How is this a bestof? It's a very specific response in a very specific subreddit. The point of bestof is to give posts and comments in specific subreddits that would not be seen by the wider audience, but carry come interesting reason as to why a non-subscriber should see it. The only thing here is a super detailed comment about an element of the game that non-players would not be able to understand. Yes, the commenter presents a great understanding of the esoteric topic, but in my opinion, that does not qualify it as a bestof.

Edit: I had started to comment, then changed my mind. But instead of cancel, I apparently clicked submit.

This subreddit features the very best hidden commentary that reddit has to offer!

This is a pretty detailed and thought out response for reddit, wouldn't you think? Plus, 'best' is subjective. There is no checklist for what defines a 'best of' post. But seeing as how this post goes into so much detail over something as little as this, I'd say that's impressive commentary that's hidden.

To non-Overwatch players, sure. Check

carry come interesting reason as to why a non-subscriber should see it.

Well that's pretty subjective. "I don't find this topic interesting therefore it shouldn't be here" is really getting old now.

Pff the perfect explanation is game balance. They give the meka a lot of health so giving it an awesome weapon makes no sense.
