Sigma ain’t even strong lore wise
Cause Moira, Reaper, Sombra and Widowmaker and Doomfist are all there willingly
Reaper victim
i mean he isnt forced to be there
he just likes doing experiments and they let him do experiments
Yeah well I take it they wouldn’t exactly let him just walk right out
Ok that’s good to hear
what about the rein skin they showed in the trailer?
Triple A be like
widow is brainwashed, everybody else but her and sig are there of their own accord
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."
where tf is this from lol
the overwatch official website lol
same source puts her as brainwashed both before (neural reconditioning) and after (moira experiments) she joined lol, feel like it's a little dubious to say that's of "her own free will"
but ig technically "she" "willingly" returned to talon
there's nothing that says Moira's experiments involved brainwashing
only suppressing her emotions
Wait so she randomly turned evil
Ye what I meant
not randomly she just got a taste for killing and liked it
It's clear she's still brainwashed from being kidnapped lol so idk if that counts as free will
You know how like consent works
Then what was kidnapping for?
to become a sleeper agent who would kill her husband
Yeah they changed her entire personality and allat, according to the website
no
what exactly do they say?
Mb I'm hallucinating
Just says intense reprogramming blah blah blah
I might be thinking of her trailer
It makes no sense without brainwashing
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"
💀
Why would they kidnap her if they wouldn’t brainwash her
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
That’s literally brainwashing
there were no instructions to come back to Talon afterward
so in that sense, yes she returned of her own free will
Tbh soldier 76 says in game he warned Gerard about her so
yes but it didnt make her loyal to Talon
like any friend would warn them about a new girlfriend - that was long before any of this happened
sorry for the pings
Wouldn’t talon kill her if she didn’t join them cuz like she knew talon ordered the assassination and stuff
🤷♀️
Also she would be a suspect and talon grants her protection right
I feel like talon was her best choice
Yeah that’s my point, he knew there was something off about her even before she was turned into talon agent
Is it still paranoia if ur right tho
Nope, Widow’s there on her own will too
She is brainwashed yes, but she’s also still there because it’s the only way she can feel alive
Again idk if you can say she's there of her own free will and she's brainwashed at the same time 💀
How the fuck is Talantis going to work in lore?
Is it some sort of Vishkar version of Rapture?
it's noncanon
Talantis is non canon
Yeah ite noncanon made in a fuckin stream
Talantis is noncanon but its supposed to be an underwater talon base
Oh it’s talon and Atlantis combined
yo, guys, do yall remember that one short story with sym and zen?
uhh Stone By Stone was it?
yes
well, what did yall think of it
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
Is there a good video that fully says all of the important parts of the game's lore?
Idk how good it is compared to others but I watched this https://youtu.be/-aPY1OaEPjs
That's what i'm currently watching rn
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
k thx
What’s timeline between Torb adopting Bastion and OW2 PvE ?
we dont really know when ow2 pve will happen in lore
Ok
I hearded voiceline where Torb treats Bastion like a sh*t but i don’t know if it was in OW1
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
What is different about biolight from hard light?
But it is light?
Is the same as hard light
It isnt organic
The difference is the product
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
The more you know
that's science-fiction
no need to look at the how - because it would not make sense in real life
but it make it work in a sci-fi universe
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
yes
?
What
hes nigerian?
African
theres doesnt need to be a lore reason for someones race 💀
Why
like you wouldnt ask the lore reason for tracer being white
I would
why
!!loreonly
This channel is for serious discussion strictly related to the lore of Overwatch. Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
gross
Is torn actually brig dad
I like Genji better than Hanzo
the short story with hanzo should be cool
it would be nice to know what hes doing now
Always liked Hanzo more. I see Genji way too much nowadays. Obviously Genji would be better to be around.
hanzo is probably just doing nothing and thinking about his brother and stuff
