Minus 8 minutes

ivory garnet
#

characters term for overwatch is heroes, so thats all characters

rare trail
#

in the 36 characters some of those are villains

tough charm
#

So like 1.4 minutes

hasty walrus

Genuine question I have not checked out Disney plus in like ever

yeah

“Angela? Yeah. About as long as I’ve known Cole,” she said, looking a bit
wistful again.
There was something about the way she said her name—not Dr. Ziegler, but
Angela—that touched him. “I worked with her once, in Venezuela,” he began. “I was
tracking her when I ran into Cole. Last known location was Cairo, but by the time I
got there, well . . . I’m sure you saw the news about Paris.”
“I did.” A slight smile crossed her face. “But I spent some time with her in
Cairo too.”
Baptiste raised an eyebrow. “Does she know you’re headed to Gibraltar?”
“No. But she didn’t tell me she was joining the team in Paris either, so I guess
we’re both full of surprises.” Pharah looked down, and Baptiste struggled to read her.
Was that disappointment?
“Were you hoping for more?”
Pharah lifted her gaze to meet his. “What do you mean?”
“Were you expecting her to say goodbye?”
Pharah looked away again, deep in thought. “No,” she said eventually. “I
guess not.”```

their marvel shows are good

tough charm
#

I mean Netflix cancels animation shows

ivory garnet
#

Arcane

#

Netflix or HBO would be the best bet for an Overwatch show

peak escarp
#

the way Pharah reacts when talking about Mercy implies that their relationship is complicated, possibly one-sided

ivory garnet

#

Amazon would be a good choice regarding to the animation similarities between the Doomfist origin story and Invincible

Arcane was probably my favorite (only) video game spin off

Riot was the sole creators for Arcane essentially cuz fuck Netflix, Netflix just streamed it i believe

ivory garnet

still a streaming platform

fathom canyon

true

Me waiting for the pharmercy wiki to switch to semi-canon l_blueblush

ivory garnet
#

pharmercy is unlikely to be canon

#

as Doctor Six just said

hasty walrus
#

...A24
Or is that just hbo

rare trail
#

and the short story is pretty vague

ivory garnet
#

is possibly one sided

rare trail
#

genji mercy is also pretty likely

#

and mercy didnt get a pride card right?

ivory garnet
ivory garnet
#

only Bap, Tracer, Pharah, LW, and Soldier did

hasty walrus
#

Mercy is straight :( terrible day /j

rare trail
#

are the pride cards in game yet?

ivory garnet
#

nope

karmic turret
ivory garnet
#

not until next update

peak escarp
#

so it's unlikely any of the other 32 heroes are LGBTQ+

Alyssa Wong said she wrote Baptiste/Mauga as not entirely platonic, and we know Mauga is going to be playable at some stage. So maybe we can say we actually will have at least 6 LGBT heroes in the future

i think i prefer all lore taking place in the present day now

ivory garnet

expanding the story going forward rather than keeping going back

#

and having the small lore videos when new heroes release

peak escarp
#

only about 6-7 things are set in the past

ivory garnet

New Blood, London Calling, this new short story, eyc

#

etc

ivory garnet

London Calling is present day

merry token

it's during Recall

I remember

#

What about starwatch

ivory garnet

#

widowtracer is cringe

fathom canyon
#

star watch is pure AU

peak escarp
tough charm
#

Starwatch is a setup to the Overwatch multiverse

peak escarp

because the OW2 story hasn't started yet

ivory garnet
#

I meant Zero Hour *

#

this is the present day timeline

karmic turret

i count present day as the time between recall and newblood

They’re obviously joking

they werent

#

alot of the casual community is like this lol

wary sable
#

As a respresentative of the casual community we do not actually think reaper is a zest fest

zest fest?

