If he just stayed as a humble teacher basically he couldbe been great. Telling people what to work on to improve but instead he gained power and then well scaled it up. As i said its like seeing that africa needs water and then overflowing it. Sure it solves something but it also causes pain

What exactly is The Overwatch in lore term? Cause from some of the Voicelines it seems like it’s some kind of professional league or competition

sterile wind
reaper is probably the strongest character in the verse besides sigma
iron plume
It's accurate because it literally happened
sterile wind
for the plot armor tho, for the story to continue winston couldnt just die
iron plume
Unkillable or enduring isn't the same thing as strongest
iron plume
"Plot armor" is applicable when something random happens to save a hero, or something that should've killed them doesn't

What is rein full lore?

Winston won

winston didnt win he just made reaper retreat tho

What is rein full lore?
Honor and Glory covers most of it

winston didnt win he just made reaper retreat tho
That's called a win

have u watched the other cinematic tho

Do that if you're interested in rein
sterile wind
reaper destroyed monkey and tracer got handed by widow
unique plinth
My favorite short is recall since my main is monkey guy winston
sterile wind
reaper scales higher than winston tho based off hax and ap he literally slams winston, winston just cant die because hes a central figure in the story
iron plume
Neither can reaper for the exact same reason
His "hax" still didn't let him win
just get away
unique plinth
Remember winston is not a monkey
sterile wind
not really reaper can die but winston is arguably the face of overwatch rn
unique plinth
He is a scientist
sterile wind
we could debate it in vc if u want magician just use vsbw and reaper slams
iron plume
use what
sterile wind
in the continuity it makes sense that winston would make reaper retreat, hes not stronger but he can make him retreat i get what u mean
vs battle wikis

and no, I've said everything I had to say

its like inverse battles and stuff

One of Winston's feats is defeating Reaper lol
sterile wind
if person A provides more feats displaying stronger capability, person B is weaker
iron plume
Don't know how much clearer can you get
sterile wind
thats not my point
sterile wind
yea idk whats supposed to mean
idk if he meant me or u
so making reaper retreat=stronger?
iron plume
Yes
Reaper had a mission and Winston prevented him from doing it, through his combat ability
if you want to call it plot armor go ahead but, for one
he didn't have to die to be defeated by reaper
sterile wind
i get what you mean, but reaper deepowered a bloostlusted full powered monkey, he couldve just shot him in the face but he took his time talking
sterile wind
thats true thats why im saying in a bloodlusted scenario without taking his time talking hes just gonna put a shell in wintsons head

No one really refers to Spain as Hispanic
It's pretty much merged at this point, just referring to Latin America

yknow it's weird to think that canonically, rein and Ana probably havent encountered one another yet
despite their interactions progressing in OW2
does he even know she's still alive in universe?
peak escarp
Mercy would have told him when she rejoins Overwatch
clear kestrel
that'd be a hell of a bombshell to have dropped on you second hand
I hope Ana sent him letters or something
"oh hey so captain Amari is still alive, and so is Jack Morrison... oh and Gabriel Reyes too apparently"
"Angela vhat zeh FUC-"
yknow the more I think about it
I think redemption IS possible for Reaper
peak escarp
is just one long attempt to avoid saying a goodbye.”
“How is he?” Ana asked.
“That’s a long story,” Jack said. “But I suppose we’ll
have time.”```it's been done for worse people in fiction
that said I don't think it'll be the typical "I'm a good guy now and everything's ok!" kind of redemption
more like
he wakes up to himself I guess
helps save the world
and lets himself be taken to justice
dreamy epoch
I can see it happening
but i don't really ever see him siding with anyone
unless it's absolutely necessary
clear kestrel
I could see him temporarily rejoining OW at some point
that way we'd get to play as the original strike team
that would be fun
like he goes rogue from Talon
but doesn't really have anywhere to go
so OW is his best option as far as people that MIGHT be willing to help him
in exchange for information probably
unlike Widow who despite the fact that the conditioning is wearing off
she's still a monster
Amelie Lacroix is dead
but Gabriel Reyes isn't
he's just dormant
something will wake him up eventually
maybe if or when Akandes plan goes to shit
peak escarp
if anyone should get a redemption arc it should be Hanzo
spare ginkgo
i never knew people were interested in overwatch lore
peak escarp
he actually WANTS redemption
clear kestrel
if anyone should get a redemption arc it should be Hanzo
I'm talking about the villains specifically
dense nebula
But yeah, imo Reaper is too far gone
Whatever Gabriel Reyes had left was gone after the Overwatch HQ blew up
clear kestrel
well if we're talking about that
actually whatever was left of Gabe died during code of violence
but I don't think that's the case personally
again I'm not saying it'll be a typical redemption
more like
he comes to his senses, realizes all the bad shit he's done
and tries to do some good
it wont make up for all he's done
peak escarp
none of the villains we have are particularly redeemable though
Sigma needs rescuing, not redemption
clear kestrel
then I guess redemption arc is the wrong term?
clear kestrel
what's the term I'm looking for
dense nebula
Like mah boi Akande
clear kestrel
I guess it'd just be a character arc
not necessarily a redemption
divergent topic but I like the headcanon that Sigma is aware he's getting on Moiras nerves with the shit he says and is doing it on purpose

