meager kraken

i do watch the movies
the Punisher is an antihero that believes throwing the villains in jail isn't enough
he kills criminals

@peak escarp are you truly no good with Cassidy?
surely you have to be decent with him

the only thing I'm pro at is the lore

I hate that they’re recycling old skins for events ): I feel like there’s no motivation to do them
Like the valentines event
rare trail
yeah
having cupid skin for the event wouldve been better not really lroe related though

they reuse old skins because the new players haven't had a chance to earn them

I love the BW skins lol

blackwatch and talon skins are really good

i dont think shes been there

when is that said?
whole otter
Junker queen-Ana dialogue
rare trail
oh okay which voice line are you talking about?
whole otter
I can send it but give me a second
Junker Queen: Have I seen you before?
Ana: It's possible. I've passed through Junkertown once or twice.
Junker Queen: You're the one who kicked Red Ned in the wicker basket!
Ana: He started it.
Sorry for late respond
rare trail
huh ig ana just traveled there sometime after widow shot her
looking for someone in talon there maybe
whole otter
Its interesting that they are met
Like she has dialogued with other junkers too. But none of them mentions she been in Junkertown
Maybe that wastelander skin comes from that?
rare trail
yeah she might have passed through when they werent there or smth
bc junkrat and roadhog got kicked out a while ago and hammond isnt there all the time
whole otter
After "The Plan" maybe?
They were banned from junkertown
Except hammond
If she played basket
Maybe she played Reckoning (i probably wrote it wrong sorry)
rare trail
i doubt ana would compete in the reckoning
she doesnt really wanna be queen on junkertown

Tbh I know Reaper's real name is Gabriel Reyes
fickle flower
He served as a police officer in LA
Then joined the US Military (not sure what branch)
worthy rose
and became soilder 24 and jack aka soilder became soilder 76
worthy rose
but he hated that jack got more attention

when i catch kay flock he gettting boomed
fickle flower
but he hated that jack got more attention
he also was reluctant on the position he held
worthy rose
ye
chrome ruin
star platinum
rare trail
?
fickle flower
?
no clue
But anyway
because Reyes believed that ROE prevented actual work from being done, he eventually was selected for blackwatch
During that time, he searched for operatives
Moira: for her scientific knowledge and efforts
Genji: I don't know exactly what piqued Reyes' interest in him
Cole Cassidy: Proved resourceful and skilled
Cassidy was apprehended after the Deadlock Gang was busted. Reyes approached Cassidy and gave him the option to either rot behind bars or serve under him for BW
Cassidy chose the latter
I can't remember what exactly happened that led Reyes to join Talon but I know he was the reason BW was investigated and OW was shut down
at some point in between him running BW and OW engaging Null Sector, Moira enhanced Reyes' abilities (I'm a little fuzzy on that)
heres a link to the fandom page explaining the events leading up to Overwatch being disbanded
safe oriole
What happened in junkertown with Ana
I’m going to assume that the substance hog uses is the same as Ana’s, maybe she got it from junkertown? I guess it would make sense if hog and Ana used mercy’s technology considering she’s world renowned
Considering Ana only started healing and “doing more good than wrong” after everything happened with overwatch
peak escarp
Roadhog uses hogdrogen, it's anti-radiation medication
Ana uses Mercy's biotic tech
they look the same for gameplay purposes, to indicate that they both heal
safe oriole

Australia is a wasteland

why widow so thicc? and how does this affect lebrons legacy?

I saw a video talking about Hanzo having 2 dragons and Genji having one is there...
because hanzo is twice the man genji is

Hanzo has 2 dragons to fill up the hitbox of his ultimate in the game
there is no lore reason for him to have 2 dragons

