In the lively world of Overwatch, where the tides of battles are often tipped by the composition of the opposing team, one particular Reddit user, SeraphinaV, sparked a vibrant discussion on “Which enemy comp makes you sigh as soon as you see them in game?” The prompt clearly hit a nerve, drawing players out of the woodwork to share their most exasperating experiences.
Summary
- Overwhelmingly, a sigh-inducing character composition among Reddit users involves high-mobility characters coupled with immortality features.
- Characters like Sombra and Widowmaker, who offer stealth and range capabilities, were repeatedly mentioned in users’ pesky team comps.
- Mercy’s ability to revive fallen allies adds a frustrating twist to take-down efforts, fueling a growing resentment within the player community.
Dreaded Combinations
One user, Dull-Ad-793, expressed their dread of encountering Bastion right after a victorious team fight, painting a vivid picture of the sinking feeling of impending doom. The comment, engulfed in the weariness of ceaseless skirmishes, strikes a prolific resonance among fellow players.
Healsg00dMan amusingly sums up the consternation of many players with a sigh-filled list that includes Widow, Hanzo, along with a few others. The sheer despair in his comment is almost infectious.
Common Nuisances
The name ‘Sombra’ echoes throughout the thread, earning the annoyance of numerous contributors, including monkeymugshot, whose entire contribution to the conversation was reduced to the character’s name.
Enter, the regular trio of trouble: Mauga, Widow, Mercy. SpinachDonut_21’s comment sketches out an all-too-familiar scenario, laying bare the ‘twin terror’ mechanics of Overwatch battles – constant revives by a pesky Mercy, and seemingly immortal opponents.
Thorn in the Side
A personal pick for most vexing character goes to Mercy. Her mobility, coupled with her ability to resurrect allies, has joojaw crying out in frustration, depicting a sadly common scenario in the game. His comment refuses to pull any punches as he ardently wishes Mercy was never added to the game. ‘Why are heroes never dead when I kill them?’ is a sentiment echoed by many an Overwatch player.
All said and done, nothing says game night like a good ol’ round of ranting about our virtual nemeses. After all, what fun is a game without a little bit of a challenge, even if that challenge makes us sigh deeply and wonder why we even log on in the first place?
