she probably also told them about Jack and Ana being alive

#

he didn't know at the time

rare trail
#

but does he know now?

uneven isle
peak escarp
rare trail
#

how would he find out?

peak escarp
#

we haven't see her tell him, but Mercy knows and would probably tell him

#

when she returns to Overwatch

chilly wind

Why Overwatch 2 is actually PVZ Garden Warfare 2
————————————————
Mercy = sunflower
Tracer = peashooter
Soldier 76 = foot soldier
DVA + Reaper = Zombie imp
Doomfist = Super Brainz
Moira = The Scientist
Zarya = All-Star

uneven isle
#

So like, the interactions between ana and reinhardt arent canon?

#

when he talks about her being alive

dense nebula
#

Yep

#

In game interactions aren’t usually canon

uneven isle
#

ah

icy inlet
#

Is Junker Queen gay? I’m curious

limpid agate
#

There is nothing to suggest her sexuality

peak escarp
#

we don't know her sexuality

rare trail
rare trail
#

i get cassidy but tracer?

#

rein is more all star

worthy rose
#

Who would win in a fight? Hammond (no mech) or blodlusted primal rage Winston

ivory garnet
rare trail
ivory garnet
#

only part of overwatch that isnt canon is most of the skins and PvP

#

most voicelines are canon

limpid agate
#

The voicelines suggest canon

#

They themselves are not actually conversations that are canonically held

worthy rose
limpid agate
#

But they represent canon through what they say about the character's past, beliefs, and identity

worthy rose
#

Sit on him

limpid agate
#

Winston is arguably the strongest hero in the Overwatch universe.

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

Winston wins even if Ball is in mech most likely

rare trail
#

and sigma

worthy rose
#

I Wanna see him create a black hole

limpid agate
#

Winston is stronger than Doomfist

rare trail
#

really?

ivory garnet
limpid agate
#

Yes

#

Winston beat Doomfist in a fist fight. And that was with the Doomfist gauntlet

rare trail
#

he lost to winston in a 1v3 to be fair

ivory garnet
#

1v1

limpid agate
#

Doomfist using the gauntlet lost in a fist fight to winston.

ivory garnet
#

Doom no-diffed tracer and Genji

rare trail
#

nah he fought tracer and genji right before that right

limpid agate
#

Tracer and Genji were irrelevant

ivory garnet
#

it wasnt a competition though

rare trail
#

so like he was "weakened"

ivory garnet
#

not at all

#

they didnt tire him or hit him once

#

Doom broke tracers thingy and broke part of Genji’s mechanics

worthy rose
#

Doom is literally 2nd strongest

ivory garnet
#

nope

worthy rose
#

Yes

ivory garnet
#

atleast 6th or 5th

ivory garnet
#

in physical strength he is arguably the strongest, if not winston

rare trail
#

we're talking about the doomfist origin story right?

ivory garnet
#

yep

chilly wind
rare trail
#

bc it technically didnt show winston beating doom

ivory garnet
#

Winston beat doom

rare trail
#

it just cut away

limpid agate
#

The contenders for the strongest hero are:

  • Orisa
  • WInston
  • Sigma
  • Symmetra
#

In no particular order

rare trail
#

sym? orisa?

ivory garnet
#

yeah

limpid agate
#

There is no correct answer because we dont have enough info.

rare trail
#

why?

dense nebula
limpid agate
#

But those 4 are the contenders for strongest

ivory garnet
#

Sym’s hardlight is OP and Orisa beat Doom twice

limpid agate
#

Doomfist is up there in strength. He could be second. He could be 5th. But wherever he is, he is below Winston.

#

If Winston is #1, Doomfist can be #2. If Winston is #3, Doomfist can be no higher than #4.

rare trail
ivory garnet
#

we legit know he lost

rare trail
#

he was eventually jailed but we dont know how that fight turned out

limpid agate
#

We do know

ivory garnet
#

yes, we do

rare trail
#

how it cuts away

limpid agate
#

The origin short tells us

#

The bio tells us

#

Voicelines in OW1 tell us

#

The twitter lore for Storm Rising tells us

ivory garnet
#

no one else would be able to capture Doomfist other than Winston at that time

limpid agate
#

The devs in interviews tells us

#

The fucking kid from the first cinematic trailer tells us

ivory garnet
#

yep, then after 6 years in prison he breaks out and goes to raid Numbani and gets utterly wiped by Orisa

dense nebula
#

Headcanons give me a headache

ivory garnet
#

same

rare trail
#

what comics/shorts does orisa beat doom?

ivory garnet
#

her comic

limpid agate
#

Hero of Numbani

#

Not a comic

#

Its a novel

#

And that was a weakened version of Orisa

ivory garnet
#

my bad

limpid agate
#

Before her upgrades to her OW1 state

#

And before her further upgrades to her OW2 state

dense nebula
#

I like to think the battle was equally matched, but apparently she wipes the floor with Doomfist

ivory garnet
#

she does

#

a punch from Doomfist didnt damage her

dense nebula
#

And I’m supposed to take Doom seriously if he can’t even match her?

limpid agate
#

Orisa is powerful

dense nebula
#

Doom ain’t even a threat anymore in lore, Winston beats him, Orisa beats him

ivory garnet
#

his raw strength is amazing, but apparently not against Winston or Orisa’s durab

rare trail
#

i think sigma can wipe any hero

dense nebula
#

Mfw they guy known for powerful punching is at his strongest when not fighting

worthy rose
#

I wanna see mechless Hamston tank dva’s ult

rare trail
#

like what are you gonna do if he just turns gravity off on you

worthy rose
limpid agate
#

We dont know Sigma or Symmetra's limits or full capabilities

ivory garnet
#

although, a big thing is. Orisa was made to direct counter Doomfist, so it can be implied that she is either one of the strongest, or just a better hero to fight against Doom

rare trail
#

what is syms hard light?

