oh, i see! so it's more subtle than i thought, that slipped my mind
then what even is ana's eye in the botanist skin supposed to be? hmm
ok..................................
Who is your fav villain in overwatch lore?
Lmao
the cinematic trailer children
Ramattra
Ramattra has overtaken Doomfist as my favorite villain
He just has a better villainous goal in my opinion
he's just so charming and charismatic
more casualties
i think
Doomfist 
not every skin is canon
Ramattra
I like doomfist and his flawed logic but i like ramattras voice lines in game more
I think he looks cooler
His backstory is cool
And he is connected to zenyatta whos my favourite character in the game
Fun fact: if Lúcio dies by Reinhardt's charge, he has a specific voice line that plays when he respawns.
is genji a robot
HANZO wants to ride Orissa's back
Who doesn't
he's a cyborg
What is it 
So like.. the dots/lights on omnic foreheads... the omnics all have different amounts of lights and such, do they mean anything specific, or related to the model, or is it just purely for cosmetic?
they're just sensors
Ohhh they are??
We see that ramattra has got eyes under his mask, so im gonna assume that the other omnics have them too.. so what exactly would the sensors be there for if they have eyes that (should) work?
Or am I just thinking too hard about how omnics work. But I'm genuinely interested by them
Do we have a guage on how powerful kirikos fox spirit is
Not really all we know is what’s in the short
Alright thank you
Maybe dragon strength given she trained with Shimada
That would make sense
But i know the dragon spirits are hard to guage (in relation to other characters “power level”)even tho they have extra lore
I wonder if like genjis mom and dad had dragons
I would think so
At least one
Unless you can inherit it through marrige, like if the spirit chooses someone who is worthy?
Or maybe its just the bloodline
"Honestly, getting knocked out by Reinhardt Wilhelm? Kind of an honor."
It's crazy to me because I’ve never heard of a respawn voice line like this before.
Didn’t even think they were a thing.
I didn’t know if respawn ones but I knew a few like how Lucio says “does this make you a dead beat” to reaper when he kills reaper
No, this is when he respawns after getting killed by Rein. I even got a video of it.
That’s cool
It makes me wonder… how many other voice lines are there?
it would be cool to have a gamemode with lore accurate teams, u know like the overwatch team, talon, etc
or just "good vs bad"
fr
I dont think the most recent pinned message works?
the link just leads to an error page
Tank and support section will be always eith good side lol
With*
her fox spirit is just the thing in the short of her’s
its nothing like the dragons
Its a support fox so...theres really no measure how strong it is
🤷♀️
So how did junkrat even get into the team
What are you talking about
He isnt on any team
The Junkers aren't a team. That's like saying people from New York is a team.
That being said, he got kicked out of the Junkers
I think they mean the overwatch team? Consirering lore channel
My bad?? Calm down I'm literally new
Yeah I'm new so I don't know much of the lore
Just dont bother and enjoy the game lol, youll probably find out more over time and it will be less confusing than if you were told all of it in a rush
@worthy rose No worries, sorry if it sounded too abrassive, I was confused what you were talking about
Not all the heroes are part of Overwatch
Some are villains lo
Here is an image of alliances put together by Doctor Six
The Junkers, Hanzo, Kiriko, and Symmetra are mostly neutral
Symmetra and Sigma are kinda neutral kinda not
They dont know they're working for terrorists
Oh
Let's discuss moira's anime list
wdym former shimada did hanzo lose his last name?
The Shimada Clan. He left it after he thought he killed Genji, and then it was dissolved by Overwatch
that would be really cool like a few fights from the shorts but playable
like a really powerful doom vs genji tracer and winston
can you really count kiriko as former shimada? she was a kid, she didn't work for them.
she was part of their sphere of influence, and grew up with the brothers
her mother and father both worked for them
does she know genji is alive?
not yet
like what does the public know about genji like presumably they know about the giant fight between hanzo and genji and they know about cyborg ninja man in overwatch but they dont know its genji?
correct
why doesnt winston or mercy like release that information?
why would they?
i mean like it would let genji have a more normal life you know
like he doesnt have id or anything rn he cant live normally
why wouldn't he have ID?
who says he can't live normally?
