A player recently pulled off an impressive play of the game inOverwatch 2as D.Va, but they did not get to enjoy the highlight as they fell to their death shortly after pulling off the play. WithOverwatch 2moving from a 6v6 to 5v5 format, the role of the tank player has become even more critical since there is only one on each squad in role queue. However, that has not stopped these players from achieving some notable highlights.
One of these gamers making some memorable plays in the team-based hero shooter is a player known as Nephtis. Recently, they showed theplaymaking potential of D.Va inOverwatch 2during a match. Unfortunately, they also revealed that the map could sometimes be deadlier than the enemy team.

The video began with the play of the game highlight intro for D.Va and then transitioned to theKing’s Row map inOverwatch 2. The action happened after the third checkpoint as the enemy team tried to push the payload. In an attempt to stop their offensive, Nephtis piloted their mech into the middle of the enemy team before ejecting and activating Self-Destruct. While the Ultimate ended up eliminating four players on the opposing team, the Reddit user did not have time to celebrate as they walked off the map into the chasm below the map. This led to one of the more embarrassing play-of-the-game moments possible inOverwatch 2.
After making the blunder during theOverwatch 2match, Nephtis decided to share the highlight to Reddit to see if anyone agreed that the clip was “embarrassing.” Unsurprisingly, the post has been a hit with theOverwatch 2community, accumulating more than 5.7K upvotes over the last day. While many people agreed with Nephtis, another user said that the gamer should be “proud” because “Funny potg’s are way more interesting than run of the mill potgs.” In addition, gamers said they found it amusing that the bodies of several of the enemies proceeded to fall into the abyss after Nephtis.
While the play of the game segment after matches inOverwatch 2is meant to show off the skill of players, this highlight from Nephtis revealed that this is not always the case. Interestingly, this is not the only funny play of the game involving the mechanized tank that has been uploaded to Reddit. Recently, another gamer posted a clip that showed anewOverwatch 2player stumbling into a play of the game as D.Va.
In addition to providing memorable clips for theOverwatch 2community to enjoy, these play-of-the-game highlights suggest that D.Va is a powerful pick in the Season 1 meta. While several other tanks are arguably as good, her variety of abilities allows her to dive enemies in the back line while also providing protection for her teammates by using her Defense Matrix. Time will tell what other clips featuring this tank are shared next.
Overwatch 2is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
