Why I love Overwatch 2!!

^ (Can’t find a pic with everyone, but these are some of my goats. Except Winston, oh my god I dislike him so much, he’s so annoying to play against. Anyone who plays him is my worst enemy. Oh, and also Tracer, she will never be my goat, I will never play her by choice, I will always target her in every game I ever play)

For a little over a year, I’ve been playing Overwatch 2. It came out in 2016 and is on its 14th season. (15th in about a month) I started playing during season 8 and I quickly found myself actually liking this game. I’ve never been a gamer in my life. All I played was Roblox and Minecraft, but those games became boring, so I decided to give this one a try. I played with a friend who didn’t teach me how to play, just simply threw me into a game and told me who to play which led to my first main. D.va!

^This being the skin I have for her. D.va has two lives. She’s a tank and she’ll sit in this big Mech, Tokki, until it breaks, and she has to jump around in what people call her baby D.va form (which is just normal her, but she has 175 health?? I feel like a little roach whenever I get out of mech) and hopefully either get it back or die. (You always respawn it’s fine). One thing I love about Overwatch, though, is the variety of skins. People complain about the game being a cash grab, but if I get to collect these stupid character skins then I will! Anyways, after I realized I was terrible at D.va I stopped playing her. (I play her again now, I just had to actually get good at the game) The friend and me were no longer gaming together so I played with someone else and that’s when I discovered Moira! My second main. (who is level 24 for me, and I have like 27 hours on her)

Moira has become one of my favorite characters. She is a support who requires no aim whatsoever. She uses her purple to do damage and yellow to heal. She just throws around these orbs and does A LOT of damage. (At least she did until they nerfed her</3) but the characters are another thing I love about overwatch. Right now, there are 42(I think?) characters. All of them are diverse and somehow connected to each other. People complain and say they shouldn’t add so many, but like I love seeing new characters even if they suck sometimes (Which no one does except PHARAH.), because making a character is a hit or miss with most things and I feel like the more chacters they add the more lore we get and I would prefer to learn about character lore over the world lore because all I know is omnic war and only like six people fought in it. Anyway.

In overwatch there is a group called overwatch (duh), but not everyone on the cast list is IN overwatch, but they’re related to it in some way. Which is something I may talk about in another blog.

Anyways. Right now, I main Cassidy and Mercy.

These two have managed to become two of my favorite characters to play, and I love these skins so much omgee. They’re like the most fun for me and I find myself winning more when I play them (Send help, I’ve spent so much money on this game.)

Still, there are many things I love about overwatch even if the game makes me want to take a bite out of my controller. What I really enjoy about it is the unique set on abilities the characters have. Not all of them do the same thing. It made it so much easier for me, someone who never plays games, to get good at this game because everyone is so different. You don’t even need aim half the time! (It’s still humbling to have a 15% aim accuracy..)

In the past few weeks, I’ve been teaching my closest friends to play this game and even if they end up not liking it that’s fine because I’m able to share something I really like with them. Right now, I have a group of four people, and we all play together! (Just one more person and we’ll have a full team of friendship!) Still, I have been encouraging friends to try out this game with me or at least let me talk about it, because there’s so much to it and I am still learning many things about overwatch.

As terrible as the game is at times, it brings me peace even if I rage, because if nothing else is here for me I know Overwatch is.

  2. I LOVE Overwatch! I remember you talking about it for an hour and a half at one point and it was so interesting to hear all of the lore behind the characters. I need to play the new Overwatch.
