That skin and young Ana have her cybernetic eye

grim pawn
#

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

limpid agate
#

A skin

#

Its not canon

#

ok..................................

#

Who is your fav villain in overwatch lore?

#

Lmao

#

Ramattra has overtaken Doomfist as my favorite villain

#

He just has a better villainous goal in my opinion

peak escarp
#

he's just so charming and charismatic

dreamy epoch
#

more casualties

sweet tide
#

i think

lofty snow
drifting viper
#

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

worthy rose
#

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

#

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?

peak escarp
#

they're just sensors

lilac estuary
#

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

peak escarp
#

those eyes are basically cameras

#

their sensors detect other things

warm summit
#

Do we have a guage on how powerful kirikos fox spirit is

rare trail
#

Not really all we know is what’s in the short

warm summit
#

Alright thank you

rare trail
#

Maybe dragon strength given she trained with Shimada

warm summit
#

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

rare trail
#

I wonder if like genjis mom and dad had dragons

warm summit
#

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

worthy rose
#

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.

rare trail
#

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

worthy rose
#

No, this is when he respawns after getting killed by Rein. I even got a video of it.

rare trail
#

That’s cool

worthy rose
#

It makes me wonder… how many other voice lines are there?

tacit galleon
#

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"

#

So how did junkrat even get into the team

limpid agate
#

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

versed torrent
#

I think they mean the overwatch team? Consirering lore channel

#

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

limpid agate
#

@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

versed torrent
#

Some are villains lo

limpid agate
#

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

dawn topaz
#

Let's discuss moira's anime list

dawn topaz
broken cargo
#

its also a crime organization

#

he isint part of it anymore

limpid agate
rare trail
#

that would be really cool like a few fights from the shorts but playable

#

like a really powerful doom vs genji tracer and winston

merry mason
#

can you really count kiriko as former shimada? she was a kid, she didn't work for them.

peak escarp
#

she was part of their sphere of influence, and grew up with the brothers

#

her mother and father both worked for them

rare trail
#

does she know genji is alive?

peak escarp
#

not yet

rare trail
#

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?

peak escarp
#

correct

rare trail
#

why doesnt winston or mercy like release that information?

peak escarp
#

why would they?

rare trail
#

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

peak escarp
#

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

merry mason
#

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

peak escarp
#

Pharah was never considered a member of Overwatch (until Cassidy recruited her)

merry mason
#

that is my point

peak escarp
#

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

rare trail
#

he is legally dead

merry mason
#

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

rare trail
#

like genji shimada is dead

merry mason
peak escarp
#

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

wispy light
#

What did Vishkar do that makes everyone hate them?

#

I'm still new to Ow2 so it's new

dawn topaz
#

I thought only Lucio personally dislikes Symmetra?

peak escarp
#

Vishkar takes over neighborhoods in the name of progress and enforces tight curfews and exploits the people

#

they're typical corporate greed

wispy light
#

Oh.. is Symmetra aware of what's happening?

rare trail
#

kinda

#

she thinks theyre helping people but has her doubts

frank pelican
#

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

peak escarp
#

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?

frank pelican
#

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"

peak escarp
#

I mean what difference does it make?

frank pelican
#

but echo is just a robot

frank pelican
peak escarp
#

and?

#

does that change who the characters are or their role in the story?

frank pelican
#

Echo was programmed to act like she's living, zen and rammatra are actually living

frank pelican
peak escarp
#

a question we don't know the answer to

frank pelican
#

Ok

shadow marsh
#

She's an adaptive AI so kind of

thorn oyster
#

hi i just started playing mercy... is 5-7k healing good or no?

frank pelican
#

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

rare trail
#

omnics have souls but echo isnt an omnic

#

well some omnics have souls

#

the ones that were around when aurora ascended are

frank pelican
#

Makes sense

shadow marsh
rare trail
#

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

shadow marsh
#

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(?)

frank pelican
#

But she doesn't have a soul therefore zen is better

peak escarp
#

how do you know she doesn't have a soul?

#

how do you know Zenyatta does?

#

what even is a soul?

latent horizon
#

Hi

worthy rose
worthy rose
rare trail
#

what lore makes you think he has a soul

worthy rose
peak escarp
#

you can't prove a soul exists

#

Zenyatta is also an AI

worthy rose
#

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.

peak escarp
#

you don't need to ping me every time

#

so then Orisa has a soul, since she's an omnic

worthy rose
#

But Echo doesn’t

#

Echo is just a well programmed AI

peak escarp
#

what's the difference?

