[coral breach]

Sorry, what do you mean by 'shown'

[ivory garnet]

Reasons:

1. They’re the only 2 playable heroes with white day/valentines day interactions
2. The have wrote eachother letters, assumed love notes

[coral breach]

Oh that's cool, thank you

[ivory garnet]

Mercy: I got you some chocolates today, Genji. Swiss. They're the best!
Genji: Thank you Angela. Perhaps you could share them with me?

Genji: Angela, I have some chocolates for you....not Swiss.
Mercy: [sigh] I suppose they will have to do. Thank you Genji.

[coral breach]

That's pretty cool, I maybe weird but i personally don't like shipping them

[ivory garnet]

its not for everyone lol

i dont ship unless its pretty much canon, which is only in this case

[coral breach]

Yes, but I respect everyone's view. Thank you

[ivory garnet]

[coral breach]

Btw is there anything between Ashe and Cassidy?

[ivory garnet]

Ashe formed the deadlock gang with her co-founder Cassidy

I dont believe they had any relationship

like romance

I believe it was more brother & sister

[keen summit]

its hinted a bit that they had something but never outright stated

[coral breach]

That's good, i always had a thing for cowboys

[worthy rose]

what about lucio x dva ?? i heard the voice line where lucio says she is her fav song or something ..

[grand wedge]

Dva's name is Hana Song

In the lore they haven't met (that we know of)

[worthy rose]

yeahh i ship them so cute

[twilit patrol]

I heard the same with Kiriko

[worthy rose]

the thing is its in somewhat voice line actually.. where the match starts and the the two of them interact ..

[upbeat lotus]

someone remind me who lucio has officially met in canon lore? i stumbled on a couple lucio x genji shippers and idk if this would actually be plausible in canon or they're just yeeting stuff around

not that it matters, it's a cute ship. but i wanna know what i'm looking at

hol up is lucio really that short?????????

lmao i imagined him as much taller

wtf tf

[grand wedge]

Lucio met Efi and Orisa

(he'll meet Overwatch because of that Rio mission demo (depends how they change it from demo to story mission) - but for now he didn't as far as we know)

[twilit patrol]

Lúcio will join Overwatch we see that in some short from Blizzconline

[limpid agate]

That wasnt a short, that was Overwatch 2 PvE

What was (at the time) the first mission of the campaign, Lucio joins Overwatch

[golden oak]

Didn’t Lucio help protect people from doomfist in numbani

[grand wedge]

Yes - that's how he met Efi and Orisa (and Doomfist)

[golden oak]

So Overwatch wasn’t there

[grand wedge]

Indeed

[tepid sinew]

my fav ship is rein x rein

[twilit patrol]

Rein x Ana you meant

[frigid adder]

is Ana Pharahs mother?

[twilit patrol]

Exactly

[frigid adder]

is she ?

[peak escarp]

yes she is

[twilit patrol]

Someone else has to say it i see

[frigid adder]

yes

chech this out

[peak escarp]

this server is for English only

[frigid adder]

how do you know its not english?

[peak escarp]

you cant tell me im wrong tho

[frigid adder]

he is SPITTING some facts

[clear oriole]

Genjis back story is the saddest

[twilit patrol]

For me this is Rein

[clear oriole]

Fr tho

His is second sadest in my opinion

[worthy rose]

Mei's backstory is really sad

[tepid sinew]

she deserves it

[worthy rose]

💯

does overwatch commit warcrimes

[clear oriole]

Fr 100 percent bru

[peak escarp]

Mei hasn't done anything to deserve having all her friends die

[last garden]

Sombra and Mei should die in lore 🗣

[peak escarp]

why

that wouldn't remove them from the game

[twilit patrol]

[last garden]

[twilit patrol]

Reaper should die because i hate him

(No)

[last garden]

Last time I checked doctors only speak when there is a patient in the room 😡

[rain shoal]

true but people take the gameplay with and against her as a way to justify this...

[safe oriole]

Mei is so sweet I genuinely love her character, her story is heartbreaking

[onyx vigil]

[peak escarp]

why do people keep asking that?

[rain shoal]

bruh ikr! im confused

[twilit patrol]

I don't know and i don't want to talk about it

[pale smelt]

prob just trolling XD

[quiet rune]

It is the symbol of the anti-lore organization

[sly beacon]

How many doomfists have there been?

And another df related question, which doomfist did orisa "chase out" of numbani?

[rare trail]

orisa chased out the main doomfist in game

there have been three doomfists iirc

[sly beacon]

So akande?

[peak escarp]

yes

the other two are dead

[umbral coral]

where would be the correct channel to speculate about future stuff?

im going insane cause i found this random tweet and no one is talking about if its fake or not
supposedly "loot boy" the online collectors card site leaked a character for overwatch 2 which i dont think we've seen before

i used google lens to try to see if it found any image of it, in case it was some random image from a poster on a ow map or a character from a different franchise, but nothing came up except the link to the loot boy site

it does kinda look like ow's 2d artstyle but not like their hero design style
i kinda hope its not real lol, but ill spoiler it in case it is
||https://twitter.com/itz_ejfr/status/1640816633106104323?s=20||

unless the hero will have their helmet off most of the time like pharah and the face is cute, this definitely doesnt fit the "cute" description jared used 😅

[rare trail]

feels fake

[umbral coral]

yea

[rare trail]

build looks too big to be a support

[peak escarp]

doesn't look like a support

[umbral coral]

i thought it would be worth showing people to decide if its fake

[umbral coral]

i mean brig is a thing haha

and overlord

[rare trail]

overlord isnt in the game though

[umbral coral]

mhm

[rare trail]

and brig is pretty tiny

[ivory garnet]

brig is pretty tiny

she has nearly the same hitbox as bap

the character shown looks like a more futuristic Reinhardt football skin

[sly beacon]

Probaly gonna be a talon support right?

