lore-discussion

[golden oak]

Yeah but for your whole team

[keen summit]

even better than nano, 3x faster ability cds

so u could get 2 or maybe 3? rezzes of if done right

[worthy rose]

When was this made?

[peak escarp]

around Blizzcon 2019

the only things to add to it are the New Blood comic and the new Sojourn short

[fresh rock]

Hey Doc! Do we know if the new hero is related to any other heroes in the game? Lore-wise.

[golden oak]

We’ll find out in her origin story probably

Only thing we got teasing her was the peru posters on Antarctic map

[spare veldt]

arent they removing the arctic maps?

i also saw something about removing reaper i didnt know if that was real or not

seemed kind of a long shot cause what about his skins and stuff

one can only be hopeful

[golden oak]

If it wasn’t on official blizzard site then doubt

[golden oak]

I doubt she’s somehow related to the Antarctic map tho

[peak escarp]

not yet

we haven't gotten her lore

[peak escarp]

they aren't removing any heroes or maps

even the 2cp maps are still in the game, and can be accessed through custom games

[twilit patrol]

No it's just a stupid prank.

[fresh rock]

Darn. Can't wait to read the lore surrounding this mysterious hero

[limpid agate]

They did remove 1 map, Talantis.

[hollow tinsel]

R.I.P.

[past copper]

Love the detailed change fr

[hollow tinsel]

Why did the original design have clothes on the upper torso 💀 it's a robot, it has nothing there 😭

[past copper]

They obviously thought about giving the omincs in Null Sector human appearances

But clearly decided against that to give them more monstrous looks

[paper ocean]

who is that?

[peak escarp]

it's the Stalker

a new enemy unit in the PvE

[hushed jetty]

wanted to make it more human looking i guess
to be fair at least from what we've seen in gameplay trailers and stuff, civilian omnics tend to wear clothes

zen does, the civilian omnics in the invasion trailer do, but orisa, echo, bastion (it's just a hat, bro is still naked), and maybe ram dont

also that one omnic that was dating the human in the widow cinematic was naked too i think

[fiery echo]

Orisa is like a centaur, maybe won't feel comfortable have cloths, Bastion don't think can have because transform in a turret. And Ram... somehow he have cloth, haven't he?

[hushed jetty]

ram has a cape and thats about it. does he wear pants?

[vital ocean]

his outfits do

[hushed jetty]

cant send images. crying rn
idk whether to consjder the cloth on his legs "pants"

not all outfits are canon

his monk skin is clothed but in current day bro just has cloth and a cape

[vital ocean]

i mean

does he need much else

[hushed jetty]

this is true but i just find it interesting how some omnics are clothed and others arent

like, zen wears pants. but echo is butt naked

[fiery echo]

I think the legs' design of Ram are like pants with a few ornaments

[peak escarp]

Echo and Bastion don't wear clothes

the other omnic heroes do

[hollow tinsel]

Rizz 😭

[vital ocean]

bastion hat

[peak escarp]

does a hat count as clothes?

if you wear nothing but a hat, you're still naked

[hollow tinsel]

Yeah lol

[hollow tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-image-perms-flex-image-flexx-gif-20201451

[hushed jetty]

and orisa

orisa cant really wear clothes but she is wearing a cloth that covers nothing in particular

[peak escarp]

that cloth gets her catcalled in the novel

[hushed jetty]

lmao????? i havent read the novel, hilarious if true

[peak escarp]

and Orisa insults them back

[hushed jetty]

now THIS is the lore i care about

[peak escarp]

Orisa is a sweetheart

[hushed jetty]

an omnic catcalling another omnic is so funny to me

[hollow tinsel]

There's a store in Numbani called sigma bot couture 💀

[peak escarp]

yes

the name is unrelated

[hollow tinsel]

Ok lol

[shadow marsh]

Yeah you can see the store in the game.

[hollow tinsel]

No way

I want to see it

😭

[vital ocean]

overwatch 3 biggest change: sigma shoes

[merry token]

He has some skins with them on lol

[cyan zodiac]

Winstonnnnnnn

[twilit patrol]

Winton

[worldly raptor]

Can someone explain sigmas purpose in the lore to me?

[limpid agate]

He doesnt have one right now

[mellow stratus]

Winton

[valid fossil]

Chicken butt

[worldly raptor]

Thank you

[valid fossil]

Banganana

[fringe elk]

Were omnics the same type as ram able to use annihilation?

[opaque tundra]

Annihilation is an ability that is not confirmed canon yet. It’s implied Ram invented his own technology or at least had Talon resources to make them, so probably not

[golden oak]

Mitzi has a headpiece on her just like Hammond and Winston
Is she modified too?

[hollow tinsel]

I think it's just armor

[golden oak]

For a cat?

[golden oak]

Why

[peak escarp]

because Brigitte wanted to be like papa and make armor

[wooden tendon]

Worst change ❌

[wooden tendon]

Mitzi deserves to be dripped out

[fringe elk]

Jetpack cat is also a character that got dropped

[fringe elk]

Thanks 😁

[upbeat basalt]

How did torbjorn rizz up ingrid? is she into short guys

[fringe elk]

Why you think he has the voice line - you should try my meatballs

[keen summit]

it was never supposed to be one

the idea came from a brig teaser with the joke of jetpack cat in the background

[upbeat basalt]

😳

[keen summit]

btw fun fact, they never added lw origin story to media on their site

[grand wedge]

There are a lot of media that are not on the official website, unfortunately…

[peak escarp]

this is why I keep my own list

[twilit patrol]

Really

[fresh rock]

Ooooh? 👀

[fiery echo]

People, I have a doubt. Tomorrow OW will be available on Steam, that means we have to login now on Steam or now will be 2 launchers (Steam and Battlenet)??

[worthy rose]

Hi everyone :]

[fiery echo]

Hello!

