Another userrepliedwith a picture of the Lifeweaver Cleric skin looking similar to the lower-quality Symmetra one.
Players not used to seeing Overwatch on the Nintendo console were left baffled and wondering how the rest of the game even plays.
“Need to see what happens when 2 Ramattras ult at the same time on Switch,” onejoked, referencing the tank hero’s ultimate ability.
“I booted it up on my Switch and did a practice match vs AI (didn’t wanna try a real match on it). First fight on Rialto had it chugging to low 20s,” another chimed in.
