Overwatch 2 strives to be a space that is fun and safe for all players of all backgrounds. Whether they are queer or an ally, many players in our community have made Overwatch 2 their game a place where they can express themselves authentically. We had the chance to talk with content creator Deshaawnn to find out why Overwatch 2 is his go-to game and positive place for him.
Hello Deshaawnn! Would you please introduce yourself and which heroes do you like to play?
Deshaawn: Hello, my name is Deshaawnn. I’m a cozy / slightly chaotic queer streamer in the Overwatch community. I’ve been streaming since 2018 and honestly, I just love shining love and positivity into people’s lives. That’s what I enjoy about this most of all.
My favorite hero to play? I am a diehard Support main. I love Support. I play Kiriko, Lucio, and Moira. Kiriko is my girl, I love her.
Why do you like to play Overwatch 2?
Deshaawnn: Overwatch is just that kind of safe homey game for me, if that makes sense. The comfort you feel, when you show up at your house and you have the comfort feel, it’s kinda how I feel about when I play Overwatch, you know? It’s a game where I can feel I can be whoever I am without having to mask myself as much and also be able to play competitively. I like to play ranked. I am a ranked sweat. So, I love to be able to play Competitive but also be who I am. That’s what I enjoy the most about playing Overwatch.
What is it about Support that motivates you to play that role more than any other?
Deshaawnn: I love the challenge of keeping my team alive and making sure they are all good, while also being able to help do damage, you know what I mean? I love it. It keeps my brain busy, for sure, because I love making sure that I am always doing something to help the team. I get the most satisfaction from making sure my teammates are staying alive.
For anyone who is new to Overwatch 2, what’s the one tip that you always tell your viewers and followers?
Deshaawnn: I love to tell people
