OW is one of those games that has struck a chord with a very diverse audience.
You see a lot of different personalities on the forums, and today I would like to give everyone a chance to represent themselves.
If you’d like a checklist;
What’s your name, country.
Something cool about you.
Who is your main and why.
Anything else you feel like sharing 
My name is Jason, I’m 23 year old support/ tank flex from Australia.
I duo queue with my partner, who is a dirty sniper main 
Few years back I was a tournament class archer, competed at local things, never placed awfully high but I liked the sport of it.
I’ve been a support player since I was like maybe 16. Started with Maya on Borderlands 2. Using phaselock to rez people 8282929kms away just felt awesome.
That was when I decided “I’m going to spend all of my leisure time fixing other people’s mistakes.” xD
In every game I’ve ever played I’ve always performed better when I can respond to aggression, rather than need to be aggressive.
Support suits me pretty well.
Played league for 3 years and now I’m here, a dirty Mercy main trying to learn Zarya and Rein.

Name: Fox
Country: Classified
Main: i don’t have a main, instead my most played heroes are Dva, Sombra, Symmetra and Doomfist.
Something cool: I once ate a rock.
The first videogame i played was Spiderman and Venom: separation anxiety. I’ve been mostly a single player gamer. Overwatch is one of the few multiplayer games that have made me stick around for more time(not counting Mmorpgs).
I hate heat, and big crowds.

Hello! I’m a (somewhat*) flex Mercy/Junkrat main in Overwatch. Call me the “Unpopular Optimistic Wet-Blanket” of the forums 
I’m a console player who saw Overwatch in commercials and ads on PSN two years ago and thought “Y’know what? Why not? It looks fun!” So as soon as I got paid, I took care of what needed takin’ care of and bought myself a copy.
And I haven’t looked back since 
I made up my BT/user ID on the fact that I draw beastly monsters for fun. Junkrat was the first hero I learned how to play because he looked fun to play as. Sure enough, he was also funny to hear midgame
Mercy was the second hero I learned how to play with. The most embarrassing moment when I was learning how to play her was when I was trying to switch to her pistol. I was aiming at the enemy with the staff and frantically button-mashing, thinking there was a combo or something in order to whip it out 
My dream is to become a digital animator and a voice actor 
Pleasure to meet everyone
*I say “somewhat” because I seldom go DPS, so I flex mostly between tank, support and defense roles.
Edit: Gif was too big. Aww…
Edit 2: Spelled “pistol” wrong X)

Eh my name is Gracie, China…
I think I am main of D.Va on PC because she is strong, and on xbox one is Sombra because it easy to me play her.
I’m Anna, and I presently live in the United States! I love to travel all over. I’m 20 years old and currently studying biology in my university.
I’m currently writing a story for a multiplayer game (not developing it myself), and I love to play indie pixel games. I do play the occasional shooter (Overwatch ofc, Team Fortress 2, Serious Sam) and a lot of visual novels. I also recently got engaged to my girlfriend, so I’m pretty happy! She missed the pink Mercy event, so I kinda wish I could somehow get it for her. :s
I main Widowmaker and Zarya, but on this account I main Moira and Brigitte, because I love being annoying. 
In FFA, I love playing Doomfist, and I got more into him after watching the first trailer for Infinity War.
My username is just as generic as you’d expect in Overwatch, but when I selected it, it gave me 12721 as my bnet tag. It’s the same backwards, as is my name. So I kind of find it special! On any other media, I go by Lunarys.

Hey my Overwatch people!
I’m RichC and I’m a GLORIOUS Reinhardt/tank main!!
Why? Because when I was first choosing which hero to main I saw a 1 ton Armored German Warrior Veteran who brought a Rocket propelled hammer to gun fight!!! I knew right then, that was my main!
Interesting stuff about me? I’ve hiked the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail)
And I also have a Youtube Channel that is dedicated to Reinhardt stuff! It’s full of wacky stuff, informative stuff, tips, tricks, and strategies for using Reinhardt; some commentaries, and Rein gameplay.

