dense nebula
#

The only person currently working in Talon that we have as a playable character that isn’t their of their own free will is Sigma right?

worthy rose
#

Sigma ain’t even strong lore wise

dense nebula
#

Cause Moira, Reaper, Sombra and Widowmaker and Doomfist are all there willingly

worthy rose
#

Reaper victim

rare trail
#

he just likes doing experiments and they let him do experiments

dense nebula
#

Yeah well I take it they wouldn’t exactly let him just walk right out

worthy rose
#

Ok that’s good to hear

opaque scroll
#

what about the rein skin they showed in the trailer?

peak escarp
#

it's not in the game yet

#

they'll add it later

analog niche
#

Triple A be like

wicked geode
rare trail
#

she is there of her own free will

#

"With few other options left, Amélie returned to Talon, chasing the high that had both thrilled and terrified her."

rare trail
#

the overwatch official website lol

rare trail
wicked geode
#

but ig technically "she" "willingly" returned to talon

peak escarp
#

there's nothing that says Moira's experiments involved brainwashing

#

only suppressing her emotions

golden oak
#

Wait so she randomly turned evil

wicked geode
rare trail
wicked geode
#

It's clear she's still brainwashed from being kidnapped lol so idk if that counts as free will

rare trail
#

?

#

wdym

wicked geode
#

You know how like consent works

golden oak
wicked geode
#

It doesn't really hold if ur not of sound mind or under the influence

#

Right?

rare trail
wicked geode
golden oak
#

So she was actually working with talon before kidnapping

#

?

rare trail
#

no

wicked geode
#

Mb I'm hallucinating

#

Just says intense reprogramming blah blah blah

#

I might be thinking of her trailer

golden oak
#

It makes no sense without brainwashing

wicked geode
#

But yeah if you get subjected to "intense neural reprogramming" and become a sleeper agent

#

Idk if you can say you do things out of "free will"

#

💀

golden oak
#

Why would they kidnap her if they wouldn’t brainwash her

peak escarp
#

I get the feeling people have different interpretations of what brainwashing is

#

her conditioning made her into a sleeper agent, programmed to kill her husband - that's it

golden oak
peak escarp
#

there were no instructions to come back to Talon afterward

#

so in that sense, yes she returned of her own free will

golden oak
#

Tbh soldier 76 says in game he warned Gerard about her so

peak escarp
peak escarp
#

sorry for the pings

golden oak
peak escarp
#

🤷‍♀️

golden oak
#

Also she would be a suspect and talon grants her protection right

#

I feel like talon was her best choice

peak escarp
#

it was

#

she couldn't go to Overwatch or the police

golden oak
peak escarp
#

or Jack is just paranoid

#

which he is, regardless

golden oak
#

Is it still paranoia if ur right tho

peak escarp
#

I want to see what Amelie was like before

#

give her a short story

dense nebula
#

She is brainwashed yes, but she’s also still there because it’s the only way she can feel alive

wicked geode
peak escarp
#

you can

#

because her "brainwashing" is not why she returned to Talon

past copper
#

So while we haven't experienced it yet

#

What ur thought on Talantis

dense nebula
#

How the fuck is Talantis going to work in lore?

#

Is it some sort of Vishkar version of Rapture?

peak escarp
#

it's noncanon

past copper
#

It's apparently a Talon base

#

And seems the devs made it for the fans

ivory garnet
#

Talantis is non canon

keen summit
#

Yeah ite noncanon made in a fuckin stream

karmic turret
#

we made talantis on stream

#

was a fun stream

hasty walrus
#

Talantis is noncanon but its supposed to be an underwater talon base

golden oak
#

Oh it’s talon and Atlantis combined

worthy rose
#

yo, guys, do yall remember that one short story with sym and zen?

