if the tracer experiment succeeds then the subject is still going to have been gone for months and if it doesnt they probably die
no need to be rude jsut because you're told how and why you're wrong
They had no idea they’d make it home or if there was even any reason to make it into space but they went there anyway
its not like there werent tests or anything they didnt just randomly send manned rockets up there
sigma and tracer’s result were by chance
No I’m being rude because you won’t accept logic over “nuh uh it’s wrong because I can’t comprehend common knowledge”
People would still randomly throw themselves at it in order to find out if you really could
Or if not themselves
Animals
Hence the space station on the moon
tracer and sigmas thing arent replicable and even if they were they arent something anyone wants to do
Goose ain’t know what history is 💀
it's possible that other groups may have tried to replicate Tracer/Sigma's accidents, but so far they have not succeeded
as far as we know
Exactly. Hence why it’s possible that maybe just maybe, they added a prototype to genjis suit
oh yeah remember when that scientist got control over gravity
that doesnt make any sense
Nothing on sigma yet obv but he’s also very not well known in the world
why would it never be mentioned that it was on genjis suit
why would the effect be so different
However, tracer and Genji, if theyctried to replicate tracers idea it’s entirely possible that they could’ve tried to put something like that into him
its not possible
As a prototype experiment
Goose I ain’t talking to you homie you can go bye bye now
keep it civil
I’m trying but homie is so unlogical im about to mute
unlogical
There’s nothing that states exactly what they put in genjis suit
There’s literally nothing anywhere that states every part and process they put into his body
if he had anything like tracers device im sure they’d have mentioned
there's no evidence they gave him a prototype of Tracer's powers
tracers blinks are only possible because of her chronal disassociation
True
his dash stops because he stops putting energy into it to continue it
And the help of the iron man thingy to control it
Exactly, that’s why I’m putting the idea out there to be discussed
But instead I’m getting “nuh uh it didnt say that here here and here”
that idea doesnt make sense
how can we discuss it if there's no evidence?
Because there’s the possibility
there isnt
Extremely unlikely
you need to have chronal disassociation to even blink in the first place
They didn’t state a single thing about genjis body other than “it’s cybernetic”
what are you talking about
Yes
they've gone more into detail than that
given what we know about Tracer's abilities, it's impossible for Genji to have them
ever considered the possibility he’s not blinking and just going really fast and then stopping really fast
Her blink is literally her moving through time
But it’s entirely possible for someone to want to recreate tracers abilities.
possible
want to, sure
never shown
be able to, not likely
Yes genji doesnt blink tf you mean
And if a man is on deaths door anyways why wouldn’t he agree to have some kind of prototype put in him
How would he hit people in his dash if he teleports behind them
He goes through them
He hasn't shown any evidence of that ability nor has it been even hinted to
Like little bits of time travel
they’d need training
Ik but she doesnt phsically move the distance
like you're jsut writing fanfiction of what if genji had tracer powers
its not supported by anything
Goose you still don’t even have the original point I put across. Once again I ain’t talking to you
Actually none of the new people really do 🤔
none of the point you've brought up make sense
I have no idea what point you're trying to make
genji doesnt have tracers powers
genji cant have tracers powers
Tracer teleports through time and space
again, what if, Genji is moving really fast, and then stops really fast
Cause u sound dumb putting a idea with nothing to support it here
and that’s how it happens
I give up on this community. Y’all literally room temperature iq 🫠
genji is scout tf2, tracer is a teleporter
My room is 9999 degrees
you’re saying the same thing over and over and getting the same answers
this is a channel for discussing the canon of Overwatch, not hypotheticals
you said an unsupported idea and people criticized it
Exhibit A
so help me GOD I will switch off autocorrect
and then including certain insults in between
With 0 logical evidence to say “no” to it
you're just ignoring the evidence
burden of proof is on the one making the claim
I’ve given many many many many many reasons behind why it’s possible and entirely reasonable
YALL are ignoring the evidence
chronal disassociation and the harness is what lets tracer blink
we've given plenty of counterarguments
It also wasn’t ever a claim
which you choose to ignore
It was simply an idea
what is one piece of evidence you've provided?
an impossible idea
Literally all your counter arguments were “it wasn’t tattooed on Jeff’s butt so it’s not there”
no
what evidence
no one has talked about jeff
Or “this character is special in their own way :D”
what are you talking about
keep attacking strawmen ig
Ur evidence is that it's a possibility that seems extremely unlikely
It means “it’s not written down specifically here”
Keep up goose
you're wrong
Anything is a possibility is ur evidence
You seem like someone I can have a genuine conversation with about this
tracer can blink because of chronal disassociation genji doesnt have that so he cant blink
arguments against replicating Tracer's condition:
- it was a unique accident that is impossible to replicate
- it used proprietary technology that only Overwatch has access to
- it relies on a unique condition for it to function
Goose I’ve entirely stopped caring about responding to you or even reading your responses. If I find a way to mute you, I won’t let you know
That type of evidence holds no value but it would be cool
ok here’s my idea: clover was dropped on the sidewalk as a young child and it affects their mental state to this day
disprove it
I want logical arguments
you've said that a lot and kept responding to me anways
please don't resort to personal attacks
theres nothing showing genji can blink
ad hominem, invalid argument I mean yes’m
Here’s my evidence.