Zesty is slang for fruity which is slang for gay

So just gay

oh

Reaper had a wife and son

what’s more likely at this point gency or pharmercy all I need to know

PHARMERCY

That’s my preference tho

Pharah has a crush on mercy, but the other way around if not confirmed

Ok

just seems 1 sided

and Mercy didnt get a card

so

quiet rune

#

I like pharah but

merry token
#

As someone in the overwatch chat said, the hopeful ending would have been mercy being aromantic because of the in-game edaters

#

😔

be stupid if the game bases Mercy off of edaters

# wooden dome why is sombra like working against talon but at the same time not

Sombra is a complex character and her motives are not always clear. However, it is important to note that Sombra has worked with Talon in the past, but also has a tendency to act independently and pursue her own agenda. It is possible that Sombra sees working against Talon as a means to further her own interests or gain more power within the organization. Additionally, there may be certain aspects of Talon's goals or methods that Sombra disagrees with, leading her to work against them at times. Ultimately Sombra's loyalties and motivations are constantly shifting, making her a fascinating and unpredictable character

quiet rune
ivory garnet
#

her motives are very clear

quiet rune
#

And was a while off

ivory garnet
#

she wants information

inner carbon

And I want more information about PvE 😭😭

At least the toxicity on PvE finally died down

Honestly wasn't all that hyped for talent trees anyway

#

Will miss the hero missions not being included, but hey

#

I play for the story

quiet rune
quiet rune
past copper
#

Eh. I think it would have been a bad idea to have those in PvP

#

Hero missions were gonna be more or less PvE custom missions

#

I think

quiet rune
quiet rune
#

Like the new custom hero training ranges?

past copper
#

Pretty sure hero missions would've all been co-op

peak escarp
#

Hero Missions were planned to be 4 person PvE missons on random maps with random objectives

past copper
#

Tho, kinda think some could've possibly been used to expand on the OW universe

inner carbon
#

PvE will drop with overwatch 3

peak escarp
#

things like

  • escort the payload
  • capture/hold the objective for X minutes
  • retrieve the canisters
  • escape the area (aka wall of death - get from one end of the map to the other while being chased by a wall of death and having to fight enemies)
  • kill X enemies/survive X waves

Where u use ur skill trees?

#

yes

quiet rune
#

Ah damn

past copper
#

Still say that wall of death would not have been fun

#

Sound too close to Fortnite for my taste

peak escarp
#

I was excited for it

#

something different than any of the modes we currently have

quiet rune
past copper
#

Eh. I say don't give up hope

peak escarp
#

they might use it in story missions

past copper
#

I like to think the PvE for hero missions are just shelfed for later

quiet rune
#

🤞

past copper
#

I think the only thing close to wall of death would've been those drones dropping gas canisters

#

Don't know if those will still appear or not

#

Still I think the story missions will work out

#

Heck that Rio demo was kinda like 6CP in on itself

austere agate
#

what will hero mastery be

peak escarp
#

like a time trial for each hero

past copper
#

Honestly just sounds like training to me

peak escarp
#

with leaderboards so you can flex on your friends

past copper
#

But probably with better targets that actually fight back

quiet rune
past copper
#

I meant training like that map you can go to with target bots wanting around

#

In the new one, the bots would actually fight back to give you a challenge

ivory garnet
#

basically aimlabs, but hero specified

peak escarp
#

I'm imagining something like the single player mode of Smash Bros, where you fight through a gauntlet of enemies and have to use your hero's abilities to clear objectives/solve puzzles

ivory garnet
#

there might be a reward for it? we’ll probably know once they expand on it more

past copper
#

Honestly, based on the pic we got, it reminds me of the clone trooper training field from Star Wars

ivory garnet
#

reminds me of the character training in Marvels Avengers lolll

peak escarp
#

yeah, you've got the idea

past copper
#

Looks like shielded areas, separate paths, barriers, and possibly floor traps

#

Still, I see how it better than the current training area

#

More environmental training and better target practice

#

Or as a wise hero would say "you need aim training"

austere agate
#

since this newly formed overwatch is meeting at gibraltar , this will be the first time a lot of the characters meet right?

peak escarp
#

some of them yeah

#

Zarya, Baptiste and D.Va will be meeting the Overwatch team for the first time

#

I hope we get to see their reaction to Winston

austere agate
#

lol

ivory garnet
#

yeah meeting a talking gorilla scientist would creep me out

#

but he has a very nice demeanor so

austere agate
#

he’s really like the nicest character in the verse

#

until you break his glasses

ivory garnet
#

either him or bastion I’d say

#

or reinhardt

modest mango
#

they already know about winston existing

#

it'd be weird to see him in-person but

austere agate
#

everyone from the paris mission would presumably be there too?

