oh really?

#

damn thats not cool 😦

ivory garnet
#

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

glacial maple
#

i wonder if junkertown knows wrecking ball is a hamster arleady?

ivory garnet
#

yes

primal sphinx
#

i would sell my soul to see a complete 180 on widowmaker

glacial maple
#

the queen does know

ivory garnet
#

we see JQ hammond after a brawl

#

holding hammond*

glacial maple
#

ohh right

primal sphinx
#

oh my gosh how have i not seen that ?

final juniper
#

what did junkrat do to get kicked out?

glacial maple
#

i think

ivory garnet
#

being a dumbass

final juniper
#

per usual ig

glacial maple
#

yeah junkrat is just

#

kind of the least sane character

ivory garnet
#

sigma 1

glacial maple
#

true lol

final juniper
#

I love junkrats interaction with moira

drifting viper
drifting viper
ivory garnet
#

Roadhog is kinda sad ngl, continually suffering from radiation poisoning

final juniper
#

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.

ivory garnet
#

says little as if he isnt 6’5

final juniper
#

hes just got the worst posture know to man

glacial maple
#

i REALLY hope we get more training range bot lore

#

they can express emotions, but do they feel them?

drifting viper
ivory garnet
#

would be cool to see Genji and Hanzo fight together agaisnt people, and Hanzo picks up Genji’s sword after Genji gets knocked down, and breaks out the pure skill that he has

drifting viper
#

(Not really, i have no evidence to support this and it makes no sense)

mild crow
#

junk rat is a rat that turned into a humsn

whoever they’re fighting prolly dies lol

Roadhogs eaten people correct?

#

I heard it somewhere but don't know if it has any grounds

surreal bramble
teal pecan
#

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

floral willow
#

strongest character lorewise is sigma right?

drifting viper
drifting viper
#

He harnesed the harness afterall

drifting viper
#

Whats the weakest character?

#

My guess is hanzo since hes just a guy with a bow and no special powers other than the dragon

split granite
drifting viper
#

Meis smart

teal pecan
#

Probably zen?

#

Mei shows combat prowess

#

Zen hasn't really shown he can fight

drifting viper
teal pecan
#

Hopefully

drifting viper
teal pecan
#

No

ivory garnet
#

cass is stronger than Hanzo and Mei

teal pecan
#

Not hanzo lmfao

ivory garnet
#

its Ashe

teal pecan
#

No as well

drifting viper
#

But he doesnt have any special powers

ivory garnet
#

so?

drifting viper
#

Ashe has bob

split granite
#

Mei is only smart not much else

ivory garnet
#

yet Cassidy 1v6’d

split granite
#

I mean yeah Ice powers from her gun but she isn’t 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

ivory garnet
#

Ashe or Mei are one of the weakest, only reason Ashe is above Mei is bc of her marksman skills

drifting viper
#

So meis the weakest character in the lore

ivory garnet
#

ye

split granite
#

Out of the playable characters yes

ivory garnet
#

Cass and Hanzo is an equal fight tbh

#

both are amazing shots

split granite
#

Hanzo has his dragon though

ivory garnet
#

it’d 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

split granite
#

True but hanzo is an incredibly skilled fighter I wouldn’t rule out the dragon in a fight

drifting viper
#

He could trap cassidy somewhere where he couldn't escape

ivory garnet
#

yes he is an incredibly skilled fighter, but the matter is if he can get up close

split granite
#

Also hanzo canonically can use scatter arrow so he could potentially just wound cass with a stray arrow

drifting viper
#

I feel like hanzo is smarter than cassidy

ivory garnet
#

Hanzo is smarter but Cass has better battle iq imo

drifting viper
#

Since he was rich and had a good education

ivory garnet
#

Cass turned a 1v6 into his favor

split granite
#

Hanzo has had way more training in all sorts of various ways
He’s mainly an archer of course but he can also use a sword and I imagine other weapons as an extent of that

ivory garnet
#

yeah, but I wont count him using a sword bc

#

he gave it up

drifting viper
#

I think hanzo is more skilled

split granite
#

Tbf that 1v6 he already was expecting in a sense and had time to plan out

ivory garnet
#

Hanzo will definitely win if its a fisticuff battle

split granite
#

I’m not saying that cass winning the 1v6 isn’t impressive but it’s pretty heavily implied that cass was the one who gave Ashe the tip anonymously about the train

