i dont see Widowmaker as a villain necessarily, she was taken advantage of being brainwashed into forgetting her past. But I doubt that its permanent as she slowly recollects herself
she could def be a candidate of leaving Talon if she is able to. Due to her brainwashing possibly going away
i wonder if junkertown knows wrecking ball is a hamster arleady?
yes
i would sell my soul to see a complete 180 on widowmaker
the queen does know
ohh right
oh my gosh how have i not seen that ?
what did junkrat do to get kicked out?
being a dumbass
per usual ig
sigma 1
true lol
I love junkrats interaction with moira
Being junkrat
What is it
Roadhog is kinda sad ngl, continually suffering from radiation poisoning
Junkrat: Are you looking for a new lab assistant? I'm great with chemicals!
Moira: Certainly. We'll begin by testing your tolerance for pain.
Junkrat: What does pain have to do with science?
Moira: Everything, my strange little friend.
says little as if he isnt 6â5
hes just got the worst posture know to man
i REALLY hope we get more training range bot lore
they can express emotions, but do they feel them?
Hes bastions son
would be cool to see Genji and Hanzo fight together agaisnt people, and Hanzo picks up Genjiâs sword after Genji gets knocked down, and breaks out the pure skill that he has
(Not really, i have no evidence to support this and it makes no sense)
junk rat is a rat that turned into a humsn
i wanna see him use genji's sword and their dragons combine like in the cinematic and it does 3 dragons
whoever theyâre fighting prolly dies lol
or is he junk that turned into a rat that turned into a human ?
!!shitposting

Roadhogs eaten people correct?
I heard it somewhere but don't know if it has any grounds
It wouldnât surprise me if the Australians have delved into cannibalism
Can confirm Australians do partake in Alot of cannibalism
Yes master
You reckon omnics have genitals?
Cause we've seen people in relationships with omnics
So do you reckon they have genitals?
Or is it just a asexual situation
This has plauged me since I started playing overwatch
You asked for this
He grew up on da moon
strongest character lorewise is sigma right?
no why would they
Probably
He harnesed the harness afterall
Yes
Whats the weakest character?
My guess is hanzo since hes just a guy with a bow and no special powers other than the dragon
Uhhh I guess mei?
Meis smart
I bet zenyatta probably comitted some atrocities during the omnic crisis
Hopefully
I think its cassidy
No
cass is stronger than Hanzo and Mei
Not hanzo lmfao
its Ashe
No as well
But he doesnt have any special powers
so?
Ashe has bob
Mei is only smart not much else
yet Cassidy 1v6âd
I mean yeah Ice powers from her gun but she isnât really much of a fighter
Ashe cass and hanzo are incredibly skilled with their weapons
Deadlock gang being one of the most dangerous outlaw groups in America
Ashe or Mei are one of the weakest, only reason Ashe is above Mei is bc of her marksman skills
So meis the weakest character in the lore
ye
Out of the playable characters yes
Hanzo has his dragon though
itâd be hard to establish who would win
as far as we know, he cant guide his dragon
Cassidy just has to get out of the way
True but hanzo is an incredibly skilled fighter I wouldnât rule out the dragon in a fight
He could trap cassidy somewhere where he couldn't escape
yes he is an incredibly skilled fighter, but the matter is if he can get up close
Also hanzo canonically can use scatter arrow so he could potentially just wound cass with a stray arrow
I feel like hanzo is smarter than cassidy
Hanzo is smarter but Cass has better battle iq imo
Since he was rich and had a good education
Cass turned a 1v6 into his favor
Hanzo has had way more training in all sorts of various ways
Heâs mainly an archer of course but he can also use a sword and I imagine other weapons as an extent of that
I think hanzo is more skilled
Tbf that 1v6 he already was expecting in a sense and had time to plan out
Hanzo will definitely win if its a fisticuff battle
Iâm not saying that cass winning the 1v6 isnât impressive but itâs pretty heavily implied that cass was the one who gave Ashe the tip anonymously about the train
he didnt have time to plan out the grenades and the ropes, he thought all of that when they were all staring eachother down
He knows all the members and how they operate
Again not saying it wasnât impressive but he did have a slight edge compared to if he fought hanzo
Hanzo would most likely win, but it wouldnt be easy by any means
as like you said, his scatter arrow
Hanzo can climb wallls, he gets the high ground and kills cassidy
but cassidy also isnt dumb enough to back into a corner without a plan
