This week will probably be the last week we have to deal with the Brawl rotation, since the Arcade is expected to arrive shortly.
Because of both the MOBA and shooter elements that Overwatch possesses, there are a lot of different factors that make up the gameplay. Clip size, projectile speed, cooldown length, hero kit; all these values and more are what create the balance in the game, and are thus very important. But what if you go crazy and just throw all balance overboard?
This is what the old Brawl mode in Overwatch was aimed at, but what the upcoming Arcade will take to the next level. With the Sombra patch expected to arrive this week, soon you will not have to wait for your favorite Brawl to show up.
This week's Overwatch Brawl is called Overly Defensive, and it is not the first time it has come up in rotation. This particular Brawl consists of the following rules:
- Heroes available: Bastion, Hanzo, Junkrat, Mei, Torbjörn, Widowmaker
- No more than two of each hero can be picked per team
Because of the wide variety the Defense class offers, this Brawl's approach will really depend on your personal preferences. It might be a good opportunity to try out your Mei or Junkrat, especially against no-tank lineups.
We expect the Arcade mode to arrive later this week, after which all Brawl rulesets will become permanently available, as well as some extra exciting ones.