ivory garnet
#

yes

#

every active recalled overwatch agent

#
  • the new ones
#

though they should really try to make a new HQ

#

idk with what funds

#

but Talon knows where Gibraltar is

modest mango
#

eh blizzard would probably have made the spaceship the HQ if not Gibraltar

#

the dropship**

ivory garnet
#

yeah

its a mobile base

#

the Null Sector drop ships are huge

Bap was a traitor wasn't he?

he left Talon 4 years ago

After some thinking, wouldn't Talon be the good guys

peak escarp
#

why?

ivory garnet
#

good and bad is a morally subjective term

peak escarp
#

Talon are literally terrorists

ivory garnet
#

but Talon are bad people to the known

#

as Doctor Six said

#

they are terrorists

worn forge
#

but like, moiras motive ain't "that" evil

ivory garnet
#

its morally wrong

#

most of Talon is

#

same with Ramattra/Null Sector

limpid agate
#

Her motive doesnt matter

#

Talon is the bad guys

worn forge
#

well yeah, but she kinda wants to find a way for humanity to evolve

ivory garnet
#

Ramattra has an amazing vision, but he is doing it the wrong way

limpid agate
#

They are literally terrorists

#

They are literally starting a war to kill innocents because they are weak

ivory garnet

yeah

What were the black markings on her forehead btw?

ivory garnet
#

black markings?

The triangles

peak escarp
#

just decorations

probably implants

i’d guess decor since they arent on her ow2 design

do we know what her eye cover is?

what its for^^

it hasn't been addressed

ig we'll never know

Oh yea another I wanted to ask is if ow2 is a time skip?

peak escarp
#

yes

inner carbon
#

After seeing how everyone got new outfits (except for echo)

peak escarp
#

we don't know how much though

#

seems like a couple years

dusk trench
#

Gay skins would be fire🔥🔥

ivory garnet
#

like recolors?

peak escarp
#

what would gay skins look like?

inner carbon
ivory garnet
#

im assuming just a recoloring of their sexuality

#

like the rare skins

dusk trench
#

Imagine a rainbow bastion mowing down a team

ivory garnet
#

does rainbow mean ally?

dusk trench
#

I dunno it would just be funny

#

Ally is like

#

black white and rainbow

ivory garnet
#

oh okay

#

of characters were to get lgbtq skins, I’d assume its the people that are confirmed, and they have a recolor with their sexuality colors

#

though I dont tbink that’ll happen

#

as we know alot of what we are getting

dusk trench
#

There’s a bunch of non-canon attributes in some hero skins

#

I don’t think giving a skin referring to a pride flag would reflect off their preferences or canon appearance

limpid agate
#

They're not doing skins

#

Sometimes I'm wondering how did their home agents let D.Va and Zarya go join Overwatch so easily

#

It's briefly touched on the New Blood comics but

peak escarp
#

we see D.Va's commanding officer allow her to go with Overwatch in New Blood

torn ember
#

doesn't make sense to let go one of their best pilot, with their own asset, to join Overwatch when Korea is in unstable state against Gwishin

peak escarp
ivory garnet
#

its for MEKA in the end goal

#

because they want allies and more sources

#

for defending against the gwyshin

peak escarp
#

D.Va is just one person

#

they still have the rest of MEKA

torn ember
torn ember
ivory garnet
#

correct

peak escarp
#

Gwishin are a kind of omnic

ivory garnet
#

they arent null sector ^^

peak escarp
#

they have their own undersea omnium

torn ember
#

Hoping to see more MEKA joins the game

#

Overlord particularly

#

Though I can see Daehyun joining D.Va's Overwatch adventures

peak escarp
#

he might come with her to help maintain her mech

#

but I doubt he'll ever be a hero

torn ember
#

even if he does become a hero, I feel like he will be Support

#

like Brigitte to Reinhardt

#

I'm so excited to see the New Blood team and Paris team meeting each other

#

but something doesn't really add up based on the previews they've shown us

peak escarp
#

what

torn ember
#

Hmm I can't post images here

peak escarp
#

send a link

torn ember
#

in the new short story, the New Blood team is heading to Gibraltar to meet up with Paris team