Is there a overwatch height chart or something like that
Like comparing how tall everyone is
idk
is there any lore between pharah and mercy?
I don't think
theyre both in overwatch
there in no romantic connection between them though
people just ship it because of their synergy in game
Yes it's stupid
But they both can be friends
especially because mercy has strong romantic connection to genji
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
This I haven't heard
its in bastet short story
he had a boyfriend who was named vincent but they broke up bc soldier was too invested in work
the first one
ah, I should actually read some of these stories to get more info
Or at least the wikis at least
Pharah was never Overwatch - her mother was against it. She joined New Overwatch when Cassidy recruited her.
so she is a part of overwatch
In game dialogue doesn’t count
it kinda does
They never met in lore yet
because they knew each other when they were younger that's for sure
more supported than other ships
They have
Mercy Pharah is a stupid ship anyways
rah, two conversation at the same time ><
Only exists because of a synergy
yeah
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
voice lines hardly count but the lw/junkrat convo about roadhog and junkrat being a coupole is funny af
junkrat is a single celled organism and its hilarious
What do we know about helix security
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
do we have anything on Roadhog doing anything that might've involved Helix outside of a lone interaction between Pharah and him?
besides his global heist spree with Junkrat?
Yeah, cause I don't remember if he did anything solo or not outside of being with the wreckers
Why does soldier 76 hate them
Or dislike
because they're doing the job he used to do
and they're in the way of him getting his vengeance on Talon
Oh
why is soldier so mad at talon that hes tryna run ups 1s against the whole damn thing
like winton and the gang were shown together in the zero hour cinematic so could he not go back to them and get help
bros just like that fr fr
he doesn't want to return to overwatch because he believes what they're doing is illegal
they blew up Overwatch HQ and almost killed him
and they're basically responsible for the fall of Overwatch
but like aint he a wanted criminal aswell? 💀
yes
Because hes a vigilante
Soldier won't rejoin Overwatch because he believes doing that without taking down Talon first will just lead to the same outcome
criminals can think things are illegal as well
is talon actually evil or just misunderstood
They are evil
Talon are evil
misunderstood
like they arent actually bad they have good intentions that seem bad yk
Instigating conflicts isn’t good
they're literal terrorists
but like so is hog and junkrat but they are just silly little guys
Roadhog and Junkrat are the comedic relief characters
Talon are the badguys
they're starting a war between humans and omnics
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
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
I wonder if pve will include any non overwatch or talon storylines
like the junkers
or the deadlock gang
maybe in future arcs, or events
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
do sym and vishkar fit into the main storyline?
I may have spelled that wrong
probably the group I know the least about
Symmetra's boss/handler is secretly a Talon leader
Vishkar is just a basic corrupt company
I have come to a terrible realization.
With the upcoming of PvE, Archive events are gone.
For good.
maybe, maybe not
those missions could still be added in to the PvE
it would be a shame if we lost them for good
I hope so
I feel like they have a lot of new players
like me
so itd be cool to play
Archives was their most popular event, no way they just delete those missions forever
@peak escarp do we know of any Omnic generals that follow Ramattra?
Any named ones anyways?
not currently
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
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
I hope we got one of those fat priest looking omnics as a support
Is the name Symmetra found anywhere in the lore or is it solely made for the game
Symmetra is the name of a character in the lore
Her name is Satya
Satya Vaswani is a Vishkar special agent known as Symmetra
she is a combatant
she has fought and even killed
Lifeweaver is still such a stupid name imo
At least Widowmaker works
Imo it’s too many words
Widow at least makes her sound more menacing
I also think JQ is stupid
how does widowmaker work and not lifeweaver
Life maker
cause you’re used to it
Widow Weaver
she makes widows

