Overwatch background11/9/2022 ![]() Overwatch is all about momentum, and finding out what line-up best fits the situation at hand. If anything, I think I enjoy every character purely because the game has encouraged me to bounce between them all. Junkrat may be an excellent defender for example, but he’s just as useful when it comes to pushing down an objective. They’re all fun to play, and they all have a place outside of their standard offense, defense, tank, and support roles. ![]() I hop between the entire cast regularly, and not once have a felt that any member doesn’t fit. Don’t get me wrong,Ii have my favourites (like Mei, she’s cool), but I don’t play them exclusively until I’m blue in the face.
