To a lot of people, Reinhardt is still the quintessential tank character in Overwatch 2. The shield-bearing, hammer-swinging old man is one of the original 21 heroes, has some of the most straightforward and comprehensible utility of any character on the roster, and he’s overall just a fun character to have in your…
Overwatch 2’s Mirrorwatch Event Is So Good I’m In Mourning
Overwatch 2 has had a lot of bad news since it launched, such as the gutting of its PvE suite, and now the reported cancellation of its story missions. Every seemingly good thing that’s introduced, like a store to buy rare skins, comes with a caveat, in that case being egregiously expensive. The limited-time…
Overwatch 2 Players Are Waiting Over An Hour In Ranked Queues
Overwatch 2’s tenth season is officially underway, and everybody’s pretty happy with the new damage hero Venture, and the fact that they (and the rest of the Overwatch 2 cast) are officially free for everyone after being locked behind the battle pass for over a year. Blizzard has also added several foundational…
Overwatch 2’s New Season Reimagines Its Heroes As Villains
Overwatch 2’s tenth season begins on April 16, and it will new non-binary damage hero Venture to the roster after their test phase last month. While the drill-based brawler is the headliner of season 10 (called Venture Forth), a special, limited-time event is a cool standout. The Mirrorwatch event takes place from…
New Twisters Movie Promo Lets You Get Blown At The Theater
I am very much enjoying the return to a late-nineties-early-aughts-era style of movie promotions (like Dune: Part Two’s questionable-looking popcorn bucket), so I am excited to present to you what I have dubbed the Twisters Tube. According to a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Discussing Film, movie theaters…
An Overwatch 2 Support Player’s Guide To Mastering Moira
When I first started playing Overwatch, the original 2016 hero shooter that spawned the 2022 free-to-play sequel Overwatch 2, it was right when Moira was first introduced. The morally repugnant scientist joined the game’s support roster in 2017, and for a newcomer like myself, she seemed like a good hero to start…
Overwatch 2 April Fools’ Patch Continues A Hilarious Tradition
As has become tradition, Blizzard has once again released an absolutely absurd, fully playable Overwatch 2 patch for April Fools’ Day. It is every competitive purist’s worst nightmare. But it is so unhinged and thorough I have to respect it.
Overwatch 2 Fans Don’t Love Cassidy’s Cowboy Bebop Skin
Overwatch 2’s latest collaboration is with the beloved space western anime Cowboy Bebop. The event, which kicked off on March 12, lets five heroes from Blizzard’s team-based shooter cosplay as different characters from the classic ‘90s show. The event follows in the footsteps of other crossover events like the October…
Overwatch 2 X Cowboy Bebop Collaboration Is 10/10, No Notes
We already knew Overwatch 2 was getting a collaboration event with the much-loved anime Cowboy Bebop. What we didn’t know is that the trailer would go this hard, instead of just giving us a bog-standard look at the new anime-inspired skins.
Overwatch 2’s Latest Patch Kills One Of Its Most Famous Strats
Overwatch 2 is bringing a lot of sweeping changes in its season nine balance patch, and some of them are controversial. Between giving every hero a passive self-heal and every character getting a health buff across the board, Overwatch 2 feels like it’s shifting from a team-based shooter into one that values hero…
