jaunty lion
#

isnt his whole thing that he doesnt want omnics to be killed??

dense nebula
#

He wants omnics to have a better life

#

No matter the cost

worthy rose
#

He cares about his other omnic brothers and sisters
idk why he'd order a kill on an omnic
let alone a SHAMBALI, whom he was apart of

dense nebula
#

What part of

#

NO MATTER THE COST

worthy rose
#

also is that mondatta behind him?

peak escarp
#

yes

worthy rose
#

so yeah
a omnic
who was a shambali
and he was a student directly under him from the looks of it

#

doesn't quite add up to me

dense nebula
#

Clearly he left for a reason

#

Or he was kicked out

peak escarp
#

he left because the Shambali message wasn't getting through

dense nebula
#

Further wanting him to have revenge

peak escarp
#

preaching from the temples wasn't working

dense nebula
#

Sometimes instead of people coming to God

peak escarp
#

it's why Zenyatta left too, except Zenyatta didn't choose violence

dense nebula
#

** You gotta bring God to the people**

#

DEUS VULT

worthy rose
#

also i'm preeeeety sure Doomfist probably called for the death of Mondatta
unless he was in helix when that happened?-
at the same time maybe he had a way to get orders through?-

#

or he had it all pre-meditated

opaque tundra
#

Ramattra is SO cool I love this direction so much

opaque tundra
#

Mondatta Ramattra Zenyatta. As soon as I heard his name before the reveal I knew he was shambali

worthy rose
#

huh I didn't notice that before

opaque tundra
#

I also noticed that ramattra and ow2 zen have similar designs

worthy rose
#

I mean alot of omnics share similar design elements

#

same type of robot more or less

opaque tundra
#

I don’t have images on my tablet but they both have similar tops as well as short sleeves

split granite
#

RAMMATRA

opaque tundra
#

The weird wire straps around Zen’s pants is similar to Ramattra’s hair

split granite
#

NO WAY

#

HES SO COOL

worthy rose
#

What

#

Where

#

Tank revealed?

opaque tundra
#

Overwatch league grand finals revealed his origin story

worthy rose
#

up on youtube

#

really cool character
can't wait to grind 55 BP levels just to use him

#

Time stamp?

opaque tundra
#

I have no idea I didn’t see it live

peak escarp
opaque tundra
#

He has a really good design. Despite not having facial features, he looks angry

sullen raptor
#

Well i thought we gonna get sojourns

grand wedge
#

Finally, our Dark omnic has a name, and a backstory, and will be playable, after 3 years and a half!

peak escarp
#

I'm hyped

worthy rose
#

don't forget the battle pass

peak escarp
#

so hyped I forgot to finish reading the Sojourn novel

wise dragon
#

Since it’s confirmed that Omnics cannot be reproduced, I wonder what this means for heroes like Orisa and Echo who were made after the crisis

#

Is it possible to bring omnics back to life from their wrecked parts?

wise dragon
#

Orisa is a restored OR-15 model omnic

worthy rose
#

probably possible to rebuild their bodies
but restoring consciousness as they once were is up in the air

sullen raptor
wise dragon
#

Echo didn’t gain her own conscience until Dr. Liao’s conscience was given to her

sullen raptor
#

Its technically...new body

#

So.....new memory/ai

wise dragon
#

That’s a constant theme of Echo, that she’s trying to put together the pieces from Dr. Liao’s memory but can’t quite understand it herself

peak escarp
#

Echo is just mimicking her

#

she's not literally Dr. Liao in a robot body

wise dragon
#

Yeah she’s a separate conscience

sullen raptor
#

If echo died, she will receive another memory ai..but i guess thats what cass doing in reunion

#

The tiny flash disc thing

worthy rose
#

so if you saved an Omnics memory's and backed them up to the cloud
it could work

sullen raptor
#

I mean yeh

wise dragon
#

There are several servant omnics seen across the maps, maybe attempts to recreate them, since obviously it should be mechanically possible to do so, result in an omnic without free will

opaque tundra
#

From what I understand, civilian sentient omnics aren’t made anymore which means any possible open omniums only made the service bots

past copper
#

Damn. So that guy’s basically on a crusade for his people. Dark but awesome

dreamy epoch
#

he looks very interesting

#

and I like the fact that they actually said they're moving forward with the story of Overwatch 2 with ramattra as a character

#

sojourn is a past character, and kiriko JQ are pretty detached overall

past copper
#

Anyone else get Darth Vader vibes. Like he used to be a Jedi, but turned to the Dark Side to bring peace

dreamy epoch
#

he's antagonistic but he's not talon which is great imo

dense nebula
#

About that…..

past copper
#

I wouldn’t say that

dense nebula
alpine pawn
#

not really darth vader more dooku

dense nebula
#

He was last seen plotting with Doomfist

past copper
#

Did you forget who talked to him in Cairo

past copper
#

I’m no expert on extremist groups, but I doubt he could’ve built that many factory ships himself. Plus, he and Doomfist aim for a similar goal

#

Doomfist wants the strong to rise up from destruction and Ramattra wants his people to have a better life

#

Also, if this guy is the new tank then does that mean the story mode is coming alongside nicely for next year? Possibly in February?

iron plume
#

Depending on your interpretation, DF either wants humans to win by getting better, or like
keep the whole thing going forever, still with humanity getting better in the process