I hope so 😔

[limpid agate]

Probably not.

[ivory garnet]

probably not

our next talon hero is most likely Mauga

[midnight robin]

how did mcree lose his arm

[peak escarp]

we don't know yet

[pine kelp]

Hello

Hanzo Shimada had always preferred to work alone, but ever since he had started working with Reaper, he had found himself becoming more and more reliant on his ally.

Their latest mission was to infiltrate a high-security Overwatch facility and retrieve a valuable piece of technology. But things had gone wrong, and now they were facing off against the Overwatch team itself.

Hanzo knew they were outnumbered and outgunned, but he wasn't about to give up without a fight. He pulled out his bow, aimed carefully, and unleashed his ultimate ability.

Dragons coiled and twisted through the air, tearing through the Overwatch operatives and leaving destruction in their wake. Hanzo and Reaper took advantage of the chaos and made a break for it.

They ran through the halls of the facility, dodging gunfire and narrowly avoiding being captured. But they were determined, and they didn't stop until they were safely outside.

Once they were outside, Hanzo collapsed, panting and sweating. Reaper leaned over him, his face inscrutable. "You did well," he said, offering a hand to help Hanzo up.

Hanzo took his hand and stood up, wincing as he felt the pain from his injuries. "We need to get out of here," he said, looking around nervously. "They'll be after us soon."

Reaper nodded, and together they made their way to a waiting vehicle. As they drove away, Hanzo couldn't help but think about the future. They had just taken on one of the most powerful organizations in the world, and they had come out on top. It was a dangerous game they were playing, but somehow, Hanzo knew that they would be able to survive together.

-ChatGPT

Would this be a nice story?

[peak escarp]

this is not the place for fanfiction

or things written by AI

also Hanzo would never be working with Reaper or against Overwatch

[pine kelp]

oh ok sorry

[keen summit]

This is getting rediculous

[keen summit]

Ehhhh keep in mind they gotta be "cute"

The main candidates from talon who we know would be sanjay or MAYBE with a big maybe there max

And both wouldnt really be called cute

Only hero candidate who could be considered cute would be iggy i think

But i think we wouldve had some buildup cuz of her connections to Kace, overwatch looking into him snd him seemingly being connected to rama. Like a line from Winston to rama asking where kace is or atleast a Twitter post. Not this radio silence bout new hero

[limpid agate]

I wouldn't say Iggy is a hero candidate

I would say the only hero candidate we have physically seen that can be considered Mercy cute would be... D.Mon or Overlord. And we know its not D.Mon or Overlord

So its probably someone we've never seen before

[jovial orbit]

Wait I am sorry did I fall victim to false info when I read a Dev stated the char would be affiliated to dva?

[peak escarp]

they never said that

[jovial orbit]

How sad

[ivory garnet]

My guess is its someone connected to the collective

not talon or someone we know of already

[keen summit]

tbf she had scientist background and is most likely the leader for the underground rn + has mercy's caring personality

[grand wedge]

Iggy is more hero material than Dae-Hyunn or any MEKA squad members (for now)

[keen summit]

she atleast has more to her than "dva's friend and mechanic"

[limpid agate]

I think Dae-hyun has just as little of a chance of becoming a hero as Iggy

Iggy is also not

Mercy Cute

Because Mercy isn't cute. She's just attractive. I have no idea why that word was used.

[jovial orbit]

What about anyone from Kirikos Vigilante Squad?

Just thinking... because we have not seen any of their faces yet

[limpid agate]

They're incredibly unimportant and recent background nobodies

We have seen their faces

We dont have names to attach to the faces

[jovial orbit]

True, I see that

[keen summit]

maybe in personality tho, thats why i compared the personality.

cuz mercy and iggy are both the types who dont anyone to get hurt

that could be considered cute ig

its the only thing we can work with rn tho

[keen summit]

my reason is that she has actual ties to the main story cuz of Kace and has actual yknow characterization, a backstory partly and also well has a very logical way of how she could work with healing.

[limpid agate]

I feel they should reintroduce her to the story first before even considering her as a character.

[keen summit]

yeah same

[limpid agate]

She doesnt even get a name drop as an interaction

[keen summit]

thats what i said aswell

[limpid agate]

Also you dont need to ping every time

[keen summit]

i just use reply forgot to do no ping

[keen summit]

but yes thats what i mentioned aswell. i doubt shes next hero just cause if she was they would likely atleast build it up as same reason why i think she is a hero candidate, her ties to kace who is tied to null sector, would also be a way to tease her. like winston talking to tracer for example bout getting iggy to help track down kace. or confronting rama about him. that would make sense and give iggy a reason to return to the story

so unless overwatch just drops the ball on teasing in general i doubt shes the next but shes the only one who i could think of who we know. so i think itll be a new hero even tho its stupid espec with that to not build them up

cuz unless they do another sigma level origin story or also have a cinematic like ashe they'll probs have very little hype

[worthy rose]

I have a question, it’s for a OC. This character is a young man from Greece🇬🇷 with a weak body, so he can’t really fight. However, he has a unique ability to possess technology, and he fights with a huge robot he possesses

I know some characters get their from technology, but are possibilities of already having the powers to begin with

[digital forum]

Is it known publicly that Ramattra is the head of Null Sector? Or is it just Null Sector the extremist group.

[safe oriole]

Ramattra is the founder and only leader of null sector

Which I believe is known

[keen summit]

Its not general knowledge for people

[keen summit]

I mean it could work but not like possess (unless japanese )

More like put implants in too control it, like fulldive body suits to control it

Thing is thats basically already a hero candidate minus being weak from what we know, zephyr

[limpid agate]

Zephyr is even less of a hero candidate than Iggy

Map teasers are typically more deliberate

[austere agate]

shouldn’t they be releasing some kinda teaser for the hero if the season is over in less than two weeks

[limpid agate]

They should be

Their twitter was shadowbanned though

So it's probably just late

[worthy rose]

Lmao what

[austere agate]

oh I didn’t see that

[limpid agate]

They haven't tweeted in like 5 days

Not even for the shop change

Or a reminder about the collab ending

[worthy rose]

Yeah that’s unusual

[keen summit]

20 hours?