#

Echo isn't an AI - she's a robot who has an AI

#

Anubis and Athena are AIs

worthy rose
shadow marsh
#

Speaking of AIs

worthy rose
rare trail
#

anubis is the monic uprising guys

#

and athena is the person who created echo i thought

shadow marsh
#

Are there more AIs other than Anubis and Athena?

peak escarp
#

Anubis is the AI "god program" that caused the Omnic Crisis

#

Athena is an AI made by Dr. Liao before she made Echo

rare trail
#

and athena is in echo right?

peak escarp
#

they probably share programming

#

they're "sisters"

#

but they not the same entity

shadow marsh
#

Had to find the first overwatch short

#

What exactly did he said here, before he mentioned Athena?

#

Oh videos aren't allowed

peak escarp
#

you mean in Recall?

shadow marsh
#

Yes

peak escarp
#

Talon

#

not Calvin

shadow marsh
#

Finally

peak escarp
#

?

shadow marsh
#

Been thinking too hard whatever word he said

#

Just misheard

grim pawn
#

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

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.

sharp trench
#

was Rammatra against the crisis starting?

limpid agate
#

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

#

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?

limpid agate
#

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

dawn topaz
#

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?

dense nebula
#

Why do you say that?

#

Was he built in an Omnium in Egypt?

glossy arrow
#

actually probably not

#

something doctor six said in a different server changed my mind

rare trail
#

hes kinda based off of egyptians

past copper
#

No. He was built in an Omnium somewhere cold

glossy arrow
#

just know that the overwatch wiki should be treated as fake news

past copper
#

Ramattra literally had a short story that described where he was built

#

Somewhere cold with snow and ice. But we don’t know where

glossy arrow
#

yeah it was an omnium built by anubis but in some icy place

#

possibly siberia, possibly antartica, but no clarification iirc

past copper
#

The omniums weren’t built by Anubis

glossy arrow
#

i disagree

past copper
#

They were built before Anubis

glossy arrow
#

the short story says: an omnium. built by anubis.

#

word for word

merry mason
#

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

glossy arrow
#

i lost my image perms otherwise i would send proof

worthy rose
#

I’m the biggest bird

past copper
#

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

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?

i was like but he never says it

its probs the one of "you tell me doc"

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?

rare trail
#

no

#

winston beat him

#

sym has hardlight

rare trail
thin cypress
# rare trail 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 winStare

rare trail
#

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

ivory garnet
#

Reaper and Doom can go either way

tame berry
ivory garnet
#

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

maiden granite

is doomfist actually evil

ivory garnet

yeah, he has a twisted and controversial goal

#

he’s a terrorist

opaque scroll

His goal is to "make humanity stronger through conflict"

maiden granite

chad

rare trail
#

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

maiden granite
#

i want to hug tracer

#

and yes

#

i want to teleport

rare trail
#

what does tracer do if theres a power outage

#

like

#

how long does her thing last

maiden granite
#

arent dva and tracer friends

rare trail
#

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

maiden granite
#

why is winton so big

rare trail

i think gorillas are just that big

maiden granite

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

ivory garnet

Junker is near Roadhog’s height

or slightly shorter

yeah roadhog is crazy tall too

junkrat is also tall too

hes 6'5???

i didnt know that

thats crazy tall

6'5? Jeez

rare trail

yeah junkers are really tall

#

all the ones we've seen so far at least

signal ore

junk rat is 6’ when he is no slouching?

past copper
#

That’s radioactive mutations for you. They mess with your body some how

rare trail
#

6'5 when not slouching

past copper
#

Oh well. Better to look like a subtle mutation instead of a Cronenberg

shadow marsh
#

I think

rare trail
#

probably

shadow marsh
#

Cause' you know about the Omnium radiation, they're literally living in Chernobyl

#

Which might probably explain Roadhog being that huge

rare trail
#

yeah

shadow marsh
#

And also his lung disease

rare trail
#

junker queen is also really tall

teal pecan
#

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?

rare trail
#

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

teal pecan
#

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

rare trail
#

yeah but theyre also made taller by radiation

teal pecan
#

Probably

past copper
#

So fun question. You think if the devs ever add Hanamura back to the game, Kanezaka will be added into the background?

limpid agate
#

No

past copper
#

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

peak escarp
#

if they make a new map for Hanamura, maybe

#

but the old one won't be changed

limpid agate
#

Black Forest isnt on Eichenwalde

#

The new map isnt on Nepal

#

And vice versa

past copper
#

And? What’s that got to do with Hanamura and Kanezaka? They’re literally right next to each other

limpid agate
#

So are Black Forest and Eichenwalde

#

So are Nepal and Shambali

past copper
#

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

limpid agate
#

You can see Eichenwalde from Black Forest

#

Also I disagree that "its obvious"