Winston found a way to anchor tracer to the present. So they naturally must have some idea as to how it works.
Genji and tracer both shoot forward rapidly and stop instantaneously.
Angela and Winston both worked to help tracer AND Genji. Tracer possibly before Genji.
Tracers ability is a very powerful ability that if possible anyone would want to recreate in persuit of power. If Genji is about to dye anyway, why not test some kind of prototype while rebuilding him.
There’s more but I don’t want to take up the whole page with one comment
Also, not evidence. I forgot what it’s called
Thesis? Hypothesis
He made the device based on how the incident affected tracer
One of the two
Winston being able to provide a solution doesn't mean he knows how it happens or how to replicate it, same goes for Mercy
Hypothesis, AKA a claim
That’s science for you
Where is the lore about why widowmaker is sexy and not tactical?
Keep your story straight
But they must know somewhat of how it works. Doesn’t mean they need to know@every little detail
Just enough to replicate the idea so they can somehow counteract it
Genji and Tracer do both shoot forward and stop suddenly, but the visuals are different, indicating that the mechanism for it is different
Her outfit being hyper sexualized makes no sense since she’s a sniper
She she be like that talon sniper
From archives
it makes sense because she used to be a ballerina
Right because tracer already has chronal disassociation
I mean, I guess so?
So for Genji, if he were to replicate it, they’d need to find a way to essentially force it
And what better way to test things like that then with robotics
She wore that one outfit in the comic where she blasted Ana’s ass
Which was tactical
Genji's dash is explained canonically as cyber-agility... something his cybernetics allow him to do
But what exactly IS cyber agility?
oh my god
Is it super strength into his legs?
Yeah but genji is physically dashing through the air and stopping when he loses momentum and tracer teleports through time and space
Diffetent
Agility is a description
He has no limits
cyber legs from EYE divine cybermancy
In terms of agility
his legs are OK
Neither Genji nor tracer hold momentum after dash
Or blink
If genjis dash was just a jump, wouldn’t he hold momentum like doom fist?
genji and tracer both shoot foward rapidly and stop but the visuals and mechanics are very different experimenting on a dying man isnt something angela or winston would do
Ok?? Genji uses cybernetic stuffness to physically move forward fast
All momentum is gone besides that of moving forward in a regular walk
Tracers is instant because she doesnt use any physical strength
She teleports through time and space
So what indicates that Genji is using physical strength to do his?
He can use it midair
He is using robot magic
Last I checked air doesn’t exactly give af about your strength
Lmfao
Yes but he literally moves forward
same way he can double jump
On the screen you move forward fast
genji stops because he stops putting energy in to keep the dash going
Tracer doesnt move she teleports essentiallu
You clearly didn’t take physics class
because it's fiction and double jumps and speedy dashes are something ninja can do in fiction
That’s true, I wonder how that would work too
not an argument
Then again it’s also possible cause Hanzo can too
Yes
With his air hop thingy
you have to like actually point out whats wrong about my statement instead of making a vague "you're dumb!" response
It doesnt need to apply to the laws of physics
is lunge canon?
I did. If you read into it more I said “physics don’t work like that”
You can’t just “stop putting energy” into a jump and instantly slow down
monkeys don’t talk and beams don’t heal
ITS FICTIONAL. LAWS OF PHYSICS DONT NEED TO APPLY
he stops putting energy in before he stops moving
theres a deceleration period
oh ffs do you need regular to react too?
There really isn’t though
there is
He stops his momentum instantly and then falls if you throw it in the air forward
There’s no flying through the air like doom fist
And???