the public doesn't need to know his identity for him to have a normal life
I understand kirikos relationship with the family but she never actually did work for them. Pharah grew up around overwatch but nobody would call her "former overwatch" (even though that wouldn't affect her placing in the their list
Pharah was never considered a member of Overwatch (until Cassidy recruited her)
that is my point
Kiriko and her family were part of the Shimada clan
not family members, but part of their empire
not everyone in a yakuza clan is blood related to the head of the clan
she was neither blood related or a member of the organization (yet) she was very close and she was sympathetic to them but just because her parents joined doesn't mean she automatically does
like genji shimada is dead
just get a fake id or say he's the other " genji shimada the ninja"
lots of people have the same name
Genji could just get a new ID through Overwatch
or just live without one
he's basically a hermit, probably not much need for an ID
I thought only Lucio personally dislikes Symmetra?
Vishkar takes over neighborhoods in the name of progress and enforces tight curfews and exploits the people
they're typical corporate greed
Oh.. is Symmetra aware of what's happening?
Is echo sentient? From what I've heard she's just an AI learning, and AI isn't necessarily sentient like zenyatta, mundatta, and rammatra is
Because they gained conciousness echo seems to have just been built to act concious
anything that has senses is sentient
the word you're looking for is sapient
as for that... 🤷♀️
what's the difference between acting sapient and actually being sapient?
because you're not actually sapient?
You're not actually present in reality you're not an entity
zenyatta litterally has like magic he "woke up"
I mean what difference does it make?
but echo is just a robot
Ones fake ones real
Echo was programmed to act like she's living, zen and rammatra are actually living
It's just a question
a question we don't know the answer to
Ok
She's an adaptive AI so kind of
hi i just started playing mercy... is 5-7k healing good or no?
So she's not "awaken" like zenyatta is
she hasn't seen the iris or anything like that she's just a regular old robot
I should've asked if she had a soul like zenyatta and rammatra have
omnics have souls but echo isnt an omnic
well some omnics have souls
the ones that were around when aurora ascended are
Makes sense
Yes
i dont think orisa is sentient like the other omnics are
like she is sentient but she didnt become sentient through aurora efi gave her personality modules
However the way she is built she's supposed to be an advanced version of an omnic
She's an AI that learns and so far she believes in logic
Eventually she'll progress more
Maybe to the point of a rational mind(?)
how do you know she doesn't have a soul?
how do you know Zenyatta does?
what even is a soul?
Hi
She’s an AI
His entire lore
what lore makes you think he has a soul
“ the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.”
Yes, you cant. you couldn’t ever even prove a human has a soul
But Zenyatta’s lore is that he is travelling the world preaching that omnics have souls
And In a game with magical spirit dragons and foxes, souls are not far fetched at all.
Yes
But Echo doesn’t
Echo is just a well programmed AI
what's the difference?
Echo isn't an AI - she's a robot who has an AI
Anubis and Athena are AIs
Pretty much nothing, Echo is so well programmed AI that she may as well inherently have a soul and is essentially living
Speaking of AIs
Who are these 2?
anubis is the monic uprising guys
and athena is the person who created echo i thought
Are there more AIs other than Anubis and Athena?
Anubis is the AI "god program" that caused the Omnic Crisis
Athena is an AI made by Dr. Liao before she made Echo
and athena is in echo right?
Had to find the first overwatch short
What exactly did he said here, before he mentioned Athena?
Oh videos aren't allowed
https://youtu.be/sB5zlHMsM7k
3:22 Can't hear other words than Calvin
you mean in Recall?
Yes
Finally
?
i would think she inherited her "soul" through the OR15 that she was built from
it was busted up but it was never said to be "killed" or anything like that
i think the story is a little nebulous here, but i dont think it is the writers' intention to imply that orisa isn't an awakened omnic
after all, ramattra recognizes her as one
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
genji double blade shining dimensional breaking waltz
yeah moira has a line bout it too to her
saying that dr liao like athena more than echo
why these mods delete my msg's ( ramratta traveling monk)
Is Ashe's dynamite an omnic?
Kinda look like bastions face
Not everything with an LED is an omnic
No. Why would you even ask this
!!shitposting @worthy rose
@arctic ibex Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
got in a match as Reinhardt, with Mercy, Cassidy, Tracer and Lucio.
