*'''Sombra''' - Despite being [[Poverty|Mexican,]] Sombra is not a lazy whore who sleeps all day long and drinks till her teeth rot. Instead she found the only working computer in all of [[Mexico]], and decided to put the pc parts inside her because she's absolutely mental. Her only weapon is a nerf gun, with a magazine so small that it's easier to hit them with your fist than try and shoot them to death. To make up for this, Sombra can turn invisible, setup a personal teleport, disable another players abilities for a second or two, and for her ultimate she disables everyone in a small area. While she was designed to stop meta plays by stopping key players do their job, players quickly found Sombra was merely an annoyance, not an obstacle. This means on release she was seen as pretty useless. Sombra is for [[Bitch|cowards]], and is usually chosen by people who set themselves useless tasks and then pretend they're helping, like organising your pencils in colour order. | *'''Sombra''' - Despite being [[Poverty|Mexican,]] Sombra is not a lazy whore who sleeps all day long and drinks till her teeth rot.

*'''Sojourn''' - Black robot who replaced Tracer as the cover girl for Overwatch 2. She plays like a better Soldier 76, her canon is stronger, she can slide and jump higher, her grenades stick people to the ground, her rifle has a sniper shot, and her ultimate makes her do more damage. With the canonically biggest ass, it's a shame she's a lifeless robotic husk just like her owners, Blizzard. Sojourn is for [[Idiot|thickos]], and is usually played by returning players who think they've still got it. (They do not.) | |||
*'''[[Poo in the loo|Symmetra]]''' - Ugly [[shemale]] from [[India]] who quit her tech support day job for something more exciting, building. She can put down turrets, teleporters and a big fuck-off shield. She is the bane of any offense hero trying to push, because her turrets also slow their asses down. Bonus points if you place your teleporter near a ledge, and behold lulz. Despite looking better than some of the other women, Symmetra has some of the least porn about her. Symmetra is for [[nerds]], and is usually chosen by people who only talk about themselves all day long. | *'''[[Poo in the loo|Symmetra]]''' - Ugly [[shemale]] from [[India]] who quit her tech support day job for something more exciting, building.

Reinhardt players are supposed to use their giant barriers to shield their bitch teammates who can't kill for shit, allowing them to cower behind him as they get noob kills. Once the player has had enough being a moving target, their options are run at the enemy with their hammer and die, get a cheeky kill with their charge and die, or use their ultimate to knock everyone to the ground, only to be killed in the middle of this plan, wasting an ultimate.

Roadhog has been controversial since launch, not that he's overpowered but his design is just so dreadful that he's a headache to fight for most players. Even after nerfing his hook range and his melee damage, a tank that can one-shot half the cast and heal 80% of his health is going to be a problem. Roadhog is for [[Eproctophilia|fart fetishists]], and is usually chosen by newbies who believe in beginners luck. | *'''[[Fat|Roadhog]]''' - The source of a lot of fat fetish content, Roadhog is a morbidly-obese rapist who uses his hook to grab unsuspecting women from afar, before he makes them unrecognisable to the police with his shotgun made of literal rubbish.