not instantly
Yes instantly have you played him? Or watched the newest clip
regardless unless you have a canon scenario where that happens it doesnt matter
Again, tracer doesn’t teleport
Watching a genji dash you can hit him while he dashes because it isnt instant. He moves through the air
What the hell are we arguing abt I can’t keep up
Even though in game it is a teleport cause you can’t be hit with it. But her thing is all about time travel
That’s why she can reload so fast and go back in time to heal herself etc etc
Tf you mean? I know. Im not trying to explain that shes moving through time and space every time
Im saying teleport bc in game she teleports
Did you even read it
Idfk anymore I got 6 people barking at me with the logic of “it’s fiction” and 5 others that use “it wasn’t specifically said here because these characters are special” so
I understand tthe lore
theres no canon material that shows her healing
And i explained I understand that tracer doesnt teleport 2 times before
Okay well either way she rewinds herself in time
I know
She heals in game and she literally goes back to a place she was in time
I’m responding to goose
in game isnt canon material
Bro did the “uhm acktually”
I wish I could humbly take death rn
i just pointed out how you were wrong
when she recalls in Alive, she is able to get un-gassed by Widowmaker's venom mine
With an “uhm acktually” 🤡
that's the closest we have to her healing
i kinda thought it just didnt last that long
And technically that’s not healing per se
People don’t just “heal” from bullets anyway
But debatable
The robot dude died to one widow shot
JFK would like a word
She goes back in time
So we can all say that lore wise bullets still do bullet things
Wtf
if Tracer could canonically heal by Recall, she could have recalled when she got shot in London Calling 5
Great I don’t even know wtf were arguing about at all anymore now everyone’s just attacking me because “NO UR CLAIM BAD”
Not true, it was going for the accelerator
That bullet would have destroyed it like when doom fist caught her
No one said that
But she could have maybe blinked?
she might've been out of blinks
She has a limit”
museum shows that theres a limited amount
?
yes
the shots were aimed at Iggy - Tracer blinked in to take the shot for her, getting hit in the chest
they weren't aimed at her chronal accelerator
In the animation it went for that circle thing on her chest
That’s the accelerator isn’t it?
I'm talking about the comic, not the short
They’re the same though..
Oh no I was talking about when widow shot at tracer and it killed that dude getting into the limo
That was Mondatta
goose mentioned Tracer being able to heal by recalling, I said she got shot and couldn't recall
so I'm following up on that
Oh yea I followed up on that too
Said in game you can heal bullets but bullets kill people in reality of both comics and the shorts so naturally tracer didn’t want to take the shot in the short
But it ended up hitting mandatta
Mondotta
I can’t type
Fingers are cold
she didn't know that Mondatta was in the line of fire
Right I know
she does express regret and says she would have taken the shot if she knew
But she couldn’t recall either at the time cause a bullet like that would’ve killed her
Unless she knew of course
But at the time if she’s fighting she’s rather dodge a bullet and keep fighting
and by the time she realized what had happened, recalling would not have done anything
she can't un-shoot Mondatta
Obviously
That’s not what I was saying lol
I was saying she wouldn’t take the hit just to tank it and recall
correct
Yea no this is a completely different tangent without a point lmao
It was all to explain how tracers “healing” recall is different from real recall
this statement has me interested
Oh wait
So maybe she could tank the bullet and recall out had it not been going for the accelerator?
it means a few things:
- Emily knows how the accelerator works, and its limits
- there's a limit to the injuries Tracer can recall out of
- the chronal accelerator can function damaged, but with limited effectiveness
So she can infact heal herself to some extent
Autocorrect would@you please stop being a prick
it also seems like if she blinks through the path of a bullet, it will strike her multiple times
Emily says the bullet hit her over and over, because she was moving faster than the bullet
the way tracers powers work remind me of mih
Again. Showing it’s pretty similar to Genjis very fast dash js >_>
like they both move someone forward in a direction but like its basically reins charge
Genji never had the disassociation
reins charge genjis dash and tracers blink are all similar in that sense
Not entirely. Tracer and Genji are about the same weight so that supports your theory on genjis simply overpowering speed
Rein has a lot more weight carry so he has to have a fuckin badass jet on his back
And hammer
But like. Functionality wise Genji and tracer are both very similar in speed and they way they cooperate. They even talk like they run missions together because they are very similar in fighting style
So. Even though it’s not specifically said. Why wouldn’t it be possible for Genji to simply have some type of forced, experimental, prototype chrono disassociation and accelerator built into his new body?!
possible, but unlikely
That’s the discussion I was TRYING to bring
Is that it’s POSSIBLE
Not that it is that absolutely
because they would not force an experimental tech on him, even if it was possible to replicate it
But literally everyone took it as me making some kind of claim that this is how it works
Overwatch (at least publicly) is an ethical organization
True. But we also just discovered tracer can recall through certain amounts of damage
Mercy in particular has strong ethics, and would not participate
What if that was how@they saved Genji? Cause in the short it looks like Genji was basically split in half
Mercy's medical tech is more than enough to heal Genji of his injuries
we don't know the details of his injuries, only that he was left unable to walk
I wish I knew exactly what kind of injuries Genji had
it's likely that his limbs were replaced as part of the cyberization process
Right. If mercy’s tech can save someone on the brink of death though, why even rebuild his body in the first place?