[lavish vessel]

2 launchers im pretty sure

[twilit patrol]

Hey and welcome

[worthy rose]

I wonder if the new story missions will include the older characters from OW lore..

[worthy rose]

Hi, thank you!!

[twilit patrol]

Yes

[worthy rose]

I’m hoping to see all of the characters from the old command team

[twilit patrol]

Hum

I doubt

[golden oak]

How did they explain dragon spirits before kiriko release?

[twilit patrol]

They never explained that

They just said it weren't magic

[peak escarp]

the writer was asked once in an obscure interview if the dragons were magic and he laughed and said no

[golden oak]

Bruh

[peak escarp]

aside from that, it was never addressed

in-game, Hanzo calls them "spirit dragons"

[golden oak]

Lifeweaver: I made a type of hard light that is alive!!

Genji and Hanzo: Am I a joke to you?

[twilit patrol]

Yeah

[peak escarp]

the dragons aren't really alive either

they're just spirits

[twilit patrol]

And I doubt foxs spirits aren't magic

[golden oak]

They’re animate tho

[hushed jetty]

blizzard just refuses to explain what the hell the dragons are

which is kinda based but also. please i am begging

[peak escarp]

it's not important to the story what they are

so I doubt they'll ever address it

[hushed jetty]

perhaps not, but its just one of those burning questions everyone would like Some kind of answer to

[twilit patrol]

Yeah but at least we could know if those stuffs are magic

[peak escarp]

I'd rather find out how Cassidy lost his arm

[hushed jetty]

that too

how many questions like that are Existent i wonder

[golden oak]

There will be Hanzo & kiriko story
Maybe they’ll talk about it

[hushed jetty]

ahhhh a shimada/kiriko short story would be nice

[twilit patrol]

How Kiriko could not be magic ?

[hushed jetty]

the ow team has said that there's no magic in that world

i have no damn idea what's up with the spirits but its not magic apaprently

[peak escarp]

either that was a lie or it was retconned

I choose to believe it was a lie

[hushed jetty]

lmao

[peak escarp]

because there's no satisfactory explanation for Hanzo/Genji's dragons as anything but magic

[hushed jetty]

actually no you're right, there has to be SOME kind of magic or spiritual powers bc of the dragons and the iris

[golden oak]

I guess if the iris can be a thing then spirits also

Maybe controlling a spirit is a human way of achieving gifts from the iris

[peak escarp]

the Iris isn't mystical though

[hushed jetty]

i dont think the iris has anything to do with the spirits

[golden oak]

Why not

[hushed jetty]

i think its more like a ? place? like a heaven/nirvana of sorts?

[peak escarp]

the Iris was the moment of connection between Aurora and all the omnics on earth

and I guess the yellow glowy hardlight mandala that we saw in Genesis

[golden oak]

Well who said it could only affect other omnics

[peak escarp]

?

[golden oak]

Just saying, it was an unknown phenomenon that could possibly affect human bodies also

[peak escarp]

how would it affect human bodies when it's something transmitted over a global computer network?

[twilit patrol]

That's strange

[peak escarp]

maybe if they're like Sojourn and have brain implants

but also it was a one-time thing

[golden oak]

Yeah so they had no possibility of checking what that actually did

[peak escarp]

the result was pretty immediate

omnics all over the world stopped fighting

[golden oak]

But it was very much experimental

[spare fox]

I used to theorize the Shimada dragons were hard light tech, related to their tattoos (tattoos are super important for yakuza)
But then Kiriko came out and I guess it's magic/spirits after all?

[golden oak]

Yeah, also I think the spirits are inherited in some way, since kiriko learned to communicate with the fox from her grandma and shimada brothers probably learned it from their parents

[twilit patrol]

Kiriko looks like magic yeah

She’s healing with papers

She teleports herself

We’ve never seen it in Overwatch lore

How could they explain ?

[golden oak]

She literally throws a bell at people, that’s what suzu is

[stuck stump]

Is dva putting on a persona when she's working

[peak escarp]

yes

[sly kettle]

just watched the new animated short with Sojourn

I cried

loved it

[peak escarp]

it's great

[shadow marsh]

PvE is now 16 hours left

It's happening

[glacial zinc]

Yes, very much so, in the New Blood comic she acts a lot differently than she does in other tidbits of lore

Or in game

[stuck stump]

what is she like when not woking

[glacial zinc]

More serious

Read new blood

[peak escarp]

watch Shooting Star

that's her personality "off camera"

[upbeat basalt]

who do u think has the worst trauma

out of the entire roster

[peak escarp]

Mei

[worthy rose]

yea

[upbeat basalt]

meis is tragic but what about rein, or even hanzo?

[peak escarp]

Hanzo caused his own trauma

[worthy rose]

that was both their fault

[peak escarp]

and Reinhardt's trauma was 30 years ago

[worthy rose]

mei didnt do anything

[peak escarp]

Mei's trauma is fresh

[upbeat basalt]

thats true

[peak escarp]

she saw her entire team die, that would mess anyone up

[pastel gulch]

Same

[peak escarp]

and yet, Mei was strong enough to keep going

[upbeat basalt]

what was it like for tracer to be phasing in and out of reality

was she sent anywhere lol

[worthy rose]

it sucked

[peak escarp]

she was out of phase with reality

[upbeat basalt]

i wonder what that would look like to her

[peak escarp]

she was basically a ghost

she could see the world, but not interact with it

and nobody could see her

[upbeat basalt]

ohhhhh

if i was herr

i would probably go insnae

insane

[dreamy karma]

why isnt there croos play comp

[upbeat basalt]

because it would be unfair to console players

the best console players still struggle to keep up with pc players

[graceful wave]

does winston have a bbc

[peak escarp]

a what

[peak escarp]

yes

they're part of her suit

because she needs to have them for the game

here's her without the suit on

they would get in the way

[hollow tinsel]