If that were true he’d have a blue and green dragon
austere agate
so is genjis mask attached to his face?
I wonder how much of his original body is left, bc in his black watch skin it looks like only from the chest up minus his right arm
austere agate
if they ever went into detail about the fight between hanzo and genji that would be really cool, he had to mess him up pretty bad lol
on that same note, does reaper ever take off his mask?
austere agate
ok yea lol but have they shown it, I wonder if he had some kinda drastic damage to his face from his fight with jack
rare trail
yeah theres damage to his face after the explosoion
peak escarp
it's unknown how much of Genji's injuries are from the fight and how much are voluntary augmentation
all we know is that the fight left him unable to walk
so Hanzo likely severed his spine
I think his arms/legs were replaced with cybernetics, not cut off by Hanzo
austere agate
so Hanzo likely severed his spine
oof
hanzo really must’ve been much better with the blade cuz it doesn’t seem like genji had left even a mark on him
ivory garnet
genji was also ambushed by Hanzo
rare trail
do you think peak hanzo could beat peak kirikos mom?
ivory garnet
its most likely Hanzo defeated Genji without much force from Genji
rare trail
in swordfighting
ivory garnet
maybe, who knows
peak escarp
some people theorize that it was an attack from behind
austere agate
but why even try to kill him in the first place
wasn’t he supposed to just “straighten him out” from his playboy lifestyle
rare trail
bc he wasnt really loyal to the clan
i think when genji said like "i dont wanna be a life criminal" hanzo got angry and like nearly killed him
austere agate
maybe a slight overreaction
rare trail
why would the elders want genji dead
opaque scroll
or wait do i misremember the story
i thought the clan elders wanted hanzo to either persuade him to be a part of the operations or eliminate him
ivory garnet
they wanted genji back in the light or hanzo to kill genji
hanzo didnt want to kill him

its just to show the timeline
not everything is in there
Doctor Six made that a while back i think

Is there any info on how and why numbani was formed? Its existence implies there was some sort of tension within Nigeria at least

I just know that sym and lucio dont like each other
lost plume
because of something that sym's company did to numbani

Symm and Lucio are growing to like eachother in voicelines

sym isnt connected to numbani

The Vishkar Corporation is a company based in southern India. After the Omnic Crisis, the corporation was responsible for developing new self-sustaining urban areas to house those affected. It is known to operate across the globe, including in Utopaea and Rio de Janeiro.
i think numbani was part of that ahha
rare trail
you're just assuming numbani was a part of that?
i dont remember any vishkar stuff on the map

But Lúcio's close-knit community was thrown into chaos when the multinational Vishkar Corporation secured a contract to redevelop large tracts of the city. Lúcio and his neighbors had been told that the development would improve their lives. However, that promise never became a reality. Vishkar imposed controls on the residents in the name of building a more orderly society: enforcing curfews, cracking down on what the company perceived as lawless behavior, and exploiting the populace as a cheap labor force.
Lúcio wouldn't stand for it. He stole Vishkar sonic technology that had been used to suppress the people, and he converted it into a tool to rally them to action. In a popular uprising, they drove Vishkar out of their neighborhoods. Lúcio's leadership made him a star overnight and a symbol for positive social change. His music skyrocketed in popularity. Whereas he had once performed locally, he was now filling arenas across the world."
but you're right
maybe numbani wasnt
im just basing it off lucio and sym interactions
grand wedge
Is there any info on how and why numbani was formed? Its existence implies there...
There was an Omnium in Nigeria - when the Crisis began. (it's implied it was based near Lagos)
Numbani i was formed after the Crisis thanks to the Under Secretary of the UN, Gabrielle Adawe.
There is a plaque at Numbani airport that says this :
"GABRIELLE ADAWE - Achitect of Peace -
Former UN Undersecretary general Gabrielle Adawe was one of the main advocates in the foundation of Overwatch and key figures for securing peace after the Omnic Crisis. At the end of the war, Awawe was intrumental in negociating peace between humans and omnics, establishing the city of numbani and overseeing its development for many years. "

Lucio is from Brazil, not Numbani

I think it will be a new character

gritty yarrow
me personally im hoping for a dva mech team member
alpine pawn
i just have a hard time seeing the meka squad as supports their so big which is awful for a rol that has to stay alive and avoid uneccesary risks
viscid flame
I can only see a new MEKA character being a thing if it's like Hammond where there's no Demech mechanic
twilit patrol
Really ?
alpine pawn
dont do that
gritty yarrow
cap season 4 will have a support and nothing else revealed
alpine pawn
we just know the next one will be support yes
grand wedge
Lore wise we only have hints for the Pan-Atlantic Arcology, the Martins and the Collective. We don’t know if the next hero will be related to those clues or not…
And gameplay wise we just know they will have a unique way to interact with the team… let’s hope to see some teasers at some point
gritty yarrow
well yea hopefully soon, they had announced ramattra 2 months before his actual debut so maybe
and we have like 40 something days left in the season
alpine pawn
how many weeks is that?
gritty yarrow
47 days
alpine pawn
idk i just need four more to get the battle pass cause, junkrat skin
gritty yarrow
about 6 weks
gritty yarrow
junkrat and zarya skin were eh, his riptire design was lackluster imo, sigma best skin

the midseason patch is next week, still a bit early

yeah but idk i like the thematic and the color palet a lot besides that way ill also get the sombra and jq skins for 1000 credits
gritty yarrow
yea suppose a week after that but we wil just have to wait and see, but them just saying ooh the new hero interacts with team, thats ass description could have atleast like did one of those things where they post like 2 pics and make you guess for said hype
worthy rose
im so hyped for pve
tropic plume
hi