Cause they literally rebuilt his entire body
He only has his upper body from the looks of it
saving someone's life isn't the same as restoring function
That’s true
and he didn't need the cyborg body to be saved
But it sounds like that was forced on him
Because it took him time to grieve over his body
the cyborg body was an offer from Overwatch in exchange for his help taking down his family
He didn’t know what he became
It was an offer? Is that in a comic?
I know I didn’t get through reading all of them but I read most
As Genji's injuries left him clinging to life, Overwatch offered to rebuild his body in exchange for his help.
That sounds more like they offered everything at once
Genji: Pain and agony. And what am I? Man or machine?
McCree: Then why did you agree to it?
Genji: I wanted to be able to walk again.```
from Retribution
Like they offered to save him and rebuild him at the same time
Not just to save him
if he was on death's door, I doubt he was able to consent to having his life saved
it seems more likely that he was saved, then given the cyborg offer
His injuries left him clinging to life
That sounds like he still has those injuries
Like he’s about to die
It’s all the way it’s perceived though
And naturally it’s a comic so they can’t put in true reality like when you’re about to die you can’t really talk or move. But in comics you can irk out your last words and walk to the last place you needed to go
But it seems to me like it was almost a “we’ll save you but in exchange we need your help”
I would really like to see (or read I guess, since I'd like it to be in a short story/novel so we can get internal thoughts) their fight
Me too
It would be so nice to see some more actually lore from overwatch
It’s all just little clips and snippets
I still don’t know what Murphy looks like
But yea I wasn’t trying to be a know it all “this is how Genji works” before i was just bringing up an idea to be discussed in the lore discussion channel since it would be a really cool idea if it were true. And it’s not exactly impossible for it to be a possibility either
Is that from overwatch? It looks a little unfinished
it is unfinished
Oh yea that’s the update video
it's a Sojourn cinematic that's in production
we first learned about it over a year ago
I want to see a zen cinematic
Bro had very very little lore on him whatsoever and he’s still so fuckin interesting
there is some animation with him being attacked by sombra and widow
There is?
Thank god. I’m tryna figure out how he can kick Reinhardt to Neptune
Still the greatest buff in ow history
Amélie is mad 
smh when talon training is enough to just barely shoot 3 shuriken's away
it's already off to a bad start
I like the Talon trooper who drops his gun when Genji shows up
oh there's two of them
he's like, "Oh shit we fucked up."
lol
They KNOW what's about to happen
"Ain't that the guy from Venice?"
Venice is the hotspot for all things crime appearantly lmao
Yeah lol
Zenyatta just standing there
Kind of cursed actually
We never see him stand so causally

There's a reason his "stretch" emote is a Halloween emote
Drops his gun and fuckin BAILS
I just love how Zenyatta just chills when the talon agents arrive lol
like he's also got something up his sleeve
Zenyatta keeps calm
by focusing on his breathing
But.. he don’t breath?
"Exactly"
🤨
Coming from a Genji one trick. This makes me happy
Don’t turn tricks kids
already did
id say im pretty decent with it too. im not a shadder or a necros but i can hold my own
anyway back to lore
wait so hesmeditating the entire fight
ow2 zen is just built different
i badly wanna see a proper reunion of zen v rammatra. cause in games on the same team they talk to each other like they are still friends but if rammatra is seen as a bad guy (ish) then would they fight or simply agree to disagree
I think they respect each other enough to talk first
but neither will agree with the other's position
I had an idea in my head of how I'd expect that to happen but Ram doesn't trust mondatta's teachings
I do think Zen would be able to get through Ram though
it seems almost like ram would agree with zen but in the "it should be that way but it isnt"
it sounds like rammatra wished for peace but now simply feels that humans must be punished for refusing to be peaceful"
Ramattra: I have suffered so everyone else should suffer.
Zenyatta: I have suffered so nobody else should suffer.