#

what does it do?

limpid agate
#

Everything

ivory garnet
#

its either been stated ir shown to make a 1km high hammer

limpid agate
#

Its like the green lantern but without the space flight

ivory garnet
#

basically yeah

rare trail
#

bro what

#

thats op as all hell

ivory garnet
#

thats a good way to put it

limpid agate
#

She can do some things the Green Lantern cant too

rare trail
#

but then again turn gravity off

limpid agate
#

Like teleports or autonomous structures

rare trail
#

reaper seems like he should win all the time

#

being able to turn into smoke is really good

#

but he just

limpid agate
#

Code of Violence shows us that Reaper is much more mortal than he looks

rare trail
#

loses

#

all the time

limpid agate
#

He can do that, but he has to do it on command

ivory garnet
#

reaper definitely has good potential though

rare trail
#

widow is weak af

limpid agate
#

Yeah

ivory garnet
#

but i dont know if the writers will get to that point

rare trail
#

shes just a girl who can shoot good

ivory garnet
#

i mean technically so is every other sharp shooter

rare trail
#

cassidy is dumb with all the shit he can do

#

duel the entirety of deadlock gang and win

ivory garnet
#

he only has stun and good shooting skills

#

and a good battle strategist

#

not as good as Reaper and others ofc

rare trail
#

has winston ever gotten hurt?

ivory garnet
#

yeah

worthy rose
#

Yes

rare trail
#

like he seems kinda unkillable

worthy rose
#

He got smacked

ivory garnet
#

no he is just the main character

rare trail
#

like you shoot a gun at him andhe just shrugs it off

#

makes his fight scenes borign

dense nebula
#

Ngl, I want them to develop Tracer’s character in kind of a dark way

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

killing Emily would be crazy tbh

dense nebula
#

Bruh how tf did you know I was gonna say that?

ivory garnet
#

LOL

rare trail
#

death blossom is canon right?

worthy rose
#

I hope wodoake gets her hand shot off by Ana

#

Widoaker*

#

Widow

ivory garnet
worthy rose
#

The spider lady

ivory garnet
#

that was in the Overwatch 1 Trailer cinematic ic

rare trail
#

i want ana and widow to duel again

dense nebula
#

But yeah, have Tracer try to encourage an old Overwatch agent to come back, fail at that. And have the agent turn out to be an assassin for Talon that murders Emily to get to Tracer and have her lose her will to fight

#

I’m fucking evil

worthy rose
rare trail
#

i think cassidy could beat a lot of the cast

ivory garnet
#

Ana is stated to be the better shot, but she couldnt take the life because she hesitated because she saw it was Gerard’s wife

worthy rose
rare trail
#

i think he could

ivory garnet
#

just a normal human being with a good shot

#

he could beat like

#

10 maybe

worthy rose
dense nebula
#

In 1 on 1 scenarios maybe

ivory garnet
#

he doesnt use that arm

limpid agate
#

Rows are sorted alphabetically

ivory garnet
#

its very hard to say who is stronger than who unless its obvious

limpid agate
#

Could use some adjustment in the middle rows

#

Since I just threw this together in 4 minutes

dense nebula
#

Tracer seems more like an A than S ngl

#

Same with Hammond

worthy rose
#

Hammond is top tier

limpid agate
#

Hammond is a mech champion in a mech of unknown but presumably high power and durability

ivory garnet
rare trail
limpid agate
#

He is probably stronger than Junkerqueen

worthy rose
limpid agate
dense nebula
limpid agate
#

No, he literally cant

#

Thats the point of Echo

worthy rose
#

No

#

He can

rare trail
ivory garnet
limpid agate
#

She doesnt copy memories

worthy rose
#

He’s smarter

#

He’s better

limpid agate
#

!!shitposting

twilit nacelleBOT
#

Shitposting will result in a loss of access.

rare trail
#

he should win

limpid agate
#

The thing you need to compare here is

ivory garnet
#

being a better strategist wont always give you the win

limpid agate
#

Cassidy is a very good shot (not the best) with good strategy

dense nebula
worthy rose
#

How are you gonna decide a winner based on abilities alone 🗿

dense nebula
#

He was by all means superior than Genji/Tracer/Winston but lost due to underestimating Winston’s strength in Primal Rage

limpid agate
#

Echo is a copy of Cassidy's skill with the gun, plus Tracer's, plus Baptiste's, plus Sojourn's, plus she can fly, plus she can also shoot missles and lasers out of her hands, plus any other hidden powers that she has hiding up her sleeve

#

Echo is powerful

#

Cassidy is just a good shot

rare trail
limpid agate
#

Im not talking about in game

rare trail
#

can she copy anyone on the fly?

limpid agate
#

We dont know her limits yet

ivory garnet
#

not that i think, she has to have prior knowledge

worthy rose
rare trail
#

has she ever copied anyone on the fly?

ivory garnet
#

not shown

limpid agate
#

She can replicate medical professionals

#

And we have seen her replicate Tracer's piloting

rare trail
#

idk like shes gotta be shot once and shes done

worthy rose
#

Sombra is literally in the process of hacking her 🗿

limpid agate
#

Thats another thing

#

Sombra cant hack her

rare trail
#

if sombra is in the process of hacking her thats crazy

limpid agate
#

Echo is the one machine in the world she cant hack

rare trail
#

like sombra is the best hacker in the world

worthy rose
rare trail
#

if she cant hack echo echo is cool

ivory garnet
#

but she hasnt disabled or taken over her

dense nebula
worthy rose
dense nebula
#

Sorry that slipped out

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

she hasnt, its been shown she couldnt

worthy rose
ivory garnet
worthy rose
#

I don’t like sombra either way

rare trail
ivory garnet
#

interactions, some are canon, some suggest canon, some arent canon

rare trail
worthy rose
#

I’m not disagreeing, I just wanna know who said that

ivory garnet
#

he does

#

just we dont know what they are

rare trail
#

thats weak

ivory garnet
#

we will find out in the PvE most likely

#

as theres a mission about him and Genji

limpid agate
#

Fair I dropped Zen

rare trail
#

theres gonna be some cool interactions there

ivory garnet
#

PvE will help alot

rare trail
#

given he led him out of a dark part of his life yk

#

pve will be canon right?

ivory garnet
#

yes

#

its about the coming of the 2nd Omnic Crisis I believe

#

based off of all the seen footage

#

so Null Sector and Talon vs Overwatch and allies

#

as Torb is shown helping

#

and Bastion possibly apart of either Torbs guild or overwatch

rare trail
#

and lucio right?

limpid agate
#

The second omnic crisis is the war in Russia

#

Its not about that

#

Its about Null Sector's invaston and Talon

rare trail
#

sym is from russia right?

ivory garnet
#

no

#

india

limpid agate
#

No

#

Zarya is from Russia

#

Symmetra is from India

rare trail
#

i thought they were in russia in her cinematic?