Sigma and Junk Rat could be pretending to be mentally unstable
i mean hell junk rat is a world famous criminal known for multiple heists on some of the most powerful corporations
edgy relic
Why is Kiriko's last name Kamori when her parents are Toshiro and Asa Yamagami?
wind raft
i think the only reason why he didnt have higher a higher bounty then cassidy and ash is because they were on blackwatch
as for sigma sometimes his forgetfulness seems forced
peak escarp
Why is Kiriko's last name Kamori when her parents are Toshiro and Asa Yamagami?
Kamori is her maternal grandmother's name
edgy relic
Oh, okay.
peak escarp
she uses it to protect her mother and father from retribution
wind raft
especially during that one conversation with 76
edgy relic
she uses it to protect her mother and father from retribution
Thanks.
wind raft
so its very possible sigma is more there then he lets on
and junkrat could very well be an improvisational genius
meaning he is far better at making up a plan as he goes along rather then think anything ahead
which is why he cant really describe how he did all those heists
edgy relic
Kamori is her maternal grandmother's name
Do you have a source on that which I can add to this article? https://overwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Asa_Yamagami
The article currently says "It is possible that "Kamori" is Asa's maiden name."
peak escarp
Kiriko respects traditions to honor her grandmother, who gave her last name to hide and protect her. But she recognizes the need to change, adapt, and progress, just like her mother. As Kiriko would say, "You can't change the world by following all the rules.”
bottom of the article
we know that this is Asa's mother, since Asa's letter mentions how she chose not to follow the path of her mother as a shrine keeper
edgy relic
Thanks!

Don’t forget, Junkrat is actually really smart
He’s a lot like Joker from DC
Jameson is way smarter than he lets on
Let’s hope the new writing teams knows that
wind raft
like i said i think a lot of his intelligence comes from adapting
he doesnt think ahead or plan he just makes things up as he goes
which is why he cant really describe his heists
oh also it seems like a lot of people in universe forget that all junkers are basically engineers
all of their weapons are hand made
and junk rat made a remote controlled explosive tier
so that means he knows how to make wire less signal based technology out of scrap
in fact all three of the junker heroes have something very interesting about them
road hog is very famous among the junkers and junker queen somehow manages to avoid leaving technological footprints even sombra couldnt find ANYTHING about her
which btw is something even sombra herself cant do she eventually got discovered
tropic garnet
All of the Junker characters tech is basically just 40k ork tech..
wind raft
yea but if you gave junkers some high end tech who knows what they could make
tropic garnet
In 40k orkz make impossible space ships that make no sense and they function basically off of "magic"
wind raft
kinda like road hogs shotgun thats able to fire scrap at the speed of a bullet
like i have no idea how that even works
tropic garnet
kiriko and the shimada brothers probably use magic now. Sigma's like a weird psychic Hog's probably just some sort of similarly strange explanation.
wind raft
and then there is zen who could figure out how his powers works but chooses not too
tropic garnet
He probably know just doesn't want to tell mercy.

And regens health like crazy and can pull a gigantic german man in power armor with a turbine in suit with one hand.

“Her abilities are baked into her cybernetic body that allows her to execute her objectives,” explains Moyer. “Sojourn has had a lot of cybernetic upgrades in her life, starting out of necessity in her childhood. Eventually she started opting-in for cybernetic upgrades when she was in the military.” Sojourn chose these abilities to become the most effective fighter she could be— a stark contrast to her fellow Hero, Genji, who was forced to take his cybernetic body. Her cybernetic body and abilities are a means to an end, but only her objective matters.