exactly
"experience tranquility" over "suffer as i have"
its interesting too how similar their ultimates are
ramatra has an aoe of damage while zen is an aoe of healing
completely intentional on the part of the designers, I'm sure
very true to their character
it also makes Zen a great counter to Ramattra's ult
When hanzo and McCree ship confirmed
until the Ana nade comes along
I don’t get it
or until the junker queen rampage comes in
I’m dumb tho
only problem is zen's ult is a set duration
rams was infinite for a bit there
i still cant beleive that passed overwatchs nose like "oh yea. defense and stopping ult timer. sounds good to me"
it might relate to how violence keeps on while peace is only there for a set amount of time
i still wanna understand what zen means by "planting a tree in a volcano"
its almost like zen agrees with rammatra but stays true to the peace thing
maybe he means to try and introduce peace even in places where the chances seem dire
I feel like Doomfist used to be much more interesting in his goals and now is kinda cartoon villain
I’m not sure why I feel this way
i still dont really understand it
I mean his goal is still to plunge the world into a new conflict to strengthen humanity
I get that, but it used to seem more nuanced
I mean yeah, his hero select voice line used to literally be: "Only through conflict do we evolve"
Like I feel like his goals felt as sympathetic as Ramattra’s, but then OW2 came out and even before Ram, he felt off to me
the tank role changed him
For me personally, he was made a little less menacing with the change to his ability voice lines ngl. Like how he says "wait for it", "ready for a knockout?" when charging punch, instead of just grunting menacingly
Yeah I don’t like almost any of the changes to voice lines
I prefer the originals almost every time
Like with doom, rein, sombra, pharah
Just off the top of my head
overwatch went too far on the casual gaming side and not enough with the serious competitive "hey theres actually lore btw"
I don't mind the seismic slam lines because they're fine imo, since he doesn't say anything that seems slightly out of character, unlike with punch
I don’t mind that either, never did
What I think they're trying to do is copy what Riot is doing with League of Legends and it's lore, have a competitive side but also go, "Oh hey look here's some lore for you to waste your time with."
I used to live brig, but now I resent her because of her in game character
She has no personality imo
I’m open to hear your thoughts though
the skip day dialogue makes my heart ache
?
The one with Mei I think it is
I don’t think I’ve heard it
I’ll look it up quickly
Brigitte: No way! Today's my cheat day. I'm going to eat a whole apple pie and sleep.
Mei: Cheat day? Is that allowed?
Brigitte: Of course! My workout, my rules.```
Brigitte's personality went from "naive beginner hero" to "gym rat"
we don't know
Bummer, we hardly know anything about them when they were introduced individually.
we don't even know their names
we know three of them are Ryota, Nobuto and Sakura, but we don't know which ones
you think sakura is ghonna be useless like in naruto?
she seemed pretty useful in the short story
sakura did too in shonen jump lmao
Reaper da cartoon villain frfr
do you guys think pve will add more flesh to the characters
like sym will do more with hard light than just create walls
PvE been in development for god knows how long
i dont know how much I could take if they did it with spinoff games
Too much flesh
On a loosely related note, will a character ever use fire as a main part of their kits?
Or is that too much for a teen rated game?
Ashe has dynamite, torb has molten core, but I think that’s it
i dont think its about it being a teenrated game
it'd be really broken if its anything like ashe's status effect on dynamite
and if it wasnt then people would just complain that its the same fire and that theres no reason for it to do different dmg
has nothing to do with the maturity, just how the abilities work and lore behind it
it would have to be pretty low damage
I mean it would be a difficult thing, would be a mei clone with a flamethrower
That’s what I have always thought
Its the easy route
and the most logical one imo
flamethrower, napalm, ult is like an inferno ring. Just mei w fire
or like a tf2 pyro
yes
maybe we could have a character whose ult is a giant flamethrower
mauga is a nice bet for it
I’m not sure how it could be balanced to fit into the game though
Fuck balancing
Just give me a flamethrower
If they gave a fuck about balancing, cassidy's nade would've gotten an actual nerf by now
Sojourn for a while
Bruh
this is the lore channel my guy
stay on topic
Was I talking to you?
Anyway realistically they prolly wouldn't balance it right away at start but they'd find a way to
The devs even said they wanted to make a flamethrower hero
And Mauga's psycho ass would go great w/ that
Wouldn't make a difference
Veskari is right. Please observe the channel rules, if you want to discuss balancing or speculate future heroes for gameplay then go chat in #overwatch-serious
i want more moira lore
When Mauga comes there's probably gonna be something
Id assume he has a flamethrower given how his suit looks
I mean I could also see him having burt guns
one sice shoots nades and the other shoots burst fire
istg if it burns like ash's dynamite imma be pissed
May not
given that ashes dynamite is the first fire they added
they probably refine it for the next hero
Lore wise though id assume that they would have some sort of fire hero to disable mei
in terms of story
It would be funny to see her shit melt
Those are dual miniguns
Based on the fact he’s a heavy assault trooper and those guys had miniguns in the Archives PvE missions they are in
I doubt he’d be the same as he looks now
He’s def gotta be part cybernetic.