#

certainly not lose though

#

They'll have to come to blows eventually
Possibly sooner rather than later if Ramattra finds out who's responsible for Mondatta's death

past copper
#

I’ll say this, would not have expected the leader of Null Sector to have once been apart of the ||Shambali|| You really wouldn’t have believed it if you didn’t see it

iron plume
#

It wouldn't be my first thought but it makes sense

past copper
#

Surprised he’s the tank though. But then again we never saw what he looks like completely until now

#

I’m interested in what he can actually do and just what pieces of lore we’ll get with his voice lines

#

Also I fucking love his design

dreamy epoch
#

I mean talking with doomfist doesn't necessarily make him talon

#

since they literally just said he's the leader of null sector

#

like if doomfist is using him to achieve a goal then it would be more of a partnership than a "you work under my banner" thing

grand wedge
#

He said that the omnics are the last one he has... be he will need new troops. but.. they won't be omnics? maybe robots with no souls?

alpine pawn
#

no just robots

#

or maybe is cause omnic creation is ilegal

iron plume
#

or a lost technology

past copper
#

He’s literally working with Null Sector. Both of them are clearly just using each other to further their own goals. Which will more than likely clash

cedar shuttle
#

wasn't the guy who was talking to doomfist maxmillian?

iron plume
#

I guess it's as good a proof as any that the mooks aren't sentient

grand wedge
iron plume
#

I mean
it's not from that long ago lol

grand wedge
#

damn gwadaCry

cedar shuttle
grand wedge
#

Maximilian was getting arrested by OW when Doomfist was talking to Ramattra

iron plume
past copper
#

I’m more curious about his origin. We never saw his kind during the Omnic Crisis. So could he have been built before then?

#

After all, if you make robots, there is gonna be a country or two who make them for war. That’s a fact

peak escarp
#

we haven't seen much about the crisis

past copper
#

True, but these guys don’t seem to have built during the crisis. In fact, they actually look more advanced than the Bastion units

peak escarp
#

why not?

dense nebula
#

Why are you spoilering it?

#

The official video is out on YouTube

past copper
#

Hmm. Maybe the last of the generation before the end of the crisis

peak escarp
#

they're at least as advanced as the OR14s

past copper
past copper
#

The latter probably not seeing much action before the war ended

#

Honestly, you can break it down by Star Wars rules. Bastions were B1 Battle Droids. OR14s were B2 Super Battle Droids. And these guys were Commando Droids

peak escarp
#

in the Sojourn novel, Bastions, OR14s and Titans are all used at the same time

#

I don't think there's a linear progression between them

sharp trench
#

they're more "doctrinal" units if that makes sense

past copper
#

It depends on how advanced omniums were getting. These guys were probably a new kind of unit to match the human enemy better. Faster, stronger, smarter. It’s scary but possible

sharp trench
#

OR14s are heavy units, Bastions are light/medium units

peak escarp
#

anyway, there's nothing saying that Rama's unit type wasn't built during the crisis

#

they're just beefier versions of the civilian model

past copper
#

Anyone else think they were possibly called sentinel units? Because they could very well have been the units made to guard the factories

#

Couldn’t exactly trust that in the hands of mindless drones like bastions and OR14s right?

sharp trench
#

thats a bit counterintuitive

#

mindless drones should be the one defending the factory

#

no chance of abandoning post out of intelligence

past copper
#

Mindless drones don’t think before they shoot. They could damage the factory trying to eliminate intruders

sharp trench
#

if the humans couldnt destroy the omniums i dont think these mindless drones could either

#

theres bound to be intruders anyway

past copper
#

They had to get inside the omniums to shut them down. The factories would need special units to guard them in the instance intruders could infiltrate it

peak escarp
#

in the novel they have Hunstman units defending them

past copper
#

That being said, there would still be bastion and OR14s maybe even a titan unit to guard it from outside

peak escarp
#

which are spiderlike

sharp trench
#

you can alternatively just outright destroy the omnium

#

but there's the problem of the irradiated omnium or whatever

past copper
sharp trench
#

you probably can

#

the problem is the aftereffects

past copper
#

No. You can’t. Not unless you want a Chernobyl in various areas around the world

sharp trench
#

so you can destroy an omnium theoretically

sour venture
#

I have a question, in the widowmaker animated short, when she killed the robot, couldnt just they repair it later?

past copper
#

AI is unique so probably not

sharp trench
sour venture
#

In the future they could have a back up for the AI

sharp trench
#

they could have rebuilt him, but he's dead

#

said robot's brain being all of the information tech and that shit inside the head

#

assuming it's stored there

sour venture
#

Makes sense, i wonder if they could make a back up of it's brain too

sharp trench
#

they could

#

but for lore reasons theres not

sour venture
#

Ok

past copper
#

Omnics believe and treat their AI as though they’re actual souls. Rebuilding them would defeat the purpose of that belief

sour venture
#

Thanks for answering my question

alpine thunder
#

Fortnite lore better

sharp trench
#

but anyway they probably could have destroyed the omniums in theory if they wanted to, ignoring the side effects

past copper
sour venture
#

In terms of lore

#

Who would you think it's the most powerful overwatch character?

