unknown

#

she doesn't use any pronouns to talk about her crush

ivory garnet
#

its a voiceline with tracer right?

#

or was it sombra?

peak escarp
#

she has one with Tracer, one with Pharah about borrowing her wings for "inspiration", and one with Lucio about writing lyrics

#

she also mentions poetry with Hanzo

ivory garnet
#

yeah its tracer when she mentions about her “crush”

peak escarp
#

the poetry might not be related to her crush

ivory garnet
#

she has separate voicelines with tracer

#

sombra is about poetry

peak escarp
#

she's got a few about poetry

ivory garnet
#

Tracer: So what have you been up to? Seeing anyone?
Brigitte: Oh my gosh, Lena.
Tracer: Sooo... that's a no?
Brigitte: I'll... tell you later.

peak escarp
#

with different heroes

ivory garnet
#

seems quite big on poetry lol

peak escarp
#

would be fun if we could get a wedding themed season, and have Lena and Emily finally get married

#

they've been dating for at least 6 years

wind portal
#

If only Hana and Lucio had more interactions outside of what they have in their voicelines

ivory garnet
#

they’ll probably have their first canon interaction during PvE

ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

just give a bunch of heroes formalwear skins

ivory garnet
#

would definitely be cool if they were to do that

#

but i dont think they would give an entire season its theme for 1 playable character

vocal marsh
#

Widow bride skin

vocal marsh
peak escarp
#

they could find a way to make an event out of it

vocal marsh
#

Is Lunar New Year Event after BFO

peak escarp
#

yes

vocal marsh
#

Like right after?

peak escarp
#

starts next tuesday

ivory garnet
#

next season will maybe be something to do with lunar new year

vocal marsh
#

Ah

ivory garnet
vocal marsh
#

Wait but BFO has 7 more days

peak escarp
#

LNY is next week

limpid agate
#

If they did that, it would be season 4 since that overlaps June

#

Maybe 5

vocal marsh
#

Also why was BFO started on a Thursday instead of Tuesday

peak escarp
#

Lunar New Year event starting January 17 through February 1

limpid agate
#

All updates other than season starts since OW2 dropped were on Thursdays

peak escarp
#

This new limited-time event will start on January 5 and last until January 19.

#

BFO and LNY overlap by 2 days

ivory garnet
#

we’d probably get atleast 3 new LNY skins

limpid agate
#

We have 1

vocal marsh
#

Mei

peak escarp
#

yeah there's only 1

ivory garnet
#

unfortunate

peak escarp
#

unless they add more that they haven't shown

ivory garnet
#

thats what im guessing

vocal marsh
#

Have they had a zodiac based skin every year?

peak escarp
#

no

limpid agate
#

They usually dont

peak escarp
#

the only year they did was Bastion's Rooster skin, I think

vocal marsh
#

Was Baihu dropped last year

limpid agate
#

No, and if it did that isnt zodiac based

peak escarp
#

Baihu was 2018

ivory garnet
#

who could possibly be the next hero (the support) do you think it could possibly be a new character or someone from Yokai?

vocal marsh
#

It would be

#

If it was last year

vocal marsh
peak escarp
#

they said those clues were for future story, not specifically heroes

vocal marsh
#

Ah

#

But I think someone new

#

Another Yokai would be too soon

#

Also I’ve heard Ana and Sombra were meant to be launch characters and Echo was meant to be a OW2 character is that true?

limpid agate
#

No

ivory garnet
#

i would wonder what faction the support will be from

#

possibly null sector aswell?

limpid agate
#

We will know in Season 3

#

too early to say who for certain

ivory garnet
#

you think we would get an origin story from them too on release, and maybe even sojourn’s cinematic finally

peak escarp
#

Ana and Sombra were in development before launch of OW1

vocal marsh
#

Also in Recall Sojourns pic was shown longer and more visible than the others, was that intentional?

peak escarp
#

but they were planned for release post-launch

ivory garnet
vocal marsh
#

Ik

#

But sojourns was in that list

#

But I feel it was more clearly shown comparatively

ivory garnet
#

it was obvious we’d get her as a hero at somepoint, but I feel it was just a narrative tool

#

to show that this person will be in lore

vocal marsh
#

She was also hinted at I think in Storm Rising

#

Actually she was in it but

ivory garnet
#

yeah she was talking to the group

vocal marsh
#

She was hinted at being a bigger character

worthy rose
#

That's why she doesn't have an OW 1 skin

ivory garnet
#

or they just couldnt change her design

peak escarp
#

there's no lore reason to give her a new design

#

since she went straight from the pod to go help Winston

ivory garnet
#

argued with someone once that they give echo no attention, because they didnt give her an ow2 design

#

and they called me biased against echo

#

even though i stated she had no time to do anything as reunion was close to zero hour, and the first thing she did was go to him

peak escarp
#

and also post-Zero Hour... there's nobody around who could improve Echo's design, since Dr. Liao is dead and Torbjorn probably wouldn't want to mess with her

ivory garnet
#

they brought up the argument that she could get armored plates, but echo’s design is supposed to be moving swiftly through the air

#

armored plates would just slow her down

peak escarp
#

?

ivory garnet
#

he has a lny skin yeah, but not a zodiac one

light adder
#

when ramattra says that pharah was "one of anubis's jailers" what does that mean

peak escarp
#

Pharah's team are the ones who guard the place where Anubis is quarantined

light adder
#

what is anubis

peak escarp
#

Anubis is the god program that caused the omnic crisis

ivory garnet
#

is it a physical matter?