[limpid agate]

That tweet is from 5 days ago

Not 20 hours

You should check what day your phone thinks it is

[keen summit]

29 march

[limpid agate]

Then your Twitter is borked

[keen summit]

The comments also mentioned how its odd

However all of the twitters posted this that exact time

So atleast all eu overwatch twitters have been posting lately

[limpid agate]

Oh thats EU

Why are they posting 4 day old news

[peak escarp]

the EU account is always a little behind

[worthy rose]

Anyone else finally happy to see these skins drop

Even if it’s like one bundle at a time

[rare trail]

theyre in the hero gallery iirc

[manic sentinel]

because Blizzard devs are degenerates

[split granite]

Sup

It’s been a real long while since I’ve been here idk anyone here now

[manic sentinel]

hello, its all good

[manic sentinel]

But yeah, i cant really see it being people we've seen before

None of them seem like candidates to be either supports or 'cute'.
Let alone two of them

Im not really that interested in the people we know if, either
They're very clearly side characters

Maybe it's Overlord, but they'd probably have to work his mech into an ult or ability, as I can't see a how support character flying in a massive mech would fit into the game

[peak escarp]

it's not likely to be any of the known characters

[analog niche]

Yes

I feel like the body of sojourn makes a better design than her default, I would love this skin with her default colors and head

[keen summit]

also meka was deconfirmed till atleast s8

[worthy rose]

go outside

[signal coral]

Cute like a doctor ig

[signal coral]

Yea

[craggy wharf]

I have a feeling once the Hero is out, we're all gonna be like "why the hell were they describing them as cute, wtf"

[peak escarp]

lol probably

[torpid whale]

What do you think is the saddest ow v line

[past copper]

Depends on your definition of sad

[sly lotus]

“Yeah.. triceratops.”

[ivory garnet]

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

[worthy rose]

go outside

[peak escarp]

I think Moira's interaction with Mei is pretty sad

[young lily]

Is Moira a sociopath or psychopath or sadist

[peak escarp]

I think she just doesn't care about people's feelings

[twilit patrol]

I’m sad for Mei

[peak escarp]

she wants the science

it's truly tragic what happened to Mei

and it's incredible that she's still such a happy person

[worthy rose]

The only other Meka character I’d want playable is Casino 💚🏎️🎰💜

His possible connections with Talon(small theory) would make interesting interactions with playable Talon players

Plus his green mech would counter nicely with D.Va’s pink mech

[delicate swan]

G'day for everyone

[honest spade]

G’day

[delicate swan]

🤝

[woeful stratus]

IF CASINO BECOMES A HERO I WILL NEVER TOUCH MERCY AGAIN RAHHHHH

he’s so

[manic sentinel]

youve said like just this for the past few days, its weird as hell

[golden oak]

I never heard that in game

[golden oak]

Rein skin is funny

[golden oak]

Hanzo’s are pretty sad

[austere agate]

who’s is more sad, hanzo or genji

imo probably genji

[ivory garnet]

hanzo rn

genji has gotten over most of it

Hanzo still grieves in a mass depression

[young lily]

“I have harnessed the harness” has got to be the worst sigma line bro

it doesn’t make sense

water is wet

[rare trail]

it makes sense

[young lily]

bro what

explain

[rare trail]

he views gravity as a harness

he now controls gravity to an extent

he "harnesses" it

[young lily]

so why didn’t he say “I have harnessed gravity”

I guess it doesn’t roll of the tongue but u gotta admit it’s not a good line

[rare trail]

i have harnessed the harness sounds cooler ig

[young lily]

u right bro now I realized

[fresh crown]

are we talking abt sigma

cause only sigma has the power of gravity

[peak escarp]

yes they're talking about Sigma

[candid sleet]

bruh Moira has no chill lmao

[worthy rose]

[keen summit]

Tbf moira might not even know they were dead oh died cuz cryostasis failed

[iron plume]

oh she knew

[keen summit]

ah mb then

[peak escarp]

yeah it was international news

[modest mango]

the lucio mech

it looks like a little frog

lol

[worthy rose]

Make mei see her family die in cold blood again

[modest mango]

I'd like DMon to be playable cuz sword and shield lol

[rare trail]

i thought just her friends died

[normal steppe]

I thought it was her family and family friends

[agile marsh]

Is it ever explained how Anas bullet knows who to heal or who to damage or lorewise does she just change the bullet depending as opposed to the game

[peak escarp]

in the lore she switches darts

they considered doing that for the game, but decided it wasn't fun

[agile marsh]

Ah that makes more sense

[echo monolith]

Lucio lore

[agile marsh]

Oh yea what’s Dooms relation with Kirikos mom, all I know is from Doom and Genjis interaction

[peak escarp]

he knows about her

she is a famous swordmaster after all

[agile marsh]

That’s it? The way he says “oh… her” makes it sound like there’s more

[peak escarp]

there might be more

but we don't know about it

[agile marsh]

Oke

[peak escarp]

Genji was the second son of the Shimada crime family, who ruled over the neighbourhoods of Hanamura and Kanezaka in Tokyo - he refused to fall in line and help run the family after his father was assassinated, so his brother Hanzo was sent to force him. The confrontation escalated and Genji was left clinging to life. Overwatch agents (who had been spying on the Shimada clan) rescued him and Dr. Angela Ziegler was able to save his life. Overwatch offered Genji a cyborg body in exchange for his help dismantling his family - Genji agreed and spent the next 6 years working as an Overwatch agent, first as part of the black ops division Blackwatch, then later on the Overwatch Strike team. He was never able to accept his new cyborg body, so he left in search of inner peace, eventually finding the monk Zenyatta.