#

uhh Stone By Stone was it?

grand wedge
worthy rose
#

well, what did yall think of it

grand wedge
#

it's the best short story of Overwatch

#

the characterization of Symmetra was on point - and the meeting with Zenyatta may be a catalyst for her making the right choices in the future of the story

pliant grove
#

Is there a good video that fully says all of the important parts of the game's lore?

idle finch
pliant grove
#

That's what i'm currently watching rn

rare trail
#

for a tldr of the lore
people made robots
evil ai rebelled against humanity and used the robots(called omnics) to start a war
overwatch was formed to fight against it
the omnic crisis ended
omnics gain sentience
talon was a terrorist group going around causing trouble so blackwatch was formed as a more shady part of overwatch specifically to be anti talon
blackwatch is revealed and the public doesnt like the things they did so they're forced to shut down by the petras act
overwatch is recalled by winston
theres these guys called null sector who are omnics who are very pro omnic equality that theyre using violence to get it

pliant grove
#

k thx

twilit patrol
#

What’s timeline between Torb adopting Bastion and OW2 PvE ?

rare trail
#

we dont really know when ow2 pve will happen in lore

twilit patrol
#

Ok

#

I hearded voiceline where Torb treats Bastion like a sh*t but i don’t know if it was in OW1

viscid flame
#

A year or two at max I think, but in either case, long enough for Bastion to get brand new parts and body overhaul by Torb

#

and for Torb to no longer be anti-omnic

summer tulip
#

What is different about biolight from hard light?

limpid agate
#

Biolight makes organic matter

#

Hard light makes inanimate objects

summer tulip
#

But it is light?

limpid agate
#

Is the same as hard light

summer tulip
#

It isnt organic

limpid agate
#

The difference is the product

summer tulip
#

Ok i get it

#

Thanks

#

Wait no

#

I still dont fully get how light can be alive

#

The concept of this is confusing me

#

I think i should just ignore this and dont question it

simple tapir
#

The more you knowCassidyHowdy

grand wedge
#

but it make it work in a sci-fi universe

bronze vortex
#

From what I can scrounge all hard-light is using light to mimic physical materials, such as solid stone, and is versatile enough to make an entire city, so it’s just using it to create biological things

#

Potentially the actual plant materials mixed into the bio light simply allows the hard-light to replicate the organic material rather than making it from scratch without any template

austere agate
#

does matt mercer also voice levi from aot?

#

sorry not exactly lore

peak escarp
#

yes

austere agate
#

I had no idea

#

suddenly I like him a lot more

chrome pawn
#

Why is doomfist black

#

I need lore behind that

rare trail
#

?

chrome pawn
#

What

rare trail
#

hes nigerian?

chrome pawn
#

African

rare trail
#

theres doesnt need to be a lore reason for someones race 💀

chrome pawn
#

Why

rare trail
#

like you wouldnt ask the lore reason for tracer being white

chrome pawn
#

I would

rare trail
#

why

chrome pawn
#

Because I creamed on her

#

That’s why she white

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

chrome pawn
#

I’m sorry

#

Didn’t know that

peak escarp
#

gross

chrome pawn
#

Is torn actually brig dad

rare trail
#

yes

#

torb and ingrid and brigs parents

chrome pawn
#

He’s a dwarf

#

Which brother is cooler

#

Genji

#

Hamza

#

Hanzo

rare trail
#

thats subjective

#

i like genji though

chrome pawn
#

Ok

peak escarp
#

I like Genji better than Hanzo

rare trail
#

the short story with hanzo should be cool

#

it would be nice to know what hes doing now

peak escarp
#

yeah

#

it's been so long since he got any lore

fresh rock
# chrome pawn Hanzo

Always liked Hanzo more. I see Genji way too much nowadays. Obviously Genji would be better to be around.

worthy rose
#

hanzo is probably just doing nothing and thinking about his brother and stuff

molten shore
#

Is there a overwatch height chart or something like that

#

Like comparing how tall everyone is

worthy rose
#

idk

worthy rose
#

is there any lore between pharah and mercy?