#

like a person

peak escarp
#

no it's a computer program

#

an AI

light adder
#

why does ramattra say that she shouldve destroyed it isnt he an omnic too

peak escarp
#

Ramattra sees Anubis as a failure

ivory garnet
#

what were to happen if Anubis “got out” or leaked

peak escarp
#

another global crisis most likely

#

good thing Pharah already stopped it

light adder
#

is ramattra a perfectionist

peak escarp
#

humanity won the crisis, Anubis lost

ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

yes

ivory garnet
#

ooh okay, ima read that one rn then

explosion

#

pretty sure

peak escarp
#

she died in an attack on her lab

ivory garnet
#

if you look in echo origin, it shows Mina Liao flying back

peak escarp
#

probably by Talon

#

When Liao was killed in an attack on an Overwatch facility, Overwatch’s leadership feared the potential of such a robot without Liao’s careful stewardship. All development on Echo was shut down, and the robot was placed into quarantine.

#

Imho rama is so well written

#

Happy kiriko isnt the norm

worthy rose
#

Is Suzu canon?

keen summit
#

Probs not

#

We saw everything exceot that in her short

#

It also seems to be a smoke bomb in all her animations still so i wonder how last minute the smoke to suzu change was

misty pasture
#

sigma lore >>

keen summit
#

funny how hes legit a hero who was made really quickly

#

while kiriko was more than a year of time to write

#

yet sigma is way better written

worthy rose
#

You guys are gonna overhype him to the point where he becomes overrated, if not already

#

need one to chill with idc if you good dont be loud

keen summit
ivory garnet
#

was abt to say lol

#

he has no writing to his name

keen summit
#

hes better than kiriko who had more time

keen summit
#

than kiriko who had more time

#

cuz sigma we know had less than a year as the actual character

#

cuz he first was mauga and then was changed to sigma cuz the kit didnt fit but they liked the kit too much to scrap it

worthy rose
#

Soldier is fucking gay?

#

Where in hell do y’all find this info?

keen summit
worthy rose
#

What is that

keen summit
#

a short story novel

#

about ana with soldier in it too

worthy rose
#

!!lorecomics

keen summit
#

just look up bastet

#

overwatch

worthy rose
#

!!loreComics

#

Bruh

keen summit
#

its a physical book

worthy rose
#

Oh

keen summit
#

...

worthy rose
#

bruh

#

You know what maybe I shouldn’t ask about stuff I don’t know about

keen summit
#

you can be interested in someone without being in a relationship

worthy rose
#

My b

keen summit
#

by that logic you cant be straight when ur single

worthy rose
#

You can know your sexuality without being in a relationship

#

Real question

keen summit
worthy rose
#

Is Winton straight?winStare

keen summit
#

not important

#

its a fucking monkey

worthy rose
#

Actually very important

#

I think as an ape he’s probably straight but it isn’t important because I don’t think he can get bitches anyways

#

Will we get more genetically modified monkeys

keen summit
worthy rose
#

sees female monkey
“Do you wanna hear my favourite joke about the periodic table?”
Winton rizz

#

Rizzton

keen summit
#

sexuality really doesnt matter

worthy rose
#

I just realised how much sadder the lore would be if Ana had been turned into a Talon sleeper agent instead of Amelie

#

Yeah their lives are on the line, the last thing they should be thinking about is rizzing

dawn topaz
worthy rose
#

Irl?

ivory garnet
#

winston has shown no love interest

bleak kayak
#

winton loves all

worthy rose
keen summit
#

There is no reason to just establish sexuality for all heroes

#

This isnt apex

#

Im all for representation but make it subtle atleast, treat gay relationships the same as straight ones and also dont make a huge deal about it

#

R6 and ow do that really well

ivory garnet
#

only sexualities we know of is ana, soldier, tracer, reaper, genji, and mercy

#

and its not dire to the story to learn abt sexualities

keen summit
#

Cuz it should be considered normal, not OH WOW LOOK AT ME IM THIS. like if it feels weird to hear people say that shit when you replace it with straight its probs bad writing

mighty widget
keen summit
#

But yeah

#

I think the best way is to do it like r6 and ow do already

mighty widget
ivory garnet
#

you’d be wrong then

keen summit
#

If soldier was straight the story wouldnt change, there arent big pointers with him being gay, no lines about hpw much he likes men

ivory garnet
#

its confirmed reaper is straight

mighty widget
#

it just showed that he apparently had a family

ivory garnet
#

its confirmed he is straight through many sources

mighty widget
#

what sources?

#

they just showed the weird lore that no one liked

#

they didnt say that he was in fact straight

keen summit
#

The only thing we habe os a short bit that wouldnt chamge if ot was a guy or a girl and its not treated like "omg you had a bf?! Are you a minority?! How did it feel to like men? We love you for who you are soldier!" No its just like it was nothing special cuz it shouldnt be. It shouldnt be a personality trait, a bad thing or even a sad thing. It should just be normal like it should be irl

#

I hate it when stories do that

#

Im highly passionate about good writing sorry for the rant

mighty widget
#

i don't always mind it, sometimes its nice to have that type of story feel relatable to people

#

but yeah not in overwatch

keen summit
ivory garnet
#

1: Soldier and Reaper play opposites of eachother, Soldier gay, Reaper straight. Soldier is Catholic, Reaper is Atheist, Soldier is a country boy, Reaper is from the city
2: Its only been shown he has been straight with 0 interest into the male gender, he has an ex-wife and kid due to him being presumed dead
3: He still very much has feelings FOR his ex-wife

keen summit
#

That i agree on

mighty widget
#

since overwatch is also in the future like i cant see people even giving a shit about it anymore lel

mighty widget
ivory garnet
ivory garnet
keen summit
#

Imho its good aslong as its done as tracer fir example

mighty widget
#

there is actually better proof of them being together than just saying that he is supposed to be a polar opposite

