12 funniest Overwatch Play of the Game parodies

The world is in the throes of full-on Overwatch hysteria, as Blizzard's competitive team-shooter is blowing up every single corner of the internet. The reason is simple: Blizzard has gone out of its way to make you feel good while you play it, and one of the ways it does this is by highlighting a particularly impressive takedown or maneuver and showing it off during the Play of the Game at the end of the match.

There's just one problem: the algorithm it uses isn't always the most accurate thing in the world, often showing particularly ludicrous moments which are statistically impressive but… less than appropriate visually. Overwatch fans have taken it in stride, though, and have edited some of their own truly hilarious Play of the Game videos - complete with soaring musical score and ridiculous sound effects