#

To me "its obvious" that its the same mountain

past copper
#

Whatever. The point is that Kanezaka is right there beneath Hanamura. It can be seen right there

limpid agate
#

And Black Forest is next to Eichenwalde

#

And the Nepal maps, which are "obviously" close in proximity, cannot be seen from each other

past copper
#

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

merry mason
limpid agate
#

They are

past copper
#

It’s not like players can see every side of the castle. Only the length of which the map is designed

limpid agate
#

Shambali is an escort map

merry mason
#

but those aren't necessarily the same place, so why bring it up

limpid agate
#

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

merry mason
#

Nepal's a whole country, the two temples don't need to be next to each other

limpid agate
#

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

merry mason
#

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

limpid agate
#

And in the story, from what I can tell, they're close in proximity

merry mason
#

How can you tell?

past copper
#

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

merry mason
#

meanwhile can't you see hanamura from kanezaka but not the other way around?

limpid agate
#

1 sec

past copper
#

Yes, but only bc Hanamura was designed years before Kanezaka was ever conceived

merry mason
#

yes but isn't that what you were taling about in the first place

#

fixing that

past copper
#

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

mint kelp
#

asdf

limpid agate
#

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.

past copper
#

To be fair, the Shambali Monastery might actually just be the base of the mountain given how this looks

limpid agate
#

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

past copper
#

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?

limpid agate
#

No

#

Despite being in the same place

#

You cant see either map from either

#

Just like the Black Forest/Eichenwalde mystery

past copper
#

It’s not like you circle the Eichenwalde map to see the village on the other side of the castle tho

limpid agate
#

You can though

past copper
#

Nepal can get a pass since the first map is situated very high up

limpid agate
#

And see that its not there

past copper
#

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

limpid agate
#

They didnt either

#

Rialto is still filled with old assets.

#

Including low poly Talon weapons in the spawnroom

past copper
#

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

worthy rose
#

Huh

peak escarp
#

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

ivory garnet
#

we’ve seen they’ll be expanding the maps for PvE

#

when its a payload mission

past copper
#

I don’t think the one on Havana is a payload expansion

ivory garnet
#

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

past copper
#

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

ivory garnet
#

Kings row expansion looks nice

rare trail

is rein really 7'4?

#

everyone is really tall in ow geez

peak escarp
#

Hero Missions = you can choose any hero, objectives are randomized, basically the QP of PvE

5'5 is pretty short

she's tall compared to me

I'm only 4'11"

rare trail

wait korean women are shorter on average

so shes actually above average

ivory garnet

she’s short compared to some of the ppl in overwatch, there 🙂

rare trail

5'3 is average for korean women

#

doom is really tall

#

7'1

past copper
#

People here comparing height, but forgetting things like genetics having a place in it

maiden granite
#

doom cheated

rare trail
#

comparing height doesnt mean you're forgetting genetics

maiden granite
#

he doesnt count

peak escarp
#

it's hard to argue for genetics when it comes to fictional characters

rare trail
#

yeah

peak escarp
#

they're as tall/short as the writers made them

rare trail
#

genji def cheating though

#

he doesnt even have real legs

orisa and sym? 💀

why is everyone obsessed with Doomfist's power rating?

with Lucio's help

so has winston right?

she is just greenlantern without the power of will

peak escarp

she can make basically anything with hardlight

rare trail
worthy rose
#

weird

#

well 5th or 6th aint bad

rare trail
#

yeah

ivory garnet
#

Reaper vs Doom goes either way

#

i’d say like 60/40

#

Doom 60, Reaper 40

rare trail
#

reaper is pretty bad at his job

ivory garnet
#

however its incredibly possible Reaper can solidify being in the top 5 if the story devs expand on his potential

ivory garnet
#

but yeah, it seems that way

#

he is probably the best at completing missions in Talon besides Widow

maiden granite
#

does widow have an actual personality aside from killing machine

ivory garnet
#

yeah

#

somewhat still has emotions

peak escarp
#

read her bio

#
ivory garnet
#

find her bio conflicting

#

she visited Gerald’s grave right?

#

and placed flowers there

peak escarp
#

yes

#

she still remembers loving him

#

and has her own free will

ivory garnet
#

that would stand for having atleast a minor bit emotion though right?

peak escarp
#

she does feel some emotion yes

#

but it has mostly been dulled

ivory garnet
#

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?

peak escarp
#

yes

ivory garnet
#

ah okay, thanks

maiden granite
#

btw do we know much about kiriko

ivory garnet
#

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

peak escarp
#

how is that controversial?