Kiriko was the daughter of Genji and Hanzo's swordmaster, Asa Yamagami, and granddaugher of the keeper of the fox shrine in Kanezaka. Kiriko trained alongside the boys as a child and became a close friend. Sojiro Shimada was murdered when she was 12, and the Shimada clan was taken down by Blackwatch shortly after, leaving a power vacuum for the Hashimoto clan to swoop in and take over. In her late teens, Kiriko formed a street gang called Yokai to fight back against the Hashimoto.

[peak escarp]

Gabriel Reyes was a former LAPD officer who enlisted in the army and signed up for the Soldier Enhancement Program during the Omnic Crisis. Along with fellow SEP member Jack Morrison, he was selected for the Overwatch Strike Team, a force put together by the UN to end the Omnic Crisis. Reyes led the team, although Morrison's leadsership qualities outshone Reyes' and after the crisis, Morrison was made Strike Commander of Overwatch, Commander Reyes chose to lead Blackwatch, the black ops division. Due to genetic complications, Reyes hired disgraced geneticist Moira O'deorain, which led to the downfall of Overwatch. Through Moira's experiments, Reyes gained wraith-like powers.

[agile marsh]

Edgy man shot people, got shot by Soldier after he got too edgy, became a shadow boy after Moira healed him

[rare trail]

he didnt get shot by soldier

he got blown up by talon or smth

[agile marsh]

Didn’t Soldier and Reaper have some big fight in like a power plant

[peak escarp]

Reyes and Morrison's friendship began to fall apart, leading to a fight between the two men - which was interrupted by an explosion that left Reyes barely alive. Moira came to his rescue and overdosed him with her experiments, turning him into Reaper.

[agile marsh]

So I was correct, pog

[peak escarp]

it wasn't a power plant

it was the Overwatch HQ in Switzerland

[agile marsh]

Potato half baked potato

who

how did i get in this channep

[warped latch]

did the first omnic crisis happen before or after "the awakening"?

and is the rogue AI anubis alive as well? or just a program

[peak escarp]

we don't know when it happened, but it was after the start of the crisis

[hollow axle]

Boo

[peak escarp]

and whether Anubis is alive depends on what you consider alive

it is an AI program though

[warped latch]

ig im asking if it is also considered sentient like aurora was, or other omnics

[peak escarp]

I don't think so, no

[warped latch]

gotcha. ty for answering :)

[rain shoal]

why does Genji say that Nepal is in danger in a map specific line?

[ivory garnet]

can you get the voice line?

[rain shoal]

im trying but its gonna take a while

[rain shoal]

finally
here:

ive only heard him say it in nepal sanctum

[peak escarp]

it's in danger because of Null Sector

[keen summit]

Wish we knew

We've still gotten nothing

2 weeks back they said we'd get news soon

[rain shoal]

ikr, i wonder if there's an in-game interaction hinting at the new hero, probably not since iirc the last time they've done that was for Moira

according to the wiki at least so maybe take it with a grain of 🧂

[keen summit]

even then we wouldnt know anything

[keen summit]

cuz yes pretty sure this was said, but you wouldnt know much from it. you wouldnt know anything or even if it would be a hero espec cuz first time we saw her she was in talon council

[wind portal]

IIRC, this old dialogue was referencing Mercy

[keen summit]

mercy wasnt in oasis ever

moira was

[grand wedge]

That was an old theory, but we know now that it was referencing to Moira and it was a hint at her future release

[golden oak]

What is the relation between vishkar and lumerico?

[ivory garnet]

there is no relation

they’re both just bad companies

[grand wedge]

High probability of being corrupted/associated with Talon

[golden oak]

Symmetra asks Sombra what she knows about them

Definitely not

They’re doing shady stuff to sabotage their competition

And ceo is in talon council

And I think they also burned down some slums in Brazil so they could make new districts there, gentrify the area

[keen summit]

pretty sure sanjay isnt CEO

[golden oak]

Whatever

[keen summit]

but we dont know if vishkar is evil or if sanjay is doing it without vishkar knowing

probs vishkar knows

[golden oak]

Didn’t they order symmetra to blackmail someone

[woeful stratus]

I don’t think this was Symmetra specifically but lucio kinda hates her because vishkar stole his fathers technology

[peak escarp]

actually, in the Lumerico emails from the Sombra ARG, there is correspondence between Lumerico's president Guillermo Portero and Vishkar's Sanjay Korpal - it seems like they're making some under-the-table deals

[weak quarry]

i want PVE :(

[twilit patrol]

Me too 😔

[dusk surge]

@peak escarp is there female omnics they told me to ask you

[peak escarp]

yes

Orisa

Iggy

Luna

just to name a few

[dusk surge]

C dad said orsia doesn’t technically count

[peak escarp]

why not?

[gray kayak]

I wasn't sure, but good to know she is

I thought the robots were only considered Omnics if they were created by Anubis(?)

[peak escarp]

robots are omnics if they were made in an omnium

Orisa is a bit of a special case, since she's made from an omnic

but the official content calls her an omnic, so she is

[gray kayak]

That's why I assumed she may not be Omnic, since she was made by the human Efi instead of by Anubis

Because Anubis created all of the Omnics right?

[peak escarp]

no

[gray kayak]

I hope I'm getting the name right

[peak escarp]

Anubis created some omnics

like Ramattra

[gray kayak]

I see

[peak escarp]

but the majority of omnics were made by humans, in omniums

[gray kayak]

But Omnics can't be created anymore, why is that?