#

that would make the story kinda boring

ivory garnet
mighty widget
ivory garnet
#

he tried to kill soldier in cold blood

keen summit
#

Tracer isnt defined by being a lesbian, shes her own person with her own goals and personality, she doesnt hit on all females or something just is a normal person who happens to be lesbian

mighty widget
ivory garnet
#

soldier left his relationship because it wasnt healthy due to him being in a relationship with fighting/war

mighty widget
#

and that was before they made soldier come out

keen summit
#

Making stereotypes is basically whst it is

mighty widget
#

like idk about you, but i dont keep a singular picture of my closest friend on my desk or something

ivory garnet
#

^

keen summit
#

As comrades

mighty widget
#

i could try and find it

keen summit
#

Gp ahead

#

But reaper isnt the type to do thay

mighty widget
#

why wouldnt he, i mean their relationship was much more stronger than it was with Ana

#

ana truly felt like a best friend to them

#

imo

ivory garnet
#

Ana and Soldier was a stronger relationship than Soldier and Reaper

keen summit
#

This one has soldier and his ex

ivory garnet
#

and Soldier has a photo of him, reaper, and ana all together on his desk

mighty widget
#

thats not the one i mean

mighty widget
#

because of what happened to reaper

ivory garnet
#

what?

mighty widget
#

jeff kaplan himself said it

ivory garnet
#

reaper tried to kill soldier

#

how did it become stronger

mighty widget
#

as i said

#

thats when reaper turned into the reaper

#

then they werent friends anymore

#

so it was more Ana and soldier time lel

ivory garnet
#

Reaper, Soldier, and Ana were always a trio

mighty widget
#

exactly

ivory garnet
#

but Ana and Soldier had a better friendship than Soldier and Reaper

#

Soldier trusted Ana way more

mighty widget
#

yeah but thats like now

ivory garnet
#

its always been like that

mighty widget
#

i dont think so

ivory garnet
#

Reaper and Soldier both aswell dont care about love interests now

mighty widget
#

yeah not now

ivory garnet
#

yeah because Reaper lost everything he had and Soldier left his boyfriend for war

#

theres 0 indications of Reaper ever having interest into men

mighty widget
#

but soldier doesnt have that either

#

he doesnt show all the time that he had an interest in men

#

until that comic came out which showed that he used to have a husband

#

and thats it

ivory garnet
#

it was confirmed on twitter he had a boyfriend..

mighty widget
#

yeah

#

i know lol

#

thats why i said

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

yeah

ivory garnet
mighty widget
#

I mean i believe it, i feel like there is pretty good evidence that shows that they might have had something together but it hasnt yet to show on the lore or anything

ivory garnet
#

and he obviously still reminisces his ex

#

theres nothing to show it

mighty widget
#

it goes deeper than you think

ivory garnet
#

its not deep at all

#

you’re speculating with 0 evidence to back it up

#

it can be seen as shitposting atp

mighty widget
#

i dont feel like writing to you a bunch of stuff that i found, because i can tell you are already the type of person to just deny it all

ivory garnet
#

i wont deny it if its actual good evidence

mighty widget
#

if you wanna look for why it could be a possibility then why dont you look it up

ivory garnet
#

if you know why its a possibility, then why not tell

mighty widget
#

because as i said. if i am gonna start writing everything down, first off that will be a lot of information and secondly you are just gonna deny all of everything i say

#

and i dont feel like arguing with some rando on discord lol

ivory garnet
#

i wont if its good evidence

mighty widget
#

i can send you some links

ivory garnet
#

and if you arent goingto believe me with what im saying, then believe Doctor Six who is very knowledgeable on lore, or just believe the source material itself

dawn topaz
#

What did I miss?

mighty widget
#

but doctor six just says the info thats only come out from blizzard

ivory garnet
#

she gives evidence that also comes from narrative designers

#

and pieces stuff together

ivory garnet
dawn topaz
#

oof

#

I think that characters are asexual and aromantic until proven otherwise

ivory garnet
#

thats what they should be known as yes

mighty widget
#

this is a bit old, but still has some info

dawn topaz
#

Oh is this about soldier x reaper?

mighty widget
#

i had a suspicion before soldier even was announced as a gay character

#

and then when they announced it

#

it made my suspicions even bigger

mighty widget
#

i cant find the image tho with i think reaper in his office alone with jack's picture on one of the screens

#

i certainly remember that existing

dawn topaz
#

Yeah I don't buy it tbh, before his death Reyes had a loving wife and child that he cared about and after his death he only knows pain and suffering

ivory garnet
#

1: Soldier and Reaper “loved” eachother platonically as it said, they were war buddies, just like Soldier “loved” Ana platonically
2: Sprays and most skins dont ≠ canon

#

Reaper wouldnt cheat with Soldier when he had a family

dawn topaz
#

exactly

#

And Jack was probably still thinking about Vince all the time

ivory garnet
#

Reaper was a douche at sometimes, but he isnt an asshole like that

mighty widget
#

fine you guys dont have to believe

#

after all it is a theory

#

but i do believe in it

ivory garnet
#

Reaper and Soldier both still reminisce their past relationships

dawn topaz
ivory garnet
#

never been shown

mighty widget
#

omg yea it hasnt

dawn topaz
#

ok but bi people also don't cheat on their partners

mighty widget
#

but it doesnt mean he ISNT xd

#

uh

#

whatever

ivory garnet
#

and theres 0 ways to speculate unless you bring non-canon stuff in like the tumblr blog did

gray kayak
#

Fan fiction is not canon and shouldn't be discussed here.

mighty widget
#

its not non canon

#

its all in the game

#

or stuff that was either in the comics

ivory garnet
#

gameplay ≠ canon

#

sprays arent canon

mighty widget
#

okay fine

gray kayak
#

There is a photo of John and Reyes but speculating that they are bisexual as a result is fan fiction.

