Working on Overwatch has been the highlight of my career – Team 4 brings immense talent and passion to their work every day. Thank you to everyone at Blizzard who made this chapter of my career so incredible, and thank you to the Overwatch community too! I’ll still be around memeing in Twitter replies and posting dps Moira highlights.”
