Overwatch's Most Popular Hero in 2021

The popular hero 2021 Overwatch and the eighth season that will begin will be the topic of discussion on the PS4 game Overwatch at Kabargames at the end of 2021. The discussion between the two occurs because there are facts that show that there are Overwatch heroes who stand out from the others for searches on the Google search engine for 2021, namely McCree and Hanzo.

The end of 2021 also marks the beginning of a new Xbox game Overwatch, of course, not only the turn of the year to 2021. At the end of this year, the seventh competitive season of Overwatch has ended and the eighth competitive season will soon begin.

Overwatch’s 8th Competitive Season

The first discussion of the two Top Hero topics of 2021 and the eighth season of Overwatch will begin with the competitive season of Overwatch. The eighth competitive season will begin on December 31, 2021. Player progress in season seven was stopped on December 28, 2021 when the competitive queue closed.

When Overwatch’s eighth competitive season begins, along with it there will be several changes that will affect how skill ratings work. Scott Mercer, the lead designer of overclocking for Overwatch, outlined these adjustments in early December 2021.

Players of the Overwatch FPS game can expect to be matched with players who have a similar SR. This expectation will arise, the reason is because Blizzard, through adjustments has limited the maximum SR difference between the player who has the highest SR on the team and the player who has the lowest SR on the same team.

Simply put, later there will be only a slight SR gap between one team and another in the Overwatch FPS game match. Mercer initially noted that the changes would take effect on January 2, 2021 after the Blizzard holiday ended. But with the eighth season kicking off tomorrow, it’s possible that changes are imminent.

In the adjustments that will be made by Mercer later, players with diamond tier and above will also be able to see the change in SR achieved or reduced. The personal SR system in Overwatch has been controversial in the past, as Blizzard hasn’t revealed exactly how it works. Personal SR will be turned off for diamond tier players and above.

Hero McCree and Hanzo

The Overwatch heroes that most fans want to see as a couple are McCree and Hanzo, according to new information revealed by Google in late December. Google year-end information shows that “McHanzo” was the most popular search term for Overwatch in 2021. This means that McCree and Hanzo are the two heroes that most Overwatch players have been searching for.

Hero McHanzo managed to beat the search for Pharmercy heroes that led to Pharah and Mercy heroes and Reaper76 which led to Reaper and Soldier: 76 heroes throughout 2021 to come out as the top of the Overwatch hero keyword. Other popular Overwatch pairs on the quest include the Widowtracer hero leading to Widowmaker and Tracer, and the Roadrat hero leading to Roadhog and Junkrat.

When Google’s data is dug deeper, Google Trends will show users that McHanzo’s hero is very popular in Finland, with search interest rankings of 100 out of 100 possibilities. Then followed by Canada which is in second place with a search interest of 79 out of 100 possibilities.