he weaves life
Imagine looking at Leatherface and calling him Bubba

Hello everyone
hey
hey
hey
Greetings 
hi
Ramattra lonely 🥺
kace likely
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
WDYM His hard light is alive, therefore, when he uses his hard light, he is weaving life bance the name
It is a description, she is the Queen of the Junkers, would you rather be called Odessa ?
vivian is soj
Shh… you saw nothing…
Yes I just corrected it, shh…
anyways most heroes dont use their actual names for logical reasons
Such as, SpooderMan
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
If those were their names I prob would
Unless we were BFFs then I would call them dumbass lol
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
Oh
so you wouldnt call ur friend like fred reinhardt you would say fred
Isn’t Reinhardt’s first name Wilhelm tho
yes
thats exactly what i mean
Wilhelm would be a name a player could have so say you give call outs it wouldnt feel right
That's Reinhardt his first name, no ?
Yes
His full name is Wilhelm Reinhardt
Kiriko hanzo and genji arent common names either
Eveb in japan
Having Ashe named Elizabeth in game would be weird tbh
Very weird yes
hi
Greetings 
you know how the Overwatch 2 History is, I want to analyze it before bringing you something
Hmm no i don't know


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
@rare trail 
It’s perfect 
@twilit patrol, 
But that’s Overwatch story, not Overwatch 2 story 
@twilit patrol, 
I’m kinda right. Overwatch Recall by Winston was in OW1. And i believe Overwatch 2 is a year after.
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 Group
overwatch 2 story is just winston recalling
there isnt much
overwatch fights null sector and talon thats it for now
It was in OW1 no ?
yea
there isnt like any lore specific stuff to ow2 though
null sector is pretty new ig
Yes
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 mind
Hmm i guess
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 
the story is just gonna be overwatch fighting null sector as of rn
No ?
It is known how the Enemy that we currently do not know is getting Stronger? 
wdym
wdym the enemy we dont know? we know who null sector is we know who/what their troops are
I guess we’ll fight Talon
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
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?
That’s exactly what i guess
wdym not an overwatch 2? what is an overwatch 2? wdym they need to show us things?
do you mean that like its not really a sequel bc pve isnt out?
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 them
track classes???
what are track classes
what would you be updating the heroes the maps or the track classes?
the enemy is just ramattra his army and talon we know what the heroes are going to face
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

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
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

You really like this emoji
I don't think it's gone, soon you will know why
yes it is
?????

Volskaya Industries, which they will have in their hidden files.
volskaya doesnt have anything to do with blackwatch
test?.. that Experiment by capturing an Overwatch Agent, capable of controlling that power
I don’t understand nothing 
??????
volskaya and blackwatch did nothing like that
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


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

who are agents of blackwatch? wdym this concentration of energy?
this could be the beginning of Overwatch 2 in its Story?
????????

volskaya has nothing to do with the story of overwatch 2
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 this
??????????

Wow 
Do you have any doubts?
No no don’t worry
No that’s right
Its Story Mode could explain to you what this kind consists of Experiment
the objetive of Null Sector, will create new Agents capable of wresting the power of the Heroes
???????

Are you serious ??
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 Enemy

Overwatch 2 doesn't have a Story yet so generally you should think of something similar to what, I'm trying to help you with
it's normal that you're confused because everything, i'm telling you still doesn't exist, nor is it related yet.

!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
it does have a story
Null Sector took place when Overwatch was still active
Kings Row Uprising
Null Sector was created by Ramattra about 9 years ago
Don't worry, get more Agents to make their story even bigger and then think about this. Dear Overwatch
9 years ?
@twilit patrol , @peak escarp 
2 years before the King's Row Uprising
which was 7 years ago
Ok
don't ping people
Bastion is still alive
@twilit patrol 

