Hanzo is doing... stuff

hanzo is just kinda on his own thinking about his brother and stuff

As Null Sector drop pods rain down on Tokyo, Hanzo hears the ghost of his father—and meets with a familiar face—in an electrifying tale by E.C. Myers.

hanzo more lore needed lol

hanzo didn't have shit other than dragons

Hanzo was thrown to the wayside because Genji was more important appearantly lmao

would be cool to see him joining overwatch but he hates Winston so never gonna happen

idle finch
if Winston can forgive him and be friends again I can see it
why would winston forgive hammond lmao winston was the bad friend
worthy rose
ye so he can forgive of what he did when he was the bad friend
voice lines aren’t canon right
idle finch
some arent some are
worthy rose
I was wondering if Hammond also hated genji coz he called him a loser in a voice line
idle finch
some refernece cannon stuff
worthy rose
he said can you deflect that loser when he rolls him to death
idle finch
hes just a hamster with a additude

if Winston can forgive him and be friends again I can see it
why would Winston be the one forgiving Hammond? It’d be the opposite

Winston ditched the HLC without even letting Hammond know, also he stole Hammond’s blueprints for the escape pod

she had an autoimmune disease as a child, and got her first cybernetics at age 13

she also has a twin sister named Valentine

ivory garnet

peak escarp
you can see a couple on the map
ivory garnet

due to the posters around the map
sooo, is she more cybernetic than genji?
since he atleast has his upper body
minus the arms

They’re quite literally trying to kill one another over a rivalry that started as a grudge match

Based on dialogue in the McCree cinematic Ashe had Bob rip his arm off

Yes in game, and in game dialogue is theoreticals and not official
in-game interactions are hypothetical - if these two heroes interacted, here's what they might say

Really ?

twilit patrol
I don't know
wise tulip
humanity has set its sights on going to mars for quite a while, and overwatch is far in the future
twilit patrol
Not wrong
wise tulip
and look at all the advanced stuff they’ve done in the horizon lunar colony
in the real world, space agencies are aiming to land a human on mars in the 2030s
ow2 takes place in about the year 2077
twilit patrol
ow2 takes place in about the year 2077
Not confirmed, we don't know exactly.
twilit patrol
Yes
wise tulip
it’s somewhere around there at least
peak escarp
the point still stands that it's farther into the future than current plans of landing humans on Mars
wise tulip
yeah exactly
twilit patrol
And as for the fact that there would be a map on Mars, I admit that it would not be really stupid, but we would have to find some lore in there.
wise tulip
i do wonder what they could do with it

Perhaps they use a technology to teleport to Mars ?

Opinions on Syms lore
I find it cool that she called a little girl ugly after that girl got hit by a rock when Parisio(or however you spell that map) was attacked

instead of just being a orphan shes a orphan that didn't just go "Ooooo hero(or villain) time :o"

mauga

everyone thought he would be the new tank but we got ramattra

I need to tell my friend that, I have been saying she was a orphan since I started playing her

coz I have never heard of him/her
peak escarp
this is the only mention of her family
the only confirmed orphans are Sombra, Mercy and Baptiste
worthy rose
sym doesn’t have much lore huh well she got more coz of life weaver
peak escarp
she has a comic and a short story
and another short story coming soon
the heroes with the least number of lore appearances are Hammond, Sigma, Hanzo, Lucio and Zenyatta
and Lifeweaver, but he's expected to appear in the upcoming Symmetra short story
and Hanzo is getting a short story with Kiriko
peak escarp
so that leaves Hammond, Sigma, Lucio and Zenyatta as the heroes with the least lore
and both Lucio and Zenyatta are confirmed to be in Story Missions
Hammond and Sigma's only appearances in the lore (aside from their origin stories) is cameos
true locust
i hope the mission where sigma is broken out of prison is a PVE mission
peak escarp
we saw that in the short story Code of Violence
it was Reaper's first mission with Talon

Can I ask, was Lifeweaver established in lore before he was announced into the game or was he solely created to be a playable character?

sour isle

Do we really NEED a Kiriko short story?
peak escarp
it's more about Null Sector attacking Tokyo
As Null Sector drop pods rain down on Tokyo, Hanzo hears the ghost of his father—and meets with a familiar face—in an electrifying tale by E.C. Myers.
I'm assuming the familiar face is Kiriko

