Every Mei ever.

Pack up your things and head home guys, cause it's doesn't get any better than this...right? The shrill screams of his victims will echo into eternity.

The new Play of the Game trend deemed by u/gankstavenge adds a new level of hilarity to the onslaught of fantastic plays of the game that have been surfacing since the games release last week.

Ah the true pinnacle of this character's in-game absurdity has to be this little cliff diving gem.

Thanks to Overwatch's remappable controls, Zak can comfortably enjoy playing the game with every character. He shared the following thank you letter he wrote to Blizzard:

Dear Blizzard,

First off I want to congratulate you on the launch of Overwatch. It is an amazing game and you should be proud. It is jam packed with so many exciting moments for every type of gamer. My girlfriend loves the lore, my buddy can't stop smiling when he gets a hook with Roadhog, and me? I love the options menu.

I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I can't walk and have very limited use of my hands. I love video games of all shapes and sizes and have been playing since I was 3 years old. I play them when I'm happy, I play them when I'm sad, and I've started and strengthened some of my best friendships because of them.

Some games allude me though. You see, the way my hands are I am only able to use one hand for one action at one time per hand. So essentially I can only press two buttons simultaneously. Because of this I have always been limited to certain play styles and characters in games. Yasuo in League of Legends is a no go for me because of all the mechanics at play. Grapplers in fighting games usually off limits because they mostly require simultaneous button presses. Shooters are the biggest offender though. It's a must to be able to move, aim, and fire at the same time and I am only able to do two at a time. This pigeonholes me into using shotguns... thats it.

I'm rambling. I just wanted to thank you, Blizzard, for having near endless control customization in Overwatch. I don't know if this was your goal, but because of your extensive options I am able to play every character in the roster and it feels great. Because of you I made my first snipe in a video game today.

Thank you Blizzard.

Fan Forever, Zak

Shane Hickey, a fan of Blizzard has a young daughter who had something of a true dream come true when she designed her own game character for Overwatch, and sent it into the game's creators. 



Roman Kenney, an artist from Blizzard took it upon himself to put some enhancements, if you will, on the original artwork Hickey's daughter sent in.

Honestly, so ready for some sort of full-length movie from these guys!

Why the long face though, bruh? Did you just accidentally open the Ark of the Covenant or something?

*For the sake of full disclosure I recognize this is called 'smearing', a technique used frequently in animation; but still had to have some fun with it.

Information just wants to be free... For those out there otherwise unaware this means that all five expansion packs have been consolidated into the basic game, which is $20 before starting up with the monthly subscription fee. 

Can't help but hear the tortured cries of those souls that perished in the closing of Nostalrius in the background though...

Dude you can't just post a screenshot from the game for cosplay...you're not doing it right.

True life prophet.

Who is cutting onions in the room right now? Making us all break out in tears, man.