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

there wont be any new Cinematic Shorts until we get the Sojourn one, which will release when PvE does
not confirmed, just a hunch
I hate that it might be true.
I think a Sojourn cinematic will be... boring.
Why Sojourn cinematic would be boring ?
maybe because she doesnt have enough lore for now?
she has a novel
whats echo’s lore
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
Btw who imprisoned echo
yeah since robots having rights is kinda controversial in overwatch world
is ana stronger than widow
i think so
ana is the better shot yeah
ty
Widow is a better shot
🇫🇷
Ana was the better shot... when she had both eyes
Widow beats Ana now
Perhaps i would say
Ana's still the better shot even with one eye
I don't know but i think you meant she don't need two eyes to be a better shot
Would’ve baldreich lived if rein didn’t get cocky
probably
reading two messages of that person gave me a headache
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.
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
Talon doesn’t plan on using his powers as a weapon?
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?
Oh
People call him he
And zen calls him brother
So he just went crazy?
yes
exactly that
he was exposed to a blackhole for too long now hes mentally deranged
How long until we get the leader of the Hashimoto clan as a playable hero?
who
oh dr phil yeah he comes out next year
And who that is
Also we already have 3 Japanese characters, doubt there will be any more
diversity in ow comes in stacks of 3 ig
most obscure fun facts?
Junkrat likes his bubble tea half sweet
Same tbh
I don't like boba
What is rammatra’s ethnicity
Unnamed and unknown as of now, but Kiriko introduced the Hashimoto clan
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)
he's an omnic
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
💀
And we don’t have PvE mode yet nor any new comics, short stories or cinematics
So it’s a bit slow atm
Starwatch and the associated comic is the next thing coming
ugh i cant wait for pve i need those interactions and storylines
I still hope we get some development of the Hashimoto
it's an AU, but it's still a kind of lore
Hashimoto could be a cool way to introduce Talon into the East
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
I mainly want the Hashimoto leader to be as devoted to the Talon cause as Doomfist
To justify the alliance
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
friend of symmettra, former Vishkar employee
Well the Hashimoto filled the vacuum of the Shimada clan
good or bad
So it makes sense they’d eventually join Talon
Neutral I believe
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
is he a support?
yes
Tho he focuses less on healing and more in tactical positioning
interesting
he's the support Symm people have been wanting
oooh yay
If Mauga becomes a thing I'd want him to have synergy with Baptiste tbh
it's been a while since we've heard anything about him
He's one of the only suitable candidates to become a tank after we get the next support
since they'll be no more MEKA characters for a while
Tho he’s still romping about in lore, waiting
I hope to God he’s given the due he deserves
There were plans to make him a tank in OW1 I believe but he was scrapped
It wasn’t scrapped
yes
It became Sigma
Mauga was scrapped so Sigma could be made
Weird question
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
ahh
!!lfg
If you are looking for people to play with, assign yourself an LFG role in #roles-old!
whats junkrats tire in lore and can he mine jump
If it isn't Mauga, and Blizzard pulls a fast one, I SWEAR.
Mauga gives us MORE Bap lore
And more Talon members
is ranked broken i am bronze 5 i won 5 games lost 1 as dps didnt got negative once for example 1game i played with echo i went 36-13 16k dmg
i cannot rank up
His tire in lore is just a thing he wears it hasn’t been shown to actually do anything yet though and he can’t mine jump without blowing himself up
#overwatch or #overwatch-serious are the places to talk about this kind of thing
I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes Kiriko's interactions. People say they're cringe, but I don't see how.
That's fair, I suppose.
Hashimotos have like a tiger on their logo right? What if their leader can control a spirit too
What you meant 
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
Yes.
A spirit that would act as a mercy damage boost but to a whole team, like kiriko’s ult, as well as providing a 50hp health buff or more
Would be pretty interesting
So ow1 orisa ult
A tiger spirit sounds dope
Considering blizzard’s dev team a couple years ago
It’s no surprise that it got cancelled
i just hate when u teleport and she says hey
it’s like debbie ryan
fail
but u know what i mean
@golden oak,
What you say is Interesting
?
thanks to the Cinematics the Overwatch
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 
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 
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