She’s Cole’s enemy. And he’s apart of Overwatch

So that makes her an enemy of Overwatch. Especially since she runs the Deadlock Gang, who Overwatch dealt with

it was implied in Hero of Numbani

i totally expect that they give orisa and doomfist their own cinematic fight

Also just a fun thought, IF Mauga is the next hero. I think I know who could voice him. I want Dwayne Johnson, but since I doubt a video game company can afford him, I’ll say Kevin Michael Richardson instead

worthy rose
I mean just so we can say Jabba the Hutt also voices Mauga

peak escarp
16/35 VAs are not American ... almost half

Regardless, Richardson has literally voiced countless characters. Many of which you wouldn’t have even guessed it was him
peak escarp
that's no excuse for not at least looking for an actor of the appropriate nationality
worthy rose
or maybe just
an actual pacific islander VA
sure there are plenty out there
dense nebula
Like Gibraltar from Apex
Have him do a deeper, more antagonistic voice
And you’ve got a pretty dope Mauga voice
past copper
You’d need a Samoan voice actor
If you want someone of Mauga’s nationality to voice him
dense nebula
Yeah, Branscombe Richmond is just a Native Hawaiian
peak escarp
we don't know if Mauga is Samoan yet
past copper
His name is Samoan for mountain
alpine pawn
so a tank?
dense nebula
Says he’s Native Hawaiian
past copper
Exactly
peak escarp
Brigitte is a French name
past copper
His name is literally confirmed to be a Samoan name meaning mountain. That’s all we know. But based on that, I think it’s safe to say he’s possibly from one of the Hawaiian islands
dense nebula
I think you mean Polynesian islands
The Hawaiian islands are the islands that make up Hawaii
past copper
It depends. We don’t even know if he’s the new tank or not. We might all be wrong
dense nebula
Samoa is Polynesian but it’s not Hawaiian
past copper
The only evidence is that it’s a person we’ve seen and male
peak escarp
it could be Sanjay
past copper
I really think only maybe 3 characters could be the new tank. Mauga, possibly the leader of Null Sector, or someone we’re forgetting
peak escarp
Hamid Faisal
past copper
They said seen before
peak escarp
he's been "seen"
dense nebula
I wonder if Hamid is secretly an Omnic and uses a human name to conceal that he’s an Omnic
But I’d be fine with a human Hamid
past copper
The only person we know for sure to be a tank is Mauga based on what we’ve read
But given some people might use mechs, that standard could change. After all, D.Va is a tank until her mech is destroyed
And Hammond is just a hamster in a mech of his own
dense nebula
All I know is Lynx is one of the last heroes I want
peak escarp
Sanjay could be a tank with hard light armor
dense nebula
Just cause I find every other hero options to be way more interesting
past copper
The only other possibility is Meri, but I doubt we’d see another Junker hero added right now
dense nebula
Like a hard light tank
And an Arabian Indiana Jones
Hamid is of Arabian origin
The name anyways
Faisal is also Arabic in origin
So at the very least Hamid is from the Middle East in some way
past copper
Regardless, I doubt the NS leader probably will be a hero until after PvE is added and while Sanjay isn’t an impossibility, he doesn’t strike me as a fighter. I wonder
Maybe this guy? Doubtful, but anyone’s guess is as good
dense nebula
A tank that uses hard light constructs to fight sounds neat

Maybe this guy? Doubtful, but anyone’s guess is as good

Anyway, I think Mauga’s the only real tank possibly we have and I say that for several reasons. 1) we need another Talon hero because they’re all interesting villains. 2) His kit is clearly for a tank. 3) I think we can get more from his character as a hero then someone we’ve never seen fight before
Of course, they could potentially change up his kit from what we know he has. Which is a barrier and mini-guns. I don’t remember if he had anything else
peak escarp
I expect it to change

Did kiriko retcon the whole, no magic thing?
peak escarp
dual miniguns and a shield is a bit much
depends if Spirit is magic or not
the devs might not think it is
past copper
dual miniguns *and* a shield is a bit much
They would probably only make it one mini-gun and possibly take away the barrier. The devs wouldn’t want an op tank Bastion from the launch of OW1
Plus, Talon Heavy Assault concept looks like they’re only getting one mini-gun now. So Mauga would too
worthy rose
well, mauga had parts of sigmas kit at one point; probably his shield if i were to guess
past copper
Hmm. What if his ult was like a barriered rush where enemies in his path end up killed or lose half health? Too much like Rein charge and Queen rampage?
rustic skiff
Did kiriko retcon the whole, no magic thing?
As far as I can tell, Definitely yes
past copper
Because I remember Talon Heavy Assaults could charge at you and your team
rustic skiff
Kiriko really isn’t explainable by science
Everything from her backstory to how she uses it is unique
peak escarp
I hope Mauga gets the Heavy's swipe attack, something that does damage and knocks enemies back
rustic skiff
She is either a Genetically engineered person with some type of control over molecules or she uses magic
worthy rose
we need more unique melee attacks
rustic skiff
Because nothing about her makes sense as science
I think we could get meka some time next year