#

imo is Sigma definetively

digital forum
#

Yeah, sigma is raw power personified

past copper
#

Doomfist hands down. His fighting capabilities, intellectual mind, and financial resources make him dangerous on so many levels

sour venture
#

Doomfist is extremely brutal

#

I wish in the overwatch 2 story develop more about characters

#

Specially Sigma

#

He has a very interesting lore

alpine pawn
peak escarp
#

Doomfist barely makes the top 5

clear kestrel
#

I fucking adore Ramattras voice

#

gives me Davros vibes

dense birch
#

IKR

peak escarp
#

"They're creatures she's never seen before, these menacing monsters the omnium dreamed up in the dark. Tall, humanoid robots reinforced with superhuman strength and speed, heavily armed."

clear kestrel
#

it just occurred to me

#

I wonder what a playable null sector hero means for the PVE

#

not like
a defector or anything either it's the fucking leader of null sector

prisma silo
#

As hyped as I am, it’s not unlikely he’ll be disabled for the campaign

#

Unless there’s a hero story and a villain story, or something like that

ivory cove
#

Null-Sector are no longer that evil…but people are

Can’t wait for PVE WOOOW

clear kestrel
#

I could see him maybe taking part in any potential talon missions

#

since Talon and Null Sector are working together

ivory cove
#

So we finally understand conversation between him and Doomfist

#

Doom wants to help him to protect the Omnic race

#

By fighting

forest spoke
#

I'd say help isn't the correct word. He's gonna use him to start more fighting

clear kestrel
#

well with that in mind
my perspective has shifted a little

#

originally I thought the outcome would be Null Sector growing out of Akandes control

#

leading to an OW/Talon team up

#

but thinking back on it
I think it's gonna be the opposite
especially given the insight we've just been given on Ramattra as an individual

#

his goals being far more noble and understandable than Akandes

#

the more likely outcome in my eyes now is a ceasefire
and then both OW and Null Sector focusing on Talon

#

since they're the true threat

peak escarp
#

Akande/Talon is using Null Sector for their war

ivory garnet
#

yeah

#

i thought Null Sector was being manipulated

clear kestrel
#

exactly

#

which is why a ceasefire and a team up between OW and Null Sector is the most likely outcome for me

peak escarp
#

hm

clear kestrel
#

because whilst his methods are brutal and barbaric
Ramattra isn't
wrong

peak escarp
#

I don't think so

#

I can see Akande/Talon betraying them when they've outlived their usefulness though

clear kestrel
#

that's
what I'm saying

#

that leads to the team up

#

because Talon is the real threat at the end of the day

#

and I highly doubt this is gonna end with Null Sector just being wiped out either

peak escarp
#

I don't see them teaming up with Overwatch though

clear kestrel
#

I don't see why not

peak escarp
#

Null Sector might not get wiped out, but Ramattra will probably either be killed or arrested

#

effectively ending them

#

that's how the NS arc will end

clear kestrel
#

I don't see him being arrested or killed lol

#

he's not a super villain

#

he's a political figure head if anything

peak escarp
#

Null Sector isn't a nation or recognized people

#

it's a terrorist organization

ivory cove
#

So the main evil thing is OW universe is Talon now?! since i personally have more symphony for Null-Sector now

ivory cove
peak escarp
#

Overwatch tries to do good

#

that's the difference

ivory cove
peak escarp
#

and?

ivory cove
#

OW lore got a lot more darker that’s all

#

Can’t wait for PVE I hope it’s gotta be dark to

#

Ow world is so unique in many ways

ivory garnet
#

wouldnt say Talon is the “villain”

#

as

#

Doomslayer is fighting for a cause

#

it may have bad people tho

ivory cove
ivory garnet
#

my ba

#

bad

#

doomfist

ivory cove
#

Every soldier has a cause

#

Daaaaamn

#

That makes a lot of sense

#

I don’t want PVE to be rushed

peak escarp
#

Talon are definitely the villains

#

they're causing a war that will kill millions

ivory cove
#

Yeah talon fought for a while

#

And caused many civil wars

wise dragon
#

Doomfist wants a war to ravage both factions where only the strongest of mankind will survive and build the world anew, Ramattra wants to start a war for the survival of sentient Omnics. Ramattra needs resources, Doomfist has resources.

#

The goals align until either Ramattra gets too close to eliminating humanity or Ramattra finds out the truth about who ordered Mondatta’s assassination

peak escarp
#

I don't think he'd care that much about Mondatta's assassination

#

and it wasn't Doomfist that ordered it anyway

wise dragon
#

Considering he turned that way after his brethren died in front of his eyes in London, yeah he’d absolutely be pissed to find out Talon was involved

peak escarp
#

he disagreed with Mondatta's teaching and left the Shambali

#

he'd probably agree with assassinating Mondatta, since Mondatta wanted peace between humans and omnics

#

Ramattra knows there can be no peace, only war

wise dragon
#

He tried the path of peace, then figured out humans wouldn’t allow that

#

He was a monk by the teachings of the Shambali and the violence changed his views on the possibility of peace between races

peak escarp
#

he probably thought Mondatta was a fool

wise dragon
#

Probably, but also was probably clinging on to a bit of hope that perhaps humanity was changing

#

Then Mondatta dies and Null Sector prepares for war

#

There isn’t a case of Null Sector activities between the Uprising and the Zero Hour cinematic

#

Probably means something was holding Ramattra back from striking again, though it might just be as simple as not having the resources

#

Especially since Doomfist got arrested a few weeks after their meeting

peak escarp
#

this is what Jeff said about him back in 2019

#

he was biding his time, waiting for Doomfist to bust out to enact their plans

keen summit
#

Gwadeal our theories were coreect kinda wtf

wary grotto
#

which of the playable heroes are omnics? zenyatta, orisa, and the new tank surely are omnics.