Oh yeah of course it wouldnât be easy
I just think hanzo has the slight advantage
cassidy easily defeated the deadlock sniper
wouldnt count highground
Hanzo has more agility
also, bullets > arrows durability wise
He can double jump and wall climb while cassidy can just slide
so if possible, cass can shoot one coming straight at him
So i think hanzo wins
Ashe also admits to hesitating when she says in the cinematic something along the lines of I shouldâve put a bullet in his head the moment I saw him
Something like that
Meaning they gave him chance to react where as hanzo wouldnât give him this chance
Also remember hanzo is a ninja and as weâve seen a master of stealth
that could also be because Cassidy couldve thought about her not instantly shooting him
bc cassidy isnt shown to be unaware of stuff
in the comics when he met up with ana
they both knew there were soldiers outside if their building
that were no where to be found when Cass first walked in
yeah I know he could, never said he couldnt. But cass could probably sense the same way he sensed the soldiers
Its a close fight
if weâre ruling out fisticuffs, yes, very close fight that comes down to a single mistake
but if including hand to hand
hanzo wins
its a toss up to who makes the mistake first
I think hanzo would most likely win without hand to hand
genji is robot
he definitely wins the hand to hand
He just has the better training, agility
we also know he can run out of arrows
so its also a matter of time
if he can hit the shots
but its a 52/48 for me
Hanzo 52, Cass 48
only a slight edge cuz of Hanzoâs hand to hand capabilities
Have any of you heard the Zenyatta voice line when heâs in Illios?
He says he was born near the ocean.
Neat
Hanzo is said to be stronger then Genji before he was robo maned
I think the weakest character may be mercy or lucio
Possibly even zen
Iâm not sure⌠Zenyatta has too many mysteries to tell what his true strength is.
True
To me, the strongest in the entire cast so far is Sigma. He has so much potential that Talon may fear what would happen even if heâs under their control.
And Iâm pretty sure the results is him being able to fully control the black hole mentioned in his character story.
The second strongest I believe would be Hanzo if he used a sword.
Hanzo with a sword for me is top 10
IK!! now i wanna know where hes born
He doesnt say he was born near an ocean
weakest hero is Mei, easily
Hanzo with a sword is the same power level as Hanzo with a bow
and definitely isn't a contender for strongest
I believe the term is that he has the potential to create one.
What is a black hole but a gravity well
I could give you the whole science explaining what a black hole is but it's not necessary
Only if it was of enough mass
even just a fraction of a second of exposure to one fractured Sigma's brain
They exist in many sizes throughout the universe
Yeah and the one he was exposed to was tiny
A black hole gets bigger as it gains more mass by pulling more objects into it
Most don't exist for more then a moment
Eventually they lose all mass and collapse
Sigma created one by accident, it didn't exist more but a moment before collapsing
my point still stands
he doesn't control black holes, he controls gravity
specifically, relative gravity
Yeah you're right, the closest thing to a black hole in ow is Zarya's ult
But that's a gravity well, not a black hole
im jus sayin if i was in the overwatch lore id be a human supremacist
Mercy is weaker tho
Mercy has combat experience and the Valkyrie suit enhances her strength
how does lucio skate on concrete
or sand
like sure, theyâre hard light
but thatâs basically just overwatch unobtanium that makes anything possible
and that isnât fun
Meis still stronger smh
The cold beats most of our current an most likely future technology
It's not whether mei kill you it's when it will kill you
Her weapons freeze stuff solid instantly in lore
Mei has no combat experience, and her weapon is untested
also freezing someone with her gun is apparently harmless
It is not look at the cinematics
Speaking of which, I've been here in the Yukon, near Mount Logan, field-testing my new gear. I've recovered from some early "issues" (my arm still hurts from being frozen solid a few days ago⌠so embarrassing!), and everything is in good working order. Look on the bright side: now that I've tested the equipment on myself, I'm not worried about using it on all the cute animals I want to study!
Also by that logic she could have just ran at the giant omnics frozen it solid an everything would have been fine
This littarly says it hurts smh
Yet it shatters steel
This does not make sense does it?