Another kinda ult Mauga could get is fire his mini-gun(s) toward the sky and rain down bullets from above. Wouldn’t be the first ult to use something like that

meka support would be awesome

You're awesome @peak escarp
sharp trench
what do you mean?
by not having open glass and openings in the cockpit of mechs
sharp trench
let me be more specific then
if MEKA’s designers and engineers were more competent
truly an excellent idea
limpid agate
I still dont get what you mean
sharp trench
by that I mean
why in the fuck would they have exposed body parts and controls in a mech meant to fight in close quarters against swathes of bots
clear kestrel
because the mechs werent originally designed with pilots in mind
sharp trench
why would they be designed with exposed controls or anything in the first place
sharp trench
yeah but they could’ve at least made it not a death trap if defense matrix isn’t up and it takes a hit
hit the controls with a beam or explosive and that pilot’s entire forearm is gone
they couldve at least did a more thorough redesign
if they had the time to carve out mech systems, a HUD, external controls
etc
an internal pod without a huge glass dome at least wouldve been so much better
i get its for gameplay reasons but like
So much of it is just a bad idea
sharp trench
if there wasnt plot armor the bots would’ve probably learned to use chemical weapons and just kill the pilots or incapacitate them with that
sharp trench
they arent with the proper context; the mechs are (probably) extremely expensive pieces of high tech equipment
why not at least enclose the entire cockpit so it’s not so liable
limpid agate
The reason jets are fully enclosed isnt for armor. Its because of the speed. Not to stop bullets.
Most military vehicles are open air
And Overwatch designers based the military vehicles off military vehicles that exist
sharp trench
Most military vehicles are open air
they aren’t with huge glass cockpits that end up as huge liabilities at the proper situation it is at
limpid agate
Fictional and otherwise
sharp trench
mechs should be enclosed with proper NBC protection like most ground vehicles are
especially in the position mechs are utilized in
limpid agate
No one knows what NBC protection means
sharp trench
internal protection against biological or nuclear weapons*
for example gas attacks
or just any harmful fumes in the air really
fierce trail
Is Echo sentient, or just a fancy robot?
clear kestrel

Is Echo sentient, or just a fancy robot?
Sentient and a fancy robot. Designed by Mina Liao, who helped design the Omniums

What's an Omnium

Factory that created Omnics
sharp trench
What's an Omnium
a factory that produces a shit load of onnics
probably has mines in itself too for the actual construction materials

What’s the story behind road hog
he was one of the farmers living in the outback near the omnium when the Australian decided to give the land to the omnics as part of peace treaties - angry at being displaced, Roadhog and some others formed the Australian Liberation Front and fought back against the omnics, sabotaging the omnium and causing a meltdown that irradiated the area
he worked as an enforcer in Junkertown before being hired as Junkrat's bodyguard and getting exiled from Junkertown
primal minnow
sigmas lore was so crazy good overwatch stopped expanding on it 3 years after he dropped

The lore is just about the only thing they continued to release after announcing OW2

I'm pretty sure Junkrat and Roadhog were a part of Overwatch before they disbanded. In cinematics you can see them with the rest of the Overwatch line up, at least Junkrat. He's even wearing a suit in some of them.

So is Doomfist’s BoO no longer Numbani?
Cause I know dialogue is not much to go on due to it not technically being canon, but one interaction hints that Orisa beat Doomfist in a fight and made him retreat from Numbani

Doomfist seems to be operating out of Talon HQ in Rome now

yes she had a hand in making them the way they are
although not exclusively

I'm still upset that we can't run a full Talon comp. We're missing a Talon support (No, Bap in his Talon outfit doesn't count)
peak escarp
maybe we'll get one in the future
mild umbra
Has there been official/forum post word about Kiriko apparently being magic? Is the writer guy that said there's no magic in Overwatch just no longer with Blizzard?
peak escarp
there's 2 options
either the "no magic" rule is retconned, or the devs view "spirit" and "magic" as separate things
mild umbra
The second one honestly just kinda seems ridiculous since IIRC the original "no magic" post was in response to somebody asking about Dragonstrike, right? Be weird if they're not the same as Kiriko's Fox Spirit. It's likelier to be the first. It bothers me that they just suddenly retconned something we've known for so long but I suppose it's not the end of the world. Makes me feel like they've lost the plot a bit, though.
peak escarp
it's not like "no magic" was widely known

The Underwater Omnium is a theory I loved. Been speculating its tied to the Gwisin

But Archives 2021 had no relation to the lore