ivory garnet
split granite
#

He knows all the members and how they operate
Again not saying it wasn’t impressive but he did have a slight edge compared to if he fought hanzo

ivory garnet
#

Hanzo would most likely win, but it wouldnt be easy by any means

#

as like you said, his scatter arrow

drifting viper
#

Hanzo can climb wallls, he gets the high ground and kills cassidy

ivory garnet
#

but cassidy also isnt dumb enough to back into a corner without a plan

split granite
#

Oh yeah of course it wouldn’t be easy

#

I just think hanzo has the slight advantage

ivory garnet
#

wouldnt count highground

drifting viper
#

Hanzo has more agility

ivory garnet
#

also, bullets > arrows durability wise

drifting viper
#

He can double jump and wall climb while cassidy can just slide

ivory garnet
#

so if possible, cass can shoot one coming straight at him

drifting viper
#

So i think hanzo wins

split granite
#

Ashe also admits to hesitating when she says in the cinematic something along the lines of I should’ve put a bullet in his head the moment I saw him

#

Something like that

#

Meaning they gave him chance to react where as hanzo wouldn’t give him this chance

#

Also remember hanzo is a ninja and as we’ve seen a master of stealth

ivory garnet
#

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

drifting viper
#

but hanzo could also do that

#

On top of the other things he can do

ivory garnet
#

yeah I know he could, never said he couldnt. But cass could probably sense the same way he sensed the soldiers

drifting viper
#

Its a close fight

ivory garnet
#

if we’re 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

drifting viper
#

I think hanzo would most likely win without hand to hand

mild crow
#

genji is robot

ivory garnet
#

he definitely wins the hand to hand

drifting viper
#

He just has the better training, agility

ivory garnet
#

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 Hanzo’s hand to hand capabilities

worthy rose
#

Have any of you heard the Zenyatta voice line when he’s in Illios?

#

He says he was born near the ocean.

teal pecan
#

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

worthy rose
#

I’m not sure… Zenyatta has too many mysteries to tell what his true strength is.

teal pecan
#

True

worthy rose
#

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 he’s under their control.

#

And I’m 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.

ivory garnet
#

Hanzo with a sword for me is top 10

solid sonnet
limpid agate
#

He doesnt say he was born near an ocean

peak escarp
#

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

restive crown
#

Strongest hero is sigma

#

He can control black holes

peak escarp
#

he can control gravity

#

not black holes

worthy rose
#

I believe the term is that he has the potential to create one.

worthy rose
#

I could give you the whole science explaining what a black hole is but it's not necessary

peak escarp
#

a black hole is a specific anomaly

#

creating those would destroy all life on earth

worthy rose
#

Only if it was of enough mass

peak escarp
#

even just a fraction of a second of exposure to one fractured Sigma's brain

worthy rose
#

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

peak escarp
#

my point still stands

#

he doesn't control black holes, he controls gravity

#

specifically, relative gravity

worthy rose
#

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

astral pumice
#

im jus sayin if i was in the overwatch lore id be a human supremacist

worthy rose
#

I'd be monke supremist

#

Winston is boss

worthy rose
peak escarp
#

Mercy has combat experience and the Valkyrie suit enhances her strength

urban moth
#

how does lucio skate on concrete

#

or sand

#

like sure, they’re hard light

#

but that’s basically just overwatch unobtanium that makes anything possible

#

and that isn’t fun

teal pecan
#

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

peak escarp
#

Mei has no combat experience, and her weapon is untested

#

also freezing someone with her gun is apparently harmless

teal pecan
#

It is not look at the cinematics

peak escarp
#

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!

teal pecan
#

Also by that logic she could have just ran at the giant omnics frozen it solid an everything would have been fine

teal pecan
peak escarp
#

it hurt, but she survived

#

and feels okay with using it on animals

teal pecan
#

Yet it shatters steel

#

This does not make sense does it?

#

And her icicle isn't sharp?

peak escarp
#

regardless, Mei is the weakest

teal pecan
#

She's not an your not using basic knowledge

#

Mercy is weaker

#

Or lucio

peak escarp
#

why?

