All of the characters have new skins for Overwatch 2, some better, some worse. It’s all down to personal preference, and most of the dedicated players have skins for their main anyway. Even with my limited playtime, I have a simple palette swap skin for Ashe in my closet. With Mei though, the skin seems to fundamentally change

Most of this frustration appears to come down to the fact that Overwatch 2 brought the team size down from six to five. This means there's only one Tank per team, making their choice even more essential. So if there's a clear winner in the category, there isn't much room for experimentat

This comes from one of the most active threads on the Overwatch subreddit, asking players what Heroes they think are most in need of a buff or nerf. While there are a few mentions of nerfing Mercy and Moira's DPS abilities, the conversation quickly turned to Zarya, probably the most-played Tank in Competitive right

I was ready to call it quits and decide that I’d been right, Overwatch simply wasn’t for me, when I misclicked while swapping heroes and ended up as Junkrat. His opening battle cry, "I’ll keep trying till I run out of limbs!" tickled me immediately. "Plenty of bombs to go around!" is a great one, too. I spent two hours playing as him and had a blast, pun inten

They aren't the only Tank player who feels this way. "As a Tank main, it's really no more fun playing her at this point than it is fighting her," says Eefy_deefy "In Competitive it literally feels like I'm throwing if I don't choose her because she can damn near carry a te

Each offers skins related to the event, but most importantly, they offer special game modes that last throughout the event. These events are even the reason to return to the game in case you've stopped. All that said, which one is the best tho

We’re a mix of PC and console players, so having to play in the PC pool means half of us are going to get outclassed in a one on one fight. I tried the new hero Kiriko but couldn’t get the necessary precision down . I did decently with Soldier 76 but found him to be a little bland. I was horrified at the mere sight of Zenyata and Sigma, so steered well clear of them. Seriously, I thought Overwatch was about quirky gay people fighting it out, not hamsters in robotic balls and dudes that can hear the very unive

Live-service games tweak heroes all the time, of course. Hanzo, for example, is likely to get a nerf soon. But this doesn’t feel like a typical tweak to the meta, and instead like Blizzard has changed Mei just because. It’s not only her gameplay that has changed either - it’s her look too, and that’s another major letd

Having one tank in Overwatch has made support a complete nightmare, and it’s made some tanks completely redundant in certain modes. I’ve been playing a lot more Mercy, finding it helpful on defense especially as I flutter from teammate to teammate, frantically keeping them alive while they fend off the enemy’s push. But all it takes to stop that is a Zarya toggling her shield, walking right through all of them, killing me, and then strutting back to safety. The lone tank is busy holding the line and the DPS are busy killing the enem

However, one Redditor wrote to Blizzard about this, and it turns out that it was an error. OW1 skins should not have been tagged as 'new', and should be redeemable via Legacy Credits . The customer support team asked them to submit a bug report after receiving their tic

Mei mains felt a chill down their spines when they learnt that the Hero would be temporarily disabled in Overwatch 2 due to a glitch with her abilities. It seems players were using her Ice Wall ability to reach areas on the map which they shouldn't be able to, kind of like how Sombra players were glitching into the payload. This prompted the dev to disable Mei, but you can expect her back on November

I’ve found Ashe to be a lot more enjoyable to play as, and that’s another part of the problem - it’s not like I’m short of options. I love westerns and the general aesthetic and aura of cowboy stories, and Ashe leans into these tropes brilliantly. She’s wry and romantic, while all of her abilities still work. I’m not married to Mei (such is the tragedy of life), and my experience with Overwatch 2 News|Https://Overwatch2Tactics.Com/ is limited enough that giving up my main brings about little more than a shrug. For those who have racked up considerably more hours than me on the clock though, taking away one of Mei’s core abilities while claiming to be the same game feels insulting. You can’t even go back to the original Mei because the first game has been taken offl

Support playing as DPS is inevitable with this meta, though. If a flanking Genji or Reaper gets behind the line, you have to fight back, but it’s often too late if you wait for that moment. That means you have to be on the offensive, or you risk getting killed and being spammed with ironic ‘thanks’ and constant ‘I-need-healing’ in the chat. Yeah, I get it, but I was left on my own to fight the two DPS’ and a pushing tank. Healing the 50 damage you took isn’t high on my list of priorities right
