Just found this photo of my duo sitting on someone's head ✨
And I thought I should share 😚
Ok, so this game was a doozy. I load in, and we're playing competitive mystery heroes, I got Tracer. Then, the question, 'Ass or Titts?" pops into chat from someone on my team. Thankfully, I'm relieved from finding out everyone's answers because no-one does answer.
We cap the first point, and honestly I was throwing accidentally just a teeny tiny bit, because I only managed to steal 3 kills from our Hammy and wrack up a staggering total of 162 damage. BUT our Reaper was absolutely slaying, and popped off with a 4k, making someone from the opposite team leave. Naturally, we win the first point.
Second point loads in and first thing I see is, "I hate this game. GG." From the opposite team. Then the same guy who asked the ass or tits question replies, "Nah Cmon bro pull it back."
Spoiler alert. They did not pull it back. Over the course of the second round they got two more leavers... and then the first leaver joined back... Which I found entirely hilarious and a taste of his own medicine. The person who said GG, then proceeded to say, "I'm gonna K ms." Which bless them, they were the only one doing work on their team. They definitely deserved an obligatory win.
Needles to say, we won the game.

Basically, Overwatch 2 broke Overwatch players and it's feels like every single game I play there's something:
a. to complain about
b. to laugh about
or
c. to be surprised by
I also love delving into Overwatch Lore and picking apart the inconsistencies, and I can and will ramble for hours about it (ask my duo).
I'm gonna put it out there, I play Overwatch casually and I've been around since the first new years event so I've seen stuff. I'm not the best player ever and I'm high gold/low plat depending on how well I've done in the season. This is all MY OPINION!
The second Archives event took place in 2018, it started on the 10th April and finished on the 30th of April.
The brand new brawl/mission that was introduced during this event was the Retribution event, which followed the Blackwatch cast (Reaper/Gabriel Reyes, Jesse McCree/Cole Cassidy, Moira and Genji). The aim of their missions was to take the head of Talon, Antonio Bartalotti, in. Instead, Antonio goads Gabriel Reyes and explains that any action they take will be a waste of time since his political connections will have him out of prison by the end of the week. Realising he's right, Gabriel Reyes changes the plan (Drastically) and shoots Antonio instead. The Retribution mission is their hasty escape from Rialto.
Not only was this mission introduced but we were also given a handful of brilliant skins.
Scion Hanzo and Soldier 24 are some of my favourite skins as well, so 2018 achieves skins were ab absolute win.
Here are all the cinematics for the mission as well:
I think, short as it is, that there's some really interesting content in the videos.
To start off with, I find it really funny that the video starts with McCree taking out one guy, then Gabriel takes out one guy as well, then Moira takes out three guys and it's like woah ok. Then Genji says hold my bear and takes out an entire group.
It amuses me.
Also, this interaction between McCree and Gabriel, he addresses him as 'Reyes' respectfully, but you can tell he's toeing the line out of concern because they're not just comrades. They're not just commander and follower. They were friends! They worked together for 20 years and it shows in this interaction here!
He's challenging his commanders decisions because he knows that they're friends and he's concerned for him!
Also, please look at these pictures and say to my face that this is not a man who's reflecting on every choice he made since joining Overwatch, and I dare you to tell me those choices aren't weighing heavily on his shoulders!
This is a man that knows if he keeps doing things the way he was doing them, nothing is ever going to change.
So he does something drastic and he kills a man.
He looks so tired :(
I sort of forgot the purpose of this post because I just got carried away psycho analysing Gabriel Reyes.
So, I guess your welcome <3
I don't usually spend much time queuing in overwatch 2, which I kinda miss ngl. I used to get so much done between queues in Overwatch 1. Besides the point though. The DPS queue was looking a little longer so I decided to take a gander at the custom games, since me and my duo partner are old 'the floor is lava' and 'murder mystery' pros (you don't get gems like those anymore...). To my horror, the first thing that pops up on the custom games menu is, and I quote, 'Sexual Harassment Simulator'????? Like what the actual fuck?? I knew overwatch was far gone, but this far? I am honestly terrified of overwatch men in more ways than one.
Spitting facts, Blizzard making cannon decisions whilst drunk, upside down, and spinning in circles! ;-;
The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handling the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.
Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.
Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.
But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.
My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!
I've played Overwatch for six years and I need mental help. 21. She/Her.