#

Mercy can lift concrete slabs and carry Genji with one arm

teal pecan
#

Cause of her suit correct?

peak escarp
#

yes

teal pecan
#

What's the suit made of?

peak escarp
#

it isn't said

surreal bramble
teal pecan
#

Ok so the exosuits made of carbon fibre an some other tech right

surreal bramble
#

We really don’t know what other countries did to combat omnics, we know the us made super soldiers n what not

#

Maybe the Swiss made exo suits

teal pecan
#

Possible

#

But mercy is not beating meis weapons

#

As torb comments on it in game

surreal bramble
#

Tho

teal pecan
#

Saying it's incredible

surreal bramble
#

Meis gun is non lethal

peak escarp
#

this isn't about whose weapons are the best

surreal bramble
#

Mercy’s is

urban moth
#

combat stimulants, artificial muscles

peak escarp
#

this is about which hero is weaker overall

urban moth
#

mei vs mercy?

peak escarp
#

Mei has less experience and skill than Mercy

urban moth
#

yeah mei is weaker

worthy rose
#

In lore Mercy would win, in reality Mei is the stronger fighter

teal pecan
#

Ok I'll take the lose

urban moth
#

just rename lore discussion to #ask-doctor-six

teal pecan
#

But how is mei not stronger then sym?

urban moth
#

symmetra’s abilities are like

teal pecan
#

Also the omnics seem incredibly weak

urban moth
#

damn

peak escarp
#

Symmetra is a trained agent, who has gone on many missions

urban moth
#

however

#

symmetra is still weak physically

peak escarp
#

even a basic omnic is stronger than a human

urban moth
#

a well built machine can last a while when components are broken

surreal bramble
teal pecan
#

But I'm talking in the overwatch two cinematic they seem weak

urban moth
#

humans have been being built for millions of years

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

so naturally they can function with many missing components

#

omnics? not so much

peak escarp
surreal bramble
#

Realistically a omnic could step on tracers head and she’d die (or genji)

urban moth
#

their bodies may be stronger but

teal pecan
#

But if we're taking this As a source of info you'd think their weak af

urban moth
#

a single messed up component can ruin everything, while its equivalent on a human wouldn’t

surreal bramble
#

Only fault to omnics is that they are hackable

#

And don’t reproduce

teal pecan
#

yeah doesn't sombra hack omnics for fun?

urban moth
#

if you sever a tendon and its nerve on a human

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

you lose most control of that part that was connected

#

if you sever a connector and it’s wire(s) on a robot, you now have a massive electrical fault on top of all that

teal pecan
#

Can't she just like hack them an make a infinite loop of an image on the omnics brain

ivory garnet
urban moth
#

which can cause much quicker acting cascades of issues

urban moth
#

they’re robo-horses

#

with many guns

surreal bramble
#

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

ivory garnet
#

ik but thats what Im saying, they can easily smush a human being

surreal bramble
#

Or the gigantic Russian robots

ivory garnet
urban moth
#

brazil didn’t even fight them very much

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

they got hit directly in the finances

ivory garnet
#

they didnt have an omnium near by

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

and australia

#

they just fucking blew up lol

surreal bramble
#

I’m pretty sure Canada did the same as the us but with cybernetics

ivory garnet
#

the outback did yeah, sydney and coastline cities are fine

surreal bramble
#

Aka

#

Actual Australia

worthy rose
#

The Russian midset to war, superior firepower

urban moth
#

africa took its entire bottle of “kill me come back stronger” pills

surreal bramble
peak escarp
worthy rose
urban moth
#

and somehow nigeria disassembled itself and became a shining image of humanity’s technological progress

peak escarp
#

Sojourn was an exception, not the rule

urban moth
#

which

#

is just funny to think about tbh

surreal bramble
peak escarp
#

that's present day, not during the crisis

urban moth
#

prosthetics in the far future of present overwatch are like owning a car

ivory garnet
#

they started implementing them after the success with Sojourn I think

surreal bramble
#

True true

urban moth
#

even if it’s something small

#

like optics

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

or your wrist functioning as a stand mixer

#

oh god imagine the cybernetics most chefs would have

surreal bramble
#

I wonder what Mexico did

urban moth
surreal bramble
#

Or Italy

urban moth
#

and nothing else

surreal bramble
ivory garnet
#

they had Soldier 😧

surreal bramble
#

Didn’t sombra get orphaned because of that?

