Hey, I’m Tenor, also a 19 year old college student!

I’ve played overwatch since its release, but I stepped away from PC gaming for a few months to play 900 hours of Destiny. (Hard to believe that Destiny used to be good o_o)

I main Widow and Ana.

I’ve always loved sniping. In Overwatch, sniping is super hard, which makes it super fun!

My least favorite hero changes a lot. It was pre nerf Mercy, but she not a problem anymore. Mostly anything that feels cheap. I really don’t enjoy getting killed by Junkrat, Moira, or Genji.

Favorite map is Hanamura. I’m a sucker for cool aesthetics.

My favorite skin currently is the Nova skin for Widow. Previously it was Tracer’s graffiti skin, and before that it was Ana’s Ghoul skin.

The forums are a lot of fun. This is kinda what I do in place of social media.

I’m JDR, a 17 year old loner.
I believe i started shortly before summer games.
Symmetra, Mercy, D.va and Sombra.
Sym: I love her design, personality and abilities. Mercy: She is my fave healer due to abilities and voice. D.va: I like her playstyle. Sombra: see Sym.
Junkrat, i find him annoying in every way.
I can’t decide between oasis or king’s row.
Either Sym"s oasis , Mercy’s zhuque or Widow’s Nova
I like interacting with people and having fun with the more positive threads. I can’t really talk to others IRL so i do so here instead.

I’m Neidii and I’ve been playing since first day of release. I used to main Zarya, but while she isn’t meta now I main Zen and Soldier because they both have healing and dps, I like those types of heroes. I currently prefer ctf ranked because I really like Pharah so I get to play her there a lot. I like all koth maps the most. My favorite skin is Sanzang for Zen, it’s so beautiful!

Hi°Y°a, I’m Neppos, a rustblooded troll from an alien planet called Alternia. I’m 9 solar sweeps old, which is about 19 Earth °Y°ears I belie°V°e. I’°V°e been pla°Y°ing O°V°erwatch since launch da°Y° thanks to the help of a juju that allows me to connect to °Y°our uni°V°erse!
I main D.°V°a because I reall°Y° lo°V°e characters that support se°V°eral skill sets and pla°Y°st°Y°les, and she’s prett°Y° cute.
Howe°V°er, m°Y° fa°V°orite hero is Moira. She’s a great addition to the healer roster and °V°er°Y° engaging.
M°Y° least fa°V°orite hero is McCree, I’m just not skilled enough to pla°Y° him properl°Y°, and his flashbang alwa°Y°s anno°Y°s me when fighting him.
M°Y° fa°V°orite map is Eichenwalde, although I’m not sure wh°Y°. I guess I just ha°V°e alot of good memories of this map.
M°Y° fa°V°orite skin is Black Cat, no doubt about it. I think it’s reall°Y° prett°Y°, and I lo°V°e the winking cat on her pistol, as well as the general color scheme.
I use the forums to see what the de°V°elopers and communit°Y° think about the game and discuss some stuff.

Why do you main them?
I just love their play style and personalities. I always have the most fun with Tracer and I love healing and protecting, too.

Roadhog.

Hanamura. Even though it can be pretty frustrating sometimes there’s just something about this map. It forces you to join attacks more than any other map.