I was under the assumption it was because of Anubis

[peak escarp]

before the omnic crisis, they were used as workers and caretakers

[gray kayak]

Is it just outlawed because of the crisis?

[peak escarp]

most of the omniums were shut down or destroyed

the remaining ones are tightly controlled

[gray kayak]

Why does Ramattra behave as if Omnics will never be made again?

[peak escarp]

or are in the hands of hostile factions, like the Siberian omnium and the East China Sea omnium

[gray kayak]

Or is it because of their sentience?

[peak escarp]

he means more the spark of life/sapience that omnics have

[gray kayak]

Omnics can be made but sentient Omnics can not?

[peak escarp]

which they were given by Aurora

correct

[gray kayak]

A lot to take in

[peak escarp]

yeah it's complicated

hopefully it gets explained in PvE

[gray kayak]

And Aurora is who?

[peak escarp]

the first sentient omnic

[gray kayak]

What awakened sentience in Aurora?

[peak escarp]

she was made by Dr. Mina Liao and was the first omnic recognized as a person

we don't know

[gray kayak]

The same Dr who created Echo?

[peak escarp]

even in-universe, it's a mystery how she gained sentience

[peak escarp]

yes

[gray kayak]

And is Echo considered an Omnic as well, or more of an AI?

[peak escarp]

I have a theory that the secret Junkrat found in the Australian omnium has to do with the secret of omnic sentience

and he will be important in ending Null Sector's war against humanity

[gray kayak]

It's a shame the lore isn't more involved in the actual game. It has much more depth than I realized.

[peak escarp]

oh yeah there's a lot to go through

have you seen my list?

[gray kayak]

Of suggested reading material?

[peak escarp]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BFYjC78shFuhpu4Fm0l99qKQznIc7lPouQaikD5YvkY/edit?usp=sharing

a list of all the lore sources sorted by release date

[gray kayak]

Yes, I saw this in the pinned messages! I'll need to sit down at some point and take a look.

Am I safe to assume that release date does not necessarily mean chronological order?

[peak escarp]

correct

for chronological order, you'll want my timeline
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19K_zQ_UM0xQ0a7tahFwKLo5BmR41GEEezWezvIoJ__E/edit?usp=sharing

[gray kayak]

Mind if I pin it?

[peak escarp]

I think it is already?

oh, no it's not

yeah go ahead

dates are given in relation to Recall [R] because we don't know the exact date of present day

[gray kayak]

I didn't think it was, seems like a good pin

I appreciate your time Doc, thanks for entertaining my questions

[peak escarp]

no problem

that's why I'm the Lore Warlord

[gray kayak]

I'll be stuck in an office for part of the weekend so I'll take a look at the pins here then

[gray kayak]

I refer people to you all of the time when they ask lore questions in other channels

"The Doc will know"

[peak escarp]

I've noticed

[gray kayak]

(I don't tell them to ping or harass you, if it becomes an issue let me know)

[peak escarp]

nah it's fine

I like answering questions

and spreading the good word

[gray kayak]

Doing the lord's work

[golden oak]

Is it true What moira says that dr Liao liked Aurora more than Echo

[peak escarp]

I expect that when we get the PvE, interest in the lore will increase and I'll be answering a lot of questions

[peak escarp]

we don't know Dr. Liao's opinions on her creations

[vocal marsh]

Maybe we may get some of her journals or something in the future

[pure lion]

You just gave up on the opportunity to say “Thanks, Doc!” simultaneously referencing his pfp being Cassidy, the voice line where Cassidy says that to thank Mercy for healing him and also his tag including Doctor in it

[jolly current]

Yo guys what if sigma has like a bad hair day and just like Absorbs the earth with a black hole????

Wait

He’s bald isn’t he

[tepid sinew]

if aurora doesnt have annoying ass beams and bombs and voice id like aurora more

[spring escarp]

hey are u a cass lover

[peak escarp]

obviously

[warped latch]

We know very little about Aurora, right? Like we don’t know yet what exactly was meant by her ‘passing into the iris’ to bring about omnic sentience

But do we know if she’s like, dead?

[ivory garnet]

I believe she is dead

[peak escarp]

yes

[young lily]

I think he is if u look closely on his helmet thing

[north walrus]

bastion works w overwatch right

[modest mango]

in ow2

I think, because he's canonically been found and refit

I think only Overwatch would be willing to work with and not instantly scrap him lol

[ivory garnet]

he most likely joins overwatch yes

[peak escarp]

we see Bastion with Overwatch in some of the storyboards from Blizzconline 2021

[ivory garnet]

yeah i forgot if there was a storyboard so I went with the safe bet

[worthy rose]

Mccree, Reaper, and Winston

Winston is number one

Dude is bada$$. He schooled Reaper and Doomfist

He's a genius, decent backstory, and humble

[snow dock]

Ramattra

even though he's basically magneto

and Zenyatta is professor x

[keen summit]

9 days, 9 fucking days and no news

[twilit patrol]

It is very worrying

[keen summit]

Yea

[worthy rose]

There's only 10 days left of this season.. they gotta give us sum soon

[twilit patrol]

I think that's how it's going to be:
April 4: hero's origin story
April 6: hero's gameplay trailer (maybe season 4 trailer too)

I'm sorry but we have to wait again

[keen summit]

Yeah its just a garbage decision

widow has a pretty cool one, hoping it gets developed on a little more tho
winston’s is so cool
sombra’s betrayal of talon is vv cool to me too, wish they did more with it

• i love sigma’s backstory too

[calm orchid]

reaper just turns emo

best character lore

[golden oak]

I really wanna see how reapers face looks like now, without the mask

I mean in the present

[peak escarp]

probably heavily scarred

but recognizable enough for Ana to recognize him

[worthy rose]

Your new profile picture is top notch

[grand wedge]