And her icicle isn't sharp?
regardless, Mei is the weakest
Cause of her suit correct?
yes
What's the suit made of?
it isn't said
Probably a exo suit or something like that
Ok so the exosuits made of carbon fibre an some other tech right
We really donât know what other countries did to combat omnics, we know the us made super soldiers n what not
Maybe the Swiss made exo suits
Tho
Saying it's incredible
Meis gun is non lethal
this isn't about whose weapons are the best
Mercyâs is
combat stimulants, artificial muscles
this is about which hero is weaker overall
mei vs mercy?
Mei has less experience and skill than Mercy
yeah mei is weaker
In lore Mercy would win, in reality Mei is the stronger fighter
Ok I'll take the lose
just rename lore discussion to #ask-doctor-six
But how is mei not stronger then sym?
symmetraâs abilities are like
Also the omnics seem incredibly weak
damn
Symmetra is a trained agent, who has gone on many missions
even a basic omnic is stronger than a human
a well built machine can last a while when components are broken
Syms hard light is only limited to her imagination
But I'm talking in the overwatch two cinematic they seem weak
humans have been being built for millions of years
Thatâs just for action movie effect
they seem weak there because the heroes need to win
Realistically a omnic could step on tracers head and sheâd die (or genji)
their bodies may be stronger but
But if we're taking this As a source of info you'd think their weak af
a single messed up component can ruin everything, while its equivalent on a human wouldnât
yeah doesn't sombra hack omnics for fun?
if you sever a tendon and its nerve on a human
Yes randomly
you lose most control of that part that was connected
if you sever a connector and itâs wire(s) on a robot, you now have a massive electrical fault on top of all that
Can't she just like hack them an make a infinite loop of an image on the omnics brain
easily, cuz the Or14s crushed a crusader
which can cause much quicker acting cascades of issues
the OR14s are an exception
theyâre robo-horses
with many guns
I honestly hope to see more of what each country did to combat the omnic crisis, an example being the us making super soldiers and Korea making team mek-a
ik but thats what Im saying, they can easily smush a human being
Or the German crusaders
Or the gigantic Russian robots
russians fought them by being russian (not a joke) and used titans
brazil didnât even fight them very much
Omnics couldnât stand the cold sadly
they got hit directly in the finances
they didnt have an omnium near by
Just like real life
Iâm pretty sure Canada did the same as the us but with cybernetics
the outback did yeah, sydney and coastline cities are fine
It became mad max
Aka
Actual Australia
The Russian midset to war, superior firepower
africa took its entire bottle of âkill me come back strongerâ pills
And the winter
cybernetics weren't common in the Canadian Armed Forces during the crisis, according to the Sojourn novel
A.K.A the Russian bear
and somehow nigeria disassembled itself and became a shining image of humanityâs technological progress
Sojourn was an exception, not the rule
I was going off of the many prosthetic ads we see in new queens
that's present day, not during the crisis
prosthetics in the far future of present overwatch are like owning a car
they started implementing them after the success with Sojourn I think
True true
Thatâs what she said(đ)
or your wrist functioning as a stand mixer
oh god imagine the cybernetics most chefs would have
I wonder what Mexico did
lost electricity
Or Italy
and nothing else
Lol
they had Soldier đ§
Didnât sombra get orphaned because of that?
well
maybe idk
yeah
north korea would be long gone anyway
by joining them
Dorado is in Mexico
iâd imagine that
then there must be two dorados
why?
one much larger than the other
I like to think it got destroyed by that giant omnic thatâd attack South Korea time to time
yes

in the cinematic âHeroâ it shows Dorado and the thugs have the skeleton paint, and we see Sombra meeting them. Its in mexico cuz Sombra is mexican
they took dorado and PUSHED it somewhere else
yeah basically
that wasnât sombra
watch her origin story
that was Alejandra
sombra was a girl during the omnic crisis
watch her origin story
hero took place well after it
bro sombra is like
30 years old
wdym
just because theyâre both mexican girls doesnât make them the same person
and besides a lot of mexican girls look like that
Iâm gonna just talk here since general is kindaâŚ..
yeah, sombra met the same gang
That would explain her skin
yeah, reread what i saidđ
I forgot the name of it
.
tho the little girl seems to tell zarya sombras name
i do wonder from where alejandra knows sombra
Sombra grew up in Dorado
ye
everyone there probably knows her
thats what I was trynna say
that still makes her far younger than sombra
although
sombra didnât run until they were a late teenager i think?