#

Time stamped it

peak escarp
#

they could meet up in Gibraltar, then go together to Canada to meet Sojourn

#

arriving in two separate aircraft

torn ember
peak escarp
torn ember
#

probably they went back to Gibraltar together

peak escarp
#

Reinhardt was with Winston's group in Zero Hour

torn ember
#

All these teasers are making me wanting more lores 😭

#

The other interesting plot is when Talon team was seemingly cornering Zenyatta, with Genji defending his master in India

peak escarp
#

only 2.5 more months to wait

torn ember
#

also if the new story is going to be focusing on the New Overwatch Team, I wonder what will Soldier 79, Ana and Reaper's story be

austere agate
#

reapers gonna try and destroy Gibraltar like he says in that one voice line

#

I predict

silent linden
peak escarp
#

I'll take one mission per season

ivory garnet
#

same

wanton wedge
#

Respectfully, I love Tracer and Soldier, including Pharah and Bap but c'mon.. If I'm not wrong, before they changed something in Soldier's backstory, he was originally married to a woman right?

peak escarp
#

nope

#

he was never married

austere agate
wanton wedge
#

I thought he was married to a woman? There was a picture with him and a woman before it was swapped. ??

peak escarp
#

the only thing that indicated any kind of relationship was this image from Reflections

#

which is of Soldier and an unidentified person

cedar stump
#

it’s soldier and victor

#

his ex boyfriend

peak escarp
#

in Bastet, we get a clearer version of the image, and it's Jack and his boyfriend Vincent

#

yes the art is different

cedar stump
#

VINCENT?

ivory garnet
#

yeah

cedar stump
#

god damn it

idle finch
#

Bro said victor

#

🥶🥶

ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

but there was never any clarification on who the person in the image was or what their gender was

cedar stump
#

look v starting names are hard

#

who names their child Victoria

idle finch
#

Fair and real

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
#

hm

cedar stump
#

vicky 🤮

ivory garnet
#

he never has been with a girl as far as we know

peak escarp
#

in the same comic, we saw Reaper creeping on a family - they were unknown at the time, but it was later revealed that the woman was his wife Martina and the boy is their son

austere agate
#

kinda sad picture lol

ivory garnet
#

very

idle finch
#

new guy looks like he works at a truck stop

ivory garnet
#

lmao

cedar stump
#

lmao 😭😭🤣🤣 wife dumped his loser ass

ivory garnet
#

his wife thinks he is dead

peak escarp
austere agate
#

lmao

wanton wedge
#

Let me see if my mom can find a picture of what I'm talking about because she's played OW since 2016.

cedar stump
#

yeah ikik

cedar stump
#

based on that one widow-reaper voiceline I feel like she would dump him anyways

peak escarp
#

I have also played since 2016

idle finch
#

I started 2017

wanton wedge
#

My mom said "It's a framed picture on a desk or table or something"

ivory garnet
#

during the comic with Tracer vs Genji?

wanton wedge
# idle finch My condolences

🤣 If it wasn't for this woman, I'd be living in an abusive home but she's given me more attention than she's given OW.

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
#

we see soldier’s desk in the comic Uprising

peak escarp
#

was it this?

cedar stump
# ivory garnet ?