twilit patrol
#

I don't think

rare trail
#

theyre both in overwatch

#

there in no romantic connection between them though

#

people just ship it because of their synergy in game

twilit patrol
#

But they both can be friends

rare trail
#

especially because mercy has strong romantic connection to genji

worthy rose
#

ahhh i see

#

i was so confused about it haha

rare trail
#

there are some lgbt ships in game that are supported though

#

like bap lifeweaver

#

emily and tracer

#

soldier is gay too

#

not really anyone viable to ship him with though

woven jewel
rare trail
#

its in bastet short story

#

he had a boyfriend who was named vincent but they broke up bc soldier was too invested in work

placid basin
#

the first one

woven jewel
#

Or at least the wikis at least

grand wedge
rare trail
#

so she is a part of overwatch

grand wedge
#

now

#

not then

rare trail
#

she is now

#

i didnt say she was in overwatch before

grand wedge
#

Oh, thats what you meant

#

I thought you were making Mercy and Pharah history

dense nebula
rare trail
#

it kinda does

dense nebula
#

They never met in lore yet

grand wedge
#

because they knew each other when they were younger that's for sure

rare trail
#

more supported than other ships

grand wedge
rare trail
#

bap lifeweaver not mercy pharah

#

bap and lifeweaver havent met

dense nebula
#

Mercy Pharah is a stupid ship anyways

grand wedge
#

rah, two conversation at the same time ><

dense nebula
#

Only exists because of a synergy

rare trail
#

yeah

dense nebula
#

Not to my knowledge

#

Just a high ranking one

#

Same with Junkrat Roadhog shipping, in lore Roadhog barely tolerates Junkrat

#

Only reason he sticks around is cause the pay is good

idle finch
#

junkrat is a single celled organism and its hilarious

quiet rune
golden oak
#

What do we know about helix security

peak escarp
#

they're a paramilitary organization that filled the void when Overwatch fell

#

Pharah is the only notable member

#

Helix was responsible for the prison Doomfist was held in, and for guarding former Overwatch bases like Watchpoint: Grand Mesa

wind portal
#

do we have anything on Roadhog doing anything that might've involved Helix outside of a lone interaction between Pharah and him?

peak escarp
#

besides his global heist spree with Junkrat?

wind portal
#

Yeah, cause I don't remember if he did anything solo or not outside of being with the wreckers

peak escarp
#

nothing specific

#

he's just a wanted man

golden oak
#

Or dislike

peak escarp
#

because they're doing the job he used to do

#

and they're in the way of him getting his vengeance on Talon

golden oak
#

Oh

tepid sinew
#

like winton and the gang were shown together in the zero hour cinematic so could he not go back to them and get help

rare trail
#

yeah he doesnt want to be a part of overwatch

#

idk why

tepid sinew
#

bros just like that fr fr

wind portal
#

he doesn't want to return to overwatch because he believes what they're doing is illegal

peak escarp
#

and they're basically responsible for the fall of Overwatch

limber lichen
peak escarp
#

yes

golden oak
#

Because hes a vigilante

peak escarp
#

Soldier won't rejoin Overwatch because he believes doing that without taking down Talon first will just lead to the same outcome

wind portal
tepid sinew
#

is talon actually evil or just misunderstood

golden oak
#

They are evil

peak escarp
#

Talon are evil

tepid sinew
#

misunderstood

#

like they arent actually bad they have good intentions that seem bad yk

golden oak
#

Instigating conflicts isn’t good

peak escarp
tepid sinew
peak escarp
#

Roadhog and Junkrat are the comedic relief characters

#

Talon are the badguys

#

they're starting a war between humans and omnics

golden oak
#

I’d say overwatch would do the same with Junkrat and roadhog as with talon members if they caught them but they’re not after bank robbers so

past copper
#

Overwatch handled a war and after large criminal groups

#

Such as Talon, Null Sector, the Shimada Clan, and the Deadlock Gang

#

Small time criminals would not have even been on Overwatch's radar

#

Junkrat and Roadhog aren't big time criminals and the biggest thing they've done is blow up two buildings in Australia