Lucio said "Woah, Overwatch! I'm a big fan!" (might be wrong, because I'm translating and my memory is bad)
this is why I love this game lmao
Lucio also says something like "Honestly ngl, getting killed by willhelm mf reinhardt is an honor"
this game is so cute
love things like this
He doesnt say that
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
Yes he does I heard it myself
What does ramattra mean when he says something about anubis to pharah
Whats anubis
why did he want it destroyed sooner
and why did pharah not expect that response
It's like this evil omnic thing that iirc caused omnics to lash out and cause the crisis
It's like an evil AI God
This channel is for serious lore discussion. Do not post nonsensical or offtopic things in this channel.
was Rammatra against the crisis starting?
No, he couldnt
The Omnic Crisis was 30 years ago
When do you think Sigmas accident was
That gave him his powers to manipulate gravity (not create black holes)
He also isnt that powerful
Hes strong. Hes not Magneto
Sigma, Winston, Orisa, or Symmetra
Her Hard Light manipulation is overpowered and has unknown limits
Shes like a Green Lantern but can't go into space
@sharp trench @drifting viper Ramattra is against being manipulated. He wants his people to live peacefully, but Anubis controlled them and turned them into war machines. And theoretically has the power to do it again
The Null Sector units we fight are mindless drones rather than true omnic people
that line is about Aurora, whom Dr. Liao also made
Sombra has a voiceline on Gibraltar that I thought of now that Gibraltar is gone
That goes something like "I wish Overwatch would come back just so I can get some new intel about this place."
So does that mean Sombra doesn't know Overwatch is back?
It's not really the same
Winstons Overwatch is like, 12 people
The original Overwatch was thousands
She also knows it's back. The whole world knows it
Talon knew the moment Winston sent out the Recall
And by extension, Sombra
Sombra is simply a genwunner of overwatch
Doomfist: Curse me all you want, without conflict there is no future for humanity!
would you consider ramattra nationality to be egyptian?
actually probably not
something doctor six said in a different server changed my mind
hes kinda based off of egyptians
No. He was built in an Omnium somewhere cold
just know that the overwatch wiki should be treated as fake news
Ramattra literally had a short story that described where he was built
Somewhere cold with snow and ice. But we don’t know where
yeah it was an omnium built by anubis but in some icy place
possibly siberia, possibly antartica, but no clarification iirc
The omniums weren’t built by Anubis
i disagree
They were built before Anubis
some were built by him
the one mentioned in the story was contrasted with the human built ones. it was said to be non-ergonimic
i lost my image perms otherwise i would send proof
I’m the biggest bird
Ramattra is literally the one who said that. To him, Anubis is basically a god of machines. He probably refuses to believe humanity built them
in lore zen doesn't have the iris powers
Yes he does
Proof
wow this guys a loremaster
So no proof other than game. So fake news
Give proof then or give up
No
well its most likely some were build by humans and then anubis built secret ones for his own creations
"Built by machines for machines."
Maybe. But do you honestly expect Ramattra, who hates humans with a passion, to acknowledge that humans built Omnics in any way?
It’s 9 pages king
he legit does tho?
why would he not do that it's a fact
zen?
Yes
why
Zenyatta is that how you spell it?
yeah zenyatta
hes always acknowledged humans created omnics, but anubis made his kind cuz why would humanity create a omnic that leads other omnics?
but hes not strong
The guy is just shitposting to get attention for his main Zen
hes just an omnic
No
but hes correct bout the omniums
- ram hates anubis
That conv isn’t about Ramattra. It’s bout the guy saying Zen is strongest
hes just an omnic my guy
ramattra also hates anubis tho
he has iris
the Iris allows him to heal
Either give proof or give up. You’re just shitposting
that doesn't make him the strongest
i dont think thats canon
plenty of heroes can heal
It is
where is it shown
it is, we dont know what it makes him capable of
he could be strong, but nothing points at it
where is it shown?