#

please stop shitposting

ivory garnet
rare trail
#

when did genji get half killed

limpid agate
#

A decade ago

west dirge
#

For the story mode of Overwatch, whenever that comes out, do we have any idea if any of the characters are going to die? My best guess is Rein or Doomfist but aside from them I don't think blizzard would kill anyone else off

ivory garnet
#

no one will die

#

Theres also 0 reason to kill off either of them. Killing Doom would ruin the story

#

and Reinhardt has 0 reason to die

#

maybe taken out of service, but not die

west dirge
#

Ah alright, thanks

limpid agate
#

Heroes will not

#

Maximillien for example is not a hero

#

They can kill him off

#

But they wont kill off Reaper or Torbjorn

opaque tundra
#

So I read the short story and I have some things I wanna point out

  1. Did Ramattra leave the monastery and not tell Zen? I don't think the battered omnic was Zen.
  2. What's the context behind Ramattra "almost getting Zenyatta killed"? I wanna see that story
  3. Ok Ramattra is DEFINITELY involved in Mondatta's murder
limpid agate
#

The battered omnic was not Zen

#

He had already known Zen for years by this point

#

Cant answer 2, we dont know that yet

#

And I dont think he was involved in Mondatta's assassination

#

Voicelines will give insight into 2 and 3 though

opaque tundra
#

Oh yeah and my fourth point is about Ramatrra imprisoning omnics or something (I gotta reread that part). Is that why we see those two omnics getting snatched in the PvE footage? It's interesting to see just how far Ram is going

past copper
#

Just throwing this out now

#

The Arctic skins we see on Overwatch members make sense now

#

They’re about to locate and fight Ramattra in his home base

#

Reminder tho, when did Ramattra meet with Doomfist? Bc Storm Rising was like 2 years after Uprising I think

peak escarp
#

Storm Rising was 6 years ago

#

Uprising was 7 years ago

round crag
#

guys i loved it when winston and tracer beat doomfist while rammatra backflipped and killed doomfist

peak escarp
#

don't make things up

worn lake
#

does zen dislike ram

#

for his methods of esablishing peace

peak escarp
#

probably

#

we haven't heard his opinion yet

worthy rose
#

Doesnt zen and ram want the same objective?

#

Like peace

#

But ramattra in a very awful way

peak escarp
#

yes

wide knot
#

Yes

#

Like thanos

craggy needle
#

Like eren 💀

dull zephyr
# limpid agate The second omnic crisis is the war in Russia

well, sorta.

it seems that a master program called a "god program" was in charge of the first division of null sector, his name was Anubis. It was more of a hive mind that controlled the other units in the first version of null sector during the omnic crisis.

The omnic uprising is what rammatra is leading with a new version of null sector.

limpid agate
#

That's all wrong

dull zephyr
#

There was the second and first omnic crisis in the initial war no?

limpid agate
#

No

dull zephyr
#

I mean it says in the thing right here that

limpid agate
#

The First Omnic Crisis was the war 30 years ago. It was started by Anubis, which was a rogue AI. It was not related to Null Sector

dull zephyr
#

Yes

limpid agate
#

The Second Omnic Crisis is also unrelated to Null Sector

dull zephyr
#

Wait what

limpid agate
#

The omnium in Siberia just started churning out crisis era omnics for a mysterious purpose. You can speculate the purpose is related to Null Sector, but based on what we've seen, they're just standard fare akin to what Anubis built.

#

And it started doing that in the past few years

#

Long after Uprising

#

The King's Row Uprising was an isolated incident by Null Sector 7 years ago

#

Its not the Second Omnic Crisis

limpid agate
#

The stuff we see in Zero Hour is also not the Second Omnic Crisis

dull zephyr
#

so null sector was a thing before rammatra right?

limpid agate
#

No

#

Ramattra is the founder of Null Sector

dull zephyr
#

oh....

limpid agate
#

We see the moment it was created in that short story

#

Nameless tells him to give the organization a name

#

That organization becomes Null Sector

dull zephyr
#

oh ok

#

that makes sense

#

so question @limpid agate

#

the kings row uprising mission in 2017

#

was that coordinated by null sector?

limpid agate
#

Correct

dull zephyr
#

ok so rammatra began considering on making null sector 11 years before the events overwatch 2 right @limpid agate

limpid agate
#

No

dull zephyr
#

The king's row uprising was 7 years ago

limpid agate
#

12 years before OW2, 11 before OW1

dull zephyr
#

oh ok gotcha

#

huh wild, alright.

#

Idk I feel like that oddly enough makes rammatra feel a bit more uhhh

#

dumb ish if I had to word it. Considering that mondatta and others were making omnics more accepted

limpid agate
#

In some parts of the world only.

#

They are accepted in Numbani and in Japan.

#

They are slaves in the UK

#

They are executed in Junkertown

dull zephyr
#

ye JT is kinda

#

a wild land

#

ik about the uk but by the time mondatta arrived why would

#

slaves be able to join a public protest speaker rally and have relationships with humans...

limpid agate
#

What

dull zephyr
#

King's row is in england

limpid agate
#

Yes

dull zephyr
#

there are tons of omnics here in this time frame

limpid agate
#

Yes

dull zephyr
#

with humans

#

in public protesting to further omnic rights

limpid agate
#

Further?

#

They already dont have any

#

!!londoncalling

twilit nacelleBOT
dull zephyr
#

sense to say they don't have absolutely any

#

they may have less rights sure

limpid agate
#

That takes place in present day.