The only reference we have for his scared face - a year after the explosion

[empty karma]

what is lore

[golden oak]

Yeah but it’s not the present

[peak escarp]

a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.

in the case of Overwatch, it's the story and characters and worldbuilding

[molten shore]

Who is Fred

[gray kayak]

No shitposting

[molten shore]

I'm not is Fred an actual person

Or is it just an ashe line

[peak escarp]

it's an Ashe line

for April Fools

[molten shore]

Oh so Fred isn't like an old friend of ashe

[peak escarp]

no

[keen summit]

not that we know off no

[warped latch]

Idk if this is lore-related, but in relation to the PVE missions they said there’s going to be 50 storylines? Are these all individual missions or just different routes of the same mission?
And do we know if the missions are being released all at once or over a period of time?
(Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask)

[left hearth]

I think this would be the right place to ask, as they relate to the story. And it's likely it'll be trickled in over a longer period of time, but idk

[peak escarp]

we haven't been given a number of missions to expect

the missions will be released every season

[warped latch]

Oh gotcha. In the teaser vid it said 50 storylines in the caption- maybe that was April fools then 😅 or I’m just dumb lol

But again Thankyou for answering :)

[left hearth]

So the storyline stuff is real and not April fools?

Like the missions I mean

[peak escarp]

hmm

I wouldn't trust that number, since it's on a prank video

but maybe

[worthy rose]

ik u ain’t talking

[ivory garnet]

I’d believe the number 50 assuming that PvE is most likely ever evolving, however the video is April Fools prank itself. But if you want to go for a reach, that could also be a pre-cursor for the actual PvE trailer

[spring escarp]

anyone love cass

[ivory garnet]

i do and so does our famous Doctor Six

[merry mason]

It could be literally taken from the actual description of a real PvE trailer

[limpid agate]

Its not

Its a fake account made yesterday

[floral escarp]

Do you guys remember when Hanzo and Cassidy broke up then had a 24 min make out sesh and got back together again? I forgot what happened after that

Can someone remind me?

Can’t remember

[rare trail]

hanzo and cassidy have never met

[floral escarp]

Yes they have

Multiple times

Also

Why is Anastasia dragon lady in hanzos vid thing? Isn’t she in world of war craft or smth

Or was blizzard just feeling quirky

[rare trail]

thats for heroes of the storm

[ivory garnet]

its for Heroes of the Storm

[rare trail]

so not canon

[floral escarp]

Ooh ok

I don’t know what that is 💀

[ivory garnet]

neither was cass and hanzo, they have never met

[rare trail]

no canon things have shown them meeting

[floral escarp]

Yes they have it’s canon

[ivory garnet]

its not

[floral escarp]

yes

💀

[rare trail]

blizzard moba that like brought together a couple of their universes

[rare trail]

when have they met?

[ivory garnet]

theres no comic, novel, short story, or film to show they have met

[floral escarp]

Yes I saw it

I’ve never lied in my entire life I promise

[peak escarp]

don't feed the trolls

[floral escarp]

💀 fr

[floral escarp]

Sorry I’ll try not to

Being the bigger person 😎

[peak escarp]

I'm talking about you

not them

[floral escarp]

Ikr

Anyways

[hollow tinsel]

Who would win by lore strength, doomfist or ramattra

[jovial orbit]

Personally I do think Doomfist would just disassemble Rammatra with one punch. Rammy is a strong guy no discussion abt that, but the singular argument of Akande Ogundimu wielding THE strongest weapon in overwatch lore (at least as far as I am concerned) would be reason enough for me to think that.
In addition to this weapon, he is also very skilled on agility what we probably cannot say about Rammatra.

[warped latch]

I was also wondering where Ramattra falls on the strength scale here. He’s clearly a huge threat being the head of bull sector, but it’s not as if he’s leading every strike. I’m so curious to know how powerful he actually is and learn more about him

[peak escarp]

Ramattra doesn't have much personal strength, besides being an omnic

his strength comes from the fact that he's got an army at his command

[limpid agate]

Well, he does have quite a bit of strenght

From being a modified Revator

We just dont know how much that is

[opaque tundra]

He can throw ppl at least

[mossy spruce]

Hi

[fickle gull]

quick question: how old is kiriko?? bc the fandom wiki says shes in her early 20s but the shimada bros are in their mid-late 30s & shes seen in the flashbacks to be in their age range... so im confused.

[ivory garnet]

early-mid 20s

she is 5 or 6 in the flashbacks

[fickle gull]

.......she looked like shes 10+ years old.

[ivory garnet]

she is 5-6

genji and hanzo are teens

[fickle gull]

good to know! ty!!

[fresh crown]

@peak escarp im on a new acc

it me

from the yt video

[peak escarp]

who?

[worthy rose]

who’s the weakest hero in the lore

[worthy rose]

Possibly Mei

[rain shoal]

The fact that it took her 4 secondary fire headshots to kill a null trooper in the zero hour cinematic is clear evidence

[scenic ocean]

For OW 2 you gotta consider age, means people like soldier become weaker

[limpid agate]

Its only a year after

Soldier is still younger than Ana was in OW1

[outer locust]

bastion

everyone dogs bastion bots except maybe may but even her

[ivory garnet]

Mei

[exotic girder]

did yk mercy sells feet pics in lore confirmed

[worthy rose]

mei

mainly because i hate her ngl

[spring escarp]

well join

[novel rapids]

who do u yall think the new ow2 character is gopnna be

for season 4

[peak escarp]

a new character

someone we haven't met before

[novel rapids]

kit?

what abt their abilites

[peak escarp]

idk

[young lily]

Is there 3 different doomfists

[peak escarp]

there were

it's a title

the first was Adhabu Ngumi, who was a hero during the omnic crisis (presumed deceased)
the second was Akinjide Adeyemi, a Talon leader and mentor of the current Doomfist (killed by the current Doomfist)

the third is Akande Ogundimu, a Talon leader and heir to a prosthetics company

[lavish pagoda]

overwatch lucio

[young lily]

Is the gauntlet akande tried to steal from the other doomfists (in the ow museum) or was it just his

[warm locust]

Quick question

Why would they put the world's strongest weapon in a museum for everyone to see?