Get banned speedrun 💀

[merry token]

I love how doctor 6 doesn’t know what stuff means sometimes 😭😭

[hollow tinsel]

Yeah. Or she's trying to not engage in a convo with them 😭

[peak escarp]

oh I know what it means

I want them to incriminate themselves so they get banned

[hollow tinsel]

Real

[upbeat basalt]

thats smart

[autumn delta]

is there a lore reason for why my tank is so fucking stupid

[mellow briar]

Skill matchmaking

[static plank]

i just taught of a sigma line that has a COMPLETELY different meaning now with the OW animated vids on youtube,
Sigma says in a conversation with zen: that he met the iris.
This could mean sigma actually met her.
https://youtu.be/s06om05hCVE

[spare fox]

yeah there's got to be SOMETHING going on with quantum physics and omnic sentience I'll bet

[static plank]

People view sigma as crazy tho, but if he actually met her then how and/or when. He still is a genius

[spare fox]

My theory is either Sigma's experiment gone wrong either caused Aurora's ascendance or vice versa, OR at the very least Talon wants Sigma in hopes to replicate it again, either to make more sentient omnics or end the sentience to begin with

[static plank]

Hold up when you think about it is zen not only omnic that can float? Just like sigma, or are there more omnics that can float like zen?

[spare fox]

iirc, it has something to do with the iris

[static plank]

I wonder now if there are other hero's that talk about the iris in game/cutscenes in conversation or voice line

[spare fox]

now that I'm thinking about it, yeah it is strange that we don't get a lot of insight into any omnic characters other than Zen (not until Ramattra's release and even then it's limited)

Orisa and Echo aren't omnics and don't have sentience like the original omnics do - they're pretty much brand new
and Bastion doesn't speak

[static plank]

Bastion does speak tho but we can't understand him i think he and ram talk to each other

[spare fox]

it's what made the anime shorts interesting because we got to hear about the crisis from that Grant omnic guy

ok I know he communicates but not in a way we can fully understand like, we're not getting him giving his full perspective or anything

[candid ruin]

Who's the strongest character

[candid ruin]

?

[bleak shell]

People keep asking that question.

[ruby ridge]

uhhhhhh

The writers

[candid ruin]

Ppl says it’s doom or winton

[merry mason]

Doom got worfed by orisa and winton

[candid ruin]

So he got 2v1ed

[hollow tinsel]

Like physical strength, or with powers?

[candid ruin]

Overall

If everyone had a 1v1 who would win

Like A 1v1 tournament

[merry mason]

No on two separate 1v1s

[hushed ivy]

Isn’t it Sigma?

Also, what is Nano exactly? Is it like a massive shot of adrenaline?

[merry mason]

Nanobots

[shadow marsh]

Are you referring to Ana's nanoboost?

[hushed ivy]

Yep

[golden oak]

Combat drug

[peak escarp]

Reaper, because he's basically unkillable

but he's not the strongest

[candid ruin]

K

[strange rock]

damn u got k’d

[spare fox]

No one ever asks who the weakest hero is 🤔

[peak escarp]

a few people have

the answer is Mei or Zenyatta

[hollow meteor]

are we talking damage output

or as a whole

[peak escarp]

as a whole

[hollow meteor]

oh

kk

i would say cassidy is the strongest character

[peak escarp]

Mei is inexperienced, and Zenyatta is just a regular omnic who can heal somehow

[peak escarp]

why?

[hollow meteor]

there isnt a fight he loses inside the book/videos

[peak escarp]

how does that make him the strongest?

[hollow meteor]

hes kinda more skilled then everyone except soilder

[peak escarp]

he's just a dude with fast hands and a good eye

[hollow meteor]

yeah

[peak escarp]

Ana and Widowmaker are better shots than him

[hollow meteor]

thats casue they have snipers

[peak escarp]

he's not very strong physically, aside from his cybernetic arm

[hollow meteor]

yeah i guess

[peak escarp]

Soldier and Reaper have more tactical skill

[hollow meteor]

fair

[peak escarp]

Cassidy is nothing special in terms of power level

[hollow meteor]

but he certatnly has lots of skill

[peak escarp]

he does

but so do most of the heroes

[hollow meteor]

okay then who is the strongest

[peak escarp]

Sigma
Symmetra
Winston
Orisa
Doomfist

[hollow meteor]

whos the smartest

i would say symmetra

or sigma

[peak escarp]

Winston probably

[hollow meteor]

oh yeah

he is so smart

but what about sigma

man is crazy smart

[peak escarp]

he is

but what about the other heroes who have doctorates

Mei, Mercy, Moira

[spare fox]

it's such a hard question to answer if not impossible
just like with "strongest," there's a bunch of different ways of interpretting "smartest"

[candid ruin]

Who's the weakest hero

[hushed ivy]

Oh so it’s WW2 meth

[peak escarp]

lol

[merry mason]

Hammond without ball

[candid ruin]

Ok

What about dva. With no mech

[peak escarp]

yeah she'd be pretty weak

[candid ruin]

She has no power or strength

Just a weak pistol

With no physical combat experience

[peak escarp]

well

she is a member of the Korean army

she probably has some hand-to-hand combat training

basic training

[candid ruin]

She’s like 1ft

[torpid copper]

This isn't war, this is liberation. The invasion is apon us.