urban moth
#

well

ivory garnet
#

maybe idk

urban moth
#

wait no isn’t that puerto rico

#

oh nvm

#

dorado is in puerto rico

#

i got confused

surreal bramble
#

Wait

#

Is Korea unified in ow?

ivory garnet
#

sombra is hispanic, mexican for the most part

#

no

#

only D.VA unified with OW

urban moth
#

north korea would be long gone anyway

ivory garnet
#

by joining them

peak escarp
urban moth
#

i’d imagine that

urban moth
peak escarp
#

why?

urban moth
#

one much larger than the other

surreal bramble
urban moth
#

wait wait

#

so

#

overwatch decided to completely make up the town of dorado, mexico

peak escarp
#

yes

urban moth
#

when there’s a dorado, puerto rico

#

that actually exists

#

and looks very similar

peak escarp
ivory garnet
urban moth
#

they took dorado and PUSHED it somewhere else

ivory garnet
#

yeah basically

ivory garnet
#

watch her origin story

peak escarp
#

that was Alejandra

urban moth
#

sombra was a girl during the omnic crisis

ivory garnet
#

watch her origin story

urban moth
#

hero took place well after it

#

bro sombra is like

#

30 years old

#

wdym

#

just because they’re both mexican girls doesn’t make them the same person

#

and besides a lot of mexican girls look like that

ivory garnet
surreal bramble
#

I’m gonna just talk here since general is kinda…..

urban moth
surreal bramble
ivory garnet
#

yeah, reread what i said😭

surreal bramble
#

I forgot the name of it

peak escarp
urban moth
#

oh

#

i see your point

alpine pawn
#

tho the little girl seems to tell zarya sombras name

#

i do wonder from where alejandra knows sombra

urban moth
#

if alejandra is 14 at the time of that comic

#

just a guess

#

probably older

peak escarp
#

Sombra grew up in Dorado

ivory garnet
#

ye

peak escarp
#

everyone there probably knows her

ivory garnet
#

thats what I was trynna say

urban moth
#

that still makes her far younger than sombra

#

although

#

sombra didn’t run until they were a late teenager i think?

ivory garnet
#

i was stating Dorado was in mexico cuz Sombra is mexican and she has met up with the same gang

urban moth
#

idk the age

#

probably doesn’t say

peak escarp
#

we don't know what age Olivia was when she became Sombra

urban moth
#

gotta love how sombra is about as powerful in-game as she is in lore

ivory garnet
#

gotta love how Genji is too now

urban moth
#

translocator and invisibility spam

#

although

#

what’s stopping people from using the old paint trick

#

or dust

#

unless whatever high vis stuff they use to mark sombra also turns invisible

ivory garnet
#

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

restive crown
#

How tall is rein no armor?

#

Like 7ft?

peak escarp
#

something like that

worthy rose
#

Is there any backstory of characters of overwatch?

peak escarp
#

there is backstory for every hero

teal pecan
#

Russia is racist correct?

peak escarp
#

Russia is at war with omnics

teal pecan
#

But like their racist correct?

#

Zaryas racist isn't she?

peak escarp
#

she was

#

but her encounter with Lynx 17 expanded her understanding

teal pecan
#

Who tf is lynx 17?

peak escarp
keen summit
#

Yoy can even hear it in zarya lines

#

She barely hates on omnics now

keen summit
#

Everyone probs watched that vid some1 made about how racist they are

teal pecan
#

I have watched the racist teir list

keen summit
#

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

drifting viper
#

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

keen summit
#

thats what im basin it on

drifting viper
#

but she could have in the future

#

It isnt a pro omnic voice line

#

Its just

#

No omnic voice line

keen summit
#

shes indifferent

#

she hates the omnics who attack russia while beign neutral to the rest

#

which is logical

drifting viper
#

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

keen summit
drifting viper
#

But she was racist before

#

Thats why i think we can assume she still is

keen summit
#

ehhhhhh torb also turned hella fast.