what about echo and bastion? do we have other dps omnics?

wet spruce
#

I don't think so

grand wedge
#

And well done to you because your insight help me to wrap my head about some bits and it was amazing!

keen summit
#

So happy to have a significant character again

keen summit
#

Im buying bp for him no doubt

#

Btw nice detail in origin story: hes depicted as heroic

#

cuz for omnics, he is a hero

grand wedge
#

Yeah I like that the origin stories are told in the POV of the character

#

Gavin asked a very important question on Twitter

ivory garnet
#

by me

grand wedge
#

I kinda want to say Anubis? But I hav a feeling that maybe I need to read Sojourn novel before theorising about it

keen summit
#

probs omniums created him for war

#

but so far even his gameplay sounds cool, switching between forms

grand wedge
#

But who specifically…

#

Because we know that Anubis was the rogue AI that started the war

#

But… the temple of Anubis wasn’t an omnium? Just a containing place I think?

#

I need to get my hands on the novel - to have more insight on the crisis

keen summit
#

i think its finite how many are sentient

#

omnics can be created, but not sentient ones

keen summit
#

not all omnics are sentient

#

orisa actually has seen the iris from what we know but she is programmed to be like this

#

so ramattra saw the sentient ones slowly die out

#

btw i hope that monk look will be a skin

#

also note in the gameplay stills he does have all that purple energy

#

btw he already has merch

grand wedge
dense cliff
#

ramattra is such a cool character, for once im like actually hyped for this lore reveal. he brings such an intersting perspective to the null sector omnics

keen summit
#

gwadael

#

i noticed this with the staff and some poses

#

he also has an orb, he did in the trailer aswell where while meditating he had an orb

grand wedge
#

yeah

keen summit
#

but well its purple

grand wedge
#

I theorised about the different path Mondatta, Zenyatta, and Ramattra took each other

#

Mondatta was pure light. Ramattra pure chaos/darkness and Zen... is in between

#

the balance - the yin-yang

keen summit
#

some people say zen is good version and ram is bad version but i think its still ram is also part of him

#

keep in mind

#

ramattra wasnt sitting with the rest during meditation

#

sure u could say "shot compositioning" but you could make him sit in line and still have a good shot from different angle

keen summit
grand wedge
#

true

#

for a long time "discord" wasn't canon

#

but now...

#

how do they called the "energy" for Ramattra? "dissonnance"? i ned to check

keen summit
#

and once more as i said earlier yesterday, mondatta and ramattra both were activly trying to save omnics yet zen doesnt, he saves induviduals

grand wedge
#

yes

#

he make them reflect on themselves - finf their own path

#

Ram is forcing his own path to others

keen summit
#

which as a true monk is kinda the point

grand wedge
#

Mondatta was an utopist

keen summit
#

zen is probs the iris' harbringer at this point

#

mondatta believed in peacefull ways and spoke in a place where omnics were oppressed

grand wedge
#

If Zen doesn't transcend in lore - i'lll go feral

keen summit
#

Keep in mind mondatta was speaking as if its almost fixed

grand wedge
#

what is almost fixed?

keen summit
#

very calmly about how man and machine are the same while in a place were omnics were oppressed

#

just noticed while rewatching, look at those symbols

#

arent they... familiar

inland yoke
#

Ohh shit

keen summit
#

"before me i see the future, humans and omnics standing together, united by compassion." but in kings row there still was shit ton of oppression

grand wedge
#

that we have in purple too

keen summit
#

exactly

#

that was exactly why we knew that null sector had shambali too

grand wedge
#

yup

#

was part of the clues

#

someone pointed out the "eye" of Sombra in her origin story

keen summit
#

i was sad that zen never mentioned him tho

keen summit
grand wedge
#

Still a lot of thing to unfold with Aurora, the Iris, and so much more

#

Need to read Sojourn novel

#

This is pretty exciting, because it's a very important lore point - Ramattra have been closed to Zen & Mondatta, him being the Null Sector Leader... after 3 years and a half, it's the best move they could have pulled

#

and the plot will move foward

tepid gust
#

ight bro i just saw the origin vid

who tf is he

fresh hare
#

ok y'all, question: were omnics always finite and irreplaceable, or is that a retcon/lore change?

#

I like their choice of words for Ramattra as well, which are basically the 14 words that white supremacists use except swapped for omnics.

keen summit
wanton kraken
keen summit
#

The ones who were blessed with sentience cant be produced

wanton kraken
#

thats interesting

keen summit
#

So its not a retcon, tbh the sentient ones always seemed rare

fresh hare
#

Oh, so the sentient ones are finite, gotcha! Do we know how sentience first started in omnics? Was it random?

keen summit
#

We dont know the details

wanton kraken
#

Ahh okay, right, the iris

keen summit
#

Only that the iris is connected to it probs

#

As the iris is like a god to them

fresh hare
#

oh yeah Zen says "pass into the iris"

wanton kraken
#

The Iris is the subject of the Shambali faith. As preached by Tekhartha Mondatta prior to his assassination at the hands of Widowmaker, the Iris sees humans and machines as equals. The Shambali believe that all beings can ascend through the Iris and can be transformed into a higher state of being.

taken from https://overwatch-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Iris

#

I'd guess that omnics aren't sure either why they became sentient

wanton kraken
#

Just somethign to explain the unexplainable

fresh hare
#

I do wonder about Omnic naming schemes. Zenyatta and Mondatta are named after an album by The Police

wanton kraken
#

👀

#

that's kind of cool

#

Is Ramattra also named after an album?

dawn topaz
fresh hare
#

He's not named after an album. I am scouring song lyrics to find a possible connection.

wanton kraken
#

''I found this sick beat from the 90's, I'm going to name myself after it''

#

80's*

fresh hare
#

In sanskrit, "ramatra" means "dark defender"

wanton kraken
#

It's going to be really interesting lorewise to see his interactions with the others

#

Especially anyone involved in the war

fresh hare
#

I really want to see his interactions with Doomfist, Zenyatta and Bastion

wanton kraken
#

Y e s.

