Playing support in Overwatch is like crawling through mousetraps to help your little brother up after he’s fallen, only for him to kick you in the face and call you a twat. It’s a thankless job, no matter how much you heal, and if you’re playing with randoms, you’ll often be hung out to dry in front of an ulting Moira and a hook-happy Roadhog. I swore off the role a couple of years ago, but Kiriko has roped me right back in, angry chat messages and thanks-spamming teammates be dam

Likewise, anyone who follows the FIFA community even a little bit is cutting inside to trivela from the edge of the box. It’s one of those things that would be fun if you stumbled across it with your mates, but is less fun when it’s the only way anyone in the world tries to shoot now. Ironically, despite the bulk of my complaints here, the trivela is a perfect example of something that needs to be patc

It comes with its own risks though. If you’ve played Overwatch 2 at all, you know Moira is constantly played as a DPS . They shred through enemies, rush off to get kills, and rarely come back to help the team, leaving the job to rest on one support’s shoulders. I’m busy scrambling to hit the mute button while I keep a charging Reinhardt alive as he plummets into the entire enemy team, so my shoulders are more than strained. But Kiriko hasn’t ended up like Moira - at least, not yet. The ease of being able to jump between damage and healing is similar there, but the DPS doesn’t outclass the healing to such an extent that it’s worth dropping altogether. The two are well-balanced, meaning you can easily flit between keeping D.Va alive and taking out a cheeky Widowmaker perched in the dista

One thing that can happen with exclusively-multiplayer games with short matches is that they can sometimes get a bit repetitive. A good way to counter that is to give them events from time to time, spicing things up a bit and giving players new things to check out. Overwatch 2 esports|Https://overwatch2tactics.com/ 2 is no exception, having quite a few seasonal events spread out throughout the

With Overwatch 2, we finally got a new mode with Wrath of The Bride, where we play with Sojourn, Ashe, Junker Queen, and Kiriko as we venture through the map and face new challenges, which is a good refresher for the second-oldest event in the g

Each offers skins related to the event, but most importantly, they offer special game modes that last throughout the event. These events are even the reason to return to the game in case you've stopped. All that said, which one is the best tho

Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of control over these modes. The special modes from the other events appear in the Arcade menu, but they appear at random and only change every 24 hours. You can't really control which one to search for and have to wait for the one you like to appear when the rotation chan

Mei has recently been pulled from Overwatch 2 for two weeks because players were using her wall to reach places they weren’t meant to. Maybe this is too much to tolerate at the highest competitive levels, but mostly I just think ‘who cares?’. Didn’t they just nerf Mei out of existence anyway? Is it really that big a deal that you can mess around on some m

There's always an issue that comes before microtransactions for multiplayer games, and it's one that almost every one of them suffers from – long queue times to get into games. While in the best of cases, you might not get into a game on the day it launches. Sometimes these issues can go on for months, and may require server upgra

With how Blizzard is handling these issues, Overwatch 2 players are worried that their favourite Hero will be the next to get sidelined. Plenty are already theorising on who is next in line for the temporary chopping block, with Brigitte being the common consensus . She can create an invincible shield with the help of Kiriko – a major exploit that could potentially ruin ga

The third point in the multiplayer game holy-trinity is moderation, especially if a game caters to minors as well as adults. Reports recently emerged that there were certain Overwatch 2 servers that weren't moderated properly, as they had inappropriately themed custom games modes like "Sexual Assault Simulat

Overwatch 2 has just had its biggest week since launch. Not only did Blizzard unveil a new Hero, but we also witnessed a cracker of a match for the Overwatch League Grand Final. However, it appears that it's still finding its feet when it comes to Hero balancing, as well as the in-game store economy. Some aspects were so imbalanced that yet another Hero needed to be temporarily remo

However, one Redditor wrote to Blizzard about this, and it turns out that it was an error. OW1 skins should not have been tagged as 'new', and should be redeemable via Legacy Credits . The customer support team asked them to submit a bug report after receiving their tic
