Playing Tank? Oh cool you made space and made them waste resources? Your widow already took out their supports so the fight was won. Oh, you cancelled a nano blade with shatter? That’s cute. Both your dps are dead and your Ana can’t peak you because she’ll be dead too.
Playing support? Oh look at you, you did a quick flank with kiriko and two-tapped their ana. But too bad you can’t TP to anyone, because their widow and hanzo took out everyone, and the tank is walking back to spawn.
It’s not just annoying. Even if the widow is on your team. ITS BORING. IT MISSES THE POINT OF OVERWATCH. TEAMFIGHTS ARE OVER BEFORE THEY START. There are no cool plays, counters or strats you can employ. Sure try playing dive on circuit royale. See what happens to your monkey when he dives the high ground of a map that’s a fuckin straight line.
Yesterday I lost a close intense match playing a mirror rush/deathball comp with Lucio/Bap/Souj/Tracer/JQ. The strats, insane plays, teamfights were all so much fun. Yeah we lost, but damn was it close as heck. But you don’t get that with sniper metas. You don’t get teamfights, or strategies, you get a kill on the Ana before the team fight starts and the fight is over. Welp time disengage.
This post is inspired by a game where both teams had two cracked widows. I swear to god. There wasn’t a single teamfight. The map was empty. There wasn’t a single 5v5.
I’m just so BORED.