[candid ruin]

I will never pay for that shit pve

[peak escarp]

good for you

[candid ruin]

Ty

[peak escarp]

I will pay for it

[candid ruin]

💀

[peak escarp]

I've waited 4 years for this

[candid ruin]

💀

[lavish vessel]

WE will pay for it

[hollow tinsel]

Communism 🤯

[distant sparrow]

does sombra actually like sigma

not in a relationship way

but out of all the talon members

[lavish vessel]

LMAO maybe

[lavish vessel]

She has a sorta big sister vibe about her in her voice lines with him

[loud raptor]

this might be an old question, BUT: are we gonna be able to buy old mythic skins someday? like in valorant, where you can buy legendary skins some months later

[peak escarp]

they said they'll consider it, but currently don't have plans to bring them back

[loud raptor]

or like some special event, where you have to work for it, to gain mythic points which allow you to buy them

[hushed jetty]

based on the in game interactions, if they have actually met, then yeah they seem to be friendly

id say its not too unlikely that they have met

[candid ruin]

They would make more money

[loud raptor]

oh damn, i am in the wrong channel. 😄

i was like 'what?? why are they discussing lore stuff in #overwatch-serious ' xDDD

[candid ruin]

Who cares tbh

It's not that serious

No 1 is gonna die

[mellow willow]

I’m sorry if this is asked a lot:

When overwatch stopped the omnic crisis, what happened to normal omnics? Like the peaceful ones that are seen protesting. I’m assuming the omnic crisis only had a certain type of omnic attacking, and there were ones that were peaceful? And then after the crisis was over, the violent ones were Null Sector?

[hushed jetty]

during the omnic crisis, every omnic was controlled by anubis (i think)
so once aurora spoke to them, they all were able to choose whefher they wanted to keep fighting or not
so once th3 crisis was ovrr they were free to do whatever they pleased

the null sector robots are specifically produced by ramattra and arent sentient

[desert timber]

so does john cena have any lore implications

[distant sparrow]

what happened in paris

[desert timber]

Paris is the capital city of France. It was a site of civil unrest during the Omnic Crisis. At some point in the decades that followed, Paris was identified as a hotspot by Overwatch.

Paris was one of the locations Junkrat and Roadhog raided during their heist.

In the present, Paris is one of the most important art cities in the world, shown through its rebuilt architecture, galleries, and street art. It is a hot tourist destination with many restaurants and clubs to bring people in.

[distant sparrow]

ok

[mellow willow]

ok cool, ty

is the "zero hour" short, where the Null Sector is attacking Paris, is that basically when all the heroes are answering Winston's recall as seen in OW1 cinematics?

[hushed jetty]

the null sector attack on paris happens a year after recall iirc

[distant sparrow]

do we ever see the invasion

[karmic turret]

omd lore!!!

LOREEEEE

[hushed jetty]

zero hour

[distant sparrow]

ok

[hushed jetty]

they GIVE US A TIMELINE????
BLESSSSS

[mellow willow]

so did it take the heroes such as genji and rein a year to answer, and thats when theyre showing up to "answer" the recall? or did they already do that before

[mellow willow]

oooo this gonna b helpful

[hushed jetty]

yeah i think so

given they seem surprised to see genji and rein there, they didnt seem to have any prior contact with them

[karmic turret]

awe i love this

[mellow willow]

yea thats true

[karmic turret]

shes just like MEEE

uh??#

[hushed jetty]

blankieco 💀

i need to buy this shit asap. take my 15 bucks NOW

[karmic turret]

so nice to have iggy in game

[mellow willow]

and Talon basically just is trying to create tension between humans and omnics to create more null sector attacks right?

like from the little lore ive seen thats what it seems like

[hushed jetty]

uh no

doomfist's goal is to cause humanity to evolve by fucking things up

[mellow willow]

oh

[hushed jetty]

like natural selection but With People

[mellow willow]

why did they assasinate

the omnic guy

like widow

[hushed jetty]

important civil leader. big target

we dont know the exact reason though

[mellow willow]

oh gotchu

so is talon pretty mysterious still in their motives

[hushed jetty]

plus talon has been operating since before null sector existed i think, and we dont even know if ramattra agreed to work with them

[mellow willow]

ohhhh

ok

bro ur pfp is cool cuz on my monitor

like the red eye

is like one pixel

so its glowing its so weird

[hushed jetty]

thamk you

[mellow willow]

yw

but yea im excited to learn more of this story but its just kinda hard to piece together the timeline in my head

but hopefully itll make sense when i see the in game one

[hushed jetty]

yeah we dont have a big official timeline which is unfortunate, i wish we did

[mellow willow]

this tho

[hushed jetty]

idk how much that includes

thats the most specific timeline we've ever had though

[sudden crystal]

THEY ADDED A WHOLE ASS STORY MODE

[peak escarp]

we now have an official timeline

OW2 seems to be 3 years after OW1

[wraith veldt]

Nice

[karmic turret]

Guys click the photo on the missions page

athena and winston talk to eachother

[shadow marsh]

Thanks Athena

[sudden crystal]

I’m literally Ramattra

[tardy vector]

i think illari has some form of ptsd from what i've seen from her voicelines

[distant sparrow]

rip zen talon found him

[sudden crystal]

YOO I JUS WATCHED THAT

[distant sparrow]

same

[sudden crystal]

Ngl this shit was fire af

But like 3 missions in 4 years is crazy

[distant sparrow]

ikr

idk if there will be any more

i hope

[sudden crystal]

Def will be

[distant sparrow]

lets hope for free

[sudden crystal]

they set up a bunch of stuff definitely gonna be more

[shadow marsh]

Ending Spoiler of Gottenburg

||The ending dialogue with Ram Zen and Mondatta is so damn beautiful, shame that not everyone gets to experience the story mission because of the paywall.||

[sudden crystal]

its so good

every month they needa add a new mission or sum

then its good

[shadow marsh]

Unfortunately it's announced the next story missions will be in 2024

Damn shame

[sudden crystal]

💀

Dogshit corporation

This is why capitalism needs to be eradicated bruh Ramattra is right

[shadow marsh]

Blizzard is to be blamed tbh

The overwatch devs did a good job with PvE

[twilit patrol]

Wow

It was amazing

[karmic turret]

Damn, the cinematics for the PVE are amazing

The next set of missions are gonna be crazy

[distant sparrow]

does anyone have the full speech of ramattra in toronto

[quick sleet]

do we know when they gonna drop?

is it like, every season we'll get 3 more lore missions?