austere agate
#

I wonder if pve will include any non overwatch or talon storylines

#

like the junkers

#

or the deadlock gang

past copper
#

Doubtful

#

It's focused on Overwatch fighting a war

peak escarp
#

maybe in future arcs, or events

past copper
#

At most, I can't imagine anything bigger than the other heroes getting cameos

#

Probably watching the news in some way

#

Hearing about how Null Sector started a global invasion

#

Tho might be a 10% chance of Junkrat and Hog appearing in the story

#

Bc we know they travel but don't know where they are right now

#

Same can be said of Hammond since we have no idea where he is either

austere agate
#

do sym and vishkar fit into the main storyline?

#

I may have spelled that wrong

#

probably the group I know the least about

peak escarp
#

Symmetra's boss/handler is secretly a Talon leader

#

Vishkar is just a basic corrupt company

fresh rock
#

I have come to a terrible realization.

#

With the upcoming of PvE, Archive events are gone.

#

For good.

peak escarp
#

maybe, maybe not

#

those missions could still be added in to the PvE

#

it would be a shame if we lost them for good

fresh rock
#

Wait

#

That's a good idea

#

No, a great idea

#

Clever clever.

austere agate
#

I hope so

#

I feel like they have a lot of new players

#

like me

#

so itd be cool to play

peak escarp
#

Archives was their most popular event, no way they just delete those missions forever

dense nebula
#

@peak escarp do we know of any Omnic generals that follow Ramattra?

#

Any named ones anyways?

peak escarp
#

not currently

dense nebula
#

I hope there’s special named generals for more potential Null Sector heroes

#

Because surely Ramattra won’t be the only rep for that faction

peak escarp
#

Nameless, Zera and Lanet did follow him, but Lanet was killed during the King's Row Uprising, and Nameless and Zera left Ramattra because he was unreasonable

#

we might get some lieutenants during the story mode

dense nebula
#

I hope we got one of those fat priest looking omnics as a support

vocal marsh
#

Is the name Symmetra found anywhere in the lore or is it solely made for the game

dense nebula
#

Symmetra is the name of a character in the lore

vocal marsh
#

Her name is Satya

dense nebula
#

Ever heard of a call sign

vocal marsh
#

She’s not a combatant

#

Tracer and D.Va make sense

dense nebula
#

Don’t need to be a combatant to have a title you go by

peak escarp
#

Satya Vaswani is a Vishkar special agent known as Symmetra

#

she is a combatant

#

she has fought and even killed

vocal marsh
#

Hb Lifeweaver

#

Even though we don’t know much about him

dense nebula
#

Lifeweaver is still such a stupid name imo

austere agate
#

eh

#

not that different from widowmaker

#

if u think about it

dense nebula
#

At least Widowmaker works

vocal marsh
#

Imo it’s too many words

#

Widow at least makes her sound more menacing

#

I also think JQ is stupid

austere agate
#

how does widowmaker work and not lifeweaver

vocal marsh
#

Lifeweaver sounds like a Description

#

Widow sounds like a call sign

dense nebula
#

Life maker

austere agate
#

cause you’re used to it

dense nebula
#

Widow Weaver

austere agate
#

she makes widows

dense nebula
austere agate
#

he weaves life

vocal marsh
#

I mean JQ is also stupid

#

Least creative name

dense nebula
#

Odessa is her first name

#

Dez is her nickname

vocal marsh
#

Ye Odessa Stone

#

Imagine seeing JQ and calling her Dez 💀

worthy rose
#

hi

quiet rune
# vocal marsh She’s not a combatant

It’s probably her job name or part of her and lifeweavers “culture” (or something idk) but those names represent Satyas and Lifweavers (idk his real name) style of hard light

quiet rune
quiet rune
quiet rune
keen summit
#

jq is odessa

#

ah yea

#

nvm

quiet rune
#

Yes I just corrected it, shh…

keen summit
#

anyways most heroes dont use their actual names for logical reasons

quiet rune
#

Such as, SpooderMan

keen summit
#

only the ones who well dont sound weird as a name for a character get one thats why genji hanzo and kiriko are normal names