#

As an example.

ivory garnet
#

its not odd that friends take photos with eachother

dawn topaz
#

I'm open for a reaper x soldier relationship in some way, but at this point in time it's at most wishful thinking

ivory garnet
#

it would also make 0 sense in lore

dawn topaz
#

yeah it would take alot of good writing up to that point for something like that, plus time would have to pass for them to evolved as characters, and Jack doesn't exactly look like he'll live that long

#

which is why they also most likely won't bring the story forward in more extreme ways (like killing off one of the heroes)

ivory garnet
#

Jack also left his boyfriend because he wasnt committed to the relationship they had due to Jack being more committed to his job and love of war/fighting

dawn topaz
#

Sigma Male Grindset

limpid agate
#

Jack is explicitly gay.

gray kayak
#

I know, at least as far as canon is concerned.

#

Which is why I asked the person to stop.

limpid agate
#

Even the photo doesnt really apply as evidence however.

#

There is a photo of Torb and Rein

gray kayak
#

Correct, it does not.

ivory garnet
#

he was just giving an example on how a picture of them doesnt mean they’re gay for eachother to a recipient above

limpid agate
#

Okay I misunderstood

dawn topaz
#

Alright, more power scaling questions because I've got nothing else to do

#

Can the overwatch cast beat the team fortress 2 mercs Morcy

#

Medic's contraptions seem to outperform alot of overwatch tech with full invulnerability, a shield and the ability to revive people (mvm), but at the same time, uber needs to charge

ripe axle
#

Hi, is there any explanation of how dead eye works for Cass?

ripe axle
#

Or endless battle at least

dawn topaz
#

Here's the thing though, like...3-4 of the mercs don't need medic to revive them, medic included

dawn topaz
#

how though

limpid agate
#

Its just a standoff

limpid agate
dawn topaz
#

Scout is not just a "regular human"

#

He's god's gift to women

limpid agate
#

Like I said

dawn topaz
#

that's kind of a big deal

#

Can Sombra hack things that run on batteries?

limpid agate
#

If its a computer, yes

dawn topaz
#

Would this count as a computer?

ripe axle
#

lmao I did not expect to see a sapper

worthy rose
#

Im pretty sure she can only hack things that are wireless or have some kind of electromagnetic or radio connection idk I’m not a computer science major

#

Basically she probably can’t hack into your blender

rare trail
#

yeah i would expect that

#

so like genjis cybernetics cant be hacked

peak escarp
#

she can hack anything with a computer

sharp trench
#

Sapper is a form of ECM

rare trail
#

i wish sombra would be more like spy

#

the hacking thing is so annoying in game

#

not lore related though

sharp trench
#

scout is also in touch with God or something so

rare trail
#

wdym in touch with god?

#

he almost died

#

and he met god

sharp trench
#

something around the lines of that

rare trail
#

but like hes as in touch with god as anyone else

#

i mean he has personally seen him

#

but i think like sniper probably saw god when he died

#

this is tf2 lore not overwatch lore though

#

is an afterlife canon in overwatch?

#

like the iris exists

sharp trench
#

no probably not

rare trail
#

idk

#

like the iris can make machines sentient

sharp trench
#

tbh im inclined to believe tf2 mercs win

rare trail
#

im gonna be honest overwatch wipes tf2 team

#

maybe if tf2 team is defending they win

#

overwatch is pretty weak but tf2 team just has guns

#

they do have uber though

sharp trench
#

nah tf2 wins if they have heavy and medic with ubercharge

#

heavy solos no cap

rare trail
#

sniper outsnipes widow

#

source i said so

sharp trench
#

widow crutched on visor

peak escarp
#

visor just lets her see through walls, it doesn't make her shoot better

sharp trench
#

seeing through walls kinda big if it also illuminates the enemy you see

#

though shes probably not as good of a shot if she missed volskaya fleeing

#

could’ve def shot her

peak escarp
#

she almost did

#

she hit Volskaya's earring

sharp trench
#

panicked shots probably not the best to do as a sniper

peak escarp
#

she wasn't panicked

#

she had the shot lined up but Volskaya's bodyguards pulled her out of the way

sharp trench
#

didnt she take like 3-4 shots

#

also wtf going on between ana and rein
does rein know ana isnt dead

peak escarp
#

not yet

#

but Mercy will probably tell him

worthy rose
#

Are*

#

Trust me I wish overwatch won the match up

#

But lore wise TF2 wins

peak escarp
#

TF2 has lore?

worthy rose
#

Yeah

#

Sniper is a monster in lore

#

So is heavy

#

Soldier

#

Demo

#

Ect

dawn topaz
#

Spy could also probably do alot of damage to most overwatch characters due to their technology based lifestyle and his sapper

#

and if we assume that his face masks are just a visual gag and for teammates to know what spy is disguised as, then he could easily be as dangerous, if not more dangerous than sombra

rare trail
rare trail
#

Like how he disguised as Tom jones

#

And if the battle is happening during Halloween they can make demomans eye a hazard for all

#

Scout gets bodied tbh

#

He’s really weak

peak escarp
#

but they're all just ordinary humans

rare trail
#

They have Uber charge which makes them invincible

#

Medic might be able to raise them from the dead

#

I mean medic has revived sniper before

#

Spy could probably instakill anyone

#

Overwatch does have a 3:1 numbers advantage

peak escarp
#

well that's boring

#

there's no risk if people can just be brought back

#

at least in Overwatch people stay dead when they die

rare trail
#

revive does take time though

#

and if australium exists they just cant be killed at all

#

we dont really know engies power level rn

#

we know he can teleport

#

tf2 team probably wins

#

i imagine sniper can kill winston with a well placed shot

ivory garnet
#

says for anyone in overwatch

#

and almost any other media

rare trail
#

even if widow lands a shot on sniper he can just be revived by medic

ivory garnet
#

and what if she kills medic first

rare trail
#

then overwatch might win

#

but that depends if medic positions himself wrong

dawn topaz
ivory garnet
#

if its all vs all

#

they could probably kill medic no problem

#

widow could tell hanzo where he is

#

and scatter arrow

dawn topaz
#

medic would just come back from the dead anyway

#

you'd have to kill him like...8 times?

