Guess Overwatch Support Most Supportive Emotional Crisis: Difference between revisions

Yesterday I took a look at how good each of the Overwatch 2 Tanks would be at driving a tank . We had some laughs, had some fun, but then it was time to put away childish toys and become a gamer. I played a few rounds of Overwatch 2 and, as is tradition, I lost badly. The fact D.Va is an expert tank driving in real life did not help me play any better as her. I'm wounded. Lost.

Mercy has become symbolic not just of the Support role in Overwatch but of what it means to be a healer in a video game. It stands to reason that she'd be near the top here, and she only misses out on top spot because she's too much of an ideal. She's the kind of friend who's very nice, very sweet, very polite, but who you can't help but feel bad around because of the emanating aura that she gives off. Mercy is just better than you.

Eqo was a major factor during Philadelphia's Grand Finals run in the 2018 season of the Overwatch League. His versatility and smart decision making paired well with superstar DPS teammate Jae-hyeok "Carpe" Lee making them one of the best duos at the time.