[limpid agate]

No

2024

[distant sparrow]

bruh

2024?

[quick sleet]

💀

with blizzard promises we will get it in 4 years after it will be watered down

[sudden crystal]

so based

[distant sparrow]

i wanna hear it

[stuck stump]

whats the story mode like

[sudden crystal]

pretty good but shouldve had like double the content maybe triple

they setup stuff for future missions shoudlve alreadyu had those missions ready for launch like next month

instead of 2024 whi h is craz

[pallid tulip]

Hi there does anyone know why I cant max out antialising quality on the graphic settings the ultra option doesnt even appear for me

[shut fog]

Hello my game overwatch keeps kicking me out only on the map dorado, every other map is completely fine however I always result in bans and my ban time goes up everytime because it freezes and kicks me onto a black screen then says I’ve been removed for inactivity, I always get a loss in this and for someone who wants to climb high ranks is very frustrating

Pls help

[silent schooner]

im pretty sure moira made illari

there’s a voice line when you kill moira as illari and she says something about not being her guinea pig

[golden oak]

That doesn’t mean anything

Moira is known for unethical experiments, she’s most likely referring to that

That she wouldn’t let moira experiment on her

She doesn’t know her most likely tho

It’s like dva saying “this rabbit fights back”

She didn’t meet moira tho

[stuck stump]

is moira widely known

[golden oak]

Yeah, it’s just her expressing her view of moira (which most characters have similar)

[limber tundra]

Omnic Saul Goodman

[opaque tundra]

||I love Reggie. I bet he’s gonna be responsible for abolishing the Petras Act||

[limber tundra]

its such a good design

[sudden crystal]

reggie a lil bitch messing up my legendary runs

[karmic turret]

illari never got an origin story did she!!

[hushed jetty]

not yet

i imagine it'll come today or maybe tomorrow bc it's not very obvious from her design what her lore is

[sudden crystal]

RAMATTRA IS LITERALLY ME

my man is a Maoist

[zinc quiver]

Mission 3 spoilers || TALON JUMPED ZENYATTA OH NO BRO ||

[opaque tundra]

||he didn’t seem to care much which is pretty funny||

[young lily]

Why is the United Nations priority to stop overwatch from saving the world (the only people who can) instead of actually stopping null sector

There’s gotta be some internal talon agent in there that’s high in management

cause otherwise it doesn’t make sense

[zinc quiver]

I dont believe the UN IRL has major military power so perhaps the UN IRL doesnt either bc we would’ve seen them in these missions

[spare fox]

that's entirely possible OR maybe they're trying to nip OW at the bud before it becomes what happened again last time

like Winston and Sojourn were talking about, it all started with a handful of agents during the crisis too

[civic prairie]

can someone tell me in less than a sentence or two with no spoilers if the missions are any good?

im a big lore fan

[spare fox]

they are good

[civic prairie]

okie, thanks

[hollow tinsel]

Is it just me, or is illari my new favorite character 😭

[spare fox]

they're not knocking my socks off but they're definitely replayable in order to unlock all the lore bits

[worthy rose]

Deinstall

[worthy rose]

IS IT Just me or does everyone feel the urge to Haze on illari Mains?

[hollow tinsel]

💀

[hollow tinsel]

Do you mean hate on illari mains?

And I think it is just you btw 🤷

[twilit patrol]

It was 10 years ago when Ramattra left the Shambali ?

[stuck stump]

Is Ramattra completely evil?

[zinc quiver]

Not completely evil, but rather misguided

[peak escarp]

he left the Shambali 4 years before the King's Row Uprising

which would be 14 years ago

[worthy rose]

I corrected IT twice and Auto correction fucked me Up 3x 🥲

[woven grail]

Dude are you flipping kidding me right now ?

[worthy rose]

? Am i?

[woven grail]

With the bad words

[worthy rose]

Huh? Fr?

Must feel Brad to be you

[woven grail]

My dad owns the server so you actually should stop

[hollow tinsel]

💀 bro Is 6 years old

[woven grail]

Yep, enjoy the ban buddy

[hollow tinsel]

💀💀💀

[peak escarp]

stop

[hollow tinsel]

Sorry doc

[fresh rock]

Oh my god

Just came back from the missions

That was incredible

We just got some filling for some gaps

That was incredible and I hope that more comes in the next couple of months.

[peak escarp]

yeah this really satisfied the itch

[worthy rose]

Did you know i Work for Epic Games? Im a Licensed stressball

[worthy rose]

IS there a rant Channel? Like, what do you think Bout This, and that (thats why i deleted my kiri question cuz This IS Lore discussion, didnt See the Lore)

[peak escarp]

I don't think so?

[worthy rose]

Oh ok

[peak escarp]

if it's lore-related it can go here, otherwise I'd say put it in #general-discussion

[worthy rose]

Oh! Thx.. ! Had that whole Section closed 🥲😭

[fresh rock]

Seems as if the leaked animation about talon going after Zen was actually real

That's gonna be exciting, I wonder how that's going to work

[peak escarp]

leaked?

it was from Blizzconline

[fresh rock]

It WAS?

[peak escarp]

yes

[fresh rock]

I.. didn't know that! Thanks Doc!

[dark lichen]

The log stuff they've added alongside the PvE missions is super cool.

Getting a kick out of some of the text interactions they have through the chat rooms.

[fresh rock]

Exactly!

[ancient iron]

Whats the lore with Mondatta,Zenyatta,and Ramattra?