#

That's 7 years after Uprising

dull zephyr
#

yeah. Iget that

#

but why is rammatra pursuing his goals when present day is well

#

this

#

sure there's junkertown but most of Europe and the U.S is fairly different in their stances on omnics in the modern day

#

why isn't he like oh idk

#

spending his time focusing his efforts in areas where omnics are being murdered....

#

like australia

limpid agate
#

He is spending his time focusing his efforts in areas where omnics are being murdered

#

London is one of those places

dull zephyr
limpid agate
#

Yes.

dull zephyr
#

Then why are all these omnics allowed to participate in a public rally that is being supported and secured by london security?

limpid agate
#

Ther eis a difference between oppression and genocide you know...

dull zephyr
#

Ok sure there's probably the occasional hate crime but why would you focus your efforts in a region that's actually progressing and actually supporting positive policies towards omnics instead of idk

#

russia

#

or australia

dull zephyr
#

lets say this

limpid agate
#

Okay lets pause

#

What do you think Ramattra's goal is

dull zephyr
#

To preserve omnics as a species and people no matter the cost

dense nebula
#

Not people

#

He couldn’t care less about humanity now

dull zephyr
limpid agate
#

Okay. So if his goal is to preserve omnics as a species.

dull zephyr
#

his people

dense nebula
#

He’s willing to genocide humanity to preserve omnic kind

limpid agate
#

Why would he go to places where Omnics dont exist.

dull zephyr
#

people doesn't

limpid agate
#

The omnics in the Russian Crisis are mindless drones

dull zephyr
# dense nebula He’s willing to genocide humanity to preserve omnic kind

Introducing Ramattra.

The leader of Null Sector is on a mission to create a better world for Omnics… no matter what it takes.

I just mean this (time frame in link)

limpid agate
#

The omnics in Australia are wastelanders and nearly extinct thanks to Junkerqueen

limpid agate
#

Yes.

#

Did you read the short story?

#

They're just Bastions

#

And spider tanks

#

Standard fare as what Anubis generated, and what Ramattra made for the Uprising

dull zephyr
#

huh

#

Ok

#

I think I kinda disregarded that when I saw volksaya doing black market trading with an omnic

#

my bad

limpid agate
#

So I ask again. Why would he go fight a war in a place where he doesnt have people to save

#

No, she did do black market trading with an omnic

#

They were implied to be from Numbani

dull zephyr
#

is the whole world really in this state where there are no countries that are practically treating omnics like slaves and no countries that are actively genociding the omnic populations they have (with some level of a population still being there)

limpid agate
#

There are countries that are practically treating omnics like slaves

dull zephyr
#

because russia has no omnics and australia has very few

limpid agate
#

The UK is one

#

That's why he did the Uprising

dull zephyr
#

nah the uprising makes sense tbh

limpid agate
#

Present day Overwatch absolutely is one

dull zephyr
#

I was all for that

#

what do you mean by present day overwatch treats omnics like slaves?

limpid agate
#

Have you read London Calling, I linked it

#

It was not a good comic series, but it goes into detail about the conditions in the UK

dull zephyr
#

the omnics in that comic

#

are relatively close in time period to the omnics in the alive cinematic?

limpid agate
#

They take place at the same time

#

Issue 2 is literally Alive

#

Did you not read it

dull zephyr
rare trail
#

so why is sigma in talon

#

like does he want to be there

wary tartan
#

hampter

wary tartan
# rare trail so why is sigma in talon

sigma got rescued by talon from his emo cage and was tricked and manipulated by talon to become a weapon, so sigma doesn’t even really know he’s in talon

dense nebula
#

But he’s also given access to a lot of technology and resources for his research

#

It’s complicated with Sigma and Talon

wary tartan
#

sigma is the nicest character imo he’s just used for the wrong reasons

dense nebula
#

Ngl I feel like they’re too scared to actually force him to do things

#

Considering he could snap and rip someone apart at their molecules

wary tartan
#

no i don’t think so, he is mostly contained and doesn’t seem to know many emotions such as anger. i could be wrong but tell me if i am

dense nebula
#

By snap I don’t mean go angry

#

By snap I mean he goes bonkers

grim ledge
#

Ok tell me the lore of fnaf

clever abyss
opaque tundra
#

This is kinda irrelevant now but I saw some numbers going on and I realized we have an idea of when Zen entered the monastery.
So Zen is about 21 in OW2
-1 year to recall
-7 years to Uprising
-4 years since Ramattra left the monastery
-3 years since he "dreamt of peace" with Zen.
Assuming those three years ago was when he met Zen and introduced him into the monastery, Zen became a monk 15 years ago. This means Zen was about 6 when he joined. That's 6 years of a past we know nothing about. I'm glad I figured out irrelevant information for no one in particular

#

Well it helps with timelines at least

opaque tundra
#

Some voice lines do represent the opinions and feelings of characters

rare trail
#

yeah pretty fucked up that sigma said that

#

he killed winstons gorilla dad :(

#

(ik hes saying he killed the scientist winston)

opaque tundra
#

Winston human was jumped by the monkeys

clever abyss
opaque tundra
#

I think he's just depressed idk man

rare trail
#

the voice line of reaper to mercy "you did this to me" wouldve made great lore if they expanded on it

#

and deleted moira

drifting palm
#

I soaked like 50k dmg with Reinhardt last game and still lost

32k miti with 21 deaths

Wrong channel

#

💀

peak escarp
#

Moira makes much more sense

shadow marsh
limpid agate
#

Probably about as well as the US handles anything well.

#

Lots of people are pro omnic, and lots are anti omnic

#

That's kind of the story behind Hollywood as a map

shadow marsh
#

Although some pvp map locations aren't 100% we do see service omnics in midtown and Hollywood

#

However we know an omnic like Bob who raised ashe since her childhood

#

Ah I see

#

So they handle it pretty well

limpid agate
#

Well in their case, they're just people that have jobs

#

There are multiple omnic celebrities too

ivory garnet
#

it would ruin Mercy’s ideology if she did that to reaper

#

voice lines indicate she wants to help Reaper

#

Mercy: Im not giving up on you Reyes
Reaper: I wish you would

ivory garnet
dense nebula
#

Basically depends on where you go

#

We got 50 states

#

One of em will work

rare trail
peak escarp
#

Mercy is far from perfect

#

she has flaws like anyone else

ivory garnet
#

she just isnt maniacal like Moira who expirements and only hope her subjects dont die

#

Mercy commented on how she hates Moira’s expirements

past copper
#

I mean, when you think about it, it mostly depends on how widely affected the US was

#

During the Omnic Crisis

#

We hear about the war hitting other countries harder than others

#

But don’t really know just how hard the US was hit

#

Also, just a theory

#

But what if Ramattra’s friends who abandoned him were the cause of the Russian Omnium re-activating?