#

her mother trained the brothers

#

it makes sense that she would know them

ivory garnet
#

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

peak escarp
#

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

ivory garnet
#

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?

peak escarp
#

I wouldn't count Lucio

ivory garnet
#

okay, didnt know since both places speak the same language or narrowly the same

peak escarp
#

that's like counting Baptiste as French because he speaks French

worthy rose
#

Have we got a rep from Scotland yet?

shadow marsh
#

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

dense nebula
#

Closest we got is Ireland with Moira

#

And maybe England as well cause of Tracer

digital forum
#

I hope we get more Caribbean reps 🙏, we only have Cuba and bap

peak escarp

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 😭😭

you want soldier to be racist?

This almost feels like a shitpost troll answer. This channel is for serious discussion. Be serious please.

rare trail
#

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

ivory garnet
#

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

rare trail
#

no

#

thats not the same thing

#

theres only one generation of omnics and many of them are a part of null sector

peak escarp
#

but many of them aren't

#

and had nothing to do with the crisis

rare trail
#

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

ivory garnet
#

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

Bob was also part of it

ivory garnet
limpid agate
#

The novel tells us as much rather explicitly

proven ocean
# rare trail yes

I just thought that they’ve just been accurately representing what feeling’s like

peak escarp
#

regular omnics all turned on humans at the same time

rare trail
#

i mean omnics are pretty much just people

ivory garnet
#

no they have feelings and emotions

rare trail
#

btw was aurora before or after anubis?

limpid agate
#

What are you saying no to

limpid agate
peak escarp
#

there's not much visible difference between feeling emotions and acting like they feel emotions

rare trail
#

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?

ivory garnet
#

not known i believe

#

due to talon i’d assume since he is always being hunted or wtv, or during a gig

rare trail
#

in ana origin its shown he has a real arm or a verry realistic fake one

ivory garnet
#

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

peak escarp
#

Cassidy lost his arm after leaving Overwatch

rare trail
#

maximilean is so cool

#

i really want him as the next support

ivory garnet
#

idrk how that would work

peak escarp
#

Maximilien is too much of a coward

rare trail
#

yeah

ivory garnet
#

feel like only talon support we could now get is a brand new character

rare trail
#

yeah

#

sanjay with hardlight might work

limpid agate
#

Or Sanjay

rare trail
#

idk if he canuse hardlight though

limpid agate
#

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

ivory garnet
#

i mean, if you dont count a revolver being a handgun

#

then yeah

limpid agate
#

Pretty much every fps marks them as distinct weapons

ivory garnet
#

so like a glock or something?

limpid agate
#

Handguns are low damage flexible semi automatic weapons

#

Yeah

rare trail
#

i wonder if we'll ever get one of the other guys shown in the final shot of kiriko trailer

ivory garnet
#

Kanezaka or whatever?

peak escarp
#

they are the Yokai gang

#

there's some pretty cool designs in there

ivory garnet
#

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

rare trail
#

it could be cool if the other mechs were dva skins

ivory garnet
#

you mean if dva had skins where they were the other MEKA? or have another MEKA as a hero?

rare trail
#

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

ivory garnet
#

ah okay, could be cool, but all the MEKA have such distinct shapes and skins it would be really weird to see on DVA

rare trail
#

yeah it could mess with silhouettes

ivory garnet
#

and hitboxes cuz some MEKA are smaller than other

rare trail
#

oh wait i just checked i thought they were way closer they are very different

ivory garnet
#

yeah very

#

a possible one could be the bottom left

#

as its the most similar

rare trail
#

yeah that could be cool

#

or maybe like recolors of dva that had the color schemes of the other mekas

ivory garnet
#

i think she has atleast one

#

nvm, i thought she did

rare trail
#

have we ever seen orisa fight anyone except for doom?

ivory garnet
#

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

worthy rose
#

So if Omnics had their own country, what would be their national flag?

ivory garnet
#

Null Sector logo

worthy rose
#

No, that would be like the N*** Germany flag.

#

Though I do admit, Null Sector's logo looks super cool.

ivory garnet
#

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

worthy rose
#

It’s hard to tell what logo they would choose.

ivory garnet
#

it can be anything, doubt they’ll make an omnic only country though

worthy rose
#

You know the Profile picture in the game just called “Omnic”?

ivory garnet
#

yeah

worthy rose
#

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.

ivory garnet
#

yeah 🙂

Blizzard does good with their overwatch logos