[rare trail]

its not the worlds strongest weapon

i think they just thought it was cool ig

the security is awful though i have no idea why they kept it like that

like winston and tracer shouldnt have had to be relied on to protect that gauntlet

also weird how talon didnt send more people to steal the gauntlet

maybe the others were busy?

[cunning ledge]

it's not the world's strongest weapon by itself, you could see that when that kid used it widowmaker wasn't even hurt that much

doomfist had to augment his entire body and modify the fist itself to make it as powerful as he did

[viscid flame]

A mechanized fist is sort of pointless if you don't have the training or durability to actually use it

[worldly gull]

The fist isn't the strongest but it's the most feared iirc

Imagine Escobar had a signature weapon

[tepid sinew]

has orisa's super charger always been in the last spawn point for defending on numbani

[wind portal]

the fist is a symbol of strength of the wielder more-so than it being one of the strongest weapons in lore

[tepid sinew]

they were prolly eating lunch

[wind portal]

I doubt you'd be able to compare the gauntlet to echo

[tepid sinew]

echo can copy doomfist=echo is able to easily wield the doomfist?

[wind portal]

echo doesn't have the copy ability in lore

[tepid sinew]

what does she have then, just like rapidly developing AI or whatever

[wind portal]

we don't truly know

[tepid sinew]

damn

makes sense

[wind portal]

we just know she has something in common with Aurora, which was another AI made by the same woman

[tepid sinew]

wasnt aurora liked more or sum

[wind portal]

we don't know

[tepid sinew]

i heard something like that but it mighta just been some dude bullshitting

[peak escarp]

Moira tells Echo that Dr. Liao cared more about Aurora than she cared about Echo

[wind portal]

Moira is also a funny woman

[peak escarp]

it's a museum exhibit about Efi Oladele, the girl who made Orisa

[peak escarp]

Moira is just trying to provoke her

[tepid sinew]

i like when she calls me pathetic

just me?

[vapid tusk]

do Ana, Widow, and Ashe all believe that they themselves are "the best shot"?

[vapid tusk]

also who is gamora

i mean aurora

[peak escarp]

Aurora was the first sentient omnic

she transcended to give sentience to all omnics

[vapid tusk]

^

[peak escarp]

Ana doesn't have an ego about it

[vapid tusk]

doesn't she say "i'll still be the better shot" in a widow ana voiceline

although the game isn't lore

so i guess she doesn't usually act like that

[tepid sinew]

i think ana knows shes the best sniper but shes just humble about it unlike ashe

[peak escarp]

and you didn't include Cassidy in that list

he claims to be "the fastest gun in the new West"

[tepid sinew]

who can compete with him?

[peak escarp]

nobody else in the roster uses the same kind of weapon

[golden oak]

Yeah a gun as in pistol, both Ana and Widow use a sniper rifle and Ashe is using uhh something in the middle

[peak escarp]

Ashe has a repeating rifle

[golden oak]

Yeah whatever that is

[tepid sinew]

its a repeating rifle or a lever action rifle

[golden oak]

Cool, still don’t know what that is

[tepid sinew]

A rifle that is operated by a lever

here ill make it simple

ashe uses it

thats a lever action

I looked it up and its called a repeater cuz its capable of repeating discharges between reloads but its also a lever action because its operated with a lever to prime the gun

[golden oak]

Yeah whatever, it reloads really long tho

[vapid tusk]

Vinnare: explains
Leo: cool... still don't get it

[peak escarp]

[clear oriole]

[iron plume]

@keen moat Wrong channel for that

[sly beacon]

It doesn't count?

[sly beacon]

She had an actual sniper rifle at one point i think

I dont rember💀

[limpid agate]

She did

[tepid sinew]

because it doesnt have a mag or clip to reload ofc its gonna be slow

[brisk moon]

I think you forgot to put Hanzo in that list

[foggy brook]

Hanzo is humble, he dont really think that.

[rare trail]

Hanzo doesn’t really have any aiming feats iirc

Don’t his arrows like curve and stuff anyways

[spring escarp]

anyone l;ove cass

[analog niche]

She’s not supposed to be but she somehow is

[rare trail]

?

wdym

why is she not supposed to be 24

[analog niche]

Genji and Hanzo are much older

[rare trail]

they arent the same age

Well… maybe not his whole body… 😈

[clear oriole]

Yeah for his bw skin

[clear oriole]

I hope the next hero is McCloud

Just look at that or something

[rare trail]

oh a titan character?

maybe in like s8 as a tank

[analog niche]

S8 omfg

I’ll kill myself

[rare trail]

s8 is just kinda made up

im just assuming they'll do every other season for heroes

At least we’ll get a new tank before pve

In the year 2099

[rare trail]

[rare trail]

and why do you think hes stupid

[analog niche]

He’s just a person

[rare trail]

you just want omnic chracters?

[analog niche]

Si

The only robot I don’t like is echo

She’s fine

Orisa is neat too

Bastion is literally perfect, his short is amazing

Imagine if Ramattra had a short like that

[wind portal]

most of the omnics we know of in lore are either non-combatants or wouldn't fit when compared to other potential characters

[analog niche]

Shut

I want robot heroes

Sombra counter Lynx

Or that bomb from null sector

The one in uprising

[worthy rose]

You want a robot made specifically to blow itself up to be a hero?