#

they arent like what u would call ur friend

quiet rune
#

If those were their names I prob would

#

Unless we were BFFs then I would call them dumbass lol

keen summit
#

say if soj was just named vivian, then if you are playing with a friend its more likely theyd be called vivian than genji in the us

#

same with reinhardt which generally is a second name not first name in germany

quiet rune
#

Oh

keen summit
#

so you wouldnt call ur friend like fred reinhardt you would say fred

quiet rune
#

Yea dat makes sense

#

But I would call them what they would want to be called :)

keen summit
#

the names that are uncommon often use it

#

ana for example aswell, not a common name

golden oak
#

Isn’t Reinhardt’s first name Wilhelm tho

keen summit
#

thats exactly what i mean

#

Wilhelm would be a name a player could have so say you give call outs it wouldnt feel right

twilit patrol
#

That's Reinhardt his first name, no ?

keen summit
#

Yes

#

His full name is Wilhelm Reinhardt

#

Kiriko hanzo and genji arent common names either

#

Eveb in japan

golden oak
#

Having Ashe named Elizabeth in game would be weird tbh

keen summit

twilit patrol

worthy rose
twilit patrol
rare trail
# worthy rose you know how the Overwatch 2 History is, I want to analyze it before bringing yo...

as a vague summary
a woman named dr.liao created robots
evil ai called anubis turned all the robots evil and waged a war
overwatch formed to stop them
they won the war against the robots who are called omnics
omnics gain sentience because liao was experimenting
talon is a goofy lil terrorist group so blackwatch is formed within overwatch to try and stop them but like theyre also more shady than blackwatch
blackwatch is revealed the public gets mad and overwatch is stopped
null sector forms which is an omnic terrorist group willing to get their rights at any cost
overwatch is recalled by winston

worthy rose

@rare trail MochiSmile

twilit patrol
#

It’s perfect CubeOkay

worthy rose

@twilit patrol, MochiJoy

twilit patrol

@twilit patrol, ZaryaLUL

twilit patrol
worthy rose

It is interesting, although they should try to improve the Maps with the change that is beginning to take place in History. An Example, each Overwatch 2. Season, there could be that kind of change in the entire Gameplay, affecting the terrain with changes that improve its benefits when being in a GroupTracerHappy

rare trail
#

there isnt much

#

overwatch fights null sector and talon thats it for now

twilit patrol
rare trail
#

yea

#

there isnt like any lore specific stuff to ow2 though

#

null sector is pretty new ig

twilit patrol
#

Yes

worthy rose
#

Obviously, to understand History much better, would it be something positive?. I don't know, but it wouldn't be the only thing on my mindBrigitteSmile

twilit patrol
#

Hmm i guess

worthy rose
#

normally the game is in a good state, although something fundamental does not stand out. How should your story progress?, all this question is what makes it easier for you to understand what I want to propose with this possible change within the game HYPE

rare trail
#

the story is just gonna be overwatch fighting null sector as of rn

twilit patrol
#

No ?

rare trail
#

thats the main story

#

what else is there

worthy rose
#

It is known how the Enemy that we currently do not know is getting Stronger? TracerHappy

rare trail
#

wdym

#

wdym the enemy we dont know? we know who null sector is we know who/what their troops are

twilit patrol
rare trail
#

talon and null sector are tied

#

the main thing is null sector though

#

all the trailers show you fighting omnics

#

and the shorts released for the game

#

like in zero hour they fight null sector drones not talon

#

talon is probably gonna be in it but the main bad guy is null sector

worthy rose
#

i think that it is still not an Overwatch 2 due to that failure, I understand that they still need to show us things. What kind?, apart from its Story Mode?

twilit patrol
#

That’s exactly what i guess

rare trail
#

do you mean that like its not really a sequel bc pve isnt out?

worthy rose
#

At least.. I want to see the Enemy and what the Heroes are going to face, starting with putting track classes on the Maps and Updating themHYPE

rare trail
#

track classes???

