The Overwatch community has had plenty of memes over the years, ranging from High Noon jokes about Cassidy to nods to Genji’s constant need for healing. Now, the latest Overwatch trend sees players poking fun at their teammates.
Similar to Overwatch’s silly tier list memes, the lists of teammate excuses have quickly spread across the game’s subreddit. Each post looks at a specific role in the game, with the image showing the heroes in that category and then the go-to excuses those that play them have. With several characters made fun of through these memes, nobody is safe from being called out. Considering that all Overwatch players have likely heard one of the excuses before, the memes should prove to be relatable.

Classic lines like “you wouldn’t hold still” and “the tank is my priority” were seen, as were others like “I find you irritating.” Unsurprisingly, the post took off, getting over 10,000 upvotes from members of the Overwatch fan base. Overall, the comments were a mix of Support healers saying that many of the excuses are valid and other roles getting enjoyment out of the meme.
