Overwatchs main competitor is paladins, its like what you'd get if you took 2016 Blizzard and made all the employees rush out a cash grab event and gave it flesh.
The game is one of those games with dev teams that probably smoke pot in their offices before getting to work, any idea that sounds funny enough to them they'll probably add, a really shittily draw version of a character as a spray? Done, how about a VA storming away from the mic saying they don't get paid enough to say this shit, but the laid back dev team only part of it.
The game itself is interesting, you've got your characters and a deck you make for them that do things like decrease cool down, give you a larger health pool, or even gain your ult faster. Alongside that theres perks to get in match like more damage to deployables or faster reload speed.
But the main selling point for me is the decks you build for your characters,
My personal favorite build converts Pip, someone who should be in the backline healing to flanking and harassing the enemy team. Although this does carry the risk that your team will think your actually gonna heal them and not pick another to fill in for you.
Here's a little tidbit of lore that specifically affected me,
There was a bug with Pip that would allow your lifesteal to not be affected by diminishing returns so you could have like a 90% lifesteal which paired with the damage your doing, which is around 890 per shot with the right stuff equipped and you didn't even have to try surviving with how much you'd be getting.
There is another piece of lore but its more like a conspiracy theory I made because my favorite characters keep getting indirectly nerfed, basically the dev team noticed their least played characters were Furries so they commissioned a bunch of porn of them in the hopes it would increase their pickrate, it did but they decided they didn't want furry porn addicts making up so much as a fraction of the player base so they started the shadow cleansing of the art and made plans to make the future gamescspe least favorable to the charecters they commissioned art of, but thats a whole nother can of worms.