drifting viper
#

thats true

keen summit
#

now i think zarya is like basically this for humans
you hate the people who invade your country, but dont hate their nationality

clever abyss
#

What has Mercy done with Genji's ass

steep magnet
#

Sigma>

kindred nimbus
tardy void
#

what is the lore of zenyatta

keen summit
#

hes a monk

#

honestly thats about what we know

tardy void
keen summit
tardy void
keen summit
#

and in lore or gameplay

tardy void
#

sorry havent seen his kit yet

keen summit
#

we know his kit, not exact details but we know what every ability does roughly

keen summit
#

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

tardy void
#

he is gonna be op af

So yeah

Is this FNAF lore level confusing?

white robin
iron plume
#

there are two known ones that awoke, the ones near Korea and in Siberia

thick elk
#

What happened with pharah and Ana?

iron plume
#

but those only make military ones

iron plume
#

She only recently wrote Pharah that she was alive, and Pharah is understandably pissed off

white robin
#

Does mcdonalds exist in the overwatch world

iron plume
#

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

thick elk
keen summit
thick elk
#

And doesn't remember her

loud linden
iron plume
#

and everyone else, but yes

keen summit
iron plume
#

no she does

keen summit
#

she remembers everyone

iron plume
#

she didn't remember anyone for a short while after being shot

#

but she did remember
she deliberately didn't want to contact anyone

thick elk
#

Was that the shot from widowmaker

iron plume
#

yes

thick elk
#

Damnnn

white robin
#

Bastion should be the main character in overwatch tbh

iron plume
#

She wasn't shot in the head, the bullet hit her scope and it shattered

white robin
#

He has the most lore

thick elk
iron plume
#

which is why she didn't die but her eye got broken and she was out of it for a time

iron plume
keen summit
thick elk
#

No wonder widow maker asked Ana if she wanted to lose her other eye

white robin
iron plume
#

There's also a theory that truly sapient omnics aren't just tech

keen summit
iron plume
#

but also something spiritual which doesn't happen anymore

white robin
#

I didn’t say he has the least

keen summit
iron plume
#

it's possible

keen summit
#

thats why rammatra says they are finite

iron plume
#

Ramattra isn't the only one who does

#

regardless they can't make new ones one way or the other

mossy hamlet
#

ok I’ve asked this before, but what about orisa?

iron plume
#

Orisa isn't exactly an omnic

white robin
#

Orisa is boring tbh

keen summit
mossy hamlet
#

ok I see

iron plume
#

her 'mind' was made by efi and it's custom made

keen summit
#

shes not sentient, but has kinda a personality program

iron plume
#

nah she's sentient alright

keen summit
#

say baymax from big hero 6

iron plume
#

and sapient

#

which is the important part here

mossy hamlet
#

what’s the difference between sentient and sapient?

#

asking for a friend

iron plume
#

sentience just means you have an active sense of yourself and your surroundings

#

most animals are sentient

keen summit
#

yeah was bout to say

iron plume
#

sapience is what we think differentiates humans

keen summit
#

ig omnics are more sapient

I see

maybe orisa is an exception?

iron plume
#

probably

keen summit
#

in ow1 she did have a line bout the iris

iron plume
#

Echo was created post-Crisis too

keen summit
#

but its just odd

keen summit
iron plume
#

so there can be exceptions

#

oop sorry miner, chat moved up

keen summit
#

oh

digital forum
#

Nah, orisa seems like she still follows her program to a degree
Now with extreme violence🥳

keen summit
#

echo isnt sapient tho, shes an echo of her creator

iron plume
#

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

digital forum
#

I think the only ones that are human level are zen, ram, and bastion

white robin
#

Im not shitposting

iron plume
#

also, not lore

keen summit
#

honestly though orisa displays more sapience while echo legit copies alot of people

white robin
#

O yeah its McCree

keen summit
#

thats kinda what she does

#

echo defo is a learning AI

mossy hamlet
#

yeah

iron plume
#

I'd say echo and orisa are definitely more intelligent than bastion

keen summit
#

she even has lines mainly bout learning about others

iron plume
#

bastion is like a puppy

keen summit
iron plume
#

I'm talking about sapience

#

learning ai doesn't mean they're not

mossy hamlet
iron plume
#

so is a puppy lol

white robin
#

🤮

iron plume
#

but yeah might be a bit of an exaggeration

mossy hamlet
#

I didn’t know that that’s crazy

keen summit
iron plume
#

she's an echo in the metaphorical sense

keen summit
#

yeah i get that

iron plume
#

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

keen summit
#

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

iron plume
#

learning from others is how you become better
and copying is how you start learning

