As a day-one Overwatch player who's grinded through every meta since 2016, I've got PTSD from these absolutely busted heroes 😭. Balancing this game feels like herding cats – Blizzard tries, but someone always breaks the scale! I still wake up sweating remembering how these legends could solo-carry matches while making the enemy team rage-quit. Let me take you through the nightmare fuel that defined entire seasons...

Ana: The Original Support Monster

Man, launch Ana was UNREAL! 🤯 Her healing output felt like cheating – I'd nano-boost Reinhardt and watch him slaughter entire teams while I casually out-healed three enemies combined. That biotic grenade anti-heal? Pure evil. I remember stacking her with triple-tank comps and feeling invincible. Even today in 2025, I miss that raw power where landing sleep darts actually meant something!

Moira: Brain-Dead Healing God

When Moira dropped in 2017, support mains (including me) lost our minds! Her coalescence ultimate required zero aim – just hold left-click and watch health bars magically refill 💫. Quad-tank meta with her was hilarious; we'd roll payloads like bulldozers while Moira's piss-colored beams flooded the screen. Felt dirty winning with 20k healing while barely trying...

Roadhog: The Hook Horror

Y'all remember when Hog could one-shot squishies from across the map? 😈 That broken hook hitbox hooked me through walls I didn't even know existed! Landing those juicy scrap-gun headshots made me feel like a god. Environmental kills on Ilios well? Chef's kiss! Now he's shadow of former glory, but I'll never forget deleting Zenyattas every 8 seconds!

Sigma: The Swiss Army Tank

Launch Sigma broke EVERY rule 🛡️💥. His accretion-rock combo could insta-kill 200HP heroes with zero counterplay – I'd stunlock Tracers and cackle like a villain. That kinetic grasp ate ultimates for breakfast! Double-shield meta with Orisa was toxic paradise... still gives me shivers.

Sombra: EMP Spam Queen

OG Sombra was wild! Hacking health packs gave free EMP charge – I'd have ultimate before first fight ended! 😼 Stealthing behind supports for instant kills felt illegal. Got my only 5k EMP play during her broken era... and yes, I teabagged.

Mercy: Resurrection Madness

Mercy's mass-rez ult was pure chaos! 🙏 Hiding in corners while teammates died, then pressing Q for POTG... chef's meme. Valkyrie rework? Even worse! Flying around with infinite ammo beam and TWO instant revives created the cursed 'Moth Meta'. I miss being unkillable!

Doomfist: The Backline Bully

PRE-REWORK DOOMFIST HAUNTS MY DREAMS! 😤 One-punching squishies, then seismic-slamming away? Absurd! I'd dive supports, delete them, and escape unscathed like a anime villain. This beast defined dive metas:

• Rocket Punch one-shots: 200HP gone

• Uppercut combos: Zero counterplay

• Meteor Strike: Free team wipes

Brigitte: The GOATS Destroyer

BRIGITTE BROKE OVERWATCH. Full stop. 🛑 Her release created the dark ages of GOATS meta (3 tanks + 3 supports). Rally armor + shield bash one-shotting Tracer? Disgusting! I climbed to GM abusing her – no skill required. Blizzard nuked her... but the trauma remains!