#

Ahh with Bastion that'll be nice

sterile mortar
#

I love bastion voicelines

wanton kraken
#

I wonder if it'll be a nice interaction or a ''Why are you with THEM'' because Bastion and Torbjörn are friends

fresh hare
#

oh yeah isn't Torb a wee bit racist towards omnics?

wanton kraken
#

Yeah, Zarya too

grand wedge
#

they were. Not anymore?

#

At least, Torb isn't. Zarya is not quite there yet

Orisa loves humans and Efi

Also unlike Ramatraa who is part of a finite generation

She was born a year ago

stiff socket
#

Hmm alright

stiff socket
#

who do you think are the top 5 strongest heroes in lore?

limpid agate
#

The contender for #1 is Winston, Sigma, Orisa, or Sym

#

Doomfist and Genji are also contenders for top 5

stiff socket
#

Why is sym so powerful?

#

Is hardlight that strong

#

I think it’s called hardlight

limpid agate
#

She can build kilometers of structures and defy physics in no time at all

#

She's similar to the Green Lantern

desert yacht
#

isnt the iris more like a state of being

#

than a deity

limpid agate
#

Yes

desert yacht
#

or is it sorta a hybrid

#

of the two concepts

limpid agate
#

Its like Nirvana

desert yacht
#

just because he is the only one proven

#

sigma and sym have extreme potential

#

but it's all theory right now

#

we know they can do a lot but the extent is too unproven

limpid agate
#

Orisa is half proven half potential

desert yacht
#

agreed

#

i didnt know where to put her

limpid agate
#

She was half proven before all of her upgrades

#

I'm saying they are the contenders

desert yacht
#

she contends winston for my #1 spot

#

i would just separate winston and orisa from sym and sigma

limpid agate
#

Ramatraa is also an unknown I won't rate yet

#

Until we see what he is capable of or even potentially capable of

#

All we know is he gets bigger

#

And being big didn't matter

#

See: Rein, Zarya, Roadhog

limpid agate
#

Those 7 are the contenders for top 5

Either Winston or Orisa

I can’t believe it took 6 years to get a null sector hero

keen stump
clear kestrel
#

I'm really curious what his interactions with Widow are gonna be like

stiff socket
#

Sigma and Winston

#

Are the strongest characters I think

#

Sigma is just godlike because of his black holes

#

And Winston can make

#

Semi time machines

#

And can beat doomfist

There was concept art of him as a hero early as BlizzCon 2019

dawn topaz
limpid agate
#

You can blame the 3 years of no heroes for that. He would have come out in early 2021 if we didn't have that

dawn topaz
#

I'm suprised there wasn't a plotpoint of bastion having to gather intel from null sector by disguising himself as one of theirs

limpid agate
#

That's because Bastion hasnt done anything yet

dawn topaz
#

exactly

limpid agate
#

No I mean

#

It hasnt met anyone who would require that job done

#

It was just found and upgraded by Torb

dawn topaz
#

fair enough

#

Still wished he'd do more stuff

limpid agate
#

Null Sector also hasnt done anything since Torb took Bastion in

#

Until Zero Hour

#

Which is where OW2 starts

worthy rose
dawn topaz
#

💀

limpid agate
#

Bastion is confirmed to be in the campaign and implied to join Overwatch in Torb's stead

dawn topaz
#

He better be

#

Also I know he was upgraded

#

But like...was his entire body replaced?

paper gazelle
#

Don't think so

limpid agate
#

no

dawn topaz
#

OW2 bastion looks nothing like his original body

#

even his fingers are completely new

paper gazelle
#

Sorry but I beg to disagree to a certain extent

broken moat
#

ramattra looks really interesting

#

even if the game is iffy with the overpriced store and stuff they still have a talent for character design

fresh hare
#

Wait Reaper does not make the top 5? He can teleport, turn incorporeal at will, harness life essence from enemies, summon weapons and is a trained elite soldier on top.

broken moat
worthy rose
#

I think he's equal to like Reinhardt

#

So they can share a spot somewhere

#

Definitely not 1 though since Primal Rage Winston made him run away in the museum

broken moat
#

he is definitely better than rein in my opinion

#

rein is 63 or something

worthy rose
#

Reaper can't hurt him though

fresh hare
#

Also, the magic that the Japanese heroes use is hard to quantify. Hanzo can seemingly summon a weapon of mass destruction at will

worthy rose
#

Reinhardt tanks Bastion fire and tank rounds fine

#

Reaper has teleportation so Rein can't touch him though

fresh hare
#

Winston seems hard to quantify as well, as he seems to get vastly stronger whenever the lives of others are at stake.