#

that doesn't reflect on your personality

keen summit
#

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

iron plume
#

she doesn't project someone else's personality onto herself, she copies/learns from their combat tactics

keen summit
#

ill just leave it as is

white robin
#

Gta 5 is in the overwatch universe

keen summit
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

and then her interaction with zen regarding free will and evil

#

it seems like some sort of deeper messaging

keen summit
#

Honestly ram is the only one who can give clear cut answers

#

zen is too much about letting others find their own answers

iron plume
#

well, keep in mind that his clear cut answers aren't necessarily true

keen summit
#

while ramm would if echo and orisa arent truely sapient either say its fake or that its a miracle that they can exist

iron plume
#

it's what he thinks is true, and he is an ideologue

keen summit
#

ig

#

but he does know alot about sapience and stuff

iron plume
#

and yeah there's a strong possibility he might not consider Echo or Orisa 'real' omnics

keen summit
#

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?"

mossy hamlet
#

well that’s treating the iris as a being, which seems kind of heretical of him

keen summit
iron plume
#

sombra thing wasn't necessarily the iris

#

also "god program" is a loaded term that doesn't really exist

mossy hamlet
#

the iris is probably just a state of transcendence, something like the idea of nirvana
sigma claims to have met the iris, but that’s because, it’s sigma

keen summit
#

basically i just want them to finally explain it

mossy hamlet
#

disclaimer I’m about to make a really weird point

keen summit
#

go for it

#

ive probs seen worse

iron plume
#

mere half an hour ago in fact

mossy hamlet
#

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 “experience tranquility”

keen summit
#

some dont

mossy hamlet
#

and his enemy line is “pass into the iris”

keen summit
#

rein doesnt torb doesnt doom doesnt

mossy hamlet
#

you have a point though

keen summit
mossy hamlet
#

yeah

keen summit
#

i had a theory though

mossy hamlet
#

shoot

iron plume
#

at least the ones where the VA speaks it too

#

not always the same thing though yes

mossy hamlet
#

are you saying torb va is fake Swedish 🤨 (idk if he is)

iron plume
#

he's not swedish at all

mossy hamlet
#

alr

iron plume
#

torb still has no swedish lines iirc

keen summit
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

that’s an interesting theory

keen summit
#

this theory i made before ramm was announced

mossy hamlet
#

yeah I was about to ask

keen summit
#

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

iron plume
#

with a more direct involvement in the community

#

instead of, respectively, talking a lot and starting a war

keen summit
#

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

keen summit
iron plume
#

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

keen summit
#

basically ramm wants action

keen summit
#

atleast thats my theory

#

and thats why ramm only has the radical side

#

hes about the action because "the rest doesnt work."

mossy hamlet
#

I mean

#

is he wrong?

iron plume
#

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

keen summit
mossy hamlet
#

yeah I agree

Ramm is magneto while Zen is Charles

Is genji's penis intact after he got his cybernetics?

His penis is gone

peak escarp
#

why do people care so much about Genji's penis?

pliant grove
peak escarp
#

because it doesn't matter?

pliant grove
#

Wdym? How would he have kids?

peak escarp
#

why does he need to have kids?

pliant grove

Cause family good

the story isn't about that

the Pharah/Mercy ship

which isn't canon and never will be

Oh

alpine pawn
#

also a very strong dps combo in game

#

but yeah canonically gency is prob the endgame

surreal bramble
#

Italian hero that’s a pyro when?

mossy hamlet
#

Italian hero in general when

#

anyway, it’s crazy to think that ramattra is technically the first omnic tank in the game

primal sphinx

I am waiting for us to get a Pacific Islander / Samoan hero

mossy hamlet

good choice

One of those gladiators from coliseum could be good for a Italian hero or brit

mossy hamlet
# peak escarp Orisa

I was having a conversation with some other people, and they were both saying that orisa didn’t fit the bill to be an omnic
(hence my “technically”)

#

idk if they’re right for sure but like, they were making good points

peak escarp
#

Orisa is called an omnic repeatedly in the lore

surreal bramble
#

There’s also that theory that one of the hero’s showed in that recall image was Greek

#

The one with the blue visor

#

And black hair

#

His name was Helios once in a image

peak escarp
#

Helio

surreal bramble
#

Yeah

alpine pawn

was the bill for an omnic their just sentient thats it

surreal bramble

Would be nice to see him

primal sphinx
surreal bramble
peak escarp
#

omnic = made in an omnium

primal sphinx
#

Oh my gosh thats amazing

alpine pawn
#

like even the word omnic sounds like is related to omnicience

#

which they obviusly dont have but is probably a word play with sentience

primal sphinx

I’m here for it i would literally cry

HAMPSTER?

