Overwatch: Inital impressions

A picture is worth a thousand words, and each image below uses every single one to tell of my frustration. That said, I’ll add some captions so you know exactly what I’m feeling.

There’s so much wrong with the team on this selection screen. I was moving from left to right to try to fix as many issues as I could with my own character, but to no avail. No one else wavered from their initial selection.

This is one of my favourites. Those three guys REALLY wanted to be Reaper.

See? I try to fill gaps, but sometimes one character can’t make a huge difference.

The biggest tips I come across usually revolve around no tanks or support. I usually end up going support. I have no idea if this is a good decision or not.

This guy didn’t realise his microphone was on, so while he and two others played as Widowmaker, all I could hear was his heavy breathing.

Oddly enough, most of the teams above didn’t do very well. Teams that paid attention and worked together? Well, that’s an entirely different story.

Don’t get us wrong: we’re having quite a bit of fun despite what’s above. Expect our proper review soon.