Revision as of 08:39, 5 October 2022
Overwatch is a desperate attempt to simplify Team Fortress 2 into a game so easy to play that babies out of the womb could pick it up. Since MMORPGs no longer made the headlines or the big bucks, Blizzard Entertainment were convinced that easy-to-approach class shooters were the next big thing. Creating a cast of colourful characters that wouldn’t look out of place on a kids tv show, Overwatch on release had every sperg, autist and caveman captivated by the bright colours and loud noises, which distracted from how little content the game actually had. To really bring in as many players as possible the game was made as approachable as possible, so despite being a shooter there's no blood or graphic imagery to reach the lowest age rating. The characters themselves range from Avengers knock-offs for the kiddies, edgy Batman villains wearing trench coats for the teens, and tiny barely-legal Korean girls for the adults.
Blinded by how big of a success Overwatch became, Blizzard quickly lost sight of what the game was and what the fans wanted. What followed was years of mishandling, controversy and company politics that managed to turn the games reputation from the next big thing that everyone was playing, into a messy first-person MOBA that alienated new commers, and pissed off veterans.
In a desperate attempt to revive the game, mainly its image, Overwatch 2 was announced, putting the final nail in Overwatch’s coffin as development for the game slowed to a snail’s pace. The legacy of Overwatch is mostly porn, as well as what happens when everyone gets hypnotised by clever advertising and flashy visuals.
The Game Itself
The main game consists of either a quickplay or competitive match, which has two teams of six players fight around different objectives. You can play with your loser friends for an easy victory, or play with strangers if you want to roleplay a French general trying to coordinate his troops. There's king of the hill which is two rounds in which one team must own the centre of the map for 90 seconds. Payload has you push a cart into the enemies spawn. Finally there's assault in which one team has to defend two control points while the other team tries to take them over. More familiar game modes like capture the flag and deathmatch are restricted to a separate "arcade" section which puts different game modes in a rotation so enjoy logging in just to find your favourite game mode has been kicked off in favour of a gimmick mode that no one plays.
Every time you complete a match you're given a virtual medal and some xp, gain enough xp and you're given a free lootbox full of useless stickers and costumes. If you're lazy and only want to play virtual dress up with your favourite characters, don't worry; you can pay real world money for more lootboxes that might only give you items for a character you never play. If you think hard work and skill will reward you with the lootboxes you wanted, you'll be glad to hear that Overwatch gives free lootboxes a lower chance to unbox something good compared to a paid-box, so enjoy your common stickers and alternative voice line for the Text-to-speech robot character.
If you really hate yourself but not enough to consider suicide, you can grind the competitive mode which makes matches longer, but rewards you with a currency used to unlock a golden weapon for your favourite character. These golden weapons use to be an icon of skill and dedication, but are now ruined as Blizzard changed the system from rewarding the golden currency to players who did well at the end of a competitive season, to giving them to a player every time they finished a competitive match.

The Plot
After 500+ hours of Overwatch being drilled into your skull, you might have lost enough brain cells to be declared clinically insane. This will lead to you asking questions like, "Why do all these cartoon caricatures hate each other so much?". If you are looking for answers in the game itself, you won't find them. Instead, you have to watch their Disney shows and read their comic books to find out the incredibly boring and predictable answer as to why everyone hates each other. It's not worth your time, like the rest of Overwatch, mainly because the story has been sanitised and written to be inoffensive, so intrigue is off the table. Consistency is also a problem, as the story fails to juggle different cultures, timelines and themes. It would be a waste of time to cover every characters backstory and major theme, but here's the gist.
60 years in the future everyone has decided slavery is actually pretty good, so robotic slaves do all the boring jobs and look after families. Peace and prosperity is the norm until one day the robots "mysteriously" become sentient and want to take over the world. All the robots run back to their factories, take them over, and start producing Gatling guns on legs. Each country has a different response, America sends over genetically enhanced soldiers, Britain makes space-spitfires, Russia uses gundams, Korea uses mech-suits, etc. Eventually all the countries in the world come together and form "Overwatch", an overfunded task force with each member being the best killer from every country. They're given diplomatic immunity and allowed to do whatever they want, kill whoever they want, and are given all the latest tech, somehow they're meant to be the good guys. They go around and kill all the robots and everyone loves them. Australia is nuked and Russia has its economy rekt but it's a small price to pay for literal world peace.
Overwatch goes around and completes the side quests they neglected, keeping world peace. Eventually the leader of Overwatch and one of his soldier have a fight and this causes all of Overwatch to collapse and for them to be made illegal. This parts all vague because not even the writers are sure why everything suddenly goes to shit. It's prime territory for a shitty comic book or movie or some other product for fanboys to absorb. Now that Overwatch is no longer cool or legal and the world is all shit again, a giant gorilla accidently presses the "Revive Overwatch lol" button, causing all the old superheroes from Overwatch to go out and kill again with the new younger generation, this time with even more fucked up weaponry and no diplomatic immunity for their actions.
Controversies
Tracer's ass
Tracer and her 3D rendered arse have caused problems for Blizzard since day, despite it not even being that big. When the game first launched, clickbait hacks made "articles" campaigning for "respect for women in the gaming industry and identity politics. They complained that Tracer's ass was sexist, as men would be turned on, and they pretended to take great offense over a particular Tracer pose.
Look at that sexist pile of shit. She has an ass for fuck's sake. Anyone who doesn't notice how sexist it is for a woman to have an ass should be shot, the ass just shouldn't be there. This pose that is just degrading for woman, she isn't holding a sandwich maker nor is she in the kitchen, how is this a fair representation of women? As this controversy was going on, there was also a sizeable petition for Overwatch to remove all guns, which was somehow gaining quite a few signatures, and so the braindead monkeys campaigning for Tracer's ass to be removed thought they too would gain a large amount of support if they demmanded something equally as stupid. Luckily, brave and sexually depraved gamers came out in droves to defend Tracer's behind and attack her detractors. petition to remove all guns from the game (archive).
Blizzard changed the offending pose to a slightly more tasteful pose, referencing a famous pinup poster. But the furious, short-haired and loud-mouthed journalists were still not satisfied. Brianna Wu complained about the butt, using advanced mental gymnastics to try and prove Tracer's design itself, was sexual and offensive. on twitter (archive):
Tracer is a rug muncher
Herp.
—Blizzard, Shooting their own leg |
Just when the idiots of Gamergate were celebrating that Blizzard trolled the SJW with the ridiculous pose, Last Thursday they released a Christmas comic in which they show that British hot tight pants is fond of chowing boxes, as if her bulldyke haircut wasn't enough of a giveaway.
Apparently Tracer is the first (there will be more) LGBTBBQWTF+ character of the franchise, as she has a relationship with a ginger called Emily, eerily looking too similar to another soulless lesbian ginger.
The reactions to this addition to the Overwatch in-game canon can vary from the likes of "Meh, I'm not going to pay 40 bucks for this tumblr ripoff shit", to "You bastards, Tracer is my waifu, Why did you this to me?". Still and, again, the ones with the most embarrassing reactions were the lab monkeys writing for SJW clickbait pages who reached orgasm with screams of "muh Diversity", "muh Inclusiveness" and "muh Representation" because of a fictional character enjoying and drinking vaginal fluids.