Sox has 0 proof and is just shitposting at this point. They just don’t wanna look stupid for pushing it this far
we know hes connected to the iris
where is it shown
thats alll'
how do we know zen is connected to the iris
And there’s more to explain
all of his lines, talking about the iris, him telling sig that he heals thanks to the iris etc
voice lines arent canon
... except they are.
but they are in character
no they arent
They are
voice lines arent canon
lol
Ok. Time to end this. If Zen is so strong, then why he look scared when Talon was about to kill him, only for Genji to save him? This is in the behind the scenes
reaper has never said to mercy "you did this to me"
they arent canon as in they havent actually met, however they are their actual reactions'
if he saw her again he would
not necessarily
Zenyatta is able to heal and float due to his connection to the Iris - he says so in an interaction with Sigma
thats the point
but interactions arent canon i thought
tell me ONE that isnt at all canon
maybe he was scared about what he was about to do to them
Isn’t the iris transcending life
i just explained or dont you trust me?
Sigma seeing fairies 🤓
we dont know what the iris is
We do a little
reaper saying you did this to me to mercy doesnt make sense because moira did it to him
It’s explained in a lot of videos
He’s not a fighter. He’s a monk. Name one time he’s shown the least bit of combat
could be spiritual, could be a virus, could be a secret org could be etc
theres a lot of voice lines that arent canon
the conversations aren't canon, but what they say is canon
And a lot that are
might be cuz yknow he thought mercy should be able to bring him back
like Mercy talking about Lucio's father inventing the sonic tech
rez doesn't work like that
if they werent, suddenly almost 70% of lore gets deleted
exactly
but reaper saying "you did this" could be explained
Reaper never says that
I like to think that the voiceline is what they canonically would say in that scenerio
thats what i thought to btw
i was like but he never says it
its probs the one of "you tell me doc"
but because the scenario never happened it isnt technically canon
oh yeah the mandela effect voiceline
it's like playing with action figures
Thanks for the answer
being able to heal and float isnt "op"
Are you stupid
what about being able to heal and float is op
what else can he do
zen has not shown up once in comics
True lol
what comics does he appear in?
what comics does he appear in
there arent any
Wait
theres nothing to search
Zenyatta has a cameo in Reflections, but otherwise does not appear in any comcs
he appears in the short story Stone by Stone
wait but isnt reinhardt like bridgettes dad
cuz thats why they share the same stuff right
the shield
what is canon
and like melee weapon
tho rein cant heal
they should give rein inspire like bridges
brsisge
bridgets
so they r really the same
torb is actually brigs dad
brig is reinhardt's apprentice
Reinhardt is her godfather - Torbjorn is her biological father
she got her height from her mom
wait what
teinhardt is a girl?
wait no nvm
i read that wrong
so reinhardt and brig srent related
not by blood, he's her godfather
icic ty
Junkrat and roadhog are expecting their first child
Let’s gooooo
Mercy and Roadhog are not married
Gency is canon
LETS GO
Thanks for clarifying
Because I see that they are a lot
Thankfully they’re not
...why?
they've never even met
oh is it because of a dumb joke Jeff Kaplan made years ago?

👍Olha se você n
where is gency shown as canon?
their interactions and some lines from the short stories/comics indicate that they have a relationship
oh thats cool
we don't know the nature of that relationship, but it seems romantic
its the name of the ship between genji and mercy
icic
in a christmas comic or smth genji writes a letter and on the same or next page mercy opens a letter while holding a oddly similar pen to the one genji uses
whats sigmas origin?
He's Dutch
He's an Astrophysicist
he love ants
All amazing answers
Is Doomfist technically the strongest character in ow lore wise
So I know Sigma with all his Hax would pulverise Doomfist, however due to the fact that Sigma can't really control any of his abilities, does that mean Doomfist is the strongest Lore wise?
orisa and winston have beaten him
Wasn't that between Winston and Doomfist a Tie, I remember that they after the fight picked up Doomfist and Winston didn't brought Doomfist in prison, and Orisa is built just to fight against Doomfist, but there I really have no clue 
winston won that fight orisa is specifically built to beat doom so shes specifically good against him but shes also just really powerful on her own
also sym is very op
and sigma might be able to control his abilities
its been a long time since he got them
i remember seeing a power chart somewhere in here
i found it
Winston, Orisa, Sigma, Symm, and potentially Reaper are all stronger
Reaper and Doom can go either way
Orisa is built to directly counter doomfist. They both have their strengths
hence, Orisa is stronger, like I said
Physical strength: Doom and Winston
Durab: Orisa and Winston prolly
Hax: Sigma and Symm
IQ: Winston
etc, u can never really say who is stronger than who in OW verse as it comes down to what they’re best at, or its just obvious
goku would solo roadhog
it just has to be high noon
Yes
high noon for the damage reduction to tank cool downs

high noon is just a confidence boost and being so calm that you shoot perfect or near perfect
and him focussing
yeah i meant that not “calm.” just forgot the word
Super focused?