Hi, I’m Molly! I’m a college student from the good ol’ USA. And I love mangoes.
I used to do competitive swimming on a national level, but I’m no longer about that life anymore 
I have 3 roommates and a wonderful boyfriend, as well as a 7-month old kitten named Aang! And I’m studying to be a lawyer, but I always find time to throw in a round of Quickplay.
I never really considered myself a gamer for most of my life, but I was intrigued by how Overwatch had a hero for every skill level, including me, who had the aiming skills of a half-dead cockroach! I joined back in 2016, right after Sombra came out. I also started getting active on the forums a couple months ago, just for the sake of communicating more with the playerbase!
I don’t like thinking of myself as having a “main,” as I want to be good with at least two heroes in each category. However, I usually fill, so most of my hours are usually spent playing tanks and supports. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of practice with Orisa and Moira, though Mercy and Zenyatta are my “old reliables” to fall back on if a match is going sour.
I’m actually much more active on the forums than most people might think. I have a lot to say. But I usually type up super-long posts, read them over, nitpick every mistake, start thinking they sound stupid, and then delete them altogether!
Whoever you are, I’m glad to meet you!

Name: Chester
Country: Australia
Occupation: Designer
Hero: Flex Player (Usually Tank and Support)
Hobbies: Gym, running, martial arts, cooking, travelling.
Something Cool: I single handedly took on two Yakuza men in Tokyo to save a man that they were choking and in another instance took on a gang of four causing chaos in the city. I have an average of 95-98% marksmanship with a hand gun (police training circuit) but prefer an archery bow. Other cool things are classified. But the coolest thing is …I get my own health packs and do not require healing. *heroic emote *
Nice to meet you all
Name: Cameron
Country: 'Murica
Occupation: Linux admin at a webhosting company
Hero: These days, I main most tank/support heroes (Brigitte and Dva this season especially), but can flex to most.
Hobbies: My job has made me lazy, so all I really do outside of work is OW.
I’m actually browsing the forums at work right now because they stuck me on graveyards for a month so I am bored out of my mind.

Hi there! My name is Kamil, I’m 20 and im from this place:
Poland
City: Katowice
Im here with you on this forum since November 2017 and im having a great fun 
The main reason why im sharing my thoughts on this forum instead of Polish one is - I really want my english to be better, and i believe that there is no better way to do it than communicate with native speakers.
Something cool: I always wanted to be a plane pilot. I was really hyped for it, but due to my problems with spine, i will probably never be one.
Heroes: Im playing pretty much every hero in this game… except for Reinhardt. Sorry big guy, but i dont like bringing hammer into a gunfight

You write English as if it was native to you
I know first hand speaking it is the hard part, but clearly you’ve got a good grip on writing it.
The strangest part about speaking English is the whimsical way in which it is delivered.
It’s hard to speak in english without applying a sort of “melody” to the sentence?
Hmm, anyway.
Lovely to speak to you

Name: Fanel
Country: Romania.
Main: Hanzo
I like Hanzo because is extremly satysfying to play. Also he is the only hero with something resembling a thing from my country. His Okami skin shoots wolves instead of dragons. These wolves look the same as Draco, the Dacian Wolf.
Something cool: I can snap my fingers at will continuosly.
I played TF2 a lot. I have around 2.7K hours in the game. I played the game competitively aswell. My main classes were Medic, Scout and Spy in that order.

You only seem to meet people who either don’t like TF2, or who have devoted years of their lives to it haha.
There’s never a middle ground
I’ve been watching a lot of TF2 content lately, due to the OW comparison.
I found a youtuber that calls kimself King Rajaa, the ashblaster?
He’s pretty funny xD

Name: Shiranui
Age: 23
Country: Currently in USA but I’m from Hong Kong
My main: I love playing tanks especially Reinhardt. But I’m a flex player who plays a lot of Lucio for support, Junkrat for defense and Soldier for dps. Right now I’m learning to play McCree, Roadhog and Zenyatta.
I also play OW with my partner Amaterasu. We got the names from Okami, it’s super fun to see the reactions from other people in game when they notice our names:3 Amaterasu is a pretty gud Ana and I feel super safe playing with them as a Rein main:D
Oh yeah btw I’m a 3D modeler, in search of a stable job right now and is working as a freelance 3D artist for a few game projects. Hopefully I will be able to officially join the industry soon:)