i was stating Dorado was in mexico cuz Sombra is mexican and she has met up with the same gang
we don't know what age Olivia was when she became Sombra
gotta love how sombra is about as powerful in-game as she is in lore
gotta love how Genji is too now
translocator and invisibility spam
although
whatâs stopping people from using the old paint trick
or dust
unless whatever high vis stuff they use to mark sombra also turns invisible
its anything that comes in contact with her body, or has an implant/chip
one of those 2
cuz we see her getting a spine implant
which is the cause of her hologram, tp, and invis
something like that
Is there any backstory of characters of overwatch?
there is backstory for every hero
Russia is racist correct?
Russia is at war with omnics
Who tf is lynx 17?
She was to omnics,. But from her limes now she doesnt hate omnics anymore
Everyone probs watched that vid some1 made about how racist they are
I have watched the racist teir list
Yeah that might be outdated cuz i watched his cinematic toer list and he went like "i dont know why zarya is there" with sombra, that leads to the comic where zarya accepts and even orotects an omnic
He doesnt read the comics
So its not accurate, torb used to hate omnics but started trusting bastion
I think she still is
She said a week ago she would have killed him herself
Not going to kill someone doesnt mean that you're not racist agaisnt them
she doesnt have any lines against omnics anymore tho
thats what im basin it on
but she could have in the future
It isnt a pro omnic voice line
Its just
No omnic voice line
then she isnt racist though, as she no longer hates omnics
shes indifferent
she hates the omnics who attack russia while beign neutral to the rest
which is logical
I think until she says something pro omnic we can assume shes still racist
Just not as racist
I dont think shed drop prejudice that easily
you dont have to be racist if you arent actively vouching for it
ehhhhhh torb also turned hella fast.
thats true
now i think zarya is like basically this for humans
you hate the people who invade your country, but dont hate their nationality
What has Mercy done with Genji's ass
Sigma>
Improved it by bajillion times
what is the lore of zenyatta
good question
hes a monk
honestly thats about what we know
so we dont know why he is a monk
well probs to seek enlightenment and as rammatra said to learn peace and about the world and their place in it
i feel like rammatra will be like orisa ngl
why orisa?
and in lore or gameplay
eh not really
we know his kit, not exact details but we know what every ability does roughly
aight what does he do?
he can change between two forms where he has different abilities, omnic form is his poke form with a barrier and long range projectile, nemesis form is brawler form with punches and block
shortly explained cuz this is bout lore
so hes more like a character who switches between worse sigma and worse orisa etc
so sigma and doomfist
he is gonna be op af
ig thx for tha help
You say that but heâs probably gonna be ass
Is Ramattra from Overwatch?
no
Talon?
no again
though he does work with them
Idfk Deadlock Gang
he is.
Yes
Omnic
why dont they just make more omnics
@white robin If you don't know, don't answer
They can't
the reason hasn't been explained exactly but they can't
What lore can we talk about here
This channel is about lore, they're talking about the organization
!!shitposting @white robin
@white robin Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
following on: it may be a technology that was lost with the Omniums
why dont they just regulate the omnicas to make the civilian omnics?
the omniums were shut down or destroyed
Is this FNAF lore level confusing?
No
there are two known ones that awoke, the ones near Korea and in Siberia
What happened with pharah and Ana?
but those only make military ones
Ana was shot and knocked out long ago
It took her a while to remember herself and she decided not to tell anyone after
She only recently wrote Pharah that she was alive, and Pharah is understandably pissed off
Does mcdonalds exist in the overwatch world
There was also drama between them from before because Pharah wanted to join Overwatch and Ana prevented it, not wanting her to follow into the life of war
Pharah still did, just with Helix
Awww so she just left her daughter
its possible
And doesn't remember her
why dont they just make a civilian one?
and everyone else, but yes
she does
no she does
she remembers everyone
she didn't remember anyone for a short while after being shot
but she did remember
she deliberately didn't want to contact anyone
Was that the shot from widowmaker
yes
Damnnn
Bastion should be the main character in overwatch tbh
She wasn't shot in the head, the bullet hit her scope and it shattered
He has the most lore

which is why she didn't die but her eye got broken and she was out of it for a time
Presumably the tech is lost
ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
No wonder widow maker asked Ana if she wanted to lose her other eye
(Itâs a joke)
There's also a theory that truly sapient omnics aren't just tech
he also doesnt have the least tho
but also something spiritual which doesn't happen anymore
I didnât say he has the least
ive always thought it was a thing where the iris once gave all sentience
it's possible
thats why rammatra says they are finite
Ramattra isn't the only one who does
regardless they can't make new ones one way or the other
ok Iâve asked this before, but what about orisa?
