Overwatch's players are now well into the millions, and for good reason too. With innovative gameplay and a pretty cool set of skills and attacks per character, Overwatch is a game that seems designed to make players addicted. So far, the game is succeeding in this aspect.

One of the best things about Overwatch is the utilization of the game's heroes, each with a different skill set and techniques that give players an edge on the game's intense battlefields. As much as the heroes all have their advantages, however, there are still three characters that players have so far dubbed as being far too powerful.

Here are the three biggest overpowered characters in Overwatch so far.

Bastion

This hero actually made news prior to the game's actual release due to beta testers complaining that the character is far too overpowered. Despite these observations, Blizzard did not nerf the character, keeping everything, from his self-healing to his OP turret mode and his multi-kill attacks, intact. Simply put, Bastion just has far too many direct counters for the attacks of other heroes in the game. Oh, and the fact that he usually hogs the Play of the Game is yet another sign of his excessive power.

Lucio

Though this hero is a support character at his core, he is a bit OP when it comes to his healing abilities. Currently, Overwatch features three healers, Mercy and Zenyatta. Mercy has to move around constantly to heal teammates directly, and Zenyatta has to keep his allies in sight to heal them. On the other hand, Lucio heals just by being there. For missions such as payload delivery, this hero's worry-free healing abilities have spelled victories in countless matches. In all honesty, it would not be surprising at all if Lucio's healing gets toned down in future updates.

McCree

What's particularly interesting about McCree is the fact that has already been nerfed by Blizzard a while back. Despite this, however, he is still a nightmare to face in single combat. Those who were unfortunate enough to get hit by his flashbang/fan the hammer combo could attest to this. In his current iteration, his powerful attacks are strong enough to mow down anybody in his way, even characters with massive defense capabilities such as Reinhardt. This issue has been brought up by players of the game, and it would be no surprise if this OP duelist gets nerfed by Blizzard yet again in the near future.