When we see him again
Considering Bap blew him the fuck up
And he was right next to the explosion
No, Mauga is paired with duel wielded miniguns, he's a heavy assault talon trooper
That would be so cool especially pairing with Bap
nade cannon projectile, flame cannon upclose, mega cannon ultimate that combines the two yo
would be neat if it worked somewhat like tachankas nades
seeing as he is a tank
he could create space
and seeing as him and bap seemed to work together
a medic needs space to work
yeah that would be cool
I wonder what he uses in no one left behind
Seems like just energy shield and guns
.
wonder if they would add him to just be rein with a gun
Probably not, but it’s not impossible
do you guys think hanzo would be directed to zen by Genji
so that he could finally forgive himself
At first I didn’t like the connotation with “directed” but nvm I realized that it makes sense
I mean maybe, I imagine it will be mostly a hanzo struggle and zen will have only one interaction with him that he can reflect on
would make sense
L
How 3 of the heros faked their deaths be like
Also wtf
That’s so many
For Soldier, Reaper, and Ana they were like
Rein watching all his friends abandon him, fake their deaths and come back all without telling him
Fr, you can kinda tell how it messed him up with Ana a little
Im surprised torb didn’t fake his death for his comic to take out that other engineer as a vigilante
Or how mercy didn’t just turn into a vigilante and start fighting big pharma with her caduceus staff
Hey, maybe emre faked his death too 👀
lol that is true
Maybe balderich faked his death too lol
I hope so
Gigachad dilf
Best rein skin
I bet the 2nd Doomfist faked his death too
Same with mondatta
And all of mei’s friends
And Dr. Winston
Death isn’t real in overwatch, they just get sent back to spawn
the action of several people saying so led me to say please
Wait what
People wanted to punch doggo?
for some reason
Someone will die when PVE comes out
lol
Me
(It has been 96 years since they announced overwatch 2 pve)
I do not die
I'm not hero
hopefully they won’t get punched
Wish for more animal-hybrid heroes, like jet-pack cat or something cause they do exist in the lore. But not sure players would enjoy blasting a cat or dog in the face with a shotgun or solo shatter 
You kidding me? I’d love to solo ult nuke a dog hero
I think that’s why they wouldn’t lmao
I want a bear
Or a bird like hero, with flapping wings
If we can have Japanese heroes call upon Yokai to assist them, then give me a hero who calls on a bear spirit
Or just be a bear
Or a lycanthrope of some kind that would fit within the overwatch universe
I still want the Velociraptor hero concept someone made
we're not going to get any more animal heroes
What is that supposed to do with anything
That was lore
!!shitposting @white kernel
@white kernel Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
How is it "scary" exactly?
That she can speed up time
For herself and not others
uh huuh
because intelligent animals are not really a thing that exists in the world outside of the Horizon Lunar Colony, and it's very unlikely we'll get a third Horizon hero
Shut up
You’re completely right tho

rude
Even Hammond is pushing it
Can you tone down the hostility a notch or five
Well you'd better
gekko dupe
Or else no more animal heroes?
Jet pack cat should be next legend
Having animal heroes has nothing to do with what any of us do in this channel
But if you keep being antagonistic you will be muted
We don't need else animal heroes
Best I can do is an emote and maybe an ability in pve
I want a lycanthrope hero
That can get you around the animal thing
Ya notice each hero has a connection with someone else
Those are even less likely to exist
Why
closest you'd get is a human spliced with animal genes, but they wouldn't be full on werewolf
They can absolutely exist
Or knows that person specifically
Yeah but not full on, still close in concept though
Like lifeweaver has a connection with sym
And baptiste 😏
Pride
Not canonically, at least not yet
probably a mid event, skins better be good
Or else most won’t care
😭
Fr
Solider having a gay pride skin
They’ll probably do an slapdash recolor of the ow2 default skins for tracer, soldier, etc. unfortunately it will be the progress flag which is a bad flag design
Fr Amen
The new mystic skin?
Rainbow trail mystic skin
If the new character is jet pack cat I think they’ll have a connection with Winston Hammond and Brigitte
Well it's not going to be
and even then, we know what connections jet pack cat has
It's brig and torb
updated the relationship web for Lifeweaver
It has nothing to do with the Horizon animals
I Said if
and I said even if that, it's not going to be those connections
Mercy and genji in love????
shouldn't kiriko be enemies wth hashimoto
seeing how the yokai gang sank their shit
oh yeah I should add that
I should also shift Cassidy and Genji around so that the line connecting Cassidy to Blackwatch doesn't go through Genji
We might get something from Helix in the future
I'd like to see Helix as one of the enemy factions in the PvE
Fr
When is PVE coming out
since we'll need someone to fight if we get Talon missions
They lying to us
2023
the best guess we have now is blizzcon 2023 but its only a guess
SO TRUE
You need to wait again
Would the reason why there isn’t a friend link between Sigma and Sombra be because their interactions aren’t canon or because it would clutter the web?
