Blizzard's newest online first-person shooter (FPS), Overwatch, continues to grow in popularity, and with it comes some fan explorations to test the game's limitations.
One of these fan-made video compilations focuses on the "myths" behind possible attack techniques and skill combinations team members can perform to further increase their efficiency in matches.
Spearheaded by DefendTheHouse on YouTube, the channel's Overwatch Myths series confirms or disproves the different ideas some Overwatch players have thought about at some point but could not test out their theory in game. Overwatch is a fast-paced shooter game after all, and you can't be caught standing around vulnerable to test a theory.
Luckily, we have DefendTheHouse to see if these ideas do work for the betterment of all Overwatch players. As Tracer says, "don't worry, loves, cavalry's here!"
At the time of this writing, three Overwatch Myths videos have been posted on the channel with 21 ideas explored, five of which have been debunked and the others confirmed. Which of these specifically works and which does not? We'll leave it you to find out.
