The Queen of Junkertown is quite deadly and mobile. Though you could make her faster with Lucio and Kiriko, that isn't such a necessity. Still, she's pretty good for a straight-up assault, so characters who can follow and take some pain before needing to recover will balance out very well. Soldier, for instance, who can go with her and heal both if necessary, even though he's not a supporting character. Characters who excel at close range will all benefit from her since they'll receive her passive as w

There’s a lot of pressure to nail an Overwatch hero’s base design, and in this respect, Blizzard really knocked it out of the park with Lifeweaver’s default look. This includes a good selection of colors and textures that contrast nicely, particularly the muted pink petals on his back and the shiny gold belt keeping his jacket clo

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

I wish I could put this higher, I really do. Overwatch 2 is the most fun I’ve had in an already fantastic team-based shooter in years. The new characters, 5v5, the fine-tuning - it’s all perfect. But I cannot justify praising the game any more than this when its terrible monetization actively ruins your experience with the gameplay. As it stands, it is mechanically some of the most fun I’ve had this year, it could have just been so much m

Ramattra throws a projectile with an arch in front of him that expands when it reaches the ground. Once active, this ability creates a large vortex on the ground. This vortex slows, damages, and pulls down all enemies caught in its radius. This ability can be used in both Omnic and Nemesis F

As for DPS, characters who walk with the tank instead of flanking will be more useful. A Soldier that can both attack and help him stay alive or a Sojourn who can be more aggressive are good options. If you want to control the battlefield with ferocity, Mei and Ramattra can be a nightmare together since both of them have slowing abilities. And guess what? They stack together, making your enemies almost immob

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 story mode 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

Inching its way past Magnolia by a small margin, Hydrangea is another Lifeweaver skin that brings very few new design elements to the table. The only real differences are a few color changes to the bionic petals on his back as well as the character’s pants, belt, and gaunt

Orchid is another Rare skin with close visual ties to its namesake plant. Like Amsonia, its design takes a broad-stroke approach in assigning similar shades of pinkish hues to each part of Lifeweaver’s ensemble to create a consistent l

Another important point about playing Tank is knowing when to push. A huge strength to Ramattra is getting to play both Ranged and Melee Tank during a fight. Use your long range abilities to weaken the enemy tank or look for kills behind them. Once your team is in an advantageous position, you can use Nemesis Form to push forward and take space, while also trying to pick up kills in the proc

Allies that can prevent enemy movement will make your life a lot easier, such as Sojourn and Mei, for instance. Since a Zarya ultimate combo is no longer valid, Mei's ultimate is a wonderful replacement to meteor strike with. Still, Doomfist is rather independent and can perform well regardless of what characters the DPS players are us

Divers are the ones who'll have more fun here. Any character that can keep up with Winston's jumping will take full advantage of his teamwork. Land among the enemies and place your bubble; someone dangerous such as Junkrat fully inside a shield bubble can be a fun time. Well, for him, at le

Metal: Hellsinger combined two genres and executes them both with ease, being among the greats in both categories. Throughout your short jaunt through hell, you follow the titular Hellsinger and her Troy Baker-voiced companion, blasting your way through levels that look straight out of Doom. Unlike Doom, however, there’s nothing more important than keeping the beat, which is complemented by one of the best soundtracks we’ve heard in a game this year. There may not be too much beneath the surface with Metal: Hellsinger, but it’s a treat to see every aspect of a video game working in perfect synergy like t

Maintaining many of the same design principles as Lifeweaver’s Sovereign skin, Regent is another Legendary skin that takes the character in a drastically new direction. His blue-tinted jacket and tan pants give off an air of upper-class wealth and elitism that carries over to the rest of the des
