However, there are a lot of situations where Life Grip is useful. You can save people who have been pushed off the map and are falling to their deaths, and you could use it to pull people to cover when an enemy Reaper is using Death Blossom or another ultimate that is sure to kill your all

As South Korea's talented MEKA pilot and professional gaming champion, D.Va, aka Hana Song, is famous for her elite skills and extraordinary feats, which include single-handedly defending her country. She's long been a favourite Overwatch hero, but we've yet to see any of her squadmates join Overwa

One negative with playing Ana against Lifeweaver is that if an enemy has been slept and your team is about to secure a kill on them, a Lifeweaver could easily use Life Grip to bring them to safety . This makes for an interesting game where both Ana and Lifeweaver work well against each other, countering the other in some way, creating a fun, challenging match that tests your skill as either charac

Growing up poor in the Rio favelas, Lúcio's rise to fame and power started with his love of music, performing around Rio de Janeiro as an underground DJ to help people overcome their troubles post-Omnic cri

There are plenty of positives to this new hero, though, with his powerful ultimate that makes up for the lack of healing and his abilities that allow teammates to be saved where other supports would fall short. However, when looking at how to counter a hero it is best to look at their weakness

A title centred around her earliest days as a Talon operative while coming to terms with the death of her husband and killer abilities would be an emotional whirlwind of a game. It could focus on sniping and stealth missions as its main gameplay, echoing that of experiences like Sniper Elite and Hit

To see Overwatch 2 News’s representation grow more explicit and honest in its execution can only be a good thing, and there’s no shame in valuing these steps forward even as the game struggles to find a purpose. We can’t trust corporations to tell queer stories and champion queer characters, but this doesn’t take away from everything these characters might have done for us in the past, canon or not.

If Lifeweaver takes the high ground using his Petal Platform , then Doomfist can just fling himself into the sky with his Seismic Slam and land on the platform , with a possible punch as a follow-up, sending Lifeweaver soaring across the

When Odessa "Dez" Stone defeated Mason Howl, the reigning Junker King, in the Reckoning, she became the new ruler of Junkertown. As a new hero introduced in Overwatch 2, Junker Queen's story is still relatively new to us and worth exploring. With great power comes great responsibility, and ruling over a place like Junkertown requires diplomacy, knowledge, and total ch

One of the immediate issues you will find when first playing Lifeweaver is that he has two basic attacks, his Healing Blossom to heal, and his Thorn Volley to damage. However, unlike a hero like Moira, Lifeweaver has to change weapons to alternate between healing and damage , which can feel very clunky to play, and difficult to work into a fi

We're betting D.Va would appreciate a new gaming setup , especially one styled after her beloved mech, Tokki. We're not sure how many other players would appreciate a gaming chair that you'd need to leap into from behind, but judging from how many heads she clicks while flying around the battlefield, it might actually help her get her K/D up even hig

One of the founding members of Overwatch, Ana's skills are well-proven at this point. She's on par with Widowmaker as far as sniping goes, and she's one of the bets Support characters in the game. Just as long as you're asking her to support her team, and not, like, her actual family or whate

We merely need a critical distance to recognise what this sort of representation actually means for the landscape, how it came about, and where it could go in the years to come. I’m delighted to see Pharah confirmed as a proud lesbian woman, regardless of the context in which it exists.

With a group of characters as eccentric as the cast of Overwatch , deciding what to put under the tree each year is harder than holding the capture point in Lijiang Tower . Thankfully, we've put together this handy shopping guide to help you come up with the best gift for the hyper-intelligent ape from the moon who has everyth

You can get away with not reloading for some time if you switch between your two basic weapons. Use them for a few seconds, switch to the other, and do the same. When you switch back you will have automatically reloaded. This means that you have a lot of uptime and can stay in the action for a long time before having to back out. Keep this in mind and aim to stay in the fight as long as you can, giving as much assistance as possi

Wouldn't it make sense that spin-off games about some of Overwatch's most beloved characters would be the best way to experience their defining moments? While there's no indication that we'll see any spin-offs, it's fun to theorise which characters and types of games could __ be made with everything we know about our her