Aren’t they not friends though, talon is using sigma not befriending him on righteous terms
I could probably move Sigma to fit that in
I just didn't think of it
Oh, so their friendship is canon? I thought it would be as it seems Sombra is the only talon member that isn’t interested in using Sigma.
it has only been shown in the voice lines, but I like to believe it's canon
It would make sense tho, as Sombra would probably be able to relate to Sigma in some way and probably not like how the other members are treating him.
voice lines are hypothetical, based on the characters personalities, so it's plausible
why is brigitte family to rein
Rein is her godfather
interesting statement
any of you guys want a comic about relationships
like Lena and her girlfriend
and maybe mercy and genji
no
just keep it in regular stories like Reflections and London Calling
nah its a good question to ask
just imo they shouldnt make any comics directly towards a relationship
I like how they did it with Tracer, just a side thing with no overall focus on it
Do you think sigmas apparent dementia is due to the experiment or just old age
it's brain damage caused by the accident
Winston
both of the hardlight/bio-light users have the best potential
sym story will probably reveal a lot about their powers
ooo
Wait soldier is actually straight. He revealed he lied
!!shitposting @austere lodge
@austere lodge Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
this isn't the place for headcanon
What channel is
idk
: (
oh look! theres an ant on the cieling!
What do you think will happen with Ramattra. Will he be defeated/killed? Jailed? Join forces with Overwatch? Could Zenyatta talk him down?
is this the right place to wonder
I think Ramattra would be jailed, he isn’t going to die.
In my view, he doesn't care about being in prison, as long as he sees that the world is evolving as he wants it to, that's what matters to him, he's not fighting for himself.
I really don’t want him to die, it wouldn’t make sense.
right, i do agree. i'd rather he not die either, so i just cant help but wonder what other options there are for him, and i can't wait to see it all go down 😅
i'll be in my 40's with kids by time we get to that point of the story though smh
especially at the pace we're going
Perhaps 
i wonder if any of the playable characters we have are projected to die in the story. think it'd bee too much of a miracle of none of 'em do
I think Reinhardt could die yes
that's a good bet
That is... something I would like to see, actually. Shock factor is something I love to see in a game.
same
i think later voice line interactions in pvp would be interesting too, if one of the characters was technically deceased.
An original idea, I love it.
Yes 
i'd probably argue its symmetra
its kinda hard to compare i think. the "smart" characters are sorta in different fields
I think she’s in the better side compared to how some other ow2 characters got done
Winston
I think Moiras just gotten further because she isn’t held back by ethics
sigma is the smartest bro learned how to use a black hole
we don't know what treasure junkrat hold aswell
Smartest isn't really comparable, because once again, different fields
Soldier and Doomfist are likely the best strategists
Sigma, Mercy and Moira the top academics
Winston, Torb and Lifeweaver are brilliant inventors
and then there's Echo
I think he'll be captured by Overwatch and will be convinced to join them by Zenyatta, as the two of them do still share a close bond
Ain’t no way Ramattra’s joining Overwatch
I'm pretty sure he'd rather die than join up or be imprisoned
tho I doubt they'd kill him off
WHAT
for real
he'd rather become an air fryer
there is no way he's joining overwatch
Hammond
I don’t think zen can convince ram to join overwatch
Yeah so was reyes and Cassidy and Genji came from an empire of criminals and Moira is extremely unethical with her experiments and Lucio stole the tech he has and Ana is a world renowned sniper (has killed just as many people as she’s saved) and that list goes on
Yeah but i have doubts.
No yeah, I just think “he’s a criminal” isn’t exactly the best reasoning just considering most of the roster has committed crime of some sort 😂
I agree that, for the moment, Ramattra would rather suffer as he has before joining overwatch
Cassidy and Genji were each given the option to either stay crippled for the rest of their life (Genji) or rot in jail (Cassidy)
I don’t think they have anything like that on Ram
But I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an unlikely/brief alliance between null sector and OW against talon much later down the line
But Ram joining OW doesn’t seem likely
I see it as a likely possiblity considering Overwatch has Zenyatta, who is probably the only person capable of talking with Ramattra in getting him to either join overwatch or help them take down talon
and we know Ram wouldn't hurt Zenyatta in either case
I am big Rammatra fan, but
Even if Rammatra changed his stance on Over-Watch and came to see his position as wrong, his incursion on London is seen as a terrorist attack, and he started a new Global war. Even if the wider world never learned he was the leader of Null-Sector, I couldn't see most of the team-members vibing with his presence very well. And having him in the organization would lead to a lot of questions and be easily exploited by Talon
The story path I see Rammatra going on, if Null Sector is rendered defunct by the end of its story, is he goes off on his own once again with new purpose, perhaps reunite with his former Omnic friends
That would be nice
Really excited to see how much the playable Rammattra differs from boss fight Rammattra that will probably happen in pve
the problem I see with this is Genji was literally a part of a criminal organization known for their bad deeds, and Overwatch gladly took him in for exchange with his help, and he was able to reform into a much better person. the whole Idea of this whole 'oh bad guys can't join overwatch' is pretty messy since most overwatch members have a previous history of criminal activity, and on-top of that Ram is the closest with Zenyatta who is expected to join overwatch
yeah but Genji has a history of not being involved with his family and his injuries came literally because of it
I don’t think Zenyatta will actually join Overwatch but I can see him helping them out. He’s a pretty neutral character
Same goes for Ramattra
I believe Zenyatta is probably going to join overwatch at some point
correction
Reyes took him in, to be a weapon for Blackwatch
his criminal background was an asset to Blackwatch
thanks lore warlord doctor_six
also with new Overwatch trying to have a better public image than old Overwatch, recruiting the mastermind behind the second omnic crisis would not be a good look
Cassidy also doesn't have the best look in terms of overwatch tbf, It's not out of the realm of possibility
Cassidy isn't as bad
- don’t they already have experience working with Cassidy
taking Ram in would be much more of a risk
yeah
how do Lucio and Orisa/Efi know each other?
