It feels odd saying “Overwatch 1”, however Overwatch 1 occupies an vital place in my private {and professional} life. And all issues thought-about, I don’t miss it within the slightest. I spent a lot time straining towards the sport’s tug-of-war matches that I merely grew bored with attempting actually onerous at it – or maybe extra precisely, attempting to not launch my head by means of the closest plaster wall.

Clearly, there was a time the place I adored Overwatch, although. A time when I’d grind solo-queue most evenings till 3am, in a bid to climb the ranks ever increased. To what finish? My personal private satisfaction, I suppose. I’d finally hit Master (let me brag simply as soon as, okay) after which just a few months later, I utilized for a job at Gamer Network writing guides about Overwatch’s intricacies. I moved to Brighton for my first correct job. Now, with Overwatch 2’s launch, all of it feels prefer it’s come full circle.