broken moat
worthy rose
#

Yeah but his armor has tanked tank rounds fine

#

Reaper would be hard pressed to beat him

broken moat
worthy rose
#

Primal Rage Winston is stronger than both Reaper and Doomfist

broken moat
#

so his power definitely varies a lot

worthy rose
#

Since he beat them both

worthy rose
fresh hare
#

In that fight, Doomfist fought and defeated both Tracer and Genji seconds before, so it is safe to say he was weakened when facing down Winston.

mild fiber
#

That’s was after doom had already beaten genji and tracer at the same time

worthy rose
broken moat
#

he never looked like he was fatigued

#

plus genji and tracer never put a dent in him

fresh hare
worthy rose
#

I guess

#

But he wasn't panting or anything so I doubt it would change the outcome

broken moat
worthy rose
#

I doubt he was that tired

broken moat
#

i think doomfist lost because he underestimated winston's primal rage

worthy rose
#

I don't think Doomfist is the type to underestimate people

#

Winston is still goat powerwise

shadow marsh
#

I doubt Doomfist will lose if they both have a rematch

worthy rose
#

Nah he will

broken moat
shadow marsh
worthy rose
#

Primal Rage Winston has no sold grenades

fresh hare
#

He did punt Winston like 200 yards at the start of the fight.

worthy rose
#

Regular Winston is clearly weaker though

fresh hare
#

And he did not even bother putting on a shirt

worthy rose
#

Regular Winston got wrecked by Reaper. Primal Rage Winston no sold his attacks fine

fresh hare
#

From what I have seen, Primal Rage is not something Winston controls. He enters it when others are in danger.

worthy rose
#

Or when his glasses breaks

broken moat
worthy rose
#

Which is bound to happen let's be honest

broken moat
#

its when his teammates are in serious danger or when he is really losing a fight

fresh hare
#

"Fuck, I am American, that's another $500 down the drain..."

shadow marsh
#

Yeah Primal Rage Winston is inconsistent

#

Just remembered he activated it without being angry in the Recall short

worthy rose
#

Primal Rage Winston got few shotted by Reaper in Recall but in the museum he no sold his shit. His power fluctuates really

#

At high ends though Winston is unbeatable

#

Jobbing Winston sucks donkey nuts

broken moat
#

who do you think the most powerful character in overwatch is?

shadow marsh
#

The thing about Winston is he's still an animal

worthy rose
#

WINSTON

#

HES TOO OP

fresh hare
#

What do we know about Doomfist? Presumably, he is a regular person who works out, is a criminal mastermind and has cybernetics.

broken moat
shadow marsh
#

Isn't he like

#

The 3rd Doomfist

broken moat
#

but i think sigma is a runner up for most powerful

fresh hare
#

But he's just a dude, right? No superpowers, no Japanese magic, just training and some technology?

fresh hare
#

I think in terms of non-combat power, Sigma and Sym are the most powerful, followed by Mercy.

broken moat
#

they make him powerful but i think his true strength is how he learns

#

he is a smart cookie

fresh hare
#

I think his true power is his connections and planning

limpid agate
#

Yes, training and cybernetics.

#

Define non-combat power

broken moat
limpid agate
#

Not literally

#

We don't literally know what he does

#

They're really vague about it

#

It seems like he can manipulate gravity or singularities

#

But to repeat what was said earlier. The only contenders for the most powerful hero are Winston, Orisa, Sigma, and Symmetra.

#

Winston is the strongest physically and also a huge mary sue

fresh hare
#

"Non-combat power" as in, real world application of abilities to influence your environment.

E.g. Sym has hardlight construction which is really useful, Mercy has advantaged medical technology that can resurrect the dead, Sigma and Moira have their respective technology.

limpid agate
#

Orisa is the most durable physically and was plenty powerful before she was upgraded

#

Sigma is an enigma

fresh hare
#

Why do you rank Orisa that high?

limpid agate
#

And Symmetra's limits are never explored, but every piece of lore or story we get makes her seem even more unbalanced

broken moat
#

Symettra's hardlight is crazy

fresh hare
#

Do we know if Orisa is
A) sapient
B) Not dependent on external maintenance?

limpid agate
#

She is powerful physically (can destroy a bus by just standing in front of it, can handle Doomfist) and has flexible hard light tech. And that was before Efi upgraded her and before Lucio supplied better tools to upgrade her with

#

Yes Orisa is sapient

#

She is also dependant on Efi

#

She can't self repair like Bastion

fresh hare
#

Ah gotcha

limpid agate
#

This is Rez

#

Going by that description, the most powerful in non-combat power are Symmetra and Sombra.

fresh hare
#

Didn't she bring Reaper back from the dead, which is why he is the way he is?

limpid agate
#

No

#

That was never true

#

That was a shitty theory based on fake voice lines from 2016 that Blizzard has been actively debunking since

#

Reaper never died

fresh hare
#

I thought he has his superpowers cause he got mortally wounded by 76 and then experimental treatment.

limpid agate
#

No

#

Reaper was genetically altered in the Soldier Enhancement Program 30 years ago which gave him part of his powers

#

Moira amplified them when he recruited her into Blackwatch

#

And then even more after the Swiss HQ Incident

#

Code of Violence goes into more detail about Reaper's state

broken moat
#

i really though reaper was killed or mortally wounded at least

limpid agate
#

No

fresh hare
#

Yeah I thought the same

broken moat
#

even zenyatta has a voiceline talking about how he is wasting his second chance at life

fresh hare
#

TIL

The genetic manipulation is whats keeping him alive, and he was wounded

So basically, he had his powers from the soldier program already, which allowed him to survive Switzerland?

