Originally, Overwatch 2 had plans to include a story mode that had players take on enemies in a cooperative game mode similar to previous Overwatch seasonal events. Instead, however, the PvE portion of Overwatch 2 was delayed and Blizzard decided to focus on the multiplayer aspect and launch the new version of the game as a free to play online shooter. Currently, the game is in its second competitive season and fans have been sharing their most impressive clips among each other in the community.

One Ana player decided to share their own clip displaying their talents to Reddit. In the clip, the player can be seen respawning on the Liajang Tower map from the game. As soon as they exit the spawn, the player launches Ana’s grenade ability from spawn that goes over half of the stage before finally landing on one of the enemy support heroes who happened to be crossing the bridge at the worst time. The grenade finishes off the Overwatch 2 Support hero Kiriko, and secures a kill for the player in the process.
Other Overwatch 2 fans shared their reaction to the clip in the comments. A few Junkrat players were pleased by the video and stated that they also enjoy getting ridiculous pot shot kills like this. Fellow Ana players added that launching grenades from spawn and waiting to see if it hit anything is one of their favorite plays to attempt as well and another user referenced the popular trend of paying homage to the legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant by simply typing “Kobe!”
The impressive clip displays part of the reason that Overwatch became such a phenomenon in the first place. The game is easy to pick up but has a very high skill ceiling that allows players to experiment with heroes and pull off some ridiculous plays. Unfortunately, Overwatch 2 still has lackluster battle pass rewards and balancing issues that may eventually push players to a new competitive experience if not addressed.
Overwatch 2 is available now on PC, PS5, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
