This Overwatch player got the victory with Wrecking Ball despite the circumstances.
Overwatch is a very popular multiplayer first-person shooter since its release in May 2016. However, if it has remained in the public’s interest for a reason, it is because players have to hone their skills to keep up with the games.
Of course, this implies that in a highly competitive environment, the game does not only become complicated because a good part of its player base has the necessary experience to annihilate its opponents and thus obtain victory without problems. On the contrary, there are also other incentives for players to motivate themselves to continue improving their techniques through cosmetic rewards. Although, of course, the variety of heroes with movements and abilities have their own value within multiplayer.
In this regard, Overwatch players and matches can be very challenging, which is part of the game’s appeal. This would mean that Blizzard’s title has been positioned precisely because of the atmosphere of tension between the teams that fight to win the game, while developing their ability to react and attack. And, unsurprisingly, fans bring out their best moves in combat to claim victory, all the while attacking their enemies with epic blows that aren’t really always planned.
Related to the above, as we mentioned, not all successful fights -or even not so successful ones- are the result of a perfect plan. In this way, it is quite logical that within the games some of the most curious and hilarious anecdotes arise between the players and they decide to share them with the community in the Internet forums.
In Overwatch, unlucky games have also paid off
Despite the fact that the installment has more serious overtones for its audience, it is inevitable that the incidents or the plays will turn out differently than they had been initially considered. Although Overwatch rewards combat when the plays are fantastic and the feats are regularly those that we would see oscillating on social networks, in this case it is the opposite. A Reddit user has shared a video on his account to show that a Wrecking Ball player was rewarded for a somewhat… unlucky play.
The Reddit user, known as LilyLotl, has recently posted a video on the Overwatch subreddit in which we can see a very curious play: the fan in question is fighting as Wrecking Ball. For a few seconds, the footage shows Wrecking Ball receiving various attacks as he roams the map, however, despite this, he still manages to get a few assists and several kills. In short, the recovery from the multiple stuns earned him the victory of the game, especially due to the camaraderie of the team towards this player. And thus, the video demonstrates that the most skilled players can radically change things within Overwatch battles.
To tell the truth, it is not the first time that we can see such videos among fans. In fact, there are a few floating around the internet that show the funnier side of the community and a few that seek to highlight the details of Overwatch. Despite the complexity of Blizzard’s multiplayer, this player managed to prove that, with enough skill, Wrecking Ball can also lead to victory -since he is known to be a difficult hero-. We don’t have the full context, but the images speak for themselves.
In short, many Overwatch fans are in the same situation as the player in the video. As we mentioned before, if you have the necessary skills to fight in such complicated scenarios, you can play with any hero and thus benefit the rest of the team in battles -something extremely important considering the nature of the game. In this sense, the video of LilyLotl it’s a testament to the many ways players can conquer the battlefield…and best of all, several of them weren’t part of the strategy. And, close to the release of Overwatch 2, shooter fans will be able to continue enjoying the first installment and improvise their moves to pull off some memorable plays among the Overwatch fan community.