#

this is lore disscussion

peak escarp
quick skiff
#

who's the most powerful character in the game?

#

lorewise

peak escarp
#

Sigma

quick skiff
#

why?

peak escarp
#

because he can manipulate gravity

mossy hamlet
#

yeah that’s like universe level

quick skiff
#

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

tacit ember
#

ok but does the universe sing to you

peak escarp
#

the game isnt canon

mossy hamlet
#

ok but have you considered: this is for balance reasons

quick skiff
tacit ember
#

mb

peak escarp
#

he is much more powerful in the lore

tacit ember
#

the genji nerf and stuff out yet?

quick skiff
mossy hamlet
#

anyway I do think he’s not the most powerful by a landslide because of his madness

tacit ember
#

torb solos

quick skiff
#

having a planet level threat under control would make all their goals pretty easy to achieve

peak escarp
mossy hamlet
#

he can’t properly think so he can’t fully control his powers to most extent

#

also, talon isn’t about taking over the world

#

they’re about strengthening humanity through conflict

#

so if anything they want to reshape the world

quick skiff
#

ok so who's the second most powerful

peak escarp
#

probably Symmetra

quick skiff
#

doom right?

quick skiff
peak escarp
#

because she can build almost anything out of hard light

mossy hamlet
#

are we sure it isn’t tracer

peak escarp
#

Doomfist is behind Winston and Orisa

quick skiff
mossy hamlet
#

ok, but I’m just saying

quick skiff
peak escarp
mossy hamlet
#

and I wouldn’t say that was pure strength or power; that was skill on akande’s part

quick skiff
peak escarp
#

Winston defeated Doomfist in that

quick skiff
#

how

peak escarp
#

he's the reason Doomfist was in jail

quick skiff
#

oh

#

that wasn't shown in the cinematic then

mossy hamlet
#

it was implied

quick skiff
#

but that was a 3v1

peak escarp
quick skiff
#

so how do we know what'd happen in a 1v1

peak escarp
#

Doomfist bodied Tracer and Genji easily

#

then Winston defeated Doomfist one on one

quick skiff
#

crazy how lorewise primal rage is just a free win card for Winston while in-game it does about 12 damage

peak escarp
#

it's because Winston is the main character

#

so he gets plot armor

mossy hamlet
#

also, just logic wise

#

that’s a pissed off gorilla who wants to kill you

#

like

#

gorillas are strong as hell

peak escarp
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

hah

peak escarp
#

or Reaper

mossy hamlet
#

I’d say he’s up there? but not like

#

suuuuper up there

peak escarp
#

or Hanzo with a sword

#

Doomfist is top 5

mossy hamlet
#

fair

#

I’d say “suuuper up there” is like top 3

peak escarp
#

Reaper is on par with Doomfist

#

maybe higher because he's nigh unkillable

mossy hamlet
#

ok so by your count, top 5 is

#

sigma, symmetra, Winston, orisa, doom

#

in that order

#

right?

peak escarp
#

Sigma
Symmetra
Winston
Orisa
Doomfist/Reaper tied

mossy hamlet
#

oka yeah

peak escarp
#

Reaper is unkillable, but Doomfist has manipulated him in the past and his big weakness is his rage

#

Doomfist's weakness is hubris

mossy hamlet
#

what about orisa

peak escarp
#

Orisa's weakness was inexperience, but she seems to have gained a lot of experience since the last time we saw her

craggy marten
#

i got some kind of reward for logging in and idk what it was

peak escarp
#

Winston doesn't have any weaknesses because he's a Mary Sue

#

his "weakness" is being dorky

mossy hamlet
#

just not in the same way as reaper

#

because reaper literally can’t stop being mad

#

while Winston gets set off easily (it seems)

worthy rose
#

What characters have the most shocking lores

#

Give me your thoughts

mossy hamlet
#

probably someone from talon

#

I’d say sigma or bap because sigma has seen unimaginable things, went through like hell and back

