Overwatch players and matches can be highly challenging, which is part of the appeal. Fans battle passionately to achieve victory, dealing devastating blows to enemy teammates in an attempt to win the match and be awarded player of the game. Sometimes, though, the best plays are the ones that gamers never intend to make.

Reddit user LilyLotl recently posted a video to the Overwatch subreddit which details a play of the game from a fan fighting as Wrecking Ball. The new Overwatch clip shows Wrecking Ball getting stunned multiple times, zipping around the map, and still managing to get multiple kills and assists. The impressive recovery from the stuns is no doubt part of what contributed to a successful match, in addition to the teamwork between Wrecking Ball and his teammates. The short clip is an example of how skilled players can turn the tides of battle.
This video from LilyLotl is hardly the first of its kind. Funny clips from Overwatch players are constantly gracing the community, though the play of the game does have its interesting moments. Wrecking Ball is a difficult hero to play, and it’s impressive to see a gamer so well versed in using the character. While the details of the match are unclear, it certainly seems that the gamer playing as Hammond was an integral part of the team.
Indeed, that is the case with many Overwatch players. Being skilled with a hero can help contribute to successful matches and benefit teammates on the field, which is something that is incredibly important in-game. LilyLotl’s clip shows that there are many ways to dominate the battlefield, and some of them aren’t even on purpose. As players wait for Overwatch 2, they can find comfort in the fact that the original title is still a lively and unique platform where people can share such crazy moments. As fans continue to rush onto the field of battle, and as Blizzard works on its next title, players should stay tuned and watch as their fellow fans keep making the funny and interesting content that has become part of the energetic Overwatch community.
Overwatch is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