#

since he has the souls of his teammates in hell

worthy rose
#

Now hold on

#

Team fortress mfs have god on their side?

rare trail
worthy rose
#

Bruh

dawn topaz
#

well not really on their side

rare trail
#

medic can come back from the dead

dawn topaz
#

satan just cant do shit against medics tricks

rare trail
#

he can revive people

#

engineer can make the non dying machines

#

assuming there is australium

dawn topaz
#

but australium is so rare

ivory garnet
#

spawn camp

worthy rose
#

What else is goku in team fortress too?

#

This shit is pure fantasy

dawn topaz
#

yes and his name is tom jones

rare trail
#

ubercharge + heavy kills everything pretty much

#

spy can do a ton to all of them

#

i think overwatch loses

#

symmetra might do a lot though

worthy rose
#

Of course they do

rare trail
#

and orisa

peak escarp
#

so what we've learned here is that it's unfair to compare OW heroes to characters from other games since the power scale is completely different

rare trail
#

ow loses i think

dawn topaz
#

skill issue

rare trail
#

i think tf2 beats ow

ivory garnet
#

not surprised as OW is the weakest blizzard verse

worthy rose
#

Okay nerfs genji

peak escarp
#

it's the most grounded in realism

medic kinda carries tf2 team

ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

even with some scifi elements

worthy rose
#

It’s realistic futuristic

rare trail
worthy rose
#

Except the part where sigma comes in

ivory garnet
#

spawn camp

rare trail
#

bc no one would protect medic

ivory garnet
#

i mean if they’re trapped in a room

peak escarp
#

even Sigma is at least given a scientific explanation

ivory garnet
#

and hanzo uses scatter arrows

#

they could also very well Zarya grav and dragon

peak escarp
#

the only ones who aren't are Kiriko, the Shimada and Zenyatta

ivory garnet
#

just like pvp would

dawn topaz
#

Actually, we can already take scout and thus god out of the equation because he dies in five nights at freddy's 2

ivory garnet
#

actually just a mock series bruh💀

dawn topaz
#

Alright, I'll try to make the fairest fight possible without counting all the crazy comic shit from tf2

#

Scout is an easy pick

#

he dies.

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

junkrat ult hasnt been shown

worthy rose
#

Wdym

ivory garnet
#

cassidy ult is just heightened senses

#

ball ult hasnt been shown

worthy rose
#

Oh so we’re talking lore wise

ivory garnet
#

yeah..

worthy rose
#

Okay I feel you hol on

#

Lemme think

ivory garnet
#

just grav dragon

worthy rose
#

Anything can work with grav

#

Reinhardt

ivory garnet
#

death blossom

dawn topaz
#

Let's assume this ain't canon for the sake of bullshit

rare trail
#

ubercharge

worthy rose
#

Genji ult we know it is cannon

worthy rose
#

Tf is uber charge

rare trail
#

invincibility

ivory garnet
#

if gintama was a comic series and game:

dawn topaz
#

it's basically fortify

#

but on crack

rare trail
worthy rose
#

Is rally ult canon?

rare trail
#

no

worthy rose
#

Bruh

rare trail
#

ow gets bodied

#

scout can throw his uhh mad "milk" everyone gets lifesteal

dawn topaz
#

but anyways, soldier would be easily dealt with because his iq is very low

rare trail
#

sniper has chemical warfare pee

dawn topaz
rare trail
worthy rose
#

Wait brig can add her shield to Reinhardt’s shield I think that’s canon

worthy rose
#

Okay so they all just shoot behind the shield

#

Ez win

dawn topaz
#

I'd say for a fair fight, let's only use stock + any known weapons that appear elsewhere, like jarate, the quick fix, etc.

rare trail
#

saxton hale vs all of overwatch

worthy rose
#

Also canonically sombra is powerful her invis is really good and she can shoot while invis iirc I think it’s just her hand that appears

dawn topaz
#

I do believe tf2 could lose very easily

worthy rose
#

We just need Reinhardt’s shield

rare trail
#

okay so tf2 has
teleportation
revives
magic pee that makes you deal more damage
invincibility

#

sentry

#

dispenser

gray kayak
#

I'm beginning to forget which server I'm on with all of this TF2 talk TomLUL

worthy rose
#

Overwatch has spinning Reinhardt shield ez win

rare trail
#

i think tf2 wins

#

theyre down in numbers but that doesnt matter when you have infinite lives

worthy rose
#

Infinite lives?????

#

How

rare trail
#

medic can revive

worthy rose
#

Okay?

rare trail
#

as long as medic is alive they have infinite lives

worthy rose
#

So just kill medic

#

Easy

rare trail
#

medic has many lives

#

like 8 ish

dawn topaz
#

Overwatch has:
Australians
teleportation
sentries
shield generators

ivory garnet
#

immor field

rare trail
#

and satan guaranteed 150 year life for medic so

dawn topaz
#

honestly medic would turn to overwatch's side to study their technology and have new test subjects

worthy rose
#

Bro all we need is two tanks and all support characters and they should be able to win

peak escarp
#

Medic and Moira would get along

rare trail
#

yeah

worthy rose
#

Dva to dive and Reinhardt to tank

rare trail
#

dive doesnt work against a sentry gun

worthy rose
#

Defence matrix

dawn topaz
#

the sentry gun when I shoot it:

worthy rose
rare trail
#

also depends on if they have australium

ivory garnet
#

amplification matrix + bastion turret mode

worthy rose
#

Australians > australium

rare trail
#

spy can disguise as anyone

worthy rose
rare trail
#

demoman has literally only drank liquor for the last 30 years and is fine

dawn topaz
#

I mean tf2 had a hard time against mutated bread

rare trail
#

mutated bread is insane though

worthy rose
rare trail
#

overwatch would get bodied by mutated bread

worthy rose
#

I’ve never played tf2 are y’all talking about actual bread?