#

So little we know about them, but that Nameless has me concerned

peak escarp
#

why?

past copper
#

Nameless did basically say the war never ended and seems they’re all for killing humans

#

They just weren’t on board with Ram’s change of plans for omnics

#

And there’s no telling what they and their friend did after abandoning Ramattra

#

But I doubt they’d give up on their people

peak escarp
#

probably won't come up again for a long while

rare trail
#

Talon wants to start a war and the survivors will be strong right?

#

And ramattra just wants all the humans gone

#

What I don’t get is that like shouldn’t they kinda be at odds given doom fist presumably doesn’t want every human to die

past copper
#

Also, this probably doesn’t matter, but who would think it was Cole who possibly killed Lanet at King’s Row

past copper
#

And Ramattra seeks to create a better world for all omnics. Doing so requires a war

rare trail
#

Yeah so ig ramattra is willing to keep a few humans alive if it means being on talons good side

past copper
#

Possibly, but that only depends if they benefit him in his endeavors

rare trail
#

Like my idea is that talon and null sector just kinda make a big war happen

#

They’re kinda like the baddies in mgr

past copper
#

Doomfist and Talon have resources Ramattra and Null Sector need to strike back against humanity

rare trail
#

Actually doom and senator armstrong have really similar morals

#

Also what resources does talon have like a few heroes?

#

Ig they have the most powerful hero

past copper
#

Both goals are similar. And both lead to war that ends with the strong rising and the weak dying

rare trail
#

Because talon has a good hacker a good sniper reaper who’s pretty bad at what he does doom who’s pretty powerful and sigma who’s the most powerful imo

past copper
#

Talon has money and access to a number of resources. Such as from Sanjay in Vishkar and Akande’s own family company

rare trail
#

And maximileans stuff

#

But overwatch is way way way more powerful

past copper
#

Point is. Ramattra requires such resources in order to build his army

#

And Overwatch isn’t more powerful

#

They’re going in against Null Sector and Talon without help from the UN

#

All while going against the Petras Act

rare trail
#

Winston solos all of talon though besides sigma but he’s too much of a loose cannon to be useful

#

Orisa can beat doom

#

Orisa isn’t in ow though

#

But like Winston beats everyone in talon besides for sigma

#

I think overwatch is more powerful

past copper
#

It’s not. Realistically. They’re not and Winston’s had help in most of those situations

rare trail
#

Than talon

past copper
#

So no the best example

rare trail
#

Wdym tracer and genji got easily shut down by doom

#

Then Winston beat him

#

Gauntlet and all

past copper
#

And you think Doomfist wouldn’t be prepared and learn from his loss?

rare trail
#

Would winston have learnt nothing by fighting doom?

past copper
#

He fought Doom once. And only once. Not much for him to learn from.

#

And unlike Doom, doesn’t have as many resources at his disposal

#

Example. While Winston was busy trying to build a barrier, Doomfist can easily upgrade his cybernetics

rare trail
#

In the only fight we have of them Winston won

past copper
#

He easily showed how quickly he can learn

#

Hence how he destroyed Genji and Tracer

rare trail
#

He didn’t quickly learn against Winston

past copper
#

Yea and yet we don’t even know how that fight went down

#

Only how it ended

rare trail
#

We know doom lost

past copper
#

Yea and it’s not like Winston KOed him in one punch

rare trail
#

He still won though he’s more powerful as far as we know

#

And doom is like second strongest in talon

#

Power ranking in talon is sigma doom reaper sombra Moira widow

#

Although Sanjay might be able to get talon hard light which would balance things

molten shore
#

Is bastions design based off of Shockwave from transformers

rare trail
#

I doubt it but they’re pretty similar

#

Also about overwatchs power Winston is just one hero and he beats most of talon single-handedly

#

Like echo is super powerful give. She could just turn into Winston right?

#

And genji has a dragon

peak escarp
#

not a real dragon

rare trail
#

Yeah but yk what I mean like the green spirit thing

peak escarp
#

and Echo probably can't actually turn into anyone - she can just copy what they do

#

Winston wins because he's the main character and the plot needs him to win

rare trail
#

Winston op

noble pendant
#

Damn, that short story was bussin

rare trail
#

Which one?

keen summit
#

He can cut through anything but one good hit and hes out

molten shore
#

I feel like genji is really overrated I've heard people say he's top 3 strongest lore wise

limpid agate
#

He isnt

ivory garnet
#

near top 13 or 10

rare trail
#

He is strong though

#

Top three are sigma sym and orisa prolly

keen summit
molten shore
#

I think reaper d.va ( mech) hog zarya orisa wintone sigma are all stronger then genji

#

Hog probably not

#

Or maybe idk

worthy rose
#

Reinhardt, Winston, and Doomfist are superior

rare trail
#

Hog is weak imo

worthy rose
rare trail
#

Is his vape heal canon?

worthy rose
#

Winston is superior to Sigma

rare trail
molten shore
#

I feel like widow would beat genji in a 1v1 if she's smart

worthy rose
#

Yes I can do it too!

rare trail
#

Ripping you apart from a molecular level is stronger than monke punch

#

But it’s not stronger than main character syndrome so Winston ig

rare trail
#

It depends though

molten shore
# rare trail It depends though

Well widow would probably wait for a time he wouldn't expect her he didn't just kill mendata or whatever zens brothers name was