Orisa isn't exactly an omnic
Orisa is boring tbh
shes a learning ai
ok I see
her 'mind' was made by efi and it's custom made
shes not sentient, but has kinda a personality program
nah she's sentient alright
say baymax from big hero 6
sentience just means you have an active sense of yourself and your surroundings
most animals are sentient
yeah was bout to say
sapience is what we think differentiates humans
ig omnics are more sapient
I see
maybe orisa is an exception?
probably
in ow1 she did have a line bout the iris
Echo was created post-Crisis too
but its just odd
she isnt sapient tho thats been explained
oh
Nah, orisa seems like she still follows her program to a degree
Now with extreme violenceđĽł
echo isnt sapient tho, shes an echo of her creator
eh not really
@white robin If you want to post a shit take like this you can at least spell his old name right
and you've already been warned about shitposting
I think the only ones that are human level are zen, ram, and bastion
Im not shitposting
also, not lore
honestly though orisa displays more sapience while echo legit copies alot of people
O yeah its McCree
yeah
I'd say echo and orisa are definitely more intelligent than bastion
she even has lines mainly bout learning about others
bastion is like a puppy
learning ai doesnt mean not intelligent
I wouldnât say puppy
heâs smart enough to give yes and no responses
so is a puppy lol
đ¤Ž
but yeah might be a bit of an exaggeration
I didnât know that thatâs crazy
idk tho bout echo, shes legit said to be an echo of someone, its like you base a robot on someone, give them the personality. echo isnt her own person
she's an echo in the metaphorical sense
yeah i get that
her personality isn't a complete copy of Liao's
it's heavily influenced by her but more like a child is by their parents
but most of her things are about learning from others and copying it. She doesnt really seem to be her own person but eh ill leave it
learning from others is how you become better
and copying is how you start learning
that doesn't reflect on your personality
i dont think echo and orisa truly can be considered it but it might be that ramm doesnt know, but seems odd as we dont know how far back his origin story is
she doesn't project someone else's personality onto herself, she copies/learns from their combat tactics
ill just leave it as is
Gta 5 is in the overwatch universe
but we know orisa was artificially given "a heart"
so thats a program, but she also had a line about a dream with the iris in it
Rammatra probs will shed light on it
and then her interaction with zen regarding free will and evil
it seems like some sort of deeper messaging
Honestly ram is the only one who can give clear cut answers
zen is too much about letting others find their own answers
well, keep in mind that his clear cut answers aren't necessarily true
while ramm would if echo and orisa arent truely sapient either say its fake or that its a miracle that they can exist
it's what he thinks is true, and he is an ideologue
and yeah there's a strong possibility he might not consider Echo or Orisa 'real' omnics
and seems more willing to say stuff about the iris
cuz zen is about finding your own answers and path
while ramm would be like "the iris doesnt acknowledge you, do you want to join our cause or fall?"
well thatâs treating the iris as a being, which seems kind of heretical of him
thing is we dont know what it is, most likely a new god program or maybe secret orginization cuz sombra was seen by the iris aswell
sombra thing wasn't necessarily the iris
also "god program" is a loaded term that doesn't really exist
the iris is probably just a state of transcendence, something like the idea of nirvana
sigma claims to have met the iris, but thatâs because, itâs sigma
yeah but would be hella odd to just add another thing with the same symbolism but then make it something else.
basically i just want them to finally explain it
disclaimer Iâm about to make a really weird point
mere half an hour ago in fact
but anyway, think about the ultimate voice lines for the ultimates right? the friendly one usually lines up with the enemy one in meaning
for example, hanzo zarya and baptiste
also widowmaker but
they all say the same thing, just in their native tongue as enemy
so what does zen say?
