Since arriving on the Switch last month, Blizzard's hero-based shooter Overwatch has celebrated the spooky season and a few other events. In the game's latest update, the "former guardian angel" Mercy wrestles with whether she should take to the skies again.
From now, until 2nd December, you'll be able to win special Mercy-themed rewards by winning matches in the Quick Play, Competitive Play, and Arcade modes. This includes a limited-time player icon, two sprays, a Dr. Ziegler Skin, and weekly regular rewards.
You can even watch Twitch streamers to unlock more Mercy-themed cosmetics and six unique sprays. To do this, though, you'll need to link your Blizzard account with your Twitch account.
This limited-time event ties in with the new short story "Valkyrie" by Michael Chu.
Following the explosive downfall of Overwatch, Angela Ziegler was left amidst the organization’s ashes, wanting to put it all behind her. But the reappearance of familiar faces dredges up memories, and a threat forces her to take wing to save the lives of innocents. In Michael Chu’s “Valkyrie,” Angela is faced with a choice – will she remain Dr. Ziegler, or will she dust off her suit, answer Winston’s recall, and once more don the mantle of Mercy?

Never really go Mercy tbh. I’m a support player 99% of the time but main Bap, Moira and a wee bit of Lucio on the side. Honestly, I don’t trust myself not to be a complete waste of a character slot as Mercy so it’s hard to get practice in.
I used to really like Mercy, but I didn't like how they reworked her a while back.
Looking at my play record, Mercy is my second used Hero with 5hrs (1st Wrecking Ball with 7hrs) so this works out for me.
First time I use twitch to watch something that wasn’t the Pokémon world championship. Kind a hard for me to find a twitch streamer I like to watch play since most of the ones I watched so far takes the game a little too seriously, even for quick play.
Blizzard's Hong Kong Flub has been replaced by Dexit.
It seems I need to get few games in.
Anyone else always selecting the class that gives points just because?
@CTmatic only ever seems to be tank and support though
@nessisonett Moriarty takes no skill *cough cough
@CTmatic yup
@PBandSmelly what was her old ult
So true. Never thought about that til now. @Murbs
@PickledKong64 Takes less skill to play decently but after 120 hours of play, she has a way lower skill ceiling than Bap. For noobs, maybe Moira seems OP but she’s just good, nothing more.
@nessisonett Naw man moira just takes no skill to play. Dont need to aim but shes also hard to counter as her moves go through shields. And I'm no noob.
@PickledKong64 Wait, does she not revive the entire team anymore?
@Kalmaro yeah that's one of her abilities not her alt. It sicks its impossible to get play of the game with her
