Many Overwatch players enjoy the diversity and innovation that can be only found in custom games. One Reddit user, u/andygmb, was brave enough to do the unthinkable: create a 1v1 GOATS game mode. This custom game mode brings a whole new meaning to the word group up because the whole team is forced closer than in any other game mode, into a single unit.

The video shows an entire time stuck together for the true 1-v-1 experience, but while keeping the customary six players per team. It seems the main reason that the creator chose GOATS as the team composition was for the movement abilities.

After the video was posted on Reddit, many people pointed out its similarity to the existing custom game mode crouch to merge. All of these combining and conquering game modes have a clear similarity and that is that everyone lives together and everyone dies together. The clip shows Reinhardt charge off a cliff and divide into 6 separate heroes as they all perish.