#

what are track classes

#

what would you be updating the heroes the maps or the track classes?

rare trail
worthy rose
#

see how I would see it, if I were part of the Overwatch Team. The Energy of the null sector could alter the Maps in terms of their playability

rare trail
#

wdym the energy

#

do you want changed maps based off like null sector battles?

#

i think so far thats only happened with kings row when the uprising event happened but it'll probably happen with paraiso when pve releases

worthy rose
#

How?, you may ask. Blackwatch would have to see and... I say that Overwatch will be threatened by a powerful class because of obtaining that Energy

rare trail
#

wdym blackwatch would have to see

#

blackwatch doesnt exist

#

not anymore

summer tulip
worthy rose
#

I don't think it's gone, soon you will know why

rare trail
#

yes it is

twilit patrol
worthy rose
#

Volskaya Industries, which they will have in their hidden files.

rare trail
#

?

#

what

#

blackwatch is gone

rare trail
worthy rose
#

test?.. that Experiment by capturing an Overwatch Agent, capable of controlling that power

twilit patrol
#

I don’t understand nothing BOBSweat

rare trail
#

volskaya and blackwatch did nothing like that

worthy rose
#

We would not say that they are Agents of the Blackwatch, normal with all this. But something escapes me, at a certain point in the cities I have not yet seen this concentration of Energy. This is due to the fact that the Null sector is in another place, so they could expand it with certain New Maps

twilit patrol
worthy rose
#

Not only Volskaya Industries, should be investigated in other areas where anomalies occur

rare trail
worthy rose
#

this could be the beginning of Overwatch 2 in its Story?

rare trail
#

????????

twilit patrol
rare trail
#

volskaya has nothing to do with the story of overwatch 2

twilit patrol

It doesn’t make sense

i knew that you would be confused with all this, but you should know that the null sector is a probable Experiment summary all thisHYPE

??????????

Wow cube_thinking

worthy rose
#

Do you have any doubts?

rare trail
#

yes

#

a lot

twilit patrol
#

No no don’t worry

worthy rose
#

Can, I continue to expand this?

twilit patrol
#

No that’s right

worthy rose
#

Its Story Mode could explain to you what this kind consists of Experiment

rare trail
#

????????????

#

what experiement

worthy rose
#

the objetive of Null Sector, will create new Agents capable of wresting the power of the Heroes

rare trail
#

???????

worthy rose
#

Now yes... Overwatch will have to fight to avoid it at all costs, which is why the chosen Agents or Heroes will be affected by that Energy Wave when trying to end the Experiment, we could even see the EnemyHYPE

peak escarp
#

what are you going on about

#

that's not the story

twilit patrol
worthy rose
#

Overwatch 2 doesn't have a Story yet so generally you should think of something similar to what, I'm trying to help you withHYPE

it's normal that you're confused because everything, i'm telling you still doesn't exist, nor is it related yet.

Kings Row Uprising

peak escarp

Null Sector was created by Ramattra about 9 years ago

worthy rose

Don't worry, get more Agents to make their story even bigger and then think about this. Dear OverwatchHYPE

twilit patrol

9 years ?

@twilit patrol , @peak escarp TracerHappy

which was 7 years ago

twilit patrol

Rip Bastion in the Cinematic History?

twilit patrol

Bastion is still alive

@twilit patrol TracerHappy

twilit patrol
worthy rose

I think Bastion could appear in the possible new Cinematic that, I mentioned, honoring its Creator

ivory garnet
#

there wont be any new Cinematic Shorts until we get the Sojourn one, which will release when PvE does

#

not confirmed, just a hunch

fresh rock
#

I think a Sojourn cinematic will be... boring.

twilit patrol
#

Why Sojourn cinematic would be boring ?

rain shoal
#

maybe because she doesnt have enough lore for now?

peak escarp
#

she has a novel

hardy finch
#

whats echo’s lore

merry mason
#

made by dr mina liao, an inventor also partly responsible for creation omnics. echo was made to learn from her surroundings (hence the name) and adapt to any situation.

