Overwatch 6K Takes on Cinematic Drama

The Deadeye 6K might be the most popular highlight in Overwatch history, but few do it so well as this clip from the Overwatch subreddit.

The clip, posted Friday by u/Loaf235, takes that simple concept and adds a layer of humor and drama not usually found in these highlights. Rather than show a cut and dry team wipe, Loaf235 weaves in slow motion, deft sound editing, and a full on flashback to create a true Overwatch highlight.

McCree's journey from spawn room on Hanamura's second point to the stairs beside the point, and finally to the name plastered across the killfeed, is broken down with a filmmaker's grace. Powered up by a friendly Ana's Nanoboost, McCree waits patiently for his moment, tanking damage and watching for the enemy Reinhardt's shield finally to crack. He hears the words of Zenyatta, his tutor, echoing in his memory, and his patience is ultimately rewarded with the instant team kill most players can only dream of.

Do yourself a favor and watch the clip.