cass is kinda crazy
hes not that powerful given all a and s tiers overwatch guys have actual superpowers or tech that basically gives them superpowers rather than shoot gun good
Winston lost to doom didn't he?
no he won
Thought so
Also didn't doom beat all of the boys like Orissa when he came out of prison
Or are they different from orissa
Yeah though
because efi upgraded her from an omnic that was kill by doom
Ahhh ok ok
after he got out of jail hes just been planning the conflict that will lead humanity to "progress"
Yeah alright
hes met with ramattra too
We see that in the cinematic
How are the omnics treated around the world
Apartnly their slaves in the uk
will they ever bring back storm rising story mode mission or that blackwatch one with genji cass reaper and moira or kings row uprising?
strongest hero in lore?
doom?
symmettra
hes strong but not that strong
i thought hes strongest smh
winston and orisa have personally beaten him

sigma probably could beat him with all his gravity stuff
sym could maybe idk much about hardlight i just heard it makes her like green lantern
wot
hardlight is what reins shield is made of and is very very powerful
does mercy have good intentions?
shes german so no
boring character imo
i refuse to have orisa be made into stroodle by that demon medic
She's swiss
like the cheese?
no best is pepper jack
colby
close second
winton
most likely not
yeah, she parallels Moira in a way due to those 2 having different views on stuff
What nation is Moira from?
Hell
he beat the or15 units and the girl decided that they need a better protecter so she used the tech from the broken or15s to make orisa
She’s a red head
Ireland/Scotland tho? She doesn’t really sound that way
Isn't she Welsh?
@willow pond Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
LOL
is doomfist actually evil
His goal is to "make humanity stronger through conflict"
chad
i mean he doesnt think hes doing something bad
he has his reasons
but hes a terrible person whos committed terrorist attacks
btw would yall want tracers powers?
like you get the skip foward in time and stuff but you have to wear the thing
arent dva and tracer friends
theyre both in overwatch so maybe
i dont know if theyve interacted though
er im not sure if dva is in new overwatch
i think she is though
why is hammond so big
ig genetic stuff lunar messed with
why is winton so big
i think gorillas are just that big
true i suppose
junker queen is really really tall
i dont get how a human is like that big and can still like walk normally
Not to mention her being out in the wastelands for as long as she was
how tall is she
D.VA has only recently joined overwatch, we have no info on that
over 7 feet i think
dom mom frghjl;'
yeah roadhog is crazy tall too
7’5
junkrat is also tall too
hes 6'5???
i didnt know that
thats crazy tall
doom too
6'5? Jeez
junk rat is 6’ when he is no slouching?
That’s radioactive mutations for you. They mess with your body some how
6'5 when not slouching
Oh well. Better to look like a subtle mutation instead of a Cronenberg
I think the Junkers are mutated
I think
probably
Cause' you know about the Omnium radiation, they're literally living in Chernobyl
Which might probably explain Roadhog being that huge
yeah
And also his lung disease
junker queen is also really tall
Ok Australian are just naturally tall people ATM we AVG 5'11 in height an every year we go up with that AVG .001
What year is overwatch set in?
2080 i thought
60 years in the future
it doesnt make sense for jq and roadhog to be 7' and 7'3 even being australians
i think its radiation
Ok so people would be around 6ft in the year which isn't implausible
Yeah but then the radiation would also make them bigger
But it would make sense the AVG person in Australia to be sixfoot an above
yeah but theyre also made taller by radiation
Probably
So fun question. You think if the devs ever add Hanamura back to the game, Kanezaka will be added into the background?
