I Can’t Stop ‘Choking’ When I Play Multiplayer Games

I’m on the elimination spree of a lifetime. 28 kills, no deaths. I feel unstoppable. An enemy Reaper tries to sneakily teleport onto the payload. I, as Pharah, rocket into the sky and unleash the full fury of my ultimate on him, just because I can. “Damn, that was nasty,” he types into chat, clearly…

Widowmaker Cosplay Has You In Its Sights

This Widowmaker shoot is a collaboration between cosplayer Lady Nikoru, Henchmen Studios and photographer Paul Hillier. It’s one of the best pieces of Overwatch cosplay I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something.

Top Pistol Mercy Will Wreck Your Shit, But Only If She Has To

Mercy is Overwatch’s most straightforward healer. While Ana and Lucio are clearly built to mix (and/or boop) it up, Mercy’s got nothing but a dinky pistol and a dream. Many Overwatch players ridicule offense-minded “Battle Mercys” because they get slaughtered and they waste precious healing time. Perhaps, though, people are looking at the innocent angel…

When a player reports an abusive teammate in Overwatch, the most common response is rarely fear, regret, or even an apology. It’s “go ahead!” Overwatch’s reporting system is opaque, like any game’s, but word on the street is that it’s toothless. As someone who spends roughly 10 hours a week playing Overwatch, I’ve seen toxicity…

Blizzard Says It’s ‘Drastically’ Reducing Overwatch Loot Box Dupes

Loot boxes are bullshit. Overwatch’s are about to become a bit less bullshit.
