what if tony soprano was a character in overwatch?

A lot of times in games writing, you’ll have to take characters that already exist and apply them to specific game contexts. Whether that’s Spider-man in a fighting game, or an original character who needs a dozen barks, I wanted to prove I’m able to utilize this skill. I took Tony Soprano, from the popular HBO series The Sopranos, and reimagined his personality as a character in Blizzard’s popular hero-shooter Overwatch.

All due respect, you got no idea what it’s like to be number one.