eh thematically its more likely for them to have no spirit
this person blabbers about random stuff
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
ive actually worked on a concept of hashimoto leader
working on script for fan made origin story n all
but we dont know if they even got spirits
Simple. She comes off as rude, I suppose. Most of her interactions make her feel cocky and rub others the wrong way.
yeah the problem is nobody seems to mind it either
as the cast
She’s a street kid
so she comes off as rude while the rest just goes "aight"
Street kids are normally cocky and a bit rude at somepoints, but she has a good personality
i beg to differ on good personality part
i mean that she is nice
Tsssss she rubs me the wrong way
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
Let me SEE
I don’t think the Hashimoto should have spirits
It seems their whole gimmick is cyberpunk with the more modern Yakuza style outfits with the Hannya masks
So their leader would most likely have some form of cybernetics that lean into the cyber Oni look
Did bastion fight during omnic crisis?
Someone said that he was off and just was there doing nothing the entire time
His pod landed far away and didn’t deploy
He is just watching the memories of another E-54 on the flashback scene
Bastion is an enemy combatant with a triple digit body count against military and civilian targets alike
Rammattra isn't annoying, most of the characters aren't
I've known a lot of 20-somethings who still acted like teenagers
I was one of them
I see, point taken
Bastion hasn't killed anyone
its drop pod malfunctioned when it deployed and it never saw combat during the crisis
you can see the drop pod still around it in The Last Bastion
I know you highlighted it to show the pod but
The third one looks a bit Sus if you ask me
Eldritch Pattern Recognition is going to be the death of me
But yeah Bastion’s pod was knocked off course for some reason
I actually thought that either im going insane or my discord somehow scrolled up to a conversation that was like a year ago because i already read that before
i thought his bio implied he fought
"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
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
Yeah, you don’t magically turn mature once you hit 20
Hello everyone
hi
Greetings 
Do we know yet if the archives are coming back this year? :’)
They haven’t said they’re not coming back, right?
I reckon the Starwatch event that'll happen during this season is the closest we're gonna get to archives
how come both new supports have the "im gonna not listen to family and forge my own path" character arc
what happened to heros getting driven insane in a black hole
family drama is more realistic
when reaper married widowmaker and adopted sombra was so emotional
and when he cheated on widow to have gay intercourse with soldier
very big shock
that was so expected tbh
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
bro its headcanon chilllllll
headcanon isn't canon to the lore.
it's what people want to think is real for their characters
and plus, I can barely classify what that was as headcanon.
also Reaper is confirmed Straight
he had a wife
soldier killed her obv
no
real cannon ik the devs
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
listen mate when u come back w proof i dont know the devs then u can come talk
That is just backwards logic
prove that you do
I don't think I need to prove that you don't know the devs, you need to PROVE that you know the devs
guess you don't know them then
guess you dont know the real lore
since you can't prove it
I don't think they're going to get mad over a lore reveal when almost no one is interested in OW lore 
Reaper's wife is still alive confirmed by Reaper himself
hes schizo
Nothing in lore proves he's a schizo, unless you wanna show something from the story that proves he is
if you can't I have no reason to believe you.
Ok so I've watched his short, but is lifeweaver like part robot? Because I noticed he has like these robotic implants in his feet and legs
nah he just has prosthetics I believe
ok, I was just really confused there
Vishkar gives its agents a prosthetic arm so they can manupulate hardlight
idk what is up with his feet though
yeah mb i just saw the reaper+widow and sombra thing and thought it was funny
How did Reaper and Moira go from Blackwatch, which goes against Talon, to working for Talon?
Moira needed money and subjects for her research
Reaper needed Moira to keep him alive
So Reaper followed Moira? Mm, I see, thank you little man.
little... man?

I assume just like sojourn logic of robot parts good ig?
Maybe implants?
cybernetic implants do seem to be common in this universe

I was watching ow cinematic a couple days ago. And I wonder if it's possible that the kid we saw in Mexico during the soldier cinematic could be Sombra
I think they look a like and the story match
She’s not Sombra
Ok thx
The little girl we saw helped Zarya a bit to find Sombra
Is there really not even a glimpse of roadhog’s face
Where
Hey
You are penguin
isn't that meant to be like a sketch based on what people said hog looked like
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.
He left before Jeff
Gabriel got driven completely off the deep-end and into a permanent omnicidal rage after being in a party with Sombra for only a few hours
Truly this is the most crossover between lore and game play there is

