In the first portion of this article, which you can find here, we took a look at the first half of the most annoying Overwatch characters. In this part, we're taking a look at the cream of the crap, that make you want to put a foot in the TV. Here we GOOOooo....
5) Reinhardt
I have a lot of respect for Reinhardt players, considering they are taking the heat for their teammates. That doesn’t make it less annoying or dishardtening (heh heh) to see that big red shield with the horde of Mordor behind it. And after unloading a full clip into the shield, just when you’ve finally gotten them to drop it, that big motherfucker is powering forward at you and pinning you to the wall when you’re just trying to reload.
4) Bastion
UGH. Bastion is suchhhhhh bullshit. All he has to do is post up in the point and you’re absolutely fucked, especially in maps like Temple of Anubis. You can throw yourself against the wall of bullets hoping to make it through, but it’s like a bird trying to erode a mountain by wiping its beak on it. Not going to happen in the 10 minutes you have per game. And then he tries to act all cute with his “doot doot”s and “bleep bloops”? Nuh uh, Bastion. I see through your façade, and behind it is one devious motherfucker.
3) Reaper
I feel like Reaper wouldn’t be so high on this list if he wasn’t so cool looking. But he is, which means a lot of new players take him, which means you see him a lot. Like, A LOT. So you’re constantly fending off those god damn shotguns, and they’re teleporting around, and just when you’ve almost got him, he wraith-forms out of there and you’ve just wasted time and health on NOTHING. So you try and heal up when all of sudden he’s back and screaming “DIE DIE DIE” AND YOU DO. YOU DO DIE. FUCKKKKKKKK YOU REAPER.
2) Mei
Little peak behind the scenes, here; Mei originally started at number 6 on this list. But the more I thought about her, the angrier I got, and she slowly moved up until here she is, folks. Silver medallist in the “go fuck yourself” Olympics. The thing that makes Mei so annoying isn’t the fact that freezing is bullshit and sitting there not being able to do anything as you get attacked is horrible, although it was enough to get her on the list in the first place. No, the worst part about Mei is that she can AND DOES fuck over her own team. So many times I’ve been attacking an enemy when all of a sudden a blue wall of ice shoots up in between us. Now that son of a bitch can scurry off to regroup and maybe even heal up, making everything I just did pointless. I’ve also been on Volskaya Industries in the little bunker when a Mei who thought they were just hilariously original trapped me in there with a wall of ice and frankly I don’t know that I’ve ever been angrier at a video game.
1) Roadhog
Number one with a fucking bullet. So much health. The ability to self-heal. The power with which he doles out damage. Any one of these things would be enough to make me hate him. But the thing that absolutely infuriates me is that God. Damn. Hook. The hook that travels through time and space to grab you. The hook that somehow manages to round corners to grab you. The hook that can pull your character right through a fucking pillar because, who cares how the world actually works? The world works for Roadhog, not the other way around. So this hook comes out of nowhere like you’re in Tremors and it is time to resign yourself to the sweet embrace of death, because it’s coming, baby. It’s coming for you. My fury has a name, and it is Roadhog.
Disagree with this ranking? Think I’m just a filthy casual who wouldn’t know a tank from a hole in the wall? Sound off in the comments with what you’d change, or just let me know how great you are with Hanzo and why I’m an idiot.
