A deaf Overwatch player has made it onto the top 500 leaderboard, peaking at position 482.
Streamer Maxim76 achieved the feat over the weekend. With a skill rating in the region of 4,000, he’s already a very talented player, but breaking into the top 500 is a triumph for anyone in the Overwatch community.
Overwatch conveys much of its information via sound; there are voice lines for practically every situation, and each of the game’s characters has unique sound effects for their movement and weaponry in order to aid players assess the battlefield situation. Being able to be counted among the world’s best Overwatch players while not having any of this information is quite a feat.
