Overwatch 2 Player Uses Kiriko's Teleport and Immediately Regrets It
23.02.2024 - 00:49 / gamerant.com / John Bonelli
An unlucky Kiriko player in Overwatch 2 has been brutalized by an opposing Pharah immediately after teleporting to their low-health Widowmaker. Overwatch 2 recently started its ninth season, named Champions, which primarily focuses on reworking the Competitive suite, resetting the ranks of all players, and adding the new Champion rank. The new season also introduced a mythic skin for Moira as part of its eldritch horror-themed battle pass.
Debuting with the launch of Overwatch 2 next to Sojourn and Junker Queen, Kiriko quickly became one of the game's more popular support heroes. Having trained alongside Genji, Kiriko wields deadly kunai blades in one hand and slings healing ofuda to teammates with the other. One of the hero's more useful traversal abilities, Swift Step, allows Kiriko to quickly teleport to any ally within 35 meters, even through walls. The ability has led to Kiriko players getting caught up in some dangerous and hilarious situations since she's been on the roster.
On Reddit, Kiriko player Leading_Ad_9197 has shared a chaotic clip involving the use of Kiriko's Swift Step. In the short video, Kiriko comes out of their spawn during overtime on the Esperanca Push map. With their team in possession of the lead and the Overwatch 2 Push robot, the Kiriko player spots their Widowmaker who's in need of health in the flank building ahead. Upon teleporting to the Widow, the Kiriko player immediately gets bombarded with a full barrage of missiles at point-blank range from the opposing Pharah's ultimate, who was also in the room seemingly hunting the Widow. Both Widowmaker and Kiriko perish in the blink of an eye.
It's quite strange that the Pharah would blow their whole ultimate on a low-health Widowmaker and Kiriko, no less on the ground in a small flank room. Pharah's ultimate is best used up in the air looking down from behind the enemy line. As one commenter under the post humorously put it, this seemed personal. The Kiriko player quickly flashed the stat board in the clip, showing that the Widowmaker had a solid match of 16 kills, while the opposing Pharah had only five kills and nine deaths. With that in mind, this bizarre Pharah play seems like one of frustration at the Widowmaker player, especially since the Pharah should've been booking it back toward the robot to keep their team alive during overtime rather than chasing after the low-health Widowmaker in the flank room. It's highly likely that the Widowmaker caused a lot of grief for the Pharah over the course of the match, leading to the explosive beef in overtime.
Season 9 of Overwatch 2has given Pharah a minor rework, providing her more speed and maneuverability in the air while limiting her fuel recharge to when she's on the ground.

Skull and Bones Already Getting Price Cuts
Ubisoft's latest release, Skull and Bones, has seen its price reduced by $25 only three weeks after its release, though it has since returned to full price. Skull and Bones is Ubisoft's second $70 AAA title behind December 2023's first-person adventure shooter Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. As the price of video games has risen from the $60 standard over the past several years, many gamers have become more selective over which games they choose to spend money on, live service titles especially.

This Wild D.Va Ability Idea Would Be Perfect for Overwatch 2's Next April Fools Update
An Overwatch 2 player has come up with a hilarious and ridiculous idea that would fit right in with the game's expected April Fools joke patch. Currently in its ninth season, Overwatch 2 has overhauled its competitive mode, resetting everyone's ranks and adding a new tier called Champion. The new season also brought some significant changes to the Junkertown payload map, adding several new pieces of large cover around the first payload checkpoint to give offensive teams a better chance against opposing Pharah and Widowmaker players.