[peak escarp]

they were all members of the Shambali, a religious order of monks dedicated to the Iris

Mondatta was their leader, who was assassinated 10 years ago at the King's Row uprising

Ramattra was a Ravager unit from the crisis who was searching for meaning with the Shambali, but decided their methods weren't working

Zenyatta was brought to the Shambali by Ramattra, and rose to a high rank among the Shambali before leaving in search of his own way to bridge the gap between humans and omnics

[ancient iron]

ok thanks!

[past copper]

Definitely enjoyed the story missions. I could play those for hours whenever PvP matches suck

[sudden crystal]

ram is literally me

my man is launching a national liberation war for the liberation of his people

babased

[past copper]

Welp. We’ve got Invasion. Next 3 missions will probably revolve around Talon next time

And first mission is to save Zenyatta. Can wait to see how Sombra and Widowmaker act like game bosses

[fresh rock]

Sweet!

I've been waitin' for Talon to show up :]

[worthy rose]

this season is so good

so much new stuff

all fun

why is the new girl so angry

[hushed jetty]

we dont know anything abt her yet

but she doesnt seem angry to me

certainly serious

[worthy rose]

maybe angry was the wrong word

[peak escarp]

read her bio

[worthy rose]

but definitely a bit cold

or callous when healing

[peak escarp]

she's the last survivor of a group of elite warriors who were wiped out when she went supernova during her investment ceremony

she's got good reason to be cold

[worthy rose]

yeah that would do it

[hushed jetty]

oh! yeah that would explain it

[worthy rose]

how do you even do that?

[fresh rock]

That just looks cool

[peak escarp]

it went boom

[fresh rock]

OH! I forgot to watch the video

[worthy rose]

that just look like a disaster waiting to happen! if it falls down, game over.

[peak escarp]

her lore video hasn't been released yet

there's three images in her bio

[vapid ledge]

Really enjoyed the interactions between characters and the really great cutscenes

Definitely felt like these missions helped expand the lore of ow

But man these missions felt dry and boring for me gameplay wise. I hope i wasnt the only one who felt that way

[desert yacht]

was he not assassinated in widow's short

[peak escarp]

yes

sorry

he was held hostage at the Uprising

he was assassinated in Alive, which is 3 years or so before present

[wise badger]

Gency got murdered.
Pharmercy is thriving.

[peak escarp]

?

[woven jewel]

Mercy said "Pharah" when she saw Pharah is what I think they might be referring to

Excitedly

[peak escarp]

oh no, she greeted someone she knows

stop the presses

[woven jewel]

hehe

[wise badger]

look at the database.

[peak escarp]

I did

I didn't see anything Pharmercy in there

[pseudo cipher]

lmao

oh no, looks like zen is joining talon!

sarcasm obviously

but dam the cliffhangers

[peak escarp]

Pharmercy stans will see what they want to see

[pseudo cipher]

yea

tho I wonder who her actual love interest is

mercy I mean

its probably genji

unless they retconned that

[peak escarp]

maybe

[pseudo cipher]

chu left and all

[peak escarp]

doesn't mean they would change that just because he left

[pseudo cipher]

yeah, I just feel like he was the biggest gency stan

other devs probably didnt feel too much on it

[woven jewel]

agency

[pseudo cipher]

I like that

doc patient agency

is it just me that loves sojourn even more after pve?

[peak escarp]

does that still apply after he's no longer her patient?

[pseudo cipher]

I find her the most well written there

[peak escarp]

I've loved Sojourn ever since I read her novel

[pseudo cipher]

someone that understands, theres a lot of layers to her but somehow some people find her flat

[peak escarp]

Torbjorn had some good moments in the Gothenburg mission

being a real dad

[pseudo cipher]

oh absolutely

I actually felt really bad for him

FOR TORB

that moment when bastion went turret form on rein made me lose it

its a nice surprise how some of the missions have a sizable roster to pick from

[peak escarp]

the mug... 😭

[pseudo cipher]

really gotta see all the interactions

indeed...

literally all my friends are saying to make a movie already

wholesomewatch is addicting

[stuck stump]

Wholesomewatch?

[pseudo cipher]

absolutely

pve just warms the heart

torb ;_;

[stuck stump]

Are all the characters featured?

[peak escarp]

no

only 17 heroes appear in the story missions

[dreamy karma]

[dreamy karma]

pfp😭

[peak escarp]

it would be difficult to shove every hero into these 3 missions

only heroes who are part of Overwatch are involved

plus Lucio and Bastion

[pseudo cipher]

I just had another person bring it up, you guys have good taste 😉

[dreamy karma]

utah makes me mad bruh, she litteraly tried to kill luffy

[pseudo cipher]

tough love

[dreamy karma]

law>

[pseudo cipher]

he is goated indeed

[dreamy karma]

real

[maiden hound]

Holy shit I'm sorry but

The iris is a physical object? It isn't some coding thing or a intangible being or just something they made up to explain why they think they got sentience

It's physically there

[peak escarp]

it seems to be made of energy

but yes

[woven jewel]

What is its relationship with Aurora again?

[peak escarp]

we saw this in the Genesis animation

Aurora became the Iris when she transcended

[woven jewel]

Gotcha

[merry token]

I see that they ret-conned brigitte’s musculature 😭

[peak escarp]

blame the model artists

[merry token]

It’s like, I expected this would happen, but I’m still disappointed

[hushed jetty]

id love to see a talon pve event in the future
like, playing as talon members

lord knows what the goal would be but it sounds fun

[peak escarp]

that would be fun

not sure who they'd be fighting though

[hushed jetty]

right thats the question

maybe overwatch, and set it in the past?

[pseudo cipher]

I was talking about junker pve

hog is popular anyways

its a no brainer

[fresh rock]

Too many tanks

[stuck stump]

Is roadhog good

[peak escarp]

like, morally good?

he is wanted for murder

[pseudo cipher]

lmao definitely not

isnt he one of the only playable murderers?

most ow heroes seem clean

like humans not bots

"I killed someone for less than that!"

