Flankers are some of the most enjoyable characters to play in Overwatch. From the quick takedowns to the unexpected ultimates, there are few things more satisfying than causing havoc at will and unseen by the opponent. Knowing you're causing them to scream, look out for you, and yes even causing them to rage quit, can put you on a power trip like few other things do. Here are the top 5 flankers in Overwatch.
5. Sombra