[analog niche]

Yes

That would be cool

[wind portal]

we already have junkrat

[analog niche]

I hate him

So much

[worthy rose]

What? You walk into the enemy team, attempt to blow someone up, then come back after 20 seconds and repeat?

[wind portal]

Junk is good comic relief

[analog niche]

He has No respawn timer

Instant respawn

They’re just like rip tire

[worthy rose]

Screw the Detonator, let me play as a Slicer

[analog niche]

But a character

[analog niche]

fr

Or play as a group of them

Ooooh

That would be a cool character, like ice climbers in smash bros

A dual character

"cute" meaning attractive

not "cute" adorable

[wind portal]

atleast we were right on being someone we've never heard of

[snow dock]

tomorrow heh

[dense nebula]

Well based on what I’m seeing right now, I think he’s going to be a more defensive support

[trail ridge]

💀

[dense nebula]

Cause he’s giving me all sorts of flags telling me he’s inspired by Ganesha

[rare trail]

apparently hes gonna use "biolight"

[dense nebula]

The biggest being the lotus he’s holding

And the elephants in the back

[trail ridge]

He looks alr

[merry mason]

Is lifelight supposed to be a version of hardlight? he's got an arm just like symmetras

[peak escarp]

he's from Thailand

[dense nebula]

Biolight is what it’s called apparently

Was Hinduism big in Thailand?

[analog niche]

They meant for the people that play tinderwatch

[wind portal]

I'd like to see how they incorporate his ult

[analog niche]

He takes the giant lotus on his back and throws it at the enemy team, f-inf slicing them in half

[wind portal]

he might be working with or had worked with Vishkar in the past

based on appearance

so some sort of failed prototype of hardlight

[dense nebula]

This might be me being biased towards inspiration from religions, but I want his ult to be some form of Dharmic pillars, hell he might not even be Hindu inspired at all and I’m just projecting what I want on him

[analog niche]

I wanted McCloud

What a man’s man he is

[trail ridge]

He better have a nice ult

[analog niche]

Hot take

He won’t

[opaque scroll]

He's from that early concept art collage with mama hong etc.

I have a feeling he's just proto reinhardt

[analog niche]

He is?

Interesting

Oh wait I read that wrong

My b, I was literally the person who brought it up

[opaque scroll]

Bottom rightish

[limpid agate]

I dont see it

[limpid agate]

None of these look like the new hero

[analog niche]

I always really wanted frost

[gray kayak]

They are talking about McCloud

[limpid agate]

Did I miss something in the

Ok

[analog niche]

Earlier conversation

[limpid agate]

Yeah McCloud is also still canon.

[opaque scroll]

Oh?

[limpid agate]

He's on a painting on King's Row

[rare trail]

was he in recall?

[limpid agate]

Or photo

Or whatever

No not Recall

[analog niche]

What a ducking hottie

Such a chad

[past copper]

He could be related to Sym through Vishkar. Just look at his arm. Same tech

[limpid agate]

McCloud has a Gears of War looking gun

[rare trail]

weird to see what looks like pharah named mercy and mercy named angelica

[opaque scroll]

Yeah

[past copper]

Hmm. You think he’s another one of Vishkar’s architects? We’ve only ever seen Sym and Sanjay after all

[analog niche]

Ikr

[opaque scroll]

Winston was supposed to have a shotgun... interesting

[rare trail]

troy looks like early rein

[analog niche]

I love how we knew echo was supposed to be support and here it says what they were working on for her

[past copper]

So, if he’s from Vishkar, his presence could expand the lore surrounding the corporate conglomerate

[rare trail]

hmm

[analog niche]

More like brig but I take your point

[rare trail]

another vishkar person could be interesting

||Lifeweaver’s kit does exactly that, including abilities that manipulate the positions of both enemies and allies in clutch moments. His Petal Platform ability generates a pressure-sensitive platform that ascends when stepped on by heroes on both teams, while his Life Grip ability shields a targeted ally and pulls them to his position.|| from the leak

sounds similar to hardlight

Oh god

||As fellow alumni of the Vishkar Architect Academy, Lifeweaver’s connection to Symmetra in Overwatch 2’s lore is reflected in the gameplay as much as it is in voice lines. “They’re both light architects, so they can both spawn constructs,” teases Thammawan. “Their kit tends to work well together.” Symmetra’s strength typically lies in her team synergy, and we anticipate that this blossoming friendship will help both heroes climb our Overwatch 2 tier list.||

another thing from the leak

[trail ridge]

Another symmetra 💀

[willow carbon]

i need a talon or null sector support besides moira

[dense nebula]

I want him

Give me William Wallace

And Robert the Bruce

[gray kayak]

Honestly looks badass

[analog niche]

Best we can do is a hamster in a giant ball

[past copper]

Well, I mean. It wouldn’t hurt to have others heroes not affiliated with Overwatch or Talon

Remember, we have other groups to use

The Junkers, Vishkar, Yokai, Hashimoto, Shimada, even the Deadlock Gang

Maybe Null Sector too, but Ram is probably enough from that

[dense nebula]

I’d like one more Null Sector rep

Maybe one of those fat priest looking omnics as a support

[past copper]

Those are clearly just NPC enemies

Especially since the Null Sector unites are little more than just drones

[peak escarp]

Corinne Duyvis and Sangu Mandanna trace Symmetra’s travels abroad to retrieve a Vishkar asset . . . and an old friend.

I guess Lifeweaver will be in Symmetra's short story

[dense nebula]

Make a high ranking one a general serving under Ram

Idc how many sharks need to be jumped

I want my fat robot support

[worthy rose]

hi

[dense nebula]

Any theories for the support after Lifeweaver?

God he needs a name change

[past copper]

I’m sure half these guys chose their own call signs

[dense nebula]

They shouldn’t be allowed to after this

[analog niche]

It sounds not great

[dense nebula]

Should’ve done something in Thai for his name