Bruuuh I want PVE so bad
I hope it’s May/June release
Cuz they’ve been working a lot since ow1 days for PVE content
fickle flower
So what's going to happen in the upcoming PvE mode?
Is it going to be like OW1 where it's limited and has 3 stories or....
ivory garnet
no
its a continuous story
revolving around the power of Null Sector
and Overwatch getting back together

the midseason patch is next week, still a bit early
Junk nerfs? While sym is still broken

Lore discussion only pls Doc

will they do another archive event?

not likely

Lore discussion only pls Doc<:CassidyHowdy:710408952524963841>
someone asked if we'd get hints about the next hero at midseason
dense nebula
Who are our guesses based on lore?
Mauga is still up for grabs for sure
That Indiana Jones bloke too
past copper
I kinda believe they might bring archives back for a final time. Just for new players to get OW1 skins and what not
Wouldn’t really mean much to long time players, but you never know
rare trail
mauga is gonna be a tank so the new hero isnt gonna be him
the new hero is a support
sanjay and maximilean are possible but both are unlikely
pale turret
Obsolete?
limpid agate
I think Nameless and upcoming Sombra reworks replace any possibility of Lynx becoming a hero
pale turret
People keep mentioning "Nameless". Is that a character?
limpid agate
Nameless is one of the founders of Null Sector
They dont have a name
That's why they go by the Nameless
pale turret
I'm looking at their design.

!!wiki nameless

For more information about the game, please refer to the wiki: https://overwatch.gamepedia.com/nameless

Literally just a redesign of Lynx
limpid agate
Yes

@cosmic quest Shitposting will result in a loss of access.

Lynx Seventeen = base OW1 outfit
Nameless = base OW2 outfit
I think Blizzard's just doing a goof
limpid agate
They're two different people
peak escarp
they're the same model of omnic, but not the same person
pale turret
Yeah, I know. Blizzard "confirmed" this already. Do you know how many times writers "confirmed" a character wasn't a character just to keep up suspense?
Just so people wouldn't be in the know?
limpid agate
In Overwatch? Zero.
pale turret
Sure, lets say it's the same model. And they're totally two different characters.
peak escarp
pale turret
But why would they both be wearing teal outfits? Is that a requirement?
peak escarp
I asked myself
limpid agate
Its probably because they had the visual design lined up for a hero
But replaced the character with a different one
Instead of an unimportant numbani hacker, it's now a very plot relevant character with "shadows"
ivory garnet
bunny omnic :)
pale turret
Well I suppose I'll just be stubborn until the end when they either put Lynx in the game, or reveal the name of "Nameless"
ivory garnet
nameless is dead right
limpid agate
no
ivory garnet
or was that someone else
limpid agate
lanet
limpid agate
Correct
ivory garnet
did the bob model guy die aswell?