ivory garnet
#

dont they have human level durability not counting uberwhatever

worthy rose
#

Yes they do

worthy rose
ivory garnet
#

looks like a forbidden object winStare

worthy rose
#

Ana: sleep darts
Mutated bread: snores

dawn topaz
#

honestly just give the tf2 mercs tumors and they lose

#

after 3 days

ivory garnet
#

medic can revive people

#

but not get rid of tumors

rare trail
dawn topaz
#

ribs also don't grow back in tf2, but everything else can get healed

worthy rose
#

Okay can mercy canonically revive?

rare trail
#

no

ivory garnet
#

no

worthy rose
#

Moira can can’t she?

ivory garnet
#

no

#

once ur dead ur dead in ow

worthy rose
#

Okay hear me out

rare trail
#

medic can revive his bird :)

worthy rose
#

One self destruct from diva is enough to win the war

dawn topaz
#

ok but if overwatch kills more than 2 mercs, medic will have a hard time keeping up with revives

rare trail
worthy rose
#

Okay okay

ivory garnet
#

zarya grav

worthy rose
#

Zarya grav

ivory garnet
#

feel as if overwatch can do it, just a matter if it happens perfectly

worthy rose
#

They need prep time that’s it

dawn topaz
#

yeah tbh

ivory garnet
#

who has better plot armor tho, Winston or someone in tf2

worthy rose
#

But if tf2 entered the over watch universe and did a surprise attack they’re done

#

Winton angry

#

Everyone die

rare trail
#

winton gets bodied by minigun

ivory garnet
#

immortality field

worthy rose
#

Overwatch have a minigun

#

I don’t know if immortality field is canon Ngl

ivory garnet
#

it is

peak escarp
#

it is

worthy rose
#

Nice

ivory garnet
#

its in New Blood vol 5

dawn topaz
#

I mean, tf2 mercs have like, no armor, too

#

they'd drop like flies

peak escarp
#

but it has only been used to reduce the effects of an explosion

#

unknown how it would work against bullets

worthy rose
#

It’s called immortality field

ivory garnet
#

if tf2 has human level durability, OW would have no problem killing them, they’d just have to get the chance to

worthy rose
#

Aka prep time

ivory garnet
#

cuz they could do many things

#

zarya grav + reinhardt shatter and all of a sudden medic is the only one coming back

#

but they could continue to just spawn camp him

peak escarp
worthy rose
#

Wait don’t overwatch have more people that just aren’t part of overwatch?

#

Would Reinhardt’s dead leader be in the war?

ivory garnet
#

we’re only using alive named characters

worthy rose
#

And all tf2 characters are alive?

ivory garnet
#

yes

#

the mercs are all alive from my knowledge

peak escarp
#

doesn't TF2 take place more than 100 years before Overwatch?

#

Overwatch is set in the 2070s

ivory garnet
#

if so, then technology alone could kill the mercs

#

and what if we just let Anubis out and get into their systems

#

🤷‍♂️

rare trail
#

tf2 takes place in like the 1980s

ivory garnet
#

so they have cold war technology CassidyLUL

peak escarp
#

oh I thought it was 1960s

rare trail
#

i dont remember teleportation in the 80s

ivory garnet
#

eh true

#

couldnt sombra hack their devices aswell

#

does medic use a device to revive?

rare trail
#

no

dawn topaz
#

yes

ivory garnet
#

as in a computerized device

rare trail
#

uhh

#

maybe

#

i think he uses a defibulator

dawn topaz
#

he uses like, these ghostbusters traps

rare trail
#

i need to reread the comics

dawn topaz
rare trail
#

im talking about when he revives people in the comics

#

like sniper and archimedes

dawn topaz
#

Then he just points his medigun at it and heas as the bodyparts come connect back together

ivory garnet
#

😧

rare trail
#

yeah he has a few ways to revive people

dawn topaz
#

he also has a shield

#

medic tank confirmed

#

oh yeah the shield also deals damage

ivory garnet
#

how does it deal damage

dawn topaz
#

it's like, science bs

#

they run at it and get disintegrated

ivory garnet
#

scott pilgrim typa verse bruh

rare trail
#

yeah

#

tf2 is kinda op

peak escarp
#

games with canonical respawning are weird

ivory garnet
#

anyways, lets get back to ow lore lol

#

turned into a “how satire the tf2 verse can be”

peak escarp
#

yeah

#

any hopes/predictions for the story mode?

dawn topaz
#

bastion being recolored into null sector colors and being a spy

#

and infiltrating some null sector unit

peak escarp
#

they used Bastions 7 years ago, during the Uprising

ivory garnet
#

doubt Null Sector even knows of his existence

peak escarp
#

but those bots were made using old tech

#

I don't think they'd keep using an outdated model like the Bastion

ivory garnet
#

they use their own bots now

dawn topaz
#

I don't see why not

#

if it ain't broken don't fix it

peak escarp
#

they have access to better tech now, thanks to Talon

dawn topaz
#

better tech?

#

There is no "better tech"

#

there is only bastion

ivory garnet
#

materials, omniums, etc

peak escarp
#

newer models of omnics

#

like the Puller

ivory garnet
#

which one is that

peak escarp
#

using a Bastion is like using a WW2 tank

ivory garnet
#

you think bastion’s ult can be canon if torbjorn mods bastion?

dawn topaz
#

Ok but who couldn't use a ww2 tank

peak escarp
#

it was shown in 2021 - she pulls you in and kills you with her "hair"

ivory garnet
#

seems likely

#

as she has talons for hair ends

rare trail
ivory garnet
#

tank form is yes

rare trail
#

i mean didnt we see it in kings row uprising mission?