I know pretty much nothing about the lore so excuse the lack of knowledge

sym has hardlight which is like greenlantern but without the willpower requirement and doomfist is strong hes fighting for 5th with reaper but hes been beat by wintson and orisa before

makes heroes more interesting and even relatable with some

What’s brigs backstory? I know almost everyone but hers. All I know about her is that she’s Torbs daughter
potent briar
Brig is Torb's daughter and Rein's squire/goddaughter. Reinhardt got to be her godfather after saving Torb from the mission that cost him his arm and eye (I'm like 79% sure it was in Istanbul.) Torb let Rein name Brigitte and be her godfather mainly to get him to stfu while he was recovering. Brig would usually patch up Rein after fights and later decided to be his squire to assist him on the battlefield instead of after it.
half wraith
Who are the ironclads
potent briar
Clan of engineers
known members include: Torbjorn and Brigitte Lindholm, and (formerly) Sven (surname unknown)
Sven made a bigass titan omnic and tried to fuck up some shit but Torb shot him in foot and folded him

she was built by Dr. Liao to be capable of copying any skill and performing any task, but Overwatch saw that as dangerous so they put restrictions on her, and when Liao died Echo was put into storage

Similar to the Sandstorm Cassidy skin and Reaper's Dusk skin
steel parrot
Btw i wonder if we will get ow 3
peak escarp
probably not
worthy rose
... I wouldn't count on that
steel parrot
YESSS ow 2 will be final cuz thats what everyone asked for (i think) or they can make what u want in ow 2
And that includes so many seasons
😍😍😍😍😍
I barely understood lifeweavers lore but kinda
Btw guys whos ur fav character?
rare trail
i like sigmas lore
steel parrot
Idk but top 3, ramattra then sombra and then orisa
worthy rose
Lore-wise my favorite is probably a tie between Ramattra, Sigma, and Doomfist
rare trail
yeah sombra gets a lot of hate for the endless invisibility and the hack
steel parrot
Ikr but its very funnn
My master plan to do is when someones alone i follow (in invisible mode✨✨✨) then hack them then oof em. LOLL probably everyone does thatt
Btw does invisible mode have a timer then u come out of it?
rare trail
no invis is infinite but it has a cooldown when you exit it
i think we're getting off topic
golden oak
she seems like she was just an ordinary omnic
So why did dr Liao make her
steel parrot
I hope sometime they add story modeeeeeeee
worthy rose
Oh please, I can't wait for PvE but at the same time I'll be as patient as necessary
peak escarp
I want PvE to be good, so I can wait
peak escarp
they were weapons of war used against humans
sleek matrix
The Omnic war
peak escarp
Bastion's programming was to attack the German city Stuttgart
sleek matrix
Bastion was lost in the woods and woke up after a bird built a nest on him
steel parrot
Oh
peak escarp
but something went wrong and Bastion disobeyed
sleek matrix
but something went wrong and Bastion disobeyed
He didn’t disobey he just didn’t make it to the battle field
steel parrot
But blue not?
peak escarp
He didn’t disobey he just didn’t make it to the battle field
I mean in the short
peak escarp
after waking up, he went to the battlefield
sleek matrix
Hold on I’ll find it <3
peak escarp
and was going to attack the city
steel parrot
Btw i remember when he touched that dead bastion then he wanted to attack but the birdy stopped him
THE BIRD IS SO CUTE
I WANT A BIRD NOW LOLLL
peak escarp
Bastion has a willpower that other Bastions didn't have
peak escarp
which means he gained sentience while he was dormant
steel parrot
What does sentience mean? And dormant?
steel parrot
Oooh
sleek matrix
I just watched all the shorts not to long ago
steel parrot
Btw how did null sector upgrade them?
worthy rose
The Bastions?
steel parrot
Nooo OR15
steel parrot
Nooooo ik dat
sleek matrix
Oh mb mb
worthy rose
OR15 were the defense robots in Numbani before Orisa
The ones Null Sector used had a different name I forgot
peak escarp
OR14s fought during the crisis
sleek matrix
Yea that what I was thinking😭
peak escarp
one cut out Reinhardt's eye
worthy rose
OR14s fought during the crisis
Oh yeah right, because they appear in Rein's short
steel parrot
Btw so how did they get upgraded to evil?
peak escarp
Null Sector used OR14-NS
sleek matrix
They were built that way
steel parrot
Oh
worthy rose
Yeah so modified variants of the Omnic Crisis OR14s
peak escarp
omnics during the crisis were being controlled by the god program Anubis
sleek matrix
The “good” ones like orisa and bastion are the upgraded versions
steel parrot
Oh
peak escarp
it's unknown why Anubis attacked humanity
steel parrot
I hate Anubis like WHY?!? But it does make an awsome story
Storyline
Btw imagine Omnic Crisis in irl
I would be so scareddd
I mean Omnic Crisis irlll.... Thats scary
Im scared of.robots
formal estuary
Thoughts on ana and rein? I love their interactions w each other
late response, wish ana would get a divorce and be with him ngl
twilit patrol
Omnics*

omnics are robots though
twilit patrol
What you meant ?
steel parrot
but also kinda cool
How cooll?
steel parrot
But also robots look kinda scary
worthy rose

