A South Korean hacker decided to have some fun with Overwatch by playing an unlikely hero: Junkrat's RIP-Tire.​

​​Shin "Alpha" Jae-hyeon streamed a game of competitive Overwatch and noticed one of his teammates was a hacker. In the attacking spawn room of Junkertown, the hacker initially was a Training Bot -- only seen in the game's Practice Range. Alpha then saw the hacker was none other than Junkrat's RIP-Tire -- which is only "playable" when using Junkrat's ultimate.





The hacker even leaves spawn as the RIP-Tire, as the player is seen speeding ahead of the team once the doors open.





Later in the game, the player switched to a newer face: ​Talon's Heavy Assault. The Heavy Assault is not a playable character even within the ​Overwatch Retribution event, which means there was some serious hacking involved.





It is unlikely Blizzard will ever bring the RIP-Tire in as a playable character in the future, but this gives us an interesting look of what it would be like if it ever was!