#

I'm referring to the alive cinematic

rare trail
#

Idk I don’t think good aim beats magic dragon

#

In a fair fight genji wins but if widow shot him from far away

molten shore
#

Exactly

#

Widow would fight him far away

rare trail
#

Btw widow is weak af

#

Shes accurate ig

#

Reaper is terrible at his job

molten shore
#

I think she was bad at close quarters combat

rare trail
#

I think talon isn’t that strong

#

Like sigma but they can’t control him

molten shore
#

I'd like more lucio lore

rare trail
#

You’ll probably get it

#

He’s in story mode so

worthy rose
last tapir
#

Sigma is actually so cute though I love him sm

#

I want to feed him soup.

simple egret
#

i feel like sigma as a whole is the most relatable character

#

most of his lore you can really feel how much pain he is in

keen summit
#

Also it confirmed in ran story that you can make mew omnics

half bane
#

Sigma protman

keen summit
#

just not sapient ones probs

Sigma’s real name is Prot Man

How long does the match penalty last

#

Why is bastion sentient but other bastion units were not? Also why is orisa also sentient if she was created by her own and not made with the rest of the sentient omnics?

#

Also why are snowball and echo also sentient?

Do we have any info on why it happened?

Is there a comic that explains the origins of omnics?

cobalt matrix
#

So makes sense

#

We'll probably learn more in the story mode since torb is there and because of that so will bastion

#

That and because he will have to be because he is still a character

#

God I wish they made an overwatch movie or series

I would kill for an anime / tv show

I havent read any of the comics so im not sure but if you do find it let me know!

#

So, betting on Ramattra voice lines/interactions with the following

#

Maps: King’s Row, Junkertown, Nepal, and Shambali Temple (not sure that the name)

#

Heroes: Zenyatta, Tracer, Reinhardt, Torbjörn, Cassidy, Bastion, Orisa, Doomfist

#

Listing off heroes who have a direct or indirect connection with Ramattra

#

Two of them actually know Ramattra, two actually have a connection based on units from the Crisis, and others are connected from their experiences with Null Sector at King’s Row

void thorn
#

how is orisa connected to ramattra?

tidal wren
#

ah ok thanks

rare trail
rare trail
#

she just became sentient bc uhhh uhm

summer tulip
#

What is the omnic lore? Are they man made?

past copper
#

Answering the first questions

#

Bastion was one of the unites from the Omnic Crisis. A unite that was supposed to be a mindless drone. The fact it has sentience now would intrigue Ramattra

#

Orisa was an OR-15 designed after the OR-14s from the Crisis. Ramattra is familiar with them and thought they were just mindless drones like bastions

summer tulip
#

What i can tell right now is that there were mindless robots, then one robot ascended to the iris, made everyone sentient

past copper
#

Given how unique Orisa is from those now would catch his interest in some way

summer tulip
#

But in ramattra story video he says that omnics race is only a single generation so they cant be made by humans anymore? Did they just forgor how the made them?

elfin frost
#

i assumed since they were given sentience once only ones that existed at the time got sentience

#

so even if mor are made they wont be sentient

past copper
#

Basically, omnics built before the crisis were given AI that gave them unique personalities. After the crisis, these omnics were no longer built and modern day omnics built are more or less robots with a single designation

#

Or how Ramattra likes to see it, as servants to humanity

silent schooner
#

I can imagine he would try to sway her to his side

cobalt matrix
#

Also wtf is the iris, is it from the same plane as the spirit fox and dragons?

#

Because we know there isn't magic so the spirits must be beings from another plane/reality/dimension

peak escarp
#

the Iris is a state of being, not an entity

cobalt matrix
#

Kinda like HP Lovecraft beings but instead of wanting chaos they just vibe

peak escarp
#

and the Iris wasn't involved in creating omnics

#

Omnica Corp made them

#

mostly pioneered by Dr. Mina Liao

#

Dr. Liao created Aurora, the first sapient omnic, who later gave sapience to all omnics by transcending into the Iris

past copper
#

Not to use this analogy to describe omnics but

#

Think of taking a step back from the roomba to the handheld vacuum to describe omnics before and after the war

cobalt matrix
#

Still, nothing would stop them from making new omnics if it truly depended on technology, they could always make another aurora if that was the case, no knowledge was lost due to the war and in fact the world became more advanced

Unlike the world of for example Warhammer, the knowledge of how they made robots before the war wasn't lost so nothing would stop ramatra from making new omnics with his vast resources if that was the case

cobalt matrix
#

Or whatever they are called

#

They need to explain it more because there sure are a lot of holes in the story about the omnics sentience

rare trail
#

like you can make non sentient ones

#

but not the kind ramattra is

summer tulip
#

Omnics are the sentient ones?

rare trail
#

kinda

#

omnics is just kinda the name for a brand of robots but when ramattra says a single generation he means only a single generation is sentient

summer tulip
#

Non sentient are just robots?

rare trail
#

yeah

#

omnics are also the name for those too sometimes

#

but the single generation ramattra is talking about is the sentient ones

peak escarp
#

non-sentient = drones

how can someone new to ow catch up on all lore in the easiest way possible

peak escarp
#

look in the pins on this channel

thank u

Can someone pls tell me what is up with sigma?

Also why can't omnics just build more omnics

#

saw people saying Hanzo would beat Tracer, gimme your thoughts. Cus personally, I see Tracer beating Hanzo easily

peak escarp
#

Hanzo has good reflexes

dense nebula
#

Hanzo has been trained to be a very sharp and accurate assassin with a bow. He can keep up with his brother in a head to head fight to the death. Tracer is unpredictable with movement but that’s really her only advantage imo

#

Hanzo is intelligent he can catch on to her blinks like Doomfist did

#

When Tracer fights she needs to end the battle fast otherwise her opponent catches on

peak escarp
#

I think it would be an even match

dense nebula
#

Depends on if Hanzo catches on fast enough

#

Also I really don’t like Tracer and any chance to see her get owned is a chance I’ll take

peak escarp
#

lol

#

understandable

worthy rose
#

Tracer also has pulse bombs and Hanzo never dealt with teleporters (Well she's not exactly a teleporter but it works the same)

valid jolt
#

why no more new omnic

peak escarp
#

because they can't give them sentience

valid jolt
#

if body break no repair?