I'm a big fan of the sci-fi war robots kind of thing and Overwatch is no exception

dense nebula
How likely is it to see Anubis as a potential future hero?
rare trail
not at all
dense nebula
Or is his story over and done now
worthy rose
or just create a emp
rare trail
anubis doesnt really have a physical form
worthy rose
lol
dense nebula
anubis doesnt really have a physical form
Could easily give him a robot body
rare trail
whats the point though
rare trail
his story ended twenty years ago
worthy rose
that would be weird
worthy rose
Anubis reborn did I miss something
twilit patrol
I have doubts
steel parrot
Imagine how the world will when its 2067
twilit patrol
Ramattra was created by Anubis ?
rare trail
anubis is the evil ai that started the omnic crisis
dense nebula
Anubis reborn IE a figment of imagination where he gets a robot body
As in not canon
worthy rose
Imagine how the world will when its 2067
cool
twilit patrol
Imagine how the world will when its 2067
2077

It’s still early enough in history for Reinhardt to know Hasselhoff
worthy rose
it won’t surprise me
dense nebula

Or even hackers
sleek matrix
There’s already both
twilit patrol
Imagine how the world will when its 2067
We'll have technologies that no one has yet dreamed of

who is strongest omnic hero in lore
sleek matrix
U have robot delivering food
dense nebula
who is strongest omnic hero in lore
Probably Ramattra but we’ve never seen him in action
worthy rose
ye
rare trail
who is strongest omnic hero in lore
orisa
dense nebula
Orisa is a weird case imo
sleek matrix
who is strongest omnic hero in lore
Ramattra deff
twilit patrol
who is strongest omnic hero in lore
I would say Orisa
worthy rose
orisa vs ramattra I would like to see that butt ramattra won’t hurt orther omnics
dense nebula
She was specifically designed to fight Doomfist and beat him, but who knows how she is outside of a Doomfist fight
rare trail
ramattra doesnt have nemesis in lore
twilit patrol
ramattra doesnt have nemesis in lore
We don't know
dense nebula
ramattra doesnt have nemesis in lore
We just haven’t seen it yet
rare trail
which means it isnt canon
dense nebula
Yet
rare trail
we dont know that
dense nebula
Just because it hasn’t been shown yet doesn’t mean it’s not canon
rare trail
thats exactly what that means
dense nebula
Bruh what?
rare trail
if its not in canon material then its not canon
sullen verge

twilit patrol
how many times someone said canon
15 934
worthy rose
bruh
dense nebula
I wonder what the lore for Bastion’s different forms will be
Since canonically he had the turret form
worthy rose
Also tank
dense nebula
I wonder if Torb’ll upgrade him to get the mobile assault and Artillery
worthy rose
would be cool
dense nebula
We never saw Tank in lore I don’t think
twilit patrol
We never saw Tank in lore I don’t think
What ???
rare trail
i thought null sector omnics in old pve missions had tank form
dense nebula
Ah then nvm then
dense nebula
i thought null sector omnics in old pve missions had tank form
Oh yeah those PvE missions existed
worthy rose
ye forgot when overwatch actually made fun pve missions
rare trail
self repair and sentry are def canon but i dont think bastion has ever been shown to use tank form in canon stuff
dense nebula

Apparently tank form was in Honor and Glory
worthy rose
reyes what did you do this was not the plan
Yeah I just checked, Bastions are in tank form in Honor and Glory
peak escarp
#itwasMoira'sfault

Apparently tank form was in Honor and Glory
that wasnt bastion though that was another omnic