No
Why not? The devs pull out all the stops in adding detail to maps now and Kanezaka is literally below Hanamura
It be odd to not have it shown from above if Hanamura ever returns in the map pool
And? What’s that got to do with Hanamura and Kanezaka? They’re literally right next to each other
A) We’ve seen the Black Forest up close. It’s surrounded by dense forest. You’re not gonna see the map from Eichenwalde so easily
B) It’s obvious the two locations for the Shambali Monasteries are in two locations of either different mountains or on one mountain. You more than likely wouldn’t see them next to each other
You can see Eichenwalde from Black Forest
Also I disagree that "its obvious"
To me "its obvious" that its the same mountain
Whatever. The point is that Kanezaka is right there beneath Hanamura. It can be seen right there
And Black Forest is next to Eichenwalde
And the Nepal maps, which are "obviously" close in proximity, cannot be seen from each other
It actually looks more like the Black Forest village is on the other side of the castle. Given how the map is designed, you probably wouldn’t see it regardless
i thought all control maps were technically on the same map
They are
It’s not like players can see every side of the castle. Only the length of which the map is designed
Shambali is an escort map
but those aren't necessarily the same place, so why bring it up
Nepal is a map in Nepal called Nepal
Shambali is a map in Nepal called Shambali
In the context of the conversation
Nepal and Shambali are the Nepal maps
Nepal's a whole country, the two temples don't need to be next to each other
Just because the map is called Nepal doesnt mean it spans the country
Its like if hanamura was called "Japan"
Its still set in one place next to Kanezaka
not what I meant, in fact I meant the opposite
nepal the country is big enough that you could fit nepal the map and shambali without either being seen from the other
And in the story, from what I can tell, they're close in proximity
How can you tell?
Nepal does have a number of temples around it and if the Shambali are the same, then they can have multiple temples around Nepal too
meanwhile can't you see hanamura from kanezaka but not the other way around?
1 sec
Yes, but only bc Hanamura was designed years before Kanezaka was ever conceived
The devs just didn’t wanna have to change a map just bc they added a new one next to it
Tho, probably bc OW2 was on the horizon and Hanamura was gonna get scrapped anyway so…
So doubt they had any need at the time to change Hanamura if this was the case
But keep in mind, they’ve certainly changed map designs before for OW2
Aside from time of day, there have been other things added to maps. Such as Nepal and Rialto getting more cover spots and Blizzard World getting heavily detailed rain
asdf
Point 1 - They updated the base of operations of Zenyatta to be that of the new map. His base of operations was shown to be the previous map. This is also literally the only update we have had to base of operations ever.
Point 2 - The devs have talked about maps being set in familiar locations around existing maps. I do not recall if this was used as an example however. I think this was how Aaron accidentally leaked this map?
Point 3 - The patch notes basically confirmed it's on the way to Sanctum. Capitalized. Because its a proper name of the place.
Point 4 - The images. Its literally the same place.
@merry mason @past copper
Have the OW2 evening update.
To be fair, the Shambali Monastery might actually just be the base of the mountain given how this looks
And they didnt even bother updating Nepal to show the construction site.
They're not gonna put Kanezaka on Hanamura, even if it didnt get snapped
Heres what it looks like looking down
If the construction is around the base of the mountain, you think you can it from the top of the other map?
I mean, can you see the first Nepal map from the Monastery map?
No
Despite being in the same place
You cant see either map from either
Just like the Black Forest/Eichenwalde mystery
It’s not like you circle the Eichenwalde map to see the village on the other side of the castle tho
You can though
Nepal can get a pass since the first map is situated very high up
And see that its not there
True, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare old mechanics to new ones. To add detail of two separate maps to each other would more than require the devs to remove a map from the map pool for a time to do it
Something they had ample time to do for Rialto and Blizzard World since they were removed for 2 months
I’m sure if and when Hollywood and Gibraltar return, they’ll be changed in some way
Tho, don’t see why Gibraltar, but whatever
They didnt either
Rialto is still filled with old assets.