his friendly line is âexperience tranquilityâ
not all
some dont
and his enemy line is âpass into the irisâ
rein doesnt torb doesnt doom doesnt
oh i see where you are going with it
yeah
i had a theory though
shoot
the heroes with multiple languages do
at least the ones where the VA speaks it too
not always the same thing though yes
are you saying torb va is fake Swedish 𤨠(idk if he is)
he's not swedish at all
alr
torb still has no swedish lines iirc
zen is the closest to the iris because he balances peacefull (harmony orb) and aggressive (discord)
rammatra has same energy as basically discord orb so basically the theory is that the power of the iris can be used for destruction or for healing, only through self acceptence and balancing both you achieve the closest place to the iris
thatâs an interesting theory
this theory i made before ramm was announced
yeah I was about to ask
but it seems logical
ramm is radical, then mondatta was peacefull, both not able to balance them. yin and yang basically, with mondatta dead the other side overflows so ramm gets more powerfull
zen is the balance of both cuz he instead focusses on helping induviduals and focusses on himself
he doesnt protest, he doesnt do anything to help the greater omnic kind
yes he does
just not in the same way as the other two
with a more direct involvement in the community
instead of, respectively, talking a lot and starting a war
this also ties in to why ramm might not be against mondatta being killed by talon and also directly to pve cuz he would now have no counterpart
exactly
i meant it as in instead of focussing on the entire omnic kind, zen is more about helping small groups / induviduals
the reason ramm might be fine with mondatta being killed is because he thinks it would ultimately lead to war
he's about helping everyone, through finding peace
which in turn he believes the best way to do is by working from the ground up
thing is ramm doesnt necessarilly want war, he just thinks thats all thats left that can help them, to have the omnic who just says all about "we can live in peace!" and then leave while in the city were omnics are hated alot is probs what hes against
basically ramm wants action
exactly so i think thats what the iris wants, look at more from zen and what he does for people, give them advice but let them find their answers on their own. He lets them join him but it never distracts from his path. what this seems to tell us is that the iris simply wanted the omnics to choose their path.
atleast thats my theory
and thats why ramm only has the radical side
hes about the action because "the rest doesnt work."
I mean
yes?
Within the OW universe things are generally looking up for Omnics, despite issues in some places
and were even more so before Talon and Null Sector fucked things up
they're accelerationists, which, as an ethos, is... flawed
its the wrong way to do it, but you can understand why he thinks as such
yeah I agree
Ramm is magneto while Zen is Charles
Is genji's penis intact after he got his cybernetics?
No
His penis is gone
Pharmacy should be cannon
why do people care so much about Genji's penis?
Why are you not caring about his penis?
because it doesn't matter?
Wdym? How would he have kids?
why does he need to have kids?
Cause family good
the story isn't about that
long
you know we should consider short shitposting shitposting too
Overwatch has stated that he is only missing his right arm and both legs bellow the knee. So all the ⌠essential parts are still intact
Isnât he heavily scarred tho
literally darth vader lol
Yes but that just makes him more attractive
Whatâs that
Oh
Italian hero thatâs a pyro when?
Italian hero in general when
anyway, itâs crazy to think that ramattra is technically the first omnic tank in the game
I am waiting for us to get a Pacific Islander / Samoan hero
good choice
Orisa
Or a Greek hero
Oh my gosh i would cry
One of those gladiators from coliseum could be good for a Italian hero or brit
I was having a conversation with some other people, and they were both saying that orisa didnât fit the bill to be an omnic
(hence my âtechnicallyâ)
idk if theyâre right for sure but like, they were making good points
Orisa is called an omnic repeatedly in the lore
Thereâs also that theory that one of the heroâs showed in that recall image was Greek
The one with the blue visor
And black hair
His name was Helios once in a image
Helio
Yeah
was the bill for an omnic their just sentient thats it
Would be nice to see him
Isnt that the Greek god of the sun ?
Yep
omnic = made in an omnium
Oh my gosh thats amazing
like even the word omnic sounds like is related to omnicience
which they obviusly dont have but is probably a word play with sentience
If he was introduced i highly agree that heâd be a flame related hero
Oh my gosh we need one. That would be sick !!
Iâm here for it i would literally cry
Hehehehe is that a pun or is he actually ?
Iâll send you it
Bet bet
itâs crazy that ramattra is the second omnic tank
Is it me or Ramattra look like a necron?
Isn't Mercy like a 100 years old?