I am in awe at the size of this lad PogChimp

I guess "he blew up with soldier 76" isn't an incorrect way of phrasing it, but

Sometimes you want a more manageable hitbox

you saw how tactical he was in taking down tracer and genji

paper gazelle
broken moat

compared to his arms when meditating

desert yacht

he only goes for the head to head collision against winston if he thinks he can beat winston

#

he underestimated him and lost

#

instead of approaching the battle with winston from a better tactical standpoint

broken moat
#

though i could be wrong since his shoulders are being covered by some monkish garb

broken moat

he under estimated the primal rage

desert yacht
#

that would be the in universe reason anyways

fresh hare
#

tbf, would you take someone seriously who you just punted 200 yards?

desert yacht
#

the actual reason is that they needed doomfist to lose that fight for plot reasons

#

so he made an out of character decision

limpid agate
#

Winston is also a Mary Sue

desert yacht

that as well

#

Winston turns everyone into a jobber

but that is okay because he is winston

Either way

We have to wait and see how it works in the story

All we know is that he is an engineer and created the Nemesis form himself

dense nebula

I’m anticipating that he’s at least Orisa/Doomfist level strong

#

In lore

broken moat
#

he is the leader of null sector right?

He was designed to lead other omnics in battle, and in videogames, people lead from the front cause it's cooler

he has to be on par with doomfist

limpid agate
magic root
#

Why can't omnics create new omnics? They are sentient, they can acquire knowledge, why can't they make more of themselves?

#

Cause the new hero origin story implies that there is only one generation of omnics.

fresh hare
#

Only one generation from Ramattra's point of view

#

Orisa is younger and apparently a sentient omnic

limpid agate
#

Can't answer that

#

It goes against what we previously thought

#

I gotta reread some old Orisa story

#

I swear there was mention of the OR15s being made from the Nigerian Omnium

#

Originally put into service before the Omnic Crisis, the OR14 "Idina" line of security robots was built in Nigeria's massive manufacturing omnium. After the war, they were taken out of production, along with many of the other models used during the crisis. Twenty years later, Numbani revived and recommissioned the OR14 program to protect the city from external threats. These new OR15s were deployed for a short time before they were destroyed in an attack by Doomfist.

#

This was in her bio.

#

The word program implied that what was recomissioned was the project of building them in the omnium

#

Not the machines themselves

#

Hmm, I guess reading this now

#

They were built out of old unsold cars

#

So Orisa's shell would have been built decades ago, and their vague wording just didnt clear things up maybe?

#

I'll have to reread the novel

magic root
#

I see. Too much details which I can't process yet.

Overwatch said we have seen the new hero before. Where have we seen him?? Never seen him in my life

Storm Rising: https://bit.ly/2VOkcXh

#

At the end

#

Aaand its a dead link again

#

Oh that's my fault

#

Skimming through the novel

#

Its implied the OR14 and OR15 are two different things rather than being rebuilt from the OR14s

#

But its never explicitly stated

sharp trench
#

they’re probably similar bc the tooling in the Omniums was meant for OR14s, and the design process should be a lot easier than a whole new omnic

It’s Anubis who made the Ramattra line of robot btw ( at the surprise of no one)

I miss temple of Anubis

keen summit
#

imagine his interactions with the junkers

dense nebula
#

I like how Rama has a more Shepard look

#

Like a Moses type figure, whereas Zen is more singular, acting as a wandering teacher

#

It adds to the foil between the two

worthy rose
#

Ramattra split the red sea canon

dense nebula
#

Well he definitely split something

#

But yeah

#

To organize my thoughts

#

Ramattra is a Shepard leading his flock (the Omnics) in order to lead them to a better life. Whereas Zenyatta is a teacher who focuses mainly on a singular individual at a time (Genji) and improves them by helping them expand their world view

#

Ramattra believes in bettering his people by bringing war to those he believes wronged his kind, and Zenyatta takes a peaceful approach and gives all an opportunity to improve themselves through his teachings

How are they finite?

Ahh

#

Thanks

keen summit
#
  • im not sure if he means omnics in general are finite as in pve we saw more being made
#

he probs means his kind, so the sentient ones

magic root
#

So if all sentient omnics are killed, there won't be any more issues?

#

Since nobody would be sentient to rise up?

#

Or I guess there are human interests involved like doomfist

#

So the society will always be in war

#

We'll always keep needing heroes

#

The story will go on forever

drifting viper
#

New hero looks cool

#

His interactions with zenyatta will be interesting

#

And bastion

iron gorge
#

Is Ramattra's name based on a song or something?

