Overwatch season 1’s best new hero proves there’s still plenty of life in the shooter

After the Overwatch Spotlight revealed five new heroes, jokes started floating around on Reddit that Emre was the John Halo of Overwatch. It’s easy to see why. With his assault rifle, fast aiming down sights, and tactical grenades, Emre really does seem like a touch of Master Chief come to Blizzard’s hero shooter. I figured he’d just be a faster Soldier 76, nothing outstanding, but not bad either, a familiar, uncomplicated, easy-to-learn new hero for the new Overwatch. What I didn’t expect was Emre being the soul of the new Overwatch, too.
