The “Play of the Game” scenes of this week once again impressively demonstrate that in Overwatch sometimes it’s better to enjoy silently.
When Reinhardt Wants Too Much Honor
That you can create a lot of mischief with the basketballs from the spawn rooms of Overwatch is now an old hat. But players continually find new ways to add another layer of madness. As “usual,” a Junkrat prepares a basketball with explosives and a bear trap, but then comes the twist: a Symmetra carries this ball towards the enemies with her weapon. The opposing Ana must have been quite confused when the ball of death visited her.
Let’s face it: We all hate Torbjörn on the Volskaya Industries map. It must have been liberating for the player Kriskarnage when he catapulted the deadly mech over the building in the form of D.Va. The “kill feed” in the upper right is definitely struggling to keep up with all the destroyed turrets, Torbjörns, and Lúcios.
Our last clip falls into the category “Karma is a bitch.” The player Fireborn24 manages to get a solid triple kill with Reinhardt in the Sanctum of Nepal and takes a moment to celebrate the victory with an emote. But just while he’s turning the camera to admire his character in full gear, he notices the small red glow in the background of the screen. One “High Noon” later, Reinhardt is also lying in the dirt. Sometimes, one should simply enjoy their success silently!
