Zenyatta debuted with Blizzard's Overwatch in 2016 as an omnic monk and support hero who heals with the Orb of Harmony and weakens enemies with the Orb of Discord. Calling a character OP, short for overpowered, is long-standing gaming slang for a hero who feels too strong after a patch or in the right hands. Clips pairing Zenyatta with that label spread through highlight reels and soundboards because a peaceful healer dominating a fight is an easy, recognisable joke that still fits modern Overwatch 2 edits.
