Overwatch Summer Games 2018 End Date
It feels like forever ago since Overwatch took the world by storm all the way back in 2016. The Summer Games event of that year was the very first event that Blizzard ever ran for their new hero shooter, and the Summer Games event returned for the third year in a row in 2018, having started back on August 9.
You'll get a kick out of this!

As everyone who's been playing Overwatch knows by now, events don't stick around forever. The Summer Games event for Overwatch in 2018 wrapped up back on August 30. If past trends are anything to go by, then we should have to wait until next summer before the event returns.
Overwatch Ranked Lucio Ball
Remember Lucio Ball from the Summer Games 2016 event? It returned with a few new tweaks in the Summer Games 2017 event, namely that each Lucio player could no longer knock other players away, and Ultimates now increase Lucio's Boop speed, instead of pulling the ball towards the player using the Ultimate, like it used to.