No

its bc of kings row invasion iirc
limpid agate
The story is Reflections
young lily
ngl bruh it would be cool to see sigmas backstory more in depth in a animated story
peak escarp
there's not much to see
young lily
maybe you see talon breaking him out and taking out the guards
young lily
they just find him in a unstable state talking to himself
peak escarp
that happened in Code of Violence
ivory garnet
no worries :D
rare trail
she cant breathe
she can breathe
rare trail
her heart beat is slower bc of a surgery
golden oak
Is Moira’s fade ability canon?
rare trail
nah
golden oak
Oh, I thought she modified herself in similar way she did to Gabriel
peak escarp
she did
golden oak
Also do we know why’s her arm tainted?
wind portal
Oh, I thought she modified herself in similar way she did to Gabriel
she uses the same dna repairing whatever it is on Reyes
ivory garnet
i dont think she does
peak escarp
it's likely that she used Reyes's DNA to create her own enhancements
ivory garnet
also
big question
are the sections that the bandages are covering his skin?
near his elbow area
ivory garnet
yes
so did he lose some pigment?
because he is much more tan in his blackwatch skin
ivory garnet
yeah i forgot about that
peak escarp
but he's not that dark skinned to begin with
wind portal
blackwatch was when he was started to get experimented on
ivory garnet
but due to his constant regening/degenerating cells, wouldnt that mean he'd still have the same pigment?
peak escarp
maybe the regenerating cells are damaged
ivory garnet
hm, true
just always wondered that
because the photo we were given that showed part of his face
he was still the same pigment as his blackwatch
peak escarp
a surprising number of people think that Reyes is Black/dark skinned
true locust
Isn’t he Hispanic?
ivory garnet
i dont think he is black or dark skinned, just knew he was more tan than what his reaper skin shows
yes
peak escarp
Isn’t he Hispanic?
yes
ivory garnet
he is mexican iirc
ivory garnet
could also just be shades aswell
because he seems to be in a dark area of the room
i guess he lost some pigment
when he was in dusk uniform
which was his first uniform right? or was it a special uniform given for the extraction of Sigma
peak escarp
he probably made it himself
ivory garnet
hope they continue making archive skins, idk what source they can use but they're usually all really good
and not "archive" but like what characters worn in the past
peak escarp
there's not many that haven't already been done
Zenyatta should get a Shambali skin though
ivory garnet
I guess Ramattra's "Travelling Monk" skin could be counted as an "archive" skin
peak escarp
and Sojourn's Captain Chase
ivory garnet
true
peak escarp
and JQ's Wastelander
ivory garnet
yeah i was just abt to type that
would be cool if that skin had her crown
Kiriko seems to have worn the same thing since she was a child lol
its just more modernized
peak escarp
her crown is in a victory pose from season 1
ivory garnet
saw this tiktoker telling abt origins of characters
this topic was ana
they said she had a mechanical right eye
thats not true right
peak escarp
she did
ivory garnet
oh really?
true locust
in the botanist skin right?
peak escarp
she had a cybernetic eye
true locust
idk what it is but it’s a pretty robotic looking eye for the botanist skin on ana
yeah….
peak escarp
true locust
oh really?
peak escarp
Widowmaker shot her scope, and the shrapnel hit Ana's cybernetic eye
ivory garnet
definition of no-scoping lol
peak escarp
giving her a concussion and amnesia
ivory garnet
lost her memory?
peak escarp
ivory garnet
tiktok also said that
true locust
Janina Kowalska?
peak escarp
Janina Kowalska?
the Polish equivalent of Jane Doe
true locust
ohhh
peak escarp
she had amnesia after being shot, but she has recovered most of her memory
true locust
i see
also i had the Shrike skin for ana for a whole season now without knowing the lore behind it and i finally found out today
peak escarp
gee it sure would be nice if I could share quotes without getting muted 😐
anyway, in Bastet she mentions losing her memory after being shot
ivory garnet

Is it true
That mercy and road hog are canonically married ?
Not tryna troll or sun
Heard someone say it
And wanted to know if it was true?
ivory garnet
no, it was a joke said by one of the narrative teams

Are there any gay/lesbian heroes in OW?
ivory garnet
tracer is lesbian
soldier is gay
everyone else can be thought as a-sexual
Reaper and Ana are most likely straight
Torb is straight
foggy ore
None of the hereos currently are openly trans or nb right?
clear kestrel
playing through archives with all the hero reworks is gonna be interesting
I imagine the Orisa/Bastion combo doesn't work as well as it used to
worthy rose
None of the hereos currently are openly trans or nb right?
Current heroes no but there is a canon character that goes by they/them, an Omnic that helped Zarya hunt down Sombra
foggy ore
We deserve at least one imo. I also do headcanon lucio and moira are trans
worthy rose
Yeah, I mean Bastion is canonically referred to as “it” but a human being nb or smth would be cool lol
foggy ore
Gender for omnics is kinda just what they want to be referred to as. If bastion is OK being an it then good for it!
ivory garnet
playing through archives with all the hero reworks is gonna be interesting
we wont likely get archives again
foggy ore
I mean gender for humans should also be that but society
clear kestrel
we wont likely get archives again
how do you know that?
ivory garnet
its not likely with PvE coming
worthy rose
I mean gender for humans should also be that but society

clear kestrel
yea they do

The archives pve is not as in depth as the full pve mode will be

pink mercy is in the icons tab, doesnt mean we’ll get it back

that's different lol

its the same thing

it's really not