HAMPSTER?
she is 37-ish
this is lore disscussion
Mercy is 37
Sigma
why?
because he can manipulate gravity
yeah thatâs like universe level
and as we can see ingame he can't do all that much with it
he can only fly for like 5 seconds
can lift people up like 10 meters
ok but does the universe sing to you
the game isnt canon
ok but have you considered: this is for balance reasons
yes I am sigma main
mb
he is much more powerful in the lore
the genji nerf and stuff out yet?
but if he's so powerful why haven't talon taken over the world?
anyway I do think heâs not the most powerful by a landslide because of his madness
torb solos
having a planet level threat under control would make all their goals pretty easy to achieve
because he's unstable
he canât properly think so he canât fully control his powers to most extent
also, talon isnât about taking over the world
theyâre about strengthening humanity through conflict
so if anything they want to reshape the world
ok so who's the second most powerful
probably Symmetra
doom right?
why
because she can build almost anything out of hard light
are we sure it isnât tracer
Doomfist is behind Winston and Orisa
doomfist nullified tracer with one hand
ok, but Iâm just saying
doomfist beat the fuck outta Winston tho
when?
and I wouldnât say that was pure strength or power; that was skill on akandeâs part
that cinematic from when he first came out
Winston defeated Doomfist in that
how
he's the reason Doomfist was in jail
it was implied
but that was a 3v1
so how do we know what'd happen in a 1v1
crazy how lorewise primal rage is just a free win card for Winston while in-game it does about 12 damage
also, just logic wise
thatâs a pissed off gorilla who wants to kill you
like
gorillas are strong as hell
feels like every week we get a Doomfist fanboy coming in here asking who is strongest and getting mad when it isn't their favourite
hah
or Reaper
ok so by your count, top 5 is
sigma, symmetra, Winston, orisa, doom
in that order
right?
Sigma
Symmetra
Winston
Orisa
Doomfist/Reaper tied
oka yeah
Reaper is unkillable, but Doomfist has manipulated him in the past and his big weakness is his rage
Doomfist's weakness is hubris
what about orisa
Orisa's weakness was inexperience, but she seems to have gained a lot of experience since the last time we saw her
i got some kind of reward for logging in and idk what it was
Winston doesn't have any weaknesses because he's a Mary Sue
his "weakness" is being dorky
idk Iâd say his weakness could be rage
just not in the same way as reaper
because reaper literally canât stop being mad
while Winston gets set off easily (it seems)
probably someone from talon
Iâd say sigma or bap because sigma has seen unimaginable things, went through like hell and back
and then baptiste commited war crimes
Thats why sigma its schizophrenic
yes
It's not a weakness. Its the opposite of a weakness
Its a deus ex machina
"there is no cure for insanity"
It pops up exactly when he needs it to and does exactly its job
okay you have a point
His anger has been purely beneficial
Thats when a moira kills sigma, so yeah sigma has to have schizophrenia or some serious mental problem
what
Dont you think?
He acts exaclty like it.
Moira a counter for heros like sigma
Works well against low elo genjis too
Uh
How many characters are related to junkrat and roadhog lore?
4?
Not many
guys this is lore chatâŚâŚ
junkrat, roadhog, queen, Ana, wrecking ball(?)
They cross paths with other heros at most
so yeah 4 or 5
Wasnt ashe?
no..???? I donât remember
Nah most of the interactions with them is by junker queen
I think there was a voice line of junkrat and ashe thta said something about junkertown
Ball crossed paths with them once I think
Damn
no Iâm pretty sure their only voice line is junkrat talking about her dynamite
also, assuming doomfist by himself has a weight of around 150 kg, being a very tall and muscular man, adding 50 kg for him massive metal arm, and assuming the 4.5 second time between you being able to move and landing during meteor strike is doomfist in freefall the impact of his landing would have a force of over 150,000 joules of energy, or the equivalent of having a school bus dropped on you. And this is just for doomfist falling on you, the concentrated energy on just his fist would be far, far greater but I'm way too dumb to calculate that. So a direct hit from meteor strike would instantly eradicate any overwatch character, so therefore doom is stronger than Winston.