#

westworld type?

#

who give them sentience before

static pike
#

overwatch is over us watching us

peak escarp
#

omnics can be repaired, but once they die they can't come back

valid jolt
#

what happen to aurora

peak escarp
#

she transcended into the Iris

rare trail
rare trail

if you make more omnics they wouldnt be sentient

#

Yo how did soldier and reaper die

#

And what did mercy do to reaper that she chooses not to remember

peak escarp
#

they didn't die

jaunty mantle
#

Oh

peak escarp
#

Mercy didnt do anything

rare trail
jaunty mantle
#

The wiki said there was a funeral held for soldier

rare trail
#

thats a fake one

#

he faked his death

jaunty mantle
#

Oh shit

peak escarp
#

Reaper got his powers from Moira

jaunty mantle
#

That’s crazy

#

Ahh talon

#

Right

rare trail
peak escarp
#

yes

#

it was a combination of factors

jaunty mantle
#

Woah that’s sick

#

Thanks y’all

#

Really appreciate it

rare trail
#

he went into the super soldier program then he was a part of overwatch then blackwatch then he almost died and moira "saved" him and gave him smoke power

#

i think

peak escarp
#

yes

#

although Moira had started experimenting on him before the explosion

#

so he has some wraith powers during Retribution

jaunty mantle
#

Which prevented him from dying completely I assume

peak escarp
#

yes

jaunty mantle
#

Also wtf is black watch we’re they bad guys before ow

#

Or like good guys

rare trail
#

grey

peak escarp
#

they were Overwatch's black ops division

rare trail
#

theyre a part of overwatch

#

but theyre like shady

jaunty mantle
#

Shady

#

Damn

#

Who was in it

peak escarp
#

they did the illegal stuff Overwatch wasn't supposed to do

jaunty mantle
#

Ohhhhhh

rare trail
jaunty mantle
#

Is that what lead to ow being deemed illegal

rare trail
#

i think moira

#

yes

peak escarp
jaunty mantle
#

That makes so much sense

#

Damn thanks 😄

rare trail
#

talon and blackwatch i get mixed up a lot

#

talon is sigma(although they dont ever use him) doomfist reaper sombra widow baptiste and moira

jaunty mantle
#

Yeah they share some of the members

#

So understandable

rare trail
#

although baptiste is ex talon

sullen raptor
jaunty mantle
#

Poor sig

rare trail
#

sig is kinda an asshole in voice lines

sullen raptor
#

I forgot the guy name..the one they shot through window

jaunty mantle
#

Sig prior to his memory loss?

peak escarp
#

Antonio

sullen raptor
#

Oh yeah him

rare trail
#

is his last name sigma?

peak escarp
#

no

#

Sigma isnt Antonio

rare trail
#

where did the name sigma come from

peak escarp
#

it was his designation in the quarantine facility

rare trail
#

how did Siebren de Kuiper turn into sigma

#

sigma was his designation?

#

like nickname?

peak escarp
#

yes

#

he was quarantined in a government facility after his accident for public safety

sullen raptor
#

Sigma..idk its just like quantum sound name, omega beta etc

#

So ofc its a nickname

past copper
#

So, anyone happy about the returning maps and wonder if Blizz changed them up?

peak escarp
#

since he couldn't control the gravitic anomalies around him

rare trail
#

is there a place to read all the characters voice lines?

peak escarp
#

on the wiki

past copper
#

So what weather affect you think Blizzard World is going to have?

#

My guess is rain

rare trail
#

i love sigmas on fire voice lines Burning brighter than a supernova!
The universe is singing to me!

past copper
#

Well, I can see where this inspiration for Junker Queen Zeus comes from

rare trail
#

sigma is mean in voicelines

past copper
#

Doubt she actually shoot lightning, but that is a fun reference from her Origin Short

merry mason
merry mason
past copper
#

Maybe. Though I always saw Blizzard World as tropical

merry mason
#

It's probably somewhere in California like the blizz hq is

past copper
#

Rain just seems to sound more realistic since there’s snow for Winter Wonderland

#

That said, maybe it is snow coming down as a blizzard

merry mason
#

yeah i hope they don't just reuse snow. also lol a blizzard at blizzard world

peak escarp
#

Blizzard World is in Irvine, CA

past copper
#

Thinking bout it

peak escarp
#

you can see the orange balloon in the distance

past copper
#

Blizzard World seemed to use snow machines

dense nebula
peak escarp
#

I dont think they're going to add any weather to the map

past copper
#

So if it is in Cali, probably is rain after all

dense nebula
#

Real talk, Blizzard World would not be successful Irl in California

#

It’s competing with not only Disneyland, but also Magic Mountain

past copper
#

Nah. I think it would

merry mason
#

I would not expect weather if it wasn't for them mentioning weather.

past copper
#

Video game themed theme park

dense nebula
#

The only evidence of that working irl is Super Nintendo World in Universal, and that’s not its own thing it’s attached to the Universal Park

merry mason
#

don't people go to orlando to see both disneyworld and universal studios? it could work like that

dense nebula
merry mason
#

I am not good at acronyms but i did forget

past copper
#

I’d personally love to see actual weather on the maps. Bring the maps to life and make it more interesting

dense nebula
#

Busch Gardens: Tampa, and SeaWorld Orlando

merry mason
#

Busch gardens is cool

merry mason
past copper
#

That didn’t stop people on Storm Rising

merry mason
#

was it just me or did necropolis have a sandstorm in the first week of OW2?