Code of Violence is my third favourite short story
it added a lot of depth to Reyes' character
do we even know what happened in the fight between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes
not yet
it looks like they're trying to be vague with it
they might be saving it for a future lore release
what medium do they use for those
let's hope
I assumed it was some sort of explosion
because idk how else Reyes would get messed up like he did
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
interesting
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
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
both of them have superhuman healing factors, so an explosion that would have killed an ordinary person might not have killed them
now reaper is extra dusty
it's really hard to gauge what his in universe power level is
yeah
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
probably was expecting an execution and not a fight
Reaper is overconfident and likes to monologue
probably\
Er... no offense of course.
I am little, but not a man
No, you see, little man isn't used to identify your gender! I use little man a lot.
In all fairness, Winston was struggling even when he is supposed to win
gotta make it dramatic
Do you guys have any predictions for any Overwatch PvE teams? We've seen two.
teams?
do you mean what characters go on what missions with each other
Exactly that, sorry for wording it incorrectly.
I hope we get to play as the bad guys aswell in pve
I think it won't be the case
unless blizzard becomes ultra based and does some crazy thing like showing both pov of some fight I highly doubt we play as anyone but the main heros
that'd be cool tho
that'd be cool
Hmm
or maybe you could do mini misions playing as like talon or something to advance the main story
I'm not sure
I just hope its not crazy linear like some other pve campaign games
I think it would be cool that you can choose what you say and do in the cutscenes
I don't think we'll get that
I have doubts too
it'd be cool to get something like that but I doubt it
don't think it will have a set ending
the most we'll get is different dialogue for different hero choices
I wonder if every hero will take part in pve
it's pretty much guaranteed to be a linear campaign
Linear and complete
we all know how much time lucio will get
ye
he will be dead or prosumed dead in that demo type vid we saw
he probably isn’t dead tho
I think they'll try to include all the heroes eventually, but not in the initial story arc
that cutscene was a placeholder made for Blizzcon
Lucio won't die
I hope not
I doubt any hero dies
they won't kill off any heroes
Would be awkward to play as dead heroes in pvp
maybe characters that aren’t in game like max
max dying would be hilarious
Not even Reinhardt for example ?
Not really coherent i think
Rip Maximilien
I hope we will get him in game one day
i doubt it
loved his cutscenes in the havana pve mission we got a few yrs ago
Max is strictly a non-combatant
I still believe that Rein will die
No
was it storm rising?
would be cool to see more nonhuman characters
I expect Maximilien will have regrets starting a war, and will go to Overwatch for help/protection
Really want an interaction between him and ramattra
same
Akande will try to kill him no ?
maybe he will try to kill zen and ram refuses
Max is too valuable for him to kill him
would be cool to see
I hope max doesn't die purely so I can peep his hair in high quality ow2 cutscenes
we've seen what happens to people who try to leave Talon
Bap knew talon enough to escape it
Bap is still being hunted he hasn't fully gotten away with it
they're still going after him
that’s why I said kinda
sombra seems to know where he is but didn't tell talon though
sombra will backstap talon maybe
sombra knows where everyone and their grandparents are
true
and knows everyone’s search history
I don't think Sombra would leave Talon tbh, they're giving her a good deal
Hmm
Soldier and Ana won't rejoin overwatch
NO.
soldier is NOT rejoining
They decline the recall
ana wont either
I can see Ana joining maybe
I thought ana left cass to find the next ow members saying her time had passed
Soldier dislikes current overwatch and Ana is 'retired'
No she's decline too
true
they got new members like bap and mei
yeah the comics showed cass going from place to place recruiting zarya pharah bap and dva
Pharah is kind of the replacement for Ana anyway
No he don't need
can see overwatch recruiting bastion
Yes
rein will always be their shield
Bastion will probably join Overwatch
Hanzo has done literally nothing since genji's confrontation wonder what happens with him in lore
no matter what
bastion has crazy ptsd I doubt he joins a group built to fight people
I mean
maybe torb will convince him joining it
it will be weird for him to fight omnics
since he is one
Bastion's AI got overhauled by Torb
wife leaver lore
Lifeweaver*
wife leaver
he just came out we don’t know that much
...
Torbjorn hasn't done anyting to Bastion's AI
he's not a programmer
hard work pays off
average teenager when they get to summer camp
we've already seen that Bastion will join Overwatch
in the storyboards shown in 2021
Didn't Bastion already join OW?
why is zarya there lol
I forget this scene
because Zarya also joined Overwatch
Cass recruited her I believe
hmmm dint know that thx
Yes cass recruited her
Cass doing gods work fr
Winston, Mei, Brigitte, D.Va, Pharah, Tracer, Zarya, Lucio, Genji, Baptiste, Mercy, Echo, Reinhardt and Cassidy
cass out here recruiting everyone
these seem to be the main heroes of Overwatch
plus Sojourn and Bastion
Cassidy is so badass
Did sojourn accept the recall?
ye
She's rejoining yes
no but we see her join them
I think it's the case yes
ah ok
Oh ok