and yet in game you'll be lucky to get one kill
One of the coldest lore animations ever
The way doom destroys tracer
I would never play him in comp but Ill sweep quick play
Doom doesnt fit as tank
I'd say he does now that tanks are op
doom however stayed with ow1 tank damage while in ow2
Well one look at tracer, you know she wouldn't survive a direct hit from doom if he had the intent to kill her
with 450 hp he should be one of the more damaging tanks in the game
Yeah but tracer depends of that thing in her body am i right?
yeah without it she cannot control her power at all
her whole reality is basically stuck on shuffle play without it
I forget it's name, but it keeps tracer from time skipping
Almost no one talks about hanzo'snlore
Chronal accelerator
That
sigma best lore
I prefer hanzo one
Bro lamost killed his brother
Her device on her back also is what allows her to control her abilities, to skip and recall
"what would our dad say if he saw this."
uhm actually itâs called blink not skip đ¤
Hanzo its literally a monster to genji
He has no feelings
Genji doesn't really take things seriously until after Hanzo almost kills him, before that he always acted very cavalier in life, kinda a playboy life
Yeah
he wasnât a playboy really
he was just a gamer
does hanzo have a voice line where he says "don't just sit there with your mouth full of teeth" though?
didn't think so
sigma on top
Hanzo and Genji, were basically members of a Yakuza clan
okay but Winston still beat him, therefore Winston is stronger
rigged
plot armour
Yeah
I told you
yeah that was kind of implied
he's the main character
Winston just panic ulted
Think gorillas are SOOO many times stronger than any human
Winston still beat doom tho
Especially winston. He could massacrate anyone
shut up danny
So I agree with Lore, he's obviously stronger, or at least more tactically inclined
okay but the thing is doomfist is like, probably at least gorilla level in terms of strength (seeing as how he punched his way out of a jail) plus he has the doomfist
Theres almost no lore for lucio right?
pretty much none yeah
There is some
he just stole some tech from vishkar, and heâs a celebrity
I mena we obv know hes SOOO famous in brazil
In brazil you cna see lucio posters everywhere
Even the oayload its related to him
Lucio just a world renowned DJ, what lore there is on him, is him fighting what the viskar corporation was doing and planning for his home
Hes funny
Thats all
The sounds lucio makes when he dies is funny tbh
Lucio should practice capoeira
Dva when she dies is most entertaining tho
I hate dva so much
Especially when rein pins her to a wall lol
Degenerate little kid
Wth is that mf doing in OVERWATCH
I'm not a fan of dva either tbh
why are yâall talking about game mechanics in the lore channel again areggggggh
I just dont understand
It's fine to go off topic for a moment calm down
Why they would accept a GAMER. To overwatch.
Literally makes no sense
Dva proved she was skilled enough as a fighter
Eh.
Iâm not that mad but like, Iâve seen moderators get onto people for saying one off topic message
just trying to uphold some sort of standard ig
She was the only one left in a battle with a gwishin omnic when everyone else on her team had been knocked out
Zen and Genji are actually friends?
zen is genjiâs mentor
closest thing to a father figure, though not really
Yeah well.
The omnic ripped her last working fusion cannon off tho, he defeated it by overloading the reactor of her mech
Shimada family
Aka dva bomb
I HATE HOW DVA MECH HAS A NAME NOW
It always did
Tokki
I hate how beatiful Roadhog and Junkrat friendship is.
Hate is a strong word
Be careful how you use it
Mhm
It just makes me jealous
They rob banks together
Their relationship isn't perfect
Eh
What would they be if they werent tigether
Junk actually fouled up the plan to sneak into junkertown and raid the treasury
One its the psychopath brain
And the other one its the monstrosity strength
They are perfect
Well
The brain and the brawns lol
Yeah
Do we know who designed genji's armor?
I think partly ow, but mostly genji himself
Mhm
Black watch skin im gessing its before genji enterd overwatch
You can see the scratches on his body that hanzo caused him
are all omnics sentient
Is it strange to wonder what Rein would look like without his armor
True
Its a mystery
I bet Rein was quite the ladies man when he was younger lol
I mean, black watch is part of overwatch
so how would he be in black watch before overwatch
or am I missing something
Yeah their black ops division
Blackwatch upgraded genji's cybernetics after he agreed to help the organization topple his clan
Yeah
Was his arm fully amputated?
Idk, Genji's blackwatch skin gives the best idea of what he looked like soon after his fight with Hanzo
And Hanzo doesnt regret whta he done to him
He wanted to proof hes better