#

oh you mean artillery

peak escarp
dawn topaz
#

Because they are sick

ivory garnet
rare trail
#

yeah its probably possible with modding

dawn topaz
#

To quote hanzo, the modern ones would be "too easy to kill with"

rare trail
#

fr

#

chad bastion vs virgin modern tanks

dawn topaz
#

Plus how many of your friends could claim to have a cool ww2 tank? Exactly

#

Everyone has the new tanks

peak escarp
#

it doesn't matter how cool they are

dawn topaz
#

To you, maybe

rare trail
#

bastion is kinda outdated though

ivory garnet
#

Ramattra definitely would use the ones that can get the job done easier

peak escarp
#

if you're trying to win, you'll use the strongest option

#

which isnt Bastion

dawn topaz
#

if you need to use meta to win that's a skill issue tbh

peak escarp
#

I'm talking about in war

ivory garnet
#

i mean overwatch uses double shields so

dawn topaz
peak escarp
#

nobody talks about concepts like "meta" in real world combat

dawn topaz
#

I mean, even in real life certain weapons and other things get banned for usage in war

#

so I don't see why nobody uses the word "meta" alongside real word combat

#

anyways we are straying offtopic

rare trail
#

does ana use necrotic rounds?

ivory garnet
#

no

#

biotics

rare trail
#

the purple ones are just regular bullets?

ivory garnet
#

i mean they’re still darts

#

and she doesnt kill her enemies anymore

rare trail
#

theyre just like anesthetic?

ivory garnet
#

ig so

rare trail
#

thats lame how does she expect to like take down talon without killing anyone

#

like

#

idk

ivory garnet
#

seems perfectly fine by me

#

she is still alive after all

rare trail
#

ig so

sullen warren
#

they should just send genji

merry mason
#

why assume that the tech came from talon

chrome grotto
#

Yes. I believe a lot of tech is readily available considering Efi made Orisa out of an OR15.

dreamy epoch
#

ahem

ivory garnet
ivory garnet
#

and reaper is arguably stronger than doom

worthy rose
#

No

#

Reaper is god

dawn topaz
#

In one shot doomfist has to track tracer and genji and block their attacks

#

in the next he just stands there and takes it as if nothing is happening

ivory garnet
#

because he thought they’d actually do damage

#

he has best defense always active

peak escarp
#

rule of cool

plush shuttle
#

So my friend had about 400 hours as genji but his ps broke and he got a new xbox, is there a way for him to recover that account and all the stuff he had? He Probably had 15 gold weapons

This channel is for serious discussion strictly related to the lore of Overwatch. Shitposting will result in a loss of access.

modest raft
#

In lore is mercy a heal bot?

wheat birch
vale knoll
#

She has a voiceline about boosting when you boost someome

#

And healing

#

She also has damage beam in one of her highlight intros

modest raft
#

I didn’t know if anything in game was canon because you have voicelines between characters working together who realistically never would

peak escarp
#

the voice lines in the game are hypothetical

vale knoll
#

Well

#

If you can damage boost in the story mode i think that makes it canon

fallow quail
peak escarp
#

no

fallow quail
#

u dont need to say no just ignore it and keep moving

peak escarp
#

no

vale knoll
#

No

ivory garnet

it would have to be shown in a comic or cinematic

sullen raptor

I mean a child able to lift an axe and do full throw 360' spin while sprinting? Lol

Torb

Rein is her godfather

warm locust
#

I've noticed that yellow is always a color to represent healing, tranquility or well being in general
And purple, on the contrary, being a color to represent destruction, damage and well
Pain
And just recently i have noticed that pretty obviously, Ramattra is the inverse of Zenyatta, with Zen healing and helping with a huge yellow aura while Ram destroys and takes away life also with aura, which is purple in his case
I don't know if it is just something I'm making up while talking about this, buuuut i feel like Rammatra has more arms inspired in Zenyatta's ascension (his ultimate)
So, in reference to the power of the Iris, he has a pair of extra arms to make allusion to this

keen summit
#

Yoy are wrong in one aspect

#

Zen isnt the opposite, hes the balanced

#

Mondatta is opposite of rama and sen in in the middle hence why he has discord andharmony orb

misty pasture
#

Is there a Lucio origin/lore video ?

warm locust
#

So we are yet to see an omnic which is fully peaceful?

#

A hero omnic at least

wind portal
#

which is the case with zenyatta

warm locust
#

If Ram is complete discord, Zen is balanced

keen summit
#

Hes dead now

warm locust
#

Oh

keen summit
#

Mondatta

#

Rama and zen's master

#

He only spoke

#

Instead of taking action

#

Zen helps people but doesnt take large action

worthy rose
#

So did Moira change Widow?

limpid agate
#

Physically, yes

worthy rose
#

Oh okay, I'm still learning new stuff about Moira

#

I also wanna know, are Moira and Mercy ever Rivals? Do they hate each other?

limpid agate
#

They're not rivals

#

Moira adapted Mercy's tech and thinks Mercy is too narrow minded for not fully exploring her research, but respects what she has progressed on.
Mercy dislikes Moira for reusing and weaponizing her research, and also just not having any care for scientific morality at all.

worthy rose
#

Ohh okay.

merry mason
#

is blizzard world real

vocal marsh
#

Irl no

#

But in game the heroes have voice lines about it and while they aren’t canon, it shows they know it exists

limpid agate
silent schooner
alpine pawn
#

almost all omnics we see are peaceful lmao

silent schooner
#

Bastion is peaceful now but hasn’t always been

#

Orisa isn’t 100% passive like Zenyatta and Mondatta

vocal marsh
#

What characters haven’t answered Lucio’s animal question

#

I can think of Ana

#

And Orisa

peak escarp
#

Cassidy

#

Tracer

#

Hanzo

vocal marsh
#

Ah

peak escarp
#

Lucio needs to answer his own question

vocal marsh
#

I still find it funny that Doomfist likes starlings

Also interesting that Zen and Ram both answered ants

Also Reaper/Soldier haven’t

Failing to see what’s unfortunate here

Clearly nobody is at liberty to discuss the story mode at the moment

#

Or any of the revealed behind the scenes

ivory garnet
#

that we arent getting the sojourn cinematic any time soon

peak escarp
#

we'll get it when we get PvE

ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

having high hopes doesn't mean they can talk about it

ivory garnet
#

dont see why they need to atm, we could still be seasons out from getting it

past copper
#

Or we could be getting it for what was once the Archives event or even in the summer