Widowmaker: Are you ever tempted to contact your wife?
Reaper: No.
Widowmaker: Afraid she would try to kill you?
Reaper: I'd be surprised if she didn't.

ivory garnet
#

it would probably be due to him being a terrorist and that he never spoke out to her

#

letting her know he is okay…..somewhat?

stuck stump
#

is reaper 100% evil

peak escarp
#

Martina would want to kill him for letting her think he was dead

ivory garnet
#

cedar stump
#

I have complicated feelings on reaper’s writing

merry token
#

He is also in constant pain

ivory garnet
#

i love his writing

cedar stump
#

i just don’t see how reyes turned into reaper

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
silent linden
#

So did you guys read the new story blizzard released

ivory garnet
#

yeah

peak escarp
#

the short version is, Moira did it

silent linden
#

What do you guys think?

ivory garnet
#

and it was a spiral of stuff to make him Reaper

cedar stump
#

i thought he was Cassidy’s mentor of sorts?? or like, a decent and well liked blackwatch head

ivory garnet
#

his life spiraled downwards

cedar stump
#

how do you go from that to straight out wanting to murder these people

peak escarp
ivory garnet
#

because he feels like they betrayed him

#

and he mainly wants to kill Soldier

wanton wedge
#

@peak escarp She said no to the one of Reaper, Soldier 76 and Ana.

cedar stump
#

not the physical part, clear on that talking about emotionally changing

peak escarp
ivory garnet
#

his life spiraled downward

silent linden
#

Personally I'm just tired that it been 6 years and we still at overwatch reunion mode

peak escarp
#

they are starting to move the story foreward

ivory garnet
#

yeah

silent linden
#

Like the story hasn't move on at all and Blizzard decided to release story focus around reunion phase again.

peak escarp
#

the real story starts in Season 6 when we get Story missions

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
peak escarp
#

your mother is remembering wrong

silent linden
ivory garnet
#

well yeah, they cant just skip years ahead

#

we’re in the middle of a Null Sector attack

silent linden
#

Who is current overwatch story director

#

Or we just don't have one

peak escarp
ivory garnet
#

Gavin is nice

#

I like him

peak escarp
#

here's the current timeline and all the relevant stories

#

the new short story fits after New Blood

ivory garnet
#

Isnt it inbetween Volume 4-5?

#

or is after the 5th

peak escarp
#

after the 5th

ivory garnet
#

ah okay

peak escarp
#

they're on their way to Gibraltar

wanton wedge
peak escarp
#

she's wrong

ivory garnet
#

she might be, in all respect

#

Ive never remembered Soldier being in a photo with a girl that isnt Ana, Pharah, Soj, or Mercy

wanton wedge
#

Maybe I'm delusional too because I could have sworn I saw him with a woman- may have mistakened the man for a woman..

peak escarp
#

some people did think the image in Reflections was Soldier and a woman, but the writer confirmed on twitter that it was not

wanton wedge
#

So then a bunch of us are just delusional.

peak escarp
#

yep

#

just like the people that thought Mercy made Reaper

wanton wedge
#

💀 Ain't no way people thought that?

peak escarp
#

they thought there was a voice line between them that confirmed it

ivory garnet
#

people thought of it because they wanted a crazed scientist

wanton wedge
#

Last I checked Mercy isn't an Irish Scientist who's most likely a sadistic person.

peak escarp
#

something like...
Mercy: This isn't want I intended for you.
Reaper: You knew exactly what you were doing.

#

which never existed

wanton wedge
#

Correction, most likely were not the words. Is was the correct word.

ivory garnet
#

the one voiceline they share is

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

wanton wedge
#

It shows that even though what Reyes is doing is wrong, Mercy still cares. :>

silent linden
#

Mercy reaper ship intensified

I will leave

ivory garnet
#

ofcourse she would

peak escarp
#

they have had other interactions in the past, but none implied that Mercy was responsible for Reaper's condition

ivory garnet
#

Doctors will ALWAYS take care of someone, no matter their status

#

they will quite literally save someones life, even if they’re being put on death row

peak escarp
#

and then we got Moira, and that settled it

wanton wedge
#

Mercy was responsible for "creating" Genji tho.

ivory garnet
#

her and moira I believe

#

might be wrong on that one

wanton wedge
peak escarp
#

Moira wasn't involved in Genji's body

silent linden
peak escarp
#

Moira did work on Widowmaker though

ivory garnet
#

without all that metal

peak escarp
#

yeah

ivory garnet
#

okay yeah

#

then I was mistaken

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
#

its just work

peak escarp
#

genetic work

ivory garnet
#

all the fan art u see is fake lol

peak escarp
#

Moira is too sophisticated for torture

ivory garnet
#

they never tortured Widowmaker

#

in our knowledge^

wanton wedge
#

💀 Wait really? I thought the one of her slouched in a chair and looking at a picture of her and her husband (who's name I always forget but I think it's Gerard) was real.. is that fanart?

