I've played 1000s of hours of Overwatch but it wasn't until its new Anniversary game mode that I discovered I have no clue what the hell I'm doing

Overwatch x SF Widowmaker and Hanzo.

Week two of Overwatch's 10-year anniversary celebrations kicked off with more challenges, loot boxes, and a gamemode for us to try out. Instead of the OG mode that players got to check out last week, this time we've got a play on Mystery Heroes, the mode where each player gets a random hero when they respawn.

This version, called Mystery Showdown, is slightly different but just as chaotic. There's a little less uncertainty as you first pick a role queue, meaning there'll always be one tank, two DPS, and two supports in a team, and instead of swapping heroes when you die, you swap heroes when you get an elimination, or three assists as a support. Or, as I found out, until the game mercy swaps you if you're particularly awful at a hero and are incapable of getting elims or assists.
