Hello, gamers of Hive. I hope you all are doing well.

Today, I will share a battle that I played recently and absolutely dominated the field with a character that most players don't use. This was a ranked game in this new season of Overwatch 2 where we finally have the hero-banning system. No more annoying and sudden switches to characters that some may consider as a counter.
Without further ado, let's begin!
The Choose And Ban Phase
\
As a tank, I prefer Sigma. I didn't know which map we would be playing in but this character offers survivability and versatile abilities.
\
For the banning phase, the three annoying characters would be Reaper, Sombra, and Mercy. You see, my survivability helps me retain HP, hence I don't need Mercy. So, if I could get Mercy banned, their healing count would decrease. Sombra is a highly annoying character and could mess up my perfectly timed ultimate and Reaper is the perfect counter for most tanks, including the one I selected. Those are my choices.
\
Somehow, I got both Sombra and Mercy banned. They banned Zarya and Widowmaker. A good exchange IMO even though I main Zarya.
The Map and Rank
\
The map is at Junkertown and I recognised no players here. The rank is from Gold V to Gold II. I hoped for good healers in ranked games because you would suffer the entire game if they were bad.
\
The first round ended with 2 minutes left on the clock and I was leading the lobby in all aspects: kills, low death counts, damage done, and damage mitigated. My weapon accuracy was a tad bit higher than half and direct hit accuracy was higher than 1/3rd which was very good for my standard XD.
\
They couldn't get past the second push location, so the round ended shortly. I had 21 kills and a death count of 4, and my overall stats rose by over 27k,
By the end of the round, I led the lobby with a staggering 50k stats and 43 kills.
Play of The Game
\
Unsurprisingly, I was given the POTG because of my kill streak that ended with an Ultimate move in the first round, in the third phase near their base.