peak escarp
#

they did break her will to turn her into a sleeper agent

ivory garnet
#

thats a VERY popular fanart tiktok users use

wanton wedge
#

😭Noooo! I thought it was reaaaaalll

#

Well, apart from that, I do look forward to more interactions between Ashe and Life Weaver.

ivory garnet
#

Ashe and Life Weaver?

silk frost
#

who’s the person in the photo with soldier in the reflections comic?

ivory garnet
#

Ana

peak escarp
#

Vincent

ivory garnet
#

I think they meant next to Soldier

#

might be wrong tho

silk frost
#

no no I meant the picture he’s looking at

wanton wedge
ivory garnet
#

then yeah Vincent

silk frost
#

interesting though, first time I hear of this Vincent character

ivory garnet
#

been in lore for a while

peak escarp

# ivory garnet Ashe and Life Weaver?

Ashe: I hear if it weren't for your parents, you'd be as much of an outlaw as me.
Life Weaver: They're always trying to help, but frankly, I'd prefer they gave up.
Ashe: ...Puh, Yeah..? Well.. Be careful for what you wish for.

#

Ashe on one hand has been given up on (still wanting to fight her parents and Cassidy for that) and Life Weaver on the other hand has had people there for him his whole life. It's a sad dynamic between these two.

#

I do find Life Weavers voice line funny when he says "Time to disappoint my mother again". 🤣 Relate to it too much!

austere jasper
#

so is soldier 76 gay?

ivory garnet
#

yes

#

has been for a while

idle finch
#

ye

austere jasper
#

for how long

ivory garnet
#

all of overwatch

austere jasper
#

cool

merry token
#

OOP wrong channel

ivory garnet
#

😭

austere agate
#

so soldier was a super soldier right, and like the 76th one?

silk frost
peak escarp
#

I don't think they're there together

#

Sombra lives in Dorado, and Cassidy is passed out at the other end of the bar

silk frost
#

so they just happen to be at the same bar then?

#

i wondered if sombra maybe had some ulterior motive

peak escarp
#

probably

#

Sombra would definitely know who he is

silk frost
#

‘Joel’ 😂

iron nest
#

Can someone help me find feats for D.VA for powerscaling

ivory garnet
#

she isnt powerful

iron nest
#

Ik but I still wanna scale her for a YouTube video

limpid agate
#

For her mech, her only lore appearances are in Shooting Star and the final issue of New Blood

#

For pilot, she has no feats but she does have military training

#

The Gwisin in Shooting Star are incomparable to other omnics we've seen, and New Blood is

Her only lore appearances are in Shooting Star and the final issue of New Blood

She's technically also a cameo in Tracer Reflections

#

But every hero is

scarlet apex
#

dawg did they confirm pharmercy

#

say it isn't so

wind wind
#

no

wind wind
#

but for pharah and mercy it looks like its one sided

scarlet apex
#

oh so like pharah has a one sided crush

#

that's ok then lmao

prisma shale
#

what did bro do 😦

worthy rose
#

They’re definitely never gonna confirm any mercy ship other than genjimercy

golden oak
#

They confirmed pharah being a lesbian

#

Nothing about mercy so far

queen sierra
#

In [NEW HERO] Ana Origin Story | Overwatch video, at 0:50 is that genji? at the most left and on the most right is that Sojourn? Even tho she hasnt been added in the game by then

keen summit
#

like a whole lot

#

genji isnt in the pic

#

the guy on the left we dont know who it is, not genji tho

#

doomfist was known about since the first trailer

#

and was like released roughly a year and a half after the game dropped

#

many more examples exist

fleet shore
queen sierra
#

I also just find out that Soldier 76 is gay

fleet shore
#

only now?

queen sierra
#

Yeah

#

The only heroes that i know by their sexualities is Pharah, Baptiste, Lifeweaver and Sym

hollow tinsel
#

Sym?

queen sierra
#

Yeah

idle finch
#

syms straight

queen sierra
#

Im pretty sure she is pan

idle finch

lifeweaver is

#

tracers a lesbian

#

syms autistic but shes not lgbt

Find the person that voices Sym and ask her

it does, blizz said so

#

they said before lw next two heroes would be cute

hasty socket
#

cat girl ?

worthy rose
#

ew

#

the next character should be someone in the lore cuz a lot of the recent characters are new

merry mason
#

It won’t be

keen summit
#

ahem

#

rama, kiriko, jq, soj?