[peak escarp]

the majority of heroes have killed

about half have killed humans

[merry token]

I would love to know where this came from

[peak escarp]

the only ones who haven't killed anyone at all are... Zenyatta, Lifeweaver, Orisa, probably Sigma

[pseudo cipher]

wait seriously?

even tracer?

[peak escarp]

she has killed omnics

[pseudo cipher]

sorry I mostly go off in game

[peak escarp]

well actually

hold on

[pseudo cipher]

I meant humans

not counting omnics

[peak escarp]

let me list them

[merry token]

Omnicphobic fr 😨

[pseudo cipher]

I just think we arent at a point where omnics are well established as human equals

but pve did a good job with the toronto one

[worthy rose]

In the space station, there might have possibly been people there

When sigma did his experiment

[peak escarp]

there probably were

doesn't mean he killed them

[pseudo cipher]

did widowmaker actually kill husbands?

[worthy rose]

the windows broke and seemed to put sigma in the vacuum of space, however

[plucky iris]

doesnt sigma throw black holes or something?

[worthy rose]

He clamps them through hyperspheres (the metal outside of them)

and tosses them out

[plucky iris]

isnt he also an elderly schizophrenic that got tortured

[worthy rose]

From what we've heard in the lore, his brain is being "fried"

and Sombra is worried about him

so probably he is

[pseudo cipher]

he seems far more gone than widow

widow seems to show hints of recovering

[plucky iris]

i know its a fictional game but wouldnt that be crazy amount of power to someone insane

[stuck stump]

Widow redemption arc

[worthy rose]

Sigma is controlled by Talon

he can't make his own choices anymore

he's sorta like Robocop

[pseudo cipher]

lmao

[stuck stump]

As in he's mentally incapable of thinking for himself?

[peak escarp]

Killed humans: Ana, Ashe, Baptiste, Cassidy, Genji, Hanzo, Kiriko, Mercy, Moira, Ramattra, Reaper, Roadhog, Sombra, Symmetra, Widowmaker, Winston, Illari
Killed omnics: Junker Queen, Junkrat, Reinhardt, Sojourn, Soldier, Torbjorn, Wrecking Ball, Zarya
Killed drones: Bastion, Brigitte, D.Va, Echo, Lucio, Mei, Pharah, Tracer
Not killed anyone: Lifeweaver, Orisa, Sigma, Zenyatta

[plucky iris]

they mentioned after the toronto mission soldier 76 chasing reaper

[pseudo cipher]

Waiiiit MERCY?

[plucky iris]

how can he kill reaper though?

all he has is a gun

[peak escarp]

Mercy was part of the Storm Rising mission, where she fought Talon agents

[worthy rose]

He can think on his own in certain interactions,

Like with lifeweaver, sombra, and possibly more-

But his mind is usually blank when speaking with someone like Moira or Soldier 76.

[peak escarp]

even as a medic, I find it hard to believe she didn't fire a single shot

[pseudo cipher]

Oh crap, those weren't all bots?

[peak escarp]

no, those were humans

[pseudo cipher]

monkaW

[merry token]

She killed her husband definitely

[pseudo cipher]

yeah besides that one

[plucky iris]

lore wise who is the strongest characters tho

[worthy rose]

alright, I'll have to ask you if someone didn't already

so what's going on with Genji and Mercy?

[worthy rose]

Doomfist or Sigma.

[peak escarp]

Sigma, Symmetra, Winston, Orisa, Doomfist

[merry token]

It’s implied that they might have something going on

[plucky iris]

arent moira and reaper like ghosts though

they got that wraith thing

lifesteal

[pseudo cipher]

Symmetra seems pretty busted with her hard light

[peak escarp]

they can turn into smoke

doesn't necessarily make them powerful

makes them hard to kill

[plucky iris]

isnt winston just a gorilla though?

[peak escarp]

he's a genetically enhanced gorilla

[pseudo cipher]

modified I think

[peak escarp]

who has canonically beaten Reaper twice and Doomfist once

[pseudo cipher]

yea like ham

[plucky iris]

hes like a dumb gorilla grodd that isnt evil right

[worthy rose]

I'm confused because I do ship gency (not to do a diehard degree, I'm normal abt it)

But at the same time, Blizzard likes to keep switching between Genji and Pharah for being mercy's love interest. So I'm just almighty confused. Is Twitter just high?

[peak escarp]

Twitter will jump at the slightest crumb

[merry token]

Wdym is twitter high 😭

[peak escarp]

Blizzard keeps hinting at both to keep both invested

[pseudo cipher]

You're just being gaslit, dont read too much onto stuff lol

[merry token]

Knight in flying armor is kind of baiting ngl

[worthy rose]

The pharmercy and gency comms are fighting each other again

because of that interaction in pve

[stuck stump]

Will they ever make a final decision

[peak escarp]

maybe

[merry token]

Yah I prefer one but I wouldn’t bash the other lol

[pseudo cipher]

they're just farming engagement, they know what they are writing

[merry token]

Would prefer mercy be aro because of the edaters 🫡🫡

[peak escarp]

I want Pharah to find happiness with someone better than Mercy

[plucky iris]

how would you guys feel if they cancelled pve a few years from now then wrapped up the story in a book you bought off their store

[stuck stump]

Better than mercy?