Including low poly Talon weapons in the spawnroom
That’s bc Talon probably still uses it or something. It’s not like we’ve got a lot of maps affiliated with Talon
And I was referring to the crates at the beginning of the match. Those weren’t there before
Also, don’t know if this is real, but seems players discovered a PvE area of Rialto. Don’t quote me on that
Huh
there's new areas on a few maps - King's Row, Rialto, Havana
and there's a new doorway on Eichenwalde that doesn't lead anywhere yet
it seems like they're in the process of expanding the maps for PvE
I don’t think the one on Havana is a payload expansion
didnt say it was, in the showing of PvE, they tell and shows us that payloads will have 2 different paths. Our regular PvP route, then the new PvE routes
Those expansions look fun. Certainly going to be a welcomed change when they arrive
Rialto’s expansion looks great. Probably only for a hero mission tho
Kings row expansion looks nice
Hero Missions = you can choose any hero, objectives are randomized, basically the QP of PvE
Story Missions = 4+ heroes to choose from for a 4-player mission, the story campaign
i wish the other 3 story missions would come back
No. 5’1” is short. 5’5” is pretty average
5'5 is pretty short
she’s short compared to some of the ppl in overwatch, there 🙂
People here comparing height, but forgetting things like genetics having a place in it
doom cheated
comparing height doesnt mean you're forgetting genetics
he doesnt count
it's hard to argue for genetics when it comes to fictional characters
yeah
they're as tall/short as the writers made them
Sojourn has different height legs in her origin story
where does doom rank in terms of strength in the lore
zen walks
5th or 6th
behind ik sigma but who else
winston, orisa, symm, and MAYBE Reaper
orisa and sym? 💀
why is everyone obsessed with Doomfist's power rating?
cuz he's an awe inspiring character whos also broken in the game
bc a lot of people think hes the most powerful
Orisa vs Doom is 1 to 0, Orisa beat him before
so has winston right?
well that ain't all that fair
yes
ik winston beat him
lucio aint hat powerful in lore
Symm is overpowered
how
hardlight
??
she is just greenlantern without the power of will
she can make basically anything with hardlight
orisa beat him in hero of numbani and sym has hardlight
yeah
reaper is pretty bad at his job
however its incredibly possible Reaper can solidify being in the top 5 if the story devs expand on his potential
plot demands
but yeah, it seems that way
he is probably the best at completing missions in Talon besides Widow
does widow have an actual personality aside from killing machine
read her bio
find her bio conflicting
she visited Gerald’s grave right?
and placed flowers there
that would stand for having atleast a minor bit emotion though right?
okay, so im guessing her bio saying “no emotion” could be a calling to the animation and how she doesnt feel anything for the people she kills?
yes
ah okay, thanks
btw do we know much about kiriko
not entirely
rather dry background besides being family friends with Genji and Hanzk
Hanzo
also controversial since the new japanese hero seemingly knows the brothers
how is that controversial?
her mother trained the brothers
it makes sense that she would know them
just seemed weird to me that the new japanese hero would have a connection towards 2 already known heroes, it has some good storytelling, but it seems off to me
a new Japanese hero that wasn't connected to them would be weirder
I would want to know why we got another Japanese hero instead of one from one of the hundreds of other countries without representation
yeah i get that, just weird tho since theres other areas of Japan
we dont have a portuguese hero right? unless u somewhat count lucio since he is brazilian?
I wouldn't count Lucio
okay, didnt know since both places speak the same language or narrowly the same
that's like counting Baptiste as French because he speaks French
Have we got a rep from Scotland yet?
It's possible because before Overwatch disbanded there were like thousands of OW agents. Since the recall there's atleast 13(15 if Bastion and Lucio joins) for now
Not yet
Closest we got is Ireland with Moira
And maybe England as well cause of Tracer
I hope we get more Caribbean reps 🙏, we only have Cuba and bap
that's more than some regions have
Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, South America, Southern Africa and Eastern Europe all have less than that
Let me be more specific, I was purposefully vague so I can sneak in jamaica or dominican republic 😭😭
Polynesia will at least be getting Mauga eventually
Europe has plenty of rep but it feels so strange that italy gets pretty much all the content except a hero
Also Dorado and Castillo
Italy’s Rialto was because it was the map for retribution
Colosseo maybe has to do with the PvE
South America has Lucio/Paraiso and Eastern Europe has Zarya/Volskaya Industries
okay, less or equal to
Yeah, it has so many maps and big story importance but no hero
Meanwhile the US having:
Soldier
Reaper
Cassidy
Ashe
Blizzard World
Midtown
Route 66
murca
We have more moon related things
hammond winston
HLC
I guess
And king's row
He visited though
He's seen all
HLC is still in the game, it's just not in the core rotation
Man I wish Soldiers lore was just him being a veteran from a time before Omnics and being racist towards Omnics
you want soldier to be racist?
