It's High Nerf!

For fans of the new Blizzard Entertainment game Overwatch, this news may come as no surprise.

McCree, a character in the game, is seriously overpowered! He takes out tanks like they are fluffy little bunnies with his ultimate attack: High Noon.


He shouldn't be able to do that!
Well, you're right! The creators have spoken and expressed concerns over McCree's Cowboy-God-like power! They have suggested that a nerf is in the works.

For those who don't know what a nerf is:
(No.. not those foam guns/balls that you pretend to kill people you don't like with)

A Nerf is an addition or change to a video game that makes the game less desirable or effective.
This is good news for everyone fighting against McCree. 
It means that the game creators are metaphorically nerf-gunning him!

Suck it, McCree!

Some more good news for players is that D. Va, a seriously UNDERpowered character, has also been targeted by the creators. 



While they probably won't fix BOTH characters right away, it is good that they know there are problems and they are actively working to fix them! D.Va will most likely be put on the back-burner until McCree can calm the heck down!

In brighter (and less Nerf-y) news, Overwatch's "Competitive Play" mode will return by the end of this month!
SWEET! 
Not only is that news already PHENOMENAL...
But, with the return of "Competitive Play", comes:
a longer season
a more skill-based system without a safety net
and a dynamic queue for matchmaking

!!!!!!


Are you excited?
You should be excited!
I am excited!

No cheating, you guys!