#
  • we know it isnt cuz next hero is from peru and no established lore character is from peru
neat elbow
#

into the lore

quiet rune
#

they will probably be like brig was origionally

keen summit
quiet rune
#

armor-centric

quiet rune
keen summit
#

like all of them

quiet rune
#

damn

keen summit
#

since last year

quiet rune
#

I didnt know that

keen summit
#

till after s8 no meka

quiet rune
#

people have been theorising anyways

keen summit
#
  • the next hero is from peru
quiet rune
#

yea that too but yk

keen summit
#

so its probs s6 peru support who is "cute", s8 mauga tank and then welllllll

#

s10, s12 etc all are anything goes

quiet rune
#

he was shown supporting the other MEKKA members in the newest comic series

keen summit
#

but yea

quiet rune
#

Ye

keen summit
#

however we knew since interview june last year

#

they said they were working on hero from s8 and that there were no current plans for meka

quiet rune
#

He was healing/reparing the other MEKKAs
maybe in s12

keen summit
#

they WOULD like to add em tho

quiet rune
#

s10 will prob be a dps

keen summit
#

hoping for Kace

quiet rune
#

season, -1, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 all being non dps and all

#

(1- being JQ)

keen summit
#

cuz dps is least interesting for new heroes in most people's eyes

quiet rune
#

huh

#

i dont really think that... but I guess I can see why

keen summit
quiet rune
#

plot twist. in season 10 they are going to remove 2 dps

quiet rune
keen summit
#

dps crusader is lets say insanely unlikely

#

from lore the ones who could fit there are mainly Sanjay (could fit any role) Kace (support or dps cuz smaller stature) Hamid (we know too little of him but possible)

quiet rune
#

I would guess sanjay to be a support, like how Sym origionally was

keen summit
#

sanjay could work with anything

quiet rune
#

How would he be tank?

keen summit
#

sanjay tank would be best imho cuz then you have hardlight tank, support and dps

keen summit
#

hardlight usage

#

like zarya is

#

sanjay could fit into any role

quiet rune
#

I guess

#

I would like to see him as support

keen summit
#

we already have LW

quiet rune
#

I dont really like the smaller stature tanks like Zarya tho

quiet rune
keen summit
#

have an exoskeleton like the ones russia have

quiet rune
#

IG

keen summit
#

make it built for best offensive use of hardlight etc

#

for support i mainly see Iggy, Kace or well also Sanjay

#

from lore

#

but only one of the three are considered cute, and iggy aint from peru

worthy rose
neat elbow
#

From tweets yes ?

worthy rose
#

“Overwatch 2 devs say they're “actively” discussing adding a transgender hero to the game either as a new character or a future rework.”

#

It takes long to make a character so it will probably be at least like a year if they do make a trans character

limpid agate
#

They're not gonna do it for a rework

#

It took them half a year to make Brig's shield expand

#

The amount of work you would need to put into a rework that makes a hero trans is greater than that of just making a new hero

#

Would be a bigger rework than Orisa

woeful stratus
#

?? I don’t think that would constitute a hero rework.

#

That’s a lore thing, not a gameplay thing.

limpid agate
#

And it would be a greater endeavour than a gameplay thing to change it for the game

woeful stratus
#

They’re likely going to make a future hero with their gender identity tied into their lore

limpid agate
#

Yes.

woeful stratus
#

But I doubt it would affect their in-game kit

#

Just like how the current lgbt heroes don’t have their identities tied into their kits

#

(Btw that short story was nice)

#

That or they’re discussing tying gender identity into the lore for either this next support or the future tank