#

because I definetly played a match with a sandstorm

past copper
#

There’s weather affects coming to Overwatch 2, but I don’t think they specified only being PvE

#

Time of day changes are fine and dandy, but weather really gives life to the environment

#

Storms, rain, blizzards, sandstorms, etc. on certain maps

merry mason
#

it would certainly be cool, but you know, competitive integrity and all that.

past copper
#

It’s not like Blizzard would make the weather realistic in blinding the players

#

They literally had a weather affect near the end up Storm Rising and it didn’t hinder game play

#

So they can easily do the same thing for other maps

dense nebula
#

There’s a difference between a casual PvE environment and a high octane competitive PvP environment

rare trail
rare trail
#

hes ex talon

ivory garnet
#

so it doesnt matter

rare trail
#

well the past of characters matter

#

it matters genji was in shimada

ivory garnet
#

he’s overwatch now

ivory garnet
rare trail
#

its important that reaper was ex overwatch

ivory garnet
#

Bap didnt do anything huge besides “kill” Mauga

rare trail
#

it still matters that he was in talon though

ivory garnet
#

Reaper was a major aspect in Overwatch and Blackwatch so yes it matters for him

rare trail
#

him not doing anything "big" doesnt mean its not important

#

or not something to mention

#

i dont think talon makes a full team

#

like in 5v5

ivory garnet
#

no they dont

peak escarp
#

they need another support

rare trail
#

when they had bap they could make a full team right?

ivory garnet
#

mhm

#

could even make a 6v6 team

rare trail
#

yeah

#

doom sigma on tank reaper and sombra could be on damage and moira bap on support

ivory garnet
#

or widow

rare trail
#

widow could be damage too

#

although if there ever was a big fight between talon and overwatch sigma probably wouldnt fight

#

i dont think they can control him

ivory garnet
#

they are probably goingto use him as a trump card

#

Zarya vs Sigma possibly

rare trail
#

i mean i think hes the most powerful being in the world of overwatch but i dont think he would fight for talon

#

hes too crazy

ivory garnet
#

reaper is insane but he still fights

rare trail
#

yeah but sigma has no reason to fight

#

i think reaper fights because he agrees with doom

#

sombra fights because she gets paid i think

ivory garnet
#

we dont know that yet, all the implications are that he does want to fight though

rare trail
#

widow is just brainwashed or conditioned or whatever

ivory garnet
#

in his origin story

#

showing he wants to fight along with Talon

rare trail
#

uh when?

ivory garnet
#

especially when he yells “violence”

rare trail
#

he just got broken out by them

ivory garnet
#

he was in his suit in the frame so no

rare trail
#

why does he care about making humanity "stronger"

#

wearing a suit talon gave him isnt 100% he wants to fight for them

ivory garnet
#

that isnt his plausible reason, thats only doom’s reason

rare trail
#

like what does sigma gain

#

they cant kill him

#

they give him resources to do experiments maybe but we never see that

ivory garnet
#

not much to say on what is ideology is, we know basically 0 things abt him

#

there would be no reason for him to be an asset to Talon unless they were goinggto use him as a trump card

rare trail
#

i mean talon could just be keeping him even if they cant control him

ivory garnet
#

they just dont want him to get hurt or die possibly if they need him to fight

rare trail
#

just because they have him hidden somewhere doesnt mean they can control him

ivory garnet
#

he believes he has more freedom with Talon than he did when he was in prison, yet he is still imprisoned within Talon. They’ll use Sigma for a big event and battle

rare trail
#

we dont know that they can use him

#

i mean he might feel a debt to them bc they broke him out of prison but we dont know

ivory garnet
#

we also dont know alot of stuff but theres heavy speculations and implications of what can happen

rare trail
#

i dont think its reasonable to say that talon can use sigma just because they broke him out of prison

ivory garnet
#

obviously Sigma still has a grasp on reality. He knows he was being kept in a max security prison and knew he couldnt do anything. He still has a functioning human brain thats just fractured, he can make his own decisions as long as they are okay with Akande. If he didnt want to help Talon in battle or for battle he wouldnt like being with Talon

rare trail
#

whos akande?

#

doomfist?

peak escarp
#

yes

#

his full name is Akande Ogundimu

worn wolf
#

what are the current power rankings amongst heroes and where are we thinking rammatra will fit in?

rare trail
#

ramattra doesnt really have any abilities in lore

#

so

#

but current power rankings are like sigma orisa winston and sym at top

rare trail
worn wolf
#

excited to see where null leader lands

#

looks dope minus his clunky animations (dont know if changed yet)

rare trail
#

ramattra doesnt seem that strong based on what lore they'll probably put in

#

like maybe hes physically strong but no way hes beating sigma winston sym or orisa

#

probably like a or b tier though

worn wolf
rare trail
#

reasons for orisa sigma winston and sym being at the top
orisa-beat doom singlehandedly on multiple occasions
sigma-can control gravity
winston-beat doom singlehandedly and just wins all the time bc hes the main character
sym-has green lantern abilities basically and green lantern is overpowered as fuck if you think about it

rare trail
#

sigma is my favorite character

chrome plover
#

Issac newton is wallowing in his grave because of sigma

isacc newton shouldve gotten brain damage from a black hole

ruby steeple
#

i just pissed

slow fulcrum
#

i like balls,,, dm me

dense nebula
#

I feel like Ram has the potential to be stronger than Orisa

#

Main point being Orisa was specially designed to fight Doomfist, so she’ll have a hard time trying to to adapt to fighting other people

#

And Ramattra’s Nemesis Form seems like it’ll be quite strong in lore if he uses it as a sort of last resort to all out sort of thing

rare trail
#

nemisis form is just strong yk

#

its not like special or anything

#

winston is just strong as well but hes the main character so he wins all the time

dull path
#

sigma needs some more lore focus i think

peak escarp
#

Sigma isnt very important to the story

#

I'd prefer for the lore to focus on the central characters

mossy hamlet
#

I think ramattra could maybe change the top 5 a little, because of everything he’s got going for him

#

-ravager unit; made to be an omnic commander elite essentially
-brilliant mind, from what we’ve been told about him
-nemesis form
-nanites

#

though I’m not good at powerscaling nor do I really care half the time, so I could be wrong

rare trail
rare trail
#

like hes part of whatever talon is planning

and i sure love me some sigma so i wouldnt be opposed

Is there mercy and moira lore?

like is there lore between mercy and moira?

Yeah like any in detail stuff or is there just the voicelines

rare trail
#

mercy and moira individually have lore but id ont think theyve met

#

presumably they dont like eachother given ones in overwatch and the others in talon

last tapir

I thought they used to work with eachother but It might have not been canon

well moira was in blackwatch
