Keyboards are so 2015. The current Overwatch players resort to bananas.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Are you playing on a potato?” in this or similar forms when your computer isn’t running as fast as you’d like? What is just a dumb joke for most, streamer Rudeism takes seriously. He not only plays WoW on a dance pad or Rocket League with a guitar, but has now also found his new favorite input device for Overwatch: bananas.
He uses a total of 12 crooked fruits to simulate all the necessary control units via “peel press”. So WASD for movement, four bananas for mouse control, and four more for jumping, firing, placing the shield dome, and activating the ultimate ability.
Those who can spare the time can watch Rudeism for over two hours as he hops through the battles of Overwatch with bananas, even achieving some successes. Fairness must be taken into account, however, as the bananas wouldn’t have lasted much longer – their color noticeably changes after 2 hours of “continuous pressing”.
By the way, the bananas were not the first idea he had for an implementation with the hero Winston. Because another object would fit even better with our genetically advanced gorilla.
“Actually, I wanted to use peanut butter for this project, but unfortunately peanut butter does not conduct electricity well enough.”
That would have also been a very sticky and mushy affair.
Cortyn says: The crazier the idea, the more people you can attract to your stream. At least it seems Rudeism hasn’t run out of ideas to keep grabbing attention. What do I think about that? It’s all banana.