they met in Hero of Numbani
Efi was going to Lucio's concert when the airport was attacked by Doomfist, then later Lucio comes to Numbani for another concert (which Doomfist crashes)
Efi, Orisa and Lucio fight him off and force him to retreat
probably
Lucio has already joined I believe
what do you mean?
joins in the PvE, so no, not yet
what command ship?
probably dropped troops and left
That's weird 
or the writers didn't think about it
If Rammatra can land a helicarrier in a major city, Null Sector must have really good air superiority
Because that is one massive target
No overwatch universe just doesnt make sense

Well, it might depend. Surely these ships are limited in nunber
Where’s this from
It's from the pve demo a few years ago
HUH, can you still play that demo?
I highly doubt it
nope
It was a demo from 2019
and it was only playable at Blizzcon
Mostly to test features that may no longer be used in the story
To be honest, that whole container of add on stuff was too Fortnite in my opinion but whatever
Back on track, I'd imagine Ramattra only has a limited number of command ship to send to cities
Hence why only one at a time can be sent to designated cities around the world
I only wondered where the ship was in Zero Hour
Probably dropped troops before along the way to it's destination
Which countries surround France with known maps in game?
Oh, lame
black forest is in germany i think
eichnwalde too
✨ ray shields ✨
yes it is
rialto
Hmm. There are other countries surrounding France
yeah id bet
Such maps close to France include Gothanburg and Portugal in Europe
We do know Null Sector attacks Torb's hometown
Well, if all these ships came from Antarctica
They'd probably fly North for the most part
Which would put one that was present in Paris, France on a clear path towards Gothenburg Sweden
Sup, what we talkin bout?
They're flying factories. They don't need to resupply as far as we see and the invasion just started
You can't imagine these ships aren't going to drop some forces as they fly over random cities on their path
What would mauga gameplay be like
Althoygh, there is another possibility Ramattra could've planted units within cities too
they scrapped his gameplay planned for him and recycled and put it into another character so he won’t be a poke tank
he probably won’t be a dive tank
hed be a heavy brawl character probably
idk any of the lore does someone have a video that explains it or something

Overwatch is a vibrant team-based shooter set on a near-future earth. Every match is an intense 6v6 battle between a cast of unique heroes, each with their own incredible powers and abilities. Clash in over 20 maps from across the globe, and switch heroes on the fly to adapt to the ever-changing situation on the field.
I would think Mauga would play like rein or orisa
Gothenburg is also not exactly close to Paris
I said close to France. The country and Gothenburg, Sweden isn't that far from it
Hes a terrorist
Akande is an international terrorist leader of Talon
Same reason people don’t like reaper widow sombra
Wrong channel
My b
But yeah, Talon is a known terrorist org
Makes you wonder if Doom has spies in the shadows besides Sombra
On top of that, his personal crimes revolve solely around Numbani
Sigma is only really known to Talon as far as we know
I think I've hears about widow's background
Because he’s… not all there to say the least
It's kinda sad
But his mind isn't completely there. It's possible he's not completely conscious of his own actions sometimes
Don’t act like she can be saved btw
Widow is with Talon cause she wants to be
It’s what allows her to feel the most alive
She ain’t some brainwashed prisoner
Nope
She's more like a sleeper agent that woke up
I see I see
She was tasked with killing her husband as was her mission
But now she's apart of Talon as one of their top assassins
Doesn't Ana almost kill her or smth
No
Oh
Ana could not pull the trigger on someone she knew
She responded by shooting out Ana’s eye
Ohhhhh
Thought for sure be fired the shot
Well whatever the case, Ana wound up with one less eye that day
She did until finding out who was shooting
She made a fatal mistake of hesitating that almost cost her her own life
As one funky Japanese man who crawled out of another man said: “Hesitation is defeat”
Why are there so many groups in the lore 😭