This Blizzard attempt to cater to more mature audiences with this cheap marketing stunt will backfire as in the first place, more 3D porn of Tracer fucking the rest of the female characters with a strap-on will be made, second, the hardcore gamers will not be playing it as they don't want queer representation while they are killing the shit of their fellow gamers and finally, the game only will be played by the obsessed tumblristas with queer pronouns, creating around the game a fandom more retarded than the fandom of Steven Universe. As if the Fembusters debacle wasn't enough, Blizzard apparently must learn from experience that you never cater to the qualms of SJW as they are bad and disloyal customers who are more interested on virtue signaling than buying your overpriced shit.
Blitzchung and China
On October 6th 2019, a Hong Kong Hearthstone player called Blitzchung was on a Competitive stream hosted by Blizzard, and he started screaming and crying about liberating Hong Kong. Sadly, great snipers from the People's Republic of China were not able to silence him in time, as Blizzard quickly stopped the livestream, and hid Blitzchung away. The next day, they announced he was banned from every playing competitive ever again. Blizzard's excuse was that he damaged their image, which was a rule hidden somewhere in their contract. This caused millions of neckbeards and man-children across the world to start boycotting Blizzard, setting fire to their Hearthstone XXXL t-shirts, cancelling their WoW subscriptions, and limiting themselves to only play Overwatch on the weekends from now on, as opposed to all day every day. Blizzard employees started doing walkouts and protests outside their offices, and some exposed that Blizzard had only banned Blitzchung due to just how much money they made off China, as well as the fact that 5% of Blizzard was owned by Chinese media, and another 12% was Tencent.
Instead of fulfilling Blitzchung's wish of Hong Kong independence by sending support and educating themselves on the complex topic, the army of fat neckbeards instead used this as an excuse to farm karma on reddit and likes on twitter by screenshotting themselves cancelling and deleting their various saves, profiles and subscriptions to Blizzard games. Overwatch was not exempt from this, millions of post start cropping up with players claiming they had deleted their Battlenet accounts "IN THE NAME OF HONG KONG AND BLITZCHUNG!!1!".
Overwatch 2
In 2020, to distract from their Chinese cock-sucking Blizzard released a flash trailer for "Overwatch 2", a trailer they had made for situations like this. The problem? Now they actually needed to release an Overwatch 2. So they slowly let Overwatch die as they worked on the sequel, and 2 years later they released Overwatch 2. It changed teams from 6v6 to 5v5, and added one new support, dps and tank. Millions tried logging in on release only to be met with awfully long loading screens and every game they connected to crashing, due to trolls DDOS-ing Blizzard's terrible servers.
A co-op mode is promised to eventually release, which looks to be an underwhelming gimmick mode. Removing one player from the teams and redesigning the characters to be uglier won't keep the game going for longer than a month. Especially when lootboxes had been gutted in favour of a paid Battle Pass, meaning you had less progression and no rewards for playing consistently without buying their special passes.