#

and then baptiste commited war crimes

mossy hamlet
#

yes

limpid agate
#

Its a deus ex machina

worthy rose
#

"there is no cure for insanity"

limpid agate
#

It pops up exactly when he needs it to and does exactly its job

mossy hamlet
#

okay you have a point

limpid agate
#

His anger has been purely beneficial

worthy rose
#

Thats when a moira kills sigma, so yeah sigma has to have schizophrenia or some serious mental problem

mossy hamlet
#

what

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
worthy rose
#

Fr

#

Yes ik

#

Junk and hog a duo bent on looting and chaos pretty much

mossy hamlet
worthy rose
#

They cross paths with other heros at most

mossy hamlet
#

so yeah 4 or 5

worthy rose
mossy hamlet
#

no..???? I don’t remember

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

no I’m pretty sure their only voice line is junkrat talking about her dynamite

worthy rose
#

Mhm...

#

Not sure

#

But i still have thta in my head, i remember something about them

quick skiff
# peak escarp then Winston defeated Doomfist one on one

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.

worthy rose
#

Doom its a menace

#

Atleast in demostration video

quick skiff
worthy rose
#

One of the coldest lore animations ever

quick skiff
#

fax

#

he's also not as garbage as people think

worthy rose
#

The way doom destroys tracer

quick skiff
#

I would never play him in comp but Ill sweep quick play

worthy rose
#

Doom doesnt fit as tank

quick skiff
#

I'd say he does now that tanks are op

worthy rose
#

For me the best ow lore its hanzo one

#

Obv.

quick skiff
#

doom however stayed with ow1 tank damage while in ow2

worthy rose
#

Well one look at tracer, you know she wouldn't survive a direct hit from doom if he had the intent to kill her

quick skiff
#

with 450 hp he should be one of the more damaging tanks in the game

worthy rose
#

Yeah but tracer depends of that thing in her body am i right?

quick skiff
#

yeah without it she cannot control her power at all

worthy rose
#

Whtaever that is

#

Yeah to keep her to phasing in time uncontrollably

quick skiff
#

her whole reality is basically stuck on shuffle play without it

worthy rose
#

I forget it's name, but it keeps tracer from time skipping

#

Almost no one talks about hanzo'snlore

quick skiff
#

Chronal accelerator

worthy rose
quick skiff
worthy rose
#

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."

mossy hamlet
#

uhm actually it’s called blink not skip 🤓

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

he wasn’t a playboy really
he was just a gamer

worthy rose
#

Hanzo has a long family story

#

Very long.

#

Every voice lines

#

Rejected everything

quick skiff
#

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

worthy rose
#

Hanzo and Genji, were basically members of a Yakuza clan

peak escarp
quick skiff
#

plot armour

peak escarp
#

I told you

mossy hamlet
peak escarp
#

he's the main character

quick skiff
#

Winston just panic ulted

worthy rose
#

Winston still beat doom tho

#

Especially winston. He could massacrate anyone

quick skiff
worthy rose
#

So I agree with Lore, he's obviously stronger, or at least more tactically inclined

mossy hamlet
worthy rose
#

Theres almost no lore for lucio right?

mossy hamlet
#

pretty much none yeah

worthy rose
#

There is some

mossy hamlet
#

he just stole some tech from vishkar, and he’s a celebrity

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

Lucio should practice capoeira

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

why are y’all talking about game mechanics in the lore channel again areggggggh

worthy rose
#

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.

mossy hamlet
#

just trying to uphold some sort of standard ig

worthy rose
#

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?

mossy hamlet
#

zen is genji’s mentor

worthy rose
#

I know Genji meditates with zen

#

Oh

mossy hamlet
#

closest thing to a father figure, though not really

worthy rose
#

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

worthy rose
#

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

worthy rose
#

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

soft glen
#

are all omnics sentient

worthy rose
#

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

mossy hamlet
#

I mean, black watch is part of overwatch

#

so how would he be in black watch before overwatch

#

or am I missing something

worthy rose
#

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
