If players want to be an utter nuisance to the enemy team, look to Wrecking Ball, a cheeky hamster in a mechanical ball that can roll around the battlefield, distracting enemies, and harboring a large pool of health and shield thanks to the Adaptive Shield ability, which grows his health pool depending on the threat of enemies that are around him. Wrecking Ball is a great choice, and easily distracts foes, but he is going to require practice and a skilled hand, as players can easily leave their team without a tank due to one unfortunate mist

Combined with smooth and incredible gameplay, a cheery art style, and a bevy of free content that regularly includes new heroes, maps, and events every month, Overwatch has overshadowed Team Fortress 2 as the premier hero shooter. That's the reason why a lot of developers are still desperately trying to make their own Overwatch to this

In a landscape filled with gruff military dudes and futuristic warfare emerged a bright, colourful, diverse, and experimental game that pushed the genre forward and tried new things in fresh, exciting ways. Each match was fast and rewarding, while its sprawling cast of heroes all connected with players and meant something to them. It was evolutionary, but this innovation would bring with it some irksome industry trends and a complacency that would see Blizzard transform into a company that is now widely despised. How things change.

Despite locking certain modes away until new players have earned them, actually selecting what you want to play and jumping into a game is seamless. Much like the title screen, not much here has changed when compared to the first entry. Things are simple and easy to read, while updating character designs have been thrown onto each icon and pop with real visual flair. With any luck, PvE will be an option on this menu in just a few short months.

Roadhog is easy to counter, and is basically just a slower damage character with more health than normal. His Take a Breather healing ability is still somewhat nice, but the meta isn't forgiving for Roadhog, as he's easy to eliminate when focused and offers little protection for himself and his all

If you owned the original Overwatch or pick up the Watchpoint Edition of Overwatch 2 you’ll unlock all heroes right away, otherwise free-to-play users will need to play a total of 100 matches to earn the entire roster, and that doesn’t include Kiriko unless you’ve already purchased the premium version of that battle pass. That make sense? I didn’t think so.

Overwatch 2 will likely be a success. The original game was just too big of a hit for the game to suffer a Battleborn- esque failure. Even if a lot of players have fallen off in recent times, the allure of a sequel will be too tempting for most to res

The cosmetic menu has also received some cool updates, making it much easier to navigate and understand. Bold text is used to distinguish categories while a single glance at the menu is enough to see exactly what you have equipped at any given time. Seeing all of my unlocks transfer over to Overwatch 2 competitive guide 2 was also a sad reminder of how much time I’ve poured into this series. My accounts haven’t even combined yet either, so I promise you I have more than 14 D.Va skins to my name. All the voice lines unlocked too, I am dedicated to my girl.

While it's been announced that PvE missions will introduce various items that can be picked up - which will grant boosts like healing and shields - some sort of grabbable items and/or weapons for PvP could really make things interesting. Something similar to Smash Bros Ultimate , which tosses a myriad of game-changing items at you, could add an additional element of chaos and

While Overwatch has made for a truly fun and exhilarating competitive shooter, one key element it's been lacking is PvE. Sure, we've gotten limited-time events like Junkenstein's Revenge but these are few and far between and don't exactly have a ton of substa

The game's initial trailer also revealed the inclusion of customizable abilities, which will likely include tweakable visual flair for hero Ultimates. This array of personalized features should make for an even more chaotic and dynamic experience in O

Still, it would at least make sense to allow for cross-play across the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch servers. This would open the doors for an even more vast pool of potential players, essentially ensuring you won't deal with ghost town lobbies. There is a likelihood Blizzard will ultimately implement this, but as of now, it's just a ru

A returning enemy type from BlizzCon 2019, Slicers are little bird-like Omnics that Blizzard internally refers to as "chickens." These bots seem to come in packs, posing a minor threat on their own but deadly with numbers. Little is known about how they attack players, if at all (these could be another form of "objective units," which Blizzard discusses in the vid