#itwasMoira'sfault
#blameMorrison

Plan B 
worthy rose
#blameveryone
worthy rose
that wasnt bastion though that was another omnic
Well it's the same model as Bastion's old tank form
rare trail
yea
dense nebula
orisa had a sword too
The OR-14’s had one
rare trail
Well it's the same model as Bastion's old tank form <:ReaperShrug:58566607445268...
thats not bastion though there could be different models of bastions
worthy rose
she had like a halo energy sword
rare trail
one with the gun sentry and others with tank
worthy rose
thats not bastion though there could be different models of bastions
Yeah and it also doesn't make sense that he just sprouts tank treads from seemingly nowhere when transforming
rare trail
orisa had a sword too
yeah or14s have swords
worthy rose
would be cool as a ability tbh
dense nebula
Mauga better be the next tank smh
twilit patrol
would be cool as a ability tbh
Yeah and we got a javelin
dense nebula
He also better be a cyborg if the Bap story meant anything
peak escarp
we've never seen a Bastion transform into tank form in the lore
worthy rose
ye his voice lines with bap gonna be nuts
peak escarp
they might have been separate models
dense nebula
I hope Mauga is bloodthirsty but still jolly
dense nebula
I don’t see Sanjay being a tank or dps
Honestly
I think he’d be a backline tactician support
worthy rose
who is Sanjay
rare trail
i dont really see sanjay getting added
rare trail
who is Sanjay
vishkar guy
dense nebula
who is Sanjay
Head of Vishkar and member of Talon’s inner circle
worthy rose
oh ok
rare trail
hes in talon
dense nebula
I wanna see Hamid Faisal cause I love me a good Indiana Jones character
worthy rose
I wanna see that one guy on the overwatch foto
dense nebula
We’ve never seen him visually, we just know Hamid is an archeologist and is close to Ana
And may or may not be funded by Talon
peak escarp
I want Sanjay as a tank with hardlight armor
worthy rose
with reyes rein mercy tracer etc
dense nebula
I wanna see that one guy on the overwatch foto
Liao?
peak escarp
that's not Liao
worthy rose
The one spiky-haired dude with no explanation
peak escarp
Liao was a woman
worthy rose
rip
dense nebula
I personally want to see the head of Hashimoto as a playable hero
worthy rose
but I looked it up it is lioa or something like that
upbeat violet
we need Mauga
worthy rose
mauga
dense nebula
Agreed
upbeat violet
ground pharah
dense nebula
Nah, give him dual miniguns
worthy rose
we need Max
dense nebula
It’s what he deserves
twilit patrol
we need Max
No
worthy rose
yes more omnics
upbeat violet
hog already has a minigun
peak escarp
this is the photo
worthy rose
ye the guy on the left
ivory garnet
damn Doctor, I was about to send it
peak escarp
this is Dr. Mina Liao
worthy rose
she was from that echo short wasn’t she
ivory garnet
lemme boost the HD 
dense nebula
Echo is technically Liao but that’s a complicated story
peak escarp
we don't know who the guy on the left is, but everyone else in the photo is a playable hero
peak escarp
Echo is technically Liao but that’s a complicated story
she's not
worthy rose
we need him added
peak escarp
Echo mimicked Liao
worthy rose
I want him, he looks cool
dense nebula
Echo mimicked Liao
Hence why I said technically
worthy rose
he looks like a chill dude wonder what he is doing now
peak escarp
that's not the same as being Liao
dense nebula
he looks like a chill dude wonder what he is doing now
Prob off being a Talon operative idk
upbeat violet
they should make another event like blackwatch with lore doomfist as a boss
worthy rose
they should make another event like blackwatch with lore doomfist as a boss
that’s why we have pve
soon
dense nebula
they should make another event like blackwatch with lore doomfist as a boss
Numbani mission with Genji Tracer and Winston
peak escarp
Numbani mission with Genji Tracer and Winston
Singapore
twilit patrol
Numbani mission with Genji Tracer and Winston
Numbani ?
worthy rose
and a healer
ivory garnet
why a Numbani mission?
dense nebula
I get to watch Tracer be destroyed again
peak escarp
not Numbani
dense nebula
Wait that was Singapore?
twilit patrol
Yes
ivory garnet
yeah
twilit patrol
SIngapore
peak escarp
yes
twilit patrol
Numbani was after his evasion
ivory garnet
and its not likely blizzard will go over the same events twice through 2 different media
upbeat violet
yeah
peak escarp
yeah
twilit patrol
Why Mercy wasn't at Singapore ?
upbeat violet
I think maybe a mission with Sombra betraying Talon
worthy rose
idk
upbeat violet
it’s been implied for a while that’s it’s what shes trying to do I believe
worthy rose
talon needs sombra tho
dense nebula
I think maybe a mission with Sombra betraying Talon
Sombra betraying Talon doesn’t seem in her character, she’d want to keep access to the big resources as much as possible
worthy rose
but she already backstapped reaper and widow
upbeat violet
Sombra betraying Talon doesn’t seem in her character, she’d want to keep access ...
she could get bigger resources by doing so
dense nebula
Doubt it
upbeat violet
as seen with the Russian woman
worthy rose
sombra has a friend sigma
upbeat violet
she went against Talons objective to attain her as an ally
peak escarp
Why Mercy wasn't at Singapore ?
she was dealing with a humanitarian situation in Egypt
upbeat violet
How did she get the chance to meet Volskaya?
talon mission
the objective was to kidnap her and Sombra instead attained her as an ally and let her go
twilit patrol
she was dealing with a humanitarian situation in Egypt
At least she didn't risk getting hurt
peak escarp
Sojourn and Mercy have dialogue about it during Storm Rising
upbeat violet
saying to Talon that she ran off
dense nebula