#

Since Zenyatta and Mondatta are based off of an album of the Police

iron osprey
#

Yeah I guess sentient omnics are finite because omnics were never supposed to be sentient and it was an accident they don’t know how to replicate

keen summit
rotund ermine
#

Lmao

peak escarp
#

hmm

magic root
#

I was speaking hypothetically

peak escarp
#

everyone likes to discuss how Ramattra would react to Mondatta's death

#

I'd rather know how Ramattra would react to learning that Reaper is Gabriel Reyes, leader of Overwatch during the crisis and killer of millions of omnics

magic root
#

But why is widowmaker a bad guy? She's the victim.

peak escarp
#

she might be a victim, but she enjoys what she does

#

and does it willingly

magic root
#

That's cause she was brainwashed

peak escarp
#

not brainwashed

#

conditioned

magic root
#

It's the same

peak escarp
#

it's not

#

she's not being controlled and she still has free will

magic root
#

Conditioning is like gaslighting someone to believe something

peak escarp
#

more like psychologically torturing them

#

but yeah

magic root
#

Yeah that broke her

#

So you can't blame her

#

She's doing this cause she's broken, she's not herself

peak escarp
#

brainwashing makes someone believe a different ideology
conditioning makes someone adopt new behaviours to avoid punishment

magic root
#

Overwatch should try to help her, like they tried with Genji

#

Or tracer

peak escarp
#

even if they are able to reverse the conditioning, she still killed a lot of people

#

she'd be locked up, either in prison or some kind of rehab

magic root
#

Yeah, atonement. Then she can come back as an overwatch mercenary.

#

After redemption

peak escarp
#

she doesn't want redemption

magic root
#

Overwatch clearly has "at any cost", otherwise they would not experiment on genji just to take control of kanezaka

peak escarp
#

if they revert the conditioning, she'd go back to being Amelie

magic root
#

But the members were the same

peak escarp
#

new Overwatch doesn't have the resources for something like that

magic root
#

Mercy did it

peak escarp
#

old Overwatch had scientists

magic root
#

She's no better in that regard

peak escarp
#

Mercy only saved his life

#

she didn't make him a cyborg

magic root
#

Ah

#

But still I feel bad for her, (widow). She's got one of the saddest origin story. She deserves to find peace.

#

For the conditioning to work, she had had to have loved her husband that much.

#

Idk it's probably her for now.

Mei had some shocking stuff, but she was still herself.

I feel that Genji's was quite sad

I agree

magic root
#

Genji was on my mind

drifting viper
#

I think genji has the saddest origin story

Killed by his own brother

#

Hanzo and genji still found their peace

In knowing that they can see each other again.

It is shown in the ending of the animation

#

@peak escarp how prominent do you think Ramattra will be in both the lore and PvE?

peak escarp
#

very

dense nebula
#

Cause I’m already seeing a Shepard motif with him

#

What about Hamond? I mean, It's quite sad that Winston forgot about him.

peak escarp
#

he's our secondary antagonist, next to Doomfist

dense nebula
#

He is the perfect foil imo to Zen

peak escarp
#

I believe the devs said he'll appear in the PvE as a boss

#

maybe the final boss of the arc

dense nebula
#

I hope that Null Sector and Talon get some wins in the PvE

#

Cause I don’t like when the heroes steam roll everything

Since dr winston died

Why is reaper evil

Whats his motive

drifting viper
dense nebula
#

Whereas Jack is more “Wrong Side of Heaven”

#

Yes I stole that from FFDP

drifting viper
#

But why is he a villian

dense nebula
#

Because he’s a terrorist

drifting viper
#

I mean why is he a terrorist

#

Why did he choose to be one

dense nebula
#

Yes I’m aware of my contradiction

surreal knot
past copper
#

I think this is 100% legit. I’m in no position to think otherwise right now

#

Basically, seems like Ramattra is gonna be a mix of Bastion, Doomfist, and a little bit of Zenyatta

#

Also, I honestly didn’t notice it, but he actually gains a larger body somehow. Guess we’ll have to see how that ability works in game next month

dense nebula
#

It’s his shift ability

#

He enters a Jojo mode

past copper
#

Also we’ve got an emote and victory stance from what I can guess

dense nebula
#

If I had to guess, top right and bottom left are highlight intros

past copper
#

I rather like his meditation. Looks way cooler than Zen’s actually

dense nebula
#

Top left is either an emote or victory pose

past copper
#

I just figured top right was like gameplay being showed off but I guess it can be an intro too

#

Lol people are already being diverse over his ability countering Pharah and Echo yet haven’t seen it in action yet to judge

digital forum
#

Wait so why did the omnic crisis happened in the first place

#

The shambali and Aurora came after right?

peak escarp
#

yes they came after

#

we don't know why the crisis happened

#

even in-universe they don't know

#

Aurora was created before the crisis, but her transcendance happened after

half wedge
#

Anubis started the omnic crisis

peak escarp
#

probably

#

but we don't know for sure

half wedge
#

Pharah is guarding Anubis right?

peak escarp
#

yeah

half wedge
#

Read her origin story

fathom oxide
#

does anyone know how the omnics came into existence? Or is it still a mystery and they have a religion where they believe it’s the Iris that created them

peak escarp
#

the omnics were made by Omnica Corp

#

to serve as labourers

fathom oxide
#

So by humans then

peak escarp
#

yes

#

they don't believe the Iris created them

#

the Iris is a state of being, like Nirvana

fathom oxide
#

Oh that’s makes sense I thought the iris was thier god or something

dense nebula
#

Is it bad that I want Ramattra to have more religious connotations in his dialogue?

#

Given he’s already got the Shepard motif going on?

fathom oxide
#

wait what’s stopping omnics from making other omnics then? Why does Ramattra say there’s only one generation

peak escarp
#

because omnics were made in omniums

#

and all the omniums were either destroyed or are controlled by hostile forces

dusk trench
#

Really?

#

That explains his remark on how finite Omnics are

#

I never knew this beforehand I just thought they knew how to make each other

#

I wanted Mauga but I’m a sucker for playable Omnics

peak escarp
#

it's also possible he's referring to the sentient omnics, those who were active when Aurora transcended

#