Towards Omnics
he’s been serving for YEARS, he has no reason to be racist towards them either. I think Soldier’s lore is quite interesting compared to tons of the other heroes
He does tho
he doesnt
he kinda does
give me a reason he should be racist
hes witnessed the terrible things omnics have done
American
okay? so should people be racist to germans/aryans?
No
reasoning sucks then
No
we have racist heroes already
Wait we do?
This almost feels like a shitpost troll answer. This channel is for serious discussion. Be serious please.
a tone of people are racist to omnics because of null sector and the fact a lot of them are war robots soldier has seen that firsthand
he has reasons
not good ones but you cant really rationalize racism
again, that means people can be and should be racist the germans/aryans in the real world. There is never a good reason to be “racist” as you should never be
no
thats not the same thing
theres only one generation of omnics and many of them are a part of null sector
like soldier has a reason to hate omnics given hes seen what anubis has done with omnics
i dont think he does but he has a reason to
and he knows about null sector i think
only ones who have been apart of the Crisis are the Or’s. Regular omnics we see in cinematics like Hero, Alive, etc havent even been apart of it
Junker queen is already that
all junkers do
Can Omnics feel?
junkers hate omnics bc they destroyed their home right?
Regular omnics have been part of it.
Bob was also part of it
yeah, omnium place go boom boom
The novel tells us as much rather explicitly
I just thought that they’ve just been accurately representing what feeling’s like
regular omnics all turned on humans at the same time
i mean omnics are pretty much just people
no they have feelings and emotions
btw was aurora before or after anubis?
What are you saying no to
After I believe
.
there's not much visible difference between feeling emotions and acting like they feel emotions
i mean if you saw omnics be very violent toward innocent people thats a reason to be racist toward them i mean its not a good reason but there arent good reasons to be racistr
how did cass lose his arm?
not known i believe
due to talon i’d assume since he is always being hunted or wtv, or during a gig
in ana origin its shown he has a real arm or a verry realistic fake one
thats during blackwatch
you can look at Reaper and see its patch on his shoulder
we know he lost his arm from post-downfall to Reunion
Cassidy lost his arm after leaving Overwatch
idrk how that would work
Maximilien is too much of a coward
yeah
feel like only talon support we could now get is a brand new character
Or Sanjay
idk if he canuse hardlight though
Analyst Nguyen is also a blank slate for possibilities
Well, not totally blank
But his primary weapon is one that's fine for a support, being a simple handgun
Which ironically, we dont have a hero that uses that in this game yet
Closest is Cassidy
Pretty much every fps marks them as distinct weapons
so like a glock or something?
i wonder if we'll ever get one of the other guys shown in the final shot of kiriko trailer
Kanezaka or whatever?
oh them, thought they were talking about the kanezaka
yeah their designs are pretty cool
quite cool
guy in the very far back seems to have dual swords with triggers, kind of like Attack on Titan blades, would be cool so see what his swords are like
it could be cool if the other mechs were dva skins
you mean if dva had skins where they were the other MEKA? or have another MEKA as a hero?
just skins of dva except its not dva its one of the other mekas
like how in super smash bros skins like for bowser junior really change him
ah okay, could be cool, but all the MEKA have such distinct shapes and skins it would be really weird to see on DVA
yeah it could mess with silhouettes
and hitboxes cuz some MEKA are smaller than other
oh wait i just checked i thought they were way closer they are very different
yeah that could be cool
or maybe like recolors of dva that had the color schemes of the other mekas
have we ever seen orisa fight anyone except for doom?
nope
not that I believe
nor remember
funny that Cass and Sombra were in the same bar on Christmas, also that Amelie visits her husband on that day
So if Omnics had their own country, what would be their national flag?
No, that would be like the N*** Germany flag.
Though I do admit, Null Sector's logo looks super cool.
flags arent always rectangles, theirs can just be this simple square
although I did put a logo of a terrorist organization of their flag
but Omnics live with humanity, so
It’s hard to tell what logo they would choose.
it can be anything, doubt they’ll make an omnic only country though
You know the Profile picture in the game just called “Omnic”?
yeah
I love this logo man.
It follows the basic rule of logo-building, giving it a hidden meaning. The cross is the Null part, and it completes the S for Sector.