#

liao was killed but echo carries on her legacy. She was stuck in some containment pod until she was broken out

golden oak
#

Btw who imprisoned echo

peak escarp
#

she was put into storage when Overwatch fell

#

because she was an experimental robot

merry mason
#

yeah since robots having rights is kinda controversial in overwatch world

rain sedge
#

is ana stronger than widow

Hey random question. Do you reckon there will be a fight between Sigma and Reinhardt? I got this idea since the only other Talon tank (Doomfist) fought the other original tank (Winston) we might get a fight between the second original tank (Reinhardt) and the other Talon tank, Sigma.

peak escarp
#

probably not

#

Sigma is kept in a lab and allowed to do science, he's not even fully aware that Talon is keeping him there

#

so he's not really a badguy

golden oak
#

Talon doesn’t plan on using his powers as a weapon?

peak escarp
#

they're more interested in using his research as a weapon at the moment

#

lore Sigma doesn't have the control/power that game Sigma has

#

Ram doesn’t actually have a gender, does he?

golden oak
#

Oh

And zen calls him brother

golden oak
idle finch

yes

#

exactly that

#

he was exposed to a blackhole for too long now hes mentally deranged

dense nebula
#

How long until we get the leader of the Hashimoto clan as a playable hero?

So clearly something of note is going to come from them

#

Since any group introduced in shorts and lore had a member join (Sombra rolled with Los Muertos with a time to my knowledge considering she has a skin for it)

peak escarp
#

he was built in an omnium in Antarctica

#

we don't know who their leader is

#

no idea

#

it's not up to me

#

what do you mean?

#

this channel is quiet because it's a serious discussion channel, not a place of socialization

tall sleet

💀

dense nebula
#

And we don’t have PvE mode yet nor any new comics, short stories or cinematics

#

So it’s a bit slow atm

peak escarp
#

Starwatch and the associated comic is the next thing coming

tall sleet
#

ugh i cant wait for pve i need those interactions and storylines

dense nebula
#

I still hope we get some development of the Hashimoto

peak escarp
#

it's an AU, but it's still a kind of lore

dense nebula
#

Hashimoto could be a cool way to introduce Talon into the East

peak escarp
#

Sojiro Shimada refused to work with Talon - it would make sense that he was assassinated to make way for the Hashimoto, who would work with Talon

dense nebula
#

I mainly want the Hashimoto leader to be as devoted to the Talon cause as Doomfist

#

To justify the alliance

wind portal
#

I don't think the Hashimoto leader would want to associate with Doomfist

#

they have their own cause

whats the tldr on the new hero

# tall sleet whats the tldr on the new hero

Symm's roomie from Vishkar, didn't like the way Vishkar did things so he left, made his own tech using Vishkar's hardlight, and is now hiding from them in the Atlantic Arcology

tall sleet
#

is he a support?

peak escarp
#

yes

dense nebula
#

Tho he focuses less on healing and more in tactical positioning

tall sleet
#

interesting

peak escarp

he's the support Symm people have been wanting

tall sleet

oooh yay

wind portal
#

If Mauga becomes a thing I'd want him to have synergy with Baptiste tbh

tall sleet
#

agree

#

i wonder if theres still plans for him to become a hero

peak escarp
#

it's been a while since we've heard anything about him

wind portal
#

since they'll be no more MEKA characters for a while

dense nebula
#

I hope to God he’s given the due he deserves

wind portal
#

There were plans to make him a tank in OW1 I believe but he was scrapped

dense nebula
#

It wasn’t scrapped

peak escarp

yes

It became Sigma

Mauga was scrapped so Sigma could be made

@golden oak, TracerHappy What you say is Interesting

worthy rose
#

thanks to the Cinematics the OverwatchMochiLove we had, at least they have made it easier for me to create something to create a Story and.. I may have to continue Investigating about Hanzo and Genji HYPE

