at this point. She’s on par with Widowmaker as far as sniping goes, and she’s one of the bets Support characters in the game. Just as long as you’re asking her to support her team, and not, like, her actual family or whate

The critics are justified – queer representation in a game as globally recognised as Overwatch 2 shouldn’t become a political scapegoat as its publisher fails to cover up its own corruption. The conspiracy that characters in this game are assigned queer identities out of desperation as opposed to excellent writing and realistic dynamics isn’t that far-fetched. We can’t trust Blizzard enough to believe that it was always the plan to reveal Soldier 76, Tracer, or Pharah as queer, even though it might be true. It doesn’t deserve that trust anymore, but this shouldn’t negate what personal value we assign to characters who are now canon in their identities, especially after years of projecting ourselves onto them with stories and ideas that outgrow what the game is capable of. Feeling pride in Pharah’s reveal as a lesbian is valid, I just wish it wasn’t sullied.

We’d also learn more about Zarya’s life before Overwatch and experience Russia during the Omnic Crisis. A sports game centred around Zarya’s weightlifting and bodybuilding prowess is another option for a fun title and could feature the ability to work out with the mighty h

In an ordinary fight, two supports are unlikely going to fight one another in a one-on-one situation, but there are some support heroes that can aid the rest of the team to make Lifeweaver feel a lot more redunda
