I know on this channel I'm usually criticizing Overwatch, but for this video, I want to talk about something I think they get really, really right - their hero design. Overwatch's characters are a huge part of the game's success, and I would even go so far as to argue that they're the key to the game's continued longevity. So, that's what this video is about! Definitely nothing else. Definitely no secret surprises in this video. Pinkie swear.