#

Suppose, Kiriko could appreciate Genji and Hanzo affection. I think Kiriko's power could be much greater, I'm not entirely clear about it, but.. I know where his (preview) History Advance could go with this Data TracerHappy

#

The clear thing about everything is to focus on that change affecting all 3, from there the Essence of Overwatch 2 would be born can you take all this for help?. I dont know Can you take all this as a help? However, the new Heroes seem to be beginning to have a relationship with this possible change.

#

New Era for Overwatch 2, is that the Blizzard producers in general and we must overcome the change to reach the Set Limit of all Overwatch Stories, that is why.. I have brought this part Small advance (Unofficial)

#

Now, If they should accept the change or follow the same path with Overwatch still, they decide and we how it should affect us. This is not only in Overwatch 2 it could also be seen in other games but with a different similar Essence

this person blabbers about random stuff

keen summit

shimadas are super traditional while kiriko and genji well combine future and tradition, so making the enemy of them be a person over focussed on future would fit the themes

theres also nothing to investigate for Genji and Hanzo

Hanzo doesnt have the material

and Genji is rather vague even though he has material

Her interaction with the deaf kid and the janitor quite shows she's got a good heart. Low-key still bugs me because according to lore she's in her 20s, and yet acts like a quirky teenager. Not saying I hate her though, she's new after all.

Breh, I didn’t know mercy and sigma knew each other, ain’t that something

It seems their whole gimmick is cyberpunk with the more modern Yakuza style outfits with the Hannya masks

"One unique Bastion unit, severely damaged in the final battles of the war," i kinda think he fought

he might not have killed anyone though

it doesn't say he was damaged in combat

just damaged during the battle

#

which fits with being damaged on deployment

rare trail
#

yeah ig so

#

and if he did fight it doesnt really make sense for him to have barely moved from where his drop pod was

it's possible that that wasn't Bastion's first deployment

but with no evidence otherwise, it's more likely that it was

Okay question, that's in my some hottake category, but is anyone considering the (imo awfully written fanfic) code of violence story as canon or not?
Personally I painfully ignore it especially after I was waiting for this for years but hearing it was written by Chu (he left shortly before hand) I was already fearing the worst.

It is canon because it’s official.

And it wasn’t written by Michael Chu

do we even know what happened in the fight between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes

peak escarp

ember hazel

it looks like they're trying to be vague with it

they might be saving it for a future lore release

ember hazel
#

what medium do they use for those

peak escarp
#

comics, animated shorts, short stories, novels

#

all sorts

ember hazel
#

let's hope

#

I assumed it was some sort of explosion

#

because idk how else Reyes would get messed up like he did

peak escarp
#

what we do know is that there was a fight and an explosion

#

Soldier believes that the explosion was caused by Talon

#

the public believes that the explosion was caused by their fight

ember hazel
#

interesting

peak escarp
#

but the explosion left Reyes on deaths door - Moira had to superdose him with her wraith serum to save his life

#

we don't know what happened to Soldier, but he does have some pretty big scars across his face

ember hazel
#

Reaper has the potential to be a very good character, but Blizzard started him as nameless fodder in the early cinematics

#

glad they're giving him some depth

peak escarp
#

both of them have superhuman healing factors, so an explosion that would have killed an ordinary person might not have killed them

ember hazel
#

now reaper is extra dusty

#

it's really hard to gauge what his in universe power level is

peak escarp
#

yeah

ember hazel

like who he's equivalent to

he loses to Winston, but that's because Winston has Main Character Powers™️

when he fights anyone else, he seems pretty powerful