#

Either way, it takes time and preparation

#

Players just need to be patient

#

How’s the saying go? Rome wasn’t built in a day

vocal marsh
#

Is that Murphy?

peak escarp
#

yes that's Murphy

vocal marsh
#

Also are Max and Efi the only significant characters with voice actors that aren’t in the game?

#

Out of the still alive characters

peak escarp
#

plus the NPCs in the cinematics

#

like Alejandra's mother, Pompamoto, Mr. Yoshida and Akari

#

depends how significant you think they are

worthy rose
#

OW 2 Orisa is a straight up murder machine

ivory garnet

bastion is quite a pacifist

#

he hasnt killed anyone yet

peak escarp

someone has a list of heroes who haven't killed anyone

To our knowledge or we know for a fact?

golden oak
ivory garnet
#

feel as if Hanzo likes wolves as his favorite animal

#

it could match with his wolf skins (tho not canon)

golden oak
ivory garnet
#

well Ana and Orisa never answered

golden oak
#

Cass doesn’t have an animal skin afaik but I’d say coyote or something

ivory garnet
#

so

#

Cassidy would most likely choose a western animal, so I’d say a coyote aswell

#

and plus Hanzo fits the wolf type, though not having a pack

#

he fits the “lone wolf” trope

golden oak
#

Ana is considered a wise character which is associated with the owl and also owls are birds of prey and Ana is a sniper so kinda fitting as well

ivory garnet
#

and Orisa just looks like a beetle

#

wouldnt be surprised if she said dog thougj

#

because doesnt she have a dog emote

golden oak
#

Her head is bug like but her body is horse like (she even has a voice line with Hanzo asking him if he wants to ride her to battle)

ivory garnet
#

she could choose different animals

golden oak
ivory garnet
#

i have no idea what tracer’s would be

wind portal
#

tracer would probably be a cheetah

golden oak
#

She’s a pilot right? Some bird maybe then?

ivory garnet
#

falcon?

golden oak
#

What about a bird that is also really fast

ivory garnet
#

a falcon

#

fastest breed of falcon can reach 240mph

#

which is the fastest bird in the world

golden oak
#

Did pharah say her animal?

ivory garnet
#

i believe everyone has besides 5 people

not including lucio

Did sigma say it?

peak escarp
#

Sigma hasn't

golden oak

What about pharah

peak escarp
ivory garnet
#

winston has us as his favorite animals :]

golden oak
#

Pharahs response doesn’t really fit her, I guess that’s why I didn’t remember it

The Karelian Bear Dog (Karjalankarhukoira) is a Finnish breed of dog. In its home country, it is seen by many as a national treasure. Karelian Bear Dogs will hunt a variety of animals. Its quick reflexes and fearless nature have made it very popular for hunting large game including brown bears, moose, and wild boar. It was the breed's ability to...

The Flemish Giant rabbit is the largest breed of domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus). Flemish Giants are historically a utility breed used for their fur and meat. They are often kept as pets as they are known for being docile and patient when being handled.

#

Though Doom and Genji's are unexpected

ivory garnet
#

2 spreads of PvE units we may face

#

we MAY also fight a Titan class omnic

#

unless its just for background purposes

#

and its possible we may fight null sector Or14s and Bastion models

#

Bastion model on the left, Or14 on the right

wind portal
ivory garnet
#

the difficulty will go up depending on who you are facing

#

because theres null sector bots

#

(the ones we saw in Zero Hour)

#

and advanced Null sector bots

#

that have a reddish orange armor

#

elite troopers ig

wind portal
ivory garnet
#

we could expect a mission thats in Korea/Busan

#

and we fight gwshin or null sector

wind portal
#

Gwishin sounds cool tbh

ivory garnet
#

i hope they expand the gwishin more

wind portal
#

I prefer their omnic designs to the null sector even if they're the lesser omnics combat wise

ivory garnet
#

i just hope we get an arc in the PvE that expands on them

#

they have amazing designs

wind portal
#

d.va lucio pve arc in busan

ivory garnet
#

speaking from the robots we saw and bastion’s gwishin design

#

and where do they come from

#

who is their maker/leader

wind portal
#

man it would be really nice if we get a rammattra boss fight though since he's appearantly going to be a major part of the null sector fights

ivory garnet
#

I think we will

#

would be a big let down if we didnt

wind portal
#

I want it to be hard

ivory garnet
#

they’d have to gigabuff him

wind portal
#

then Ram learns talon is bad and joins OW

ivory garnet
#

(pve only)

#

feel as if Overwatch will destroy him completely

wind portal
#

Zen might prevent that

#

if Zen is a part of the fight at all

#

which is a big possibility

ivory garnet
#

we’ll see though, because we did see Genji with Zen

#

so maybe he brings Zen to the ow hw

wind portal
#

Zen would also be the only one to convince Ram given their history in the past

ivory garnet
#

hq

#

interesting though is that Widowmaker and Sombra are seemingly tryingto assassinate zen?

#

with some foot soldiers

#

certainly cant wait for that section

wind portal
#

I doubt they'd be able to since Zen didn't seem phased and Genji is more skilled than both Widow and Sombra

#

I would assume Zen is also more skilled since he was in part responsible for reforming and training genji