The objective was to kill her
Why else have Widowmaker stare her down
ivory garnet
they knew it was Sombra that set the alarm off
Doomfist noted it was better to keep Volskaya alive
peak escarp
upbeat violet
The objective was to kill her <:AFrog:585665595685601282>
pretty sure there was a change of mind
maybe initially but kidnapping her does seem like the better plan
dense nebula
How cyborg is Doom anyways?
He seems like nearly fully cybernetic with synthetic skin
peak escarp
his right arm is cybernetic, plus he has implants
ivory garnet
Sojourn and Genji are more cybernetic
peak escarp
yes
ivory garnet
Doomfist is on the lower side compared to them
peak escarp
Doomfist is about as cybernetic as Torb, Cassidy or Symmetra
and Lifeweaver, I guess
dense nebula
How cybernetic would Mauga be after that explosion he took point blank?
peak escarp
hard to say
ivory garnet
more than Doomfist I’d presume
upbeat violet
id say as much as Genji
dense nebula
Doubt he’d be in perfect condition
peak escarp
medical technology is pretty advanced
upbeat violet
it really depends on what the decision making comes to be
dense nebula
I swear if he no scratches on him
upbeat violet
would mauga be more useful if he was cybernetic like Genji
or better left off with few cybernetic enhancements and just nurse him back to health
dense nebula
Mauga is Mauga in terms of usefulness, point him somewhere and chances are that place is gone
fresh rock
How cybernetic would Mauga be after that explosion he took point blank?
So you're tellin' me he tanked an explosion?
Jesus get him in the game already
dense nebula
He wasn’t wearing nothing after all
I’m pretty sure he had his armor on
He was trying to gun down Bap when it happened
fresh rock
Brrrrrrr that's not stopping me from wanting him
Ramattra is great and all
But if this next tank is not Mauga... 😭
Anyways off topic sorry
peak escarp
also he's possibly genetically enhanced
upbeat violet
most likely
worthy rose
He is (was?) a Talon heavy assault after all, so there's a good chance he is
peak escarp
fresh rock
He would be a really interesting character to fit in
fresh rock
Very useful information
Okay, like the Archive missions, do you think we're getting cutscenes?
dense nebula
Does Talon use a modified version of the Blackwatch logo or something?
worthy rose
No this is Talon's logo
peak escarp
the Blackwatch logo is on the document because it's a Blackwatch document about Talon
you can find the whole thing here
https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/21704590/
there's also audio logs for the mission
which surprisingly, nobody has compiled into a single video
rare trail
that reyes one takes me to the moira tweet
upbeat violet
have Cassidy and the Deadlock Gang re encountered?
peak escarp
only in Reunion
golden oak
What do we know about Katya? I feel like not many people talk about her
peak escarp
she's the CEO of Volskaya Industries
she has a young daughter
that's basically all we know
dense nebula
Send the child into the frontlines in the mech suit, make her the new tank
peak escarp
no
dense nebula
Those Mechs used Zarya’s gun or an innovation of it right?
golden oak
that's basically all we know
That’s disappointing
Btw when and why zarya joined overwatch
dense nebula
She didn’t afaik
golden oak
She didn’t afaik
fresh rock
Who were the founders of Talon? Other than big ol' Fisty
dense nebula
Images won’t load for me right now
golden oak
Who were the founders of Talon? Other than big ol' Fisty
Akande didn’t found talon
He joined and killed the previous doomfist, his mentor
fresh rock
Thank you for this information
golden oak
I don’t think it’s known who found it
peak escarp
Btw when and why zarya joined overwatch
Cassidy recruited her in issue 4 of New Blood
ivory garnet
iirc, the Doomfist before Akande was in Talon
the 1st one was a hero of the crisis
we dont know when Talon was founded tho im pretty sure
peak escarp
correct
peak escarp
pretty sure the second Doomfist killed the first to take the title
dense nebula
a Hero, then 2 apart of a terrorist organization
The Savior, the Scourge and the Successor
The Savior’s gauntlet was nothing more than a special brass knuckle
The Scourge was where the Doomfist really took form
Then the Successor (our Doomfist) made it what it is today
idle finch
pretty sure the second Doomfist killed the first to take the title
yeah
