Best of Overwatch - March 7, 2017

The more I play, the more I enjoy the variety (Bastion excluded) of the Heroes in the matches this year.    It's refreshing in that way... now... Bastion.... let's sort that out and get him back to point where he isn't in every game. 

Vin Diesel Fact:  If a player leaves a game that Vin Diesel is participating in a SWAT team arrives at their home immediately and they are forced to play out the match.   


And now.... the best of Overwatch...
