The Overwatch 2 Ability Quiz that defeated even the OW Game Director

[@KarQ]

If you scrolled here early, scroll back up RIGHT NOW and try it yourself (1 point for hero name, 2 points for exact ability name). Whose score did you beat? 😎😎

[@witchamy]

you may not believe me but i got all names correct :3

[@AArrow-]

All of them

[@Dude-X-Perfect]

I got 25 out of 30 correct I somehow failed at Hanzo’s ability name thinking it’s Leap but as soon as the answer came I knew it. Then failed at the last question. I thought I knew all passives but the last question really meant to throw you off. I guessed Wreaking Ball’s Adaptive Shields. I thought of Zarya a lot but didn’t know it was the passive so I get 0/3 and

[@deadlydwarf9312]

jay3s

[@iiiDragzy]

You need to make it trickier, everyone got them all right. I reckon the only people who didn’t get them all right either started in ow2 or got like 1 wrong.

[@faastex]

KarQ: *shows any icon* Jay3: "is that mercy?"

[@joshuataylor5080]

Watching the Bronze DPS getting them wrong was hilarious 🤣

[@UnseenTorn28]

[@DizzyHotSauce]

Every icon with a healing symbol belongs to Mercy, apparently

I understand Aaron isn't involved that much into the naming/iconography of the abilities, but it's still funny to see him fail lol

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

Makes me wonder if he also has the upcoming hero icons in his mind as well - trying to curb some of those out or possible reworks for current. His mindset isn't the present game, but the future of it.

[@tailgrowth]

To be fair, I was also thinking that these abilities probably go through multiple names during hero development, and they have said they usually refer to them with silly nicknames during playtesting and design, so I wasn't surprised that, counter-intuitively, it would be harder for a dev than a player to get correct.

[@InkLink]

makes me wonder whether he even plays the game at all lol, he basically got everything wrong

[@bendy981]

The best part is Jay3 constantly guessing mercy's staff when it's not an ability and has no icon

[@texdoc89]

I mean he plays Ashe, so he just wants or thinks all supports should be or are Mercy in some way LOL

[@TheDarkPeasant]

Technically it does have an icon on the hero description screen and in the bottom right in game, but it’s a white side view of the staff and yes it’s not an ability

Every time I play Overwatch. I try not to remember it. That’s my excuse

[@SpicyToast2424]

All aim no brain ima dps main😂. Thats your excuse, trust me its the only thing you have to say👌

[@alexander2019.]

I won't lie a few of these were very confusing but it doesn't help that us OW players rename stuff to make things easier to say lmao. Window, Bubble, Lamp, Dash, Jump, DM/Matrix, Hook, Block, Boop. Doesn't help that some characters have around 9 ability icons and ability reworks and changes. Quite a challenge to remember the actual names sometimes.

[@ordinarylittlebastard3248]

Isn't Hog's Hook actually named Hook tho?

[@leonardocastellanos7344]

Nah, if you play a game even for a bit getting ability names is really easy. Us as players call them different things because it’s faster and easier to make callouts with in game.

[@jacobmartin9021]

@@ordinarylittlebastard3248 It's named Chain Hook

[@alexander2019.]

@@leonardocastellanos7344 Yeah I played since launch. I’m don’t think anyone is gonna remember all the actual names by heart. I know sigma has shield but I’m not calling it the experimental barrier.

I started off so well... Look, I hadn't played Overwatch in over a month guys, be kind to me. At least I'm not as bad as Jay3

It was a bit difficult to play the game ourselves because the icon was always coming with the first guess. Aside from that great edit and very good content idea

[@spirit1288]

Jay3 taking in more Ls than oxygen

[@FlappySlappy]

You should have thrown in abilities that aren’t in the game anymore 😂 fun video!

[@TYSGoldenWolf]

I was SO certain that the last one was bait for Zarya's bubble, that the only other thing that I could remember that looked something like that, was adaptive shields for Ball. I was so confident in that answer I didn't even consider that it could still be another ability of Zarya's. But honestly even if I did, I didn't even realize that Zarya's energy is actually a passive, the only icon for passive abilities I've seen (besides newly released heroes) is the one that's a head outline with a lightning bolt in it. This was a really fun video. Great job KarQ!

[@Srelathon]

Imma be honest the editing of this is kinda annoying cause I also wanted to guess alongside them but most of them show up too late and people are already saying stuff

[@Fitzyhere]

Man I was SO CLOSE

[@jonathanm5894]

“Kinda like going through the supports and none of them…do that” 😂 5:55

[@JackeryPumpkin]

This was awesome! I can’t believe Jay missed everything. Fitzy flexing the brain. Aaron doing just barely better than Jay was a shock. We need a rematch

Don't feel bad Aaron, you've only been here since the beginning and run the whole ass game now.

I got 27/30 and idk whether to be proud or disappointed 😭 Love this kind of video, please do more! Super fun stuff :)

[@Tom-101]

Gotta give it to you this is a top tier video title lol, not even clickbait.

[@catdaddie]

the way i was SO confident that the last one was wreckingball overshield or whatever... betrayal

[@bigfudge2031]

Should have thrown in angelic descent because I doubt anyone would have even known that was its own ability.

[@BarbecueBaconn]

“oooOOOOOO😀… 😦what is that?” -Jay3

[@henriquealvarenga9244]

28, only missed Zarya's passive, but I KNEW it didn't look quite like projected barrier, like, it just felt off. But I completely forgot about her passive. Still, pretty good. Guess I'm too familiar with these icons lol

[@calinacho7704]

And then there's me thinking Zarya's passive was Hammond's adaptive shield

[@koziak6076]

When I saw: "Jay 3 - boosted bronze support main", I laughed SO hard...

[@Cheese_OW]

Aaron: "No, look at this." *gets hit with an ad* 😂

[@TVHammond]

the "that looks like dorado'' *spilt second of dorado music* had me going for a second 😂

[@Fishpasta4]

Come on Aaron, it's literally the only part of the game you guys decided to keep.

[@KeanuChrist]

Poor Bastion. Don't worry buddy, I knew.

[@MacDangles]

Aaron Keller saying "chat help me" its an absolute highlight reel... can we meme that?

[@matrixshaman6652]

I kinda wish you would show the icon before people started talking so we could guess without influence. Also, is Bastion's ability just called reconfiguration in OW2? The footage was from OW1, but the title says OW2. Other than that, great video.

[@bodacious12]

I got 28... I need to go outside more. I only called sigma's barrier projected instead of experimental

[@BuildingHP]

Fantastic concept for a video 😂 reminds me of SVB’s lore quiz liveshows he used to do when Holi was still playing OW gosh…

[@akuow]

I thought I'd know all of these but even I got fooled on Zarya's "Energy". Why is it even a passive? It's just a part of her weapon.

Smash -AARON KELLER

[@myseglis]

25 points, not bad, Hanzo's Lunge was impossible to get for me and somehow worse than Zarya's Passive lmao. Fun game though, Aaron Keller really is not good at it hahaha

[@TheDarkPeasant]

I find it funny that some of these people have 10x more hours on the game than me and I still got just about all of them (except the last one I didn’t even know energy counted as a passive).

[@LepsMere]

That was fun. Great seeing Aaron and the devs in this.

[@PhantomFrisk4]

"Smash"

[@freedom3208]

i got all of them but the damn zarya passive 😭😭😭

[@charKT-7461]

Took me a minute on that last one, but I got the other ones immediately. I thought the last one was Doomfist's passive icon, but then I remembered that that icon is a shield with a fist in the middle