[merry token]

It’ll be me btw

[peak escarp]

better for her

[pseudo cipher]

dont give them ideas lmao

[peak escarp]

Mercy seems too dedicated to her work for a proper relationship

[peak escarp]

they'd never do that

[merry token]

It’s Jack and Vincent all over again fr

[peak escarp]

yep

[pseudo cipher]

shes never too dedicated to use that pistol

[worthy rose]

She doesn't look like she'd have anyone to be completely honest

Being a sassy strong woman warrior who doesn't seem to seek out anyone (none of her interactions really showed she even cared about having a partner) fits her

By that I mean pharah

[merry token]

I honestly would not mind if more of the cast were given npc partners

[hushed jetty]

wish i could send images but i love the chat logs

||winston: let's make the world a better place! :)
baptiste: Ok||

[worthy rose]

D.va and Zarya bruh

[peak escarp]

I don't really care about the heroes' relationships

[worthy rose]

that stuff was funny

[peak escarp]

this isn't a dating sim

[merry token]

😭

[pseudo cipher]

I love when dva called the bots trash and ez

[worthy rose]

Jsjshsgsgsbs

[stuck stump]

Sounds like tracer

[merry token]

Do you think they’re making another loverwatch next year or no?

[peak escarp]

maybe

it was popular

[worthy rose]

I'm hoping the next batch of PVE includes two missions of Talon, but then one with 76; reuniting with Reaper

[plucky iris]

yeah

low effort and popular

theyll probably do something similar to sell more skins

[peak escarp]

I just want a Wedding themed season, where we celebrate the wedding of Lena and Emily

[worthy rose]

Cassidy and Hanzo

[plucky iris]

hanzo skin was nice

[pseudo cipher]

it would be so boring if its all about the good guys, so I agree

[merry token]

Cupid Hanzo got me

[plucky iris]

shot through the heart

and im to blame

[stuck stump]

You give love a bad name

[hushed jetty]

chad lena and emily getting married in the midst of a war:

[stuck stump]

How likely is that

[plucky iris]

who is enigma

where is john cena

this advertising lied to me

[peak escarp]

they've been dating for long enough, put a ring on it girl

[stuck stump]

How long have they been together for

[worthy rose]

Oh, oh.

Wait.

The next batch will have Genji and Hanzo reunite to fight against Talon to ||save Zenyatta.|| That seems like something that'd happen.

[hushed jetty]

lena kneels down mid null sector attack and proposes. everyone applauds, even the robots

[peak escarp]

lol

[plucky iris]

cleared resistance liberation ironclad and underworld

not one mention of him

[worthy rose]

Ugh. Spoilers if you haven't finished the campaign

[peak escarp]

missions need to have at least 4 heroes

[plucky iris]

kiriko

as supp

[peak escarp]

and I don't think Hanzo will leave Tokyo

[worthy rose]

I'd think we should have at least one or two solo missions

that's just me, I like to play single player games lmao

which is why I want a soldier 76 mission

[peak escarp]

Hanzo is one of the heroes being featured in the short story collection next year

[stuck stump]

Does kiriko have a so

[plucky iris]

what is soldier 76 even doing

[peak escarp]

which seems to be focusing on heroes that aren't in the main story

[worthy rose]

He's trying to track down Reaper/Gabe

[peak escarp]

hunting down those responsible for the explosion that destroyed the Swiss base (and nearly killed Soldier and Reaper)

[worthy rose]

Oh

Damn

[plucky iris]

would that be talon?

[peak escarp]

seems to be

[merry token]

Not from what we know

[plucky iris]

looks like they replace soldier 76 with sojourn in the story

[worthy rose]

A co op mission with Ana and Jack would be pretty cool

[peak escarp]

she is the most experienced

[stuck stump]

We need more bawb

[peak escarp]

makes sense that she would be the new leader

[plucky iris]

character that wasnt in game until a few months ago lol

[worthy rose]

Honestly? Would've thought Reinhardt considering how long he's fought

I know he's more of a bashing man

[plucky iris]

makes you wonder what story will be when overwatch 3 releases

[peak escarp]

Reinhardt wasn't part of the original leadership team

[worthy rose]

It's just a whole new roster, Tracer is as old as jack

[peak escarp]

also he was forced to retire after a mission gone bad

[worthy rose]

Ah

[peak escarp]

Sojourn was acting Strike Commander after Jack, Gabe and Ana all went MIA

[plucky iris]

wouldnt it make more sense to kill off old characters like in mmos to replace them with new ones

[worthy rose]

Another thing- how did we never have Lucio and Overwatch ever interact despite being in the game for years?

That feels so weird

[plucky iris]

assuming overwatch still is a thing 7 years from now

[peak escarp]

Lucio was only active in Rio

Overwatch was a global force

[pseudo cipher]

I would love that

[peak escarp]

and afaik, Lucio only rose to fame very recently, after Overwatch had already disbanded

[worthy rose]

Jesus christ I'm glad you exist with the more questions I have to ask

why did Zarya join overwatch, considering how Russia probably would view them as enemies

[peak escarp]

Cassidy recruited her

read New Blood #4

[pseudo cipher]

he did yeah

[peak escarp]

in fact, read all of New Blood

[worthy rose]

I only read retribution and the tracer comics

[peak escarp]

that comic shows how Pharah, Baptiste, Zarya and D.Va end up joining Overwatch

[worthy rose]

• the short story about reaper and sombra

[plucky iris]

im not a big fan how games these days make you read comics, read books, watch series to see all the story

[worthy rose]

Compare that to marvel and star wars bro.

They make you pay for it

[plucky iris]

is my biggest gripe with halo rn

[worthy rose]

[plucky iris]

halo used to be real simple before all that

at least overwatch is free for now

[worthy rose]

The thing is- where would Blizzard place this lore?

[peak escarp]

all of the Overwatch lore is free except the 3 novels and the 3 story missions

they really should put the relevant comics in the game

[worthy rose]

Sure, make a series.

But I'd think it takes a long time for a decently big studio to make these animations

like I'm guessing it took millions and hard cracking to create the genesis series

[plucky iris]

animated series wont take long

idk why they havent started one yet

same with nintendo

[worthy rose]

I'm waiting on a Sigma cinematic, to how Moira brought him to be how he is

and possibly how Sombra became amused with him

[peak escarp]

Moira?

she didn't do anything to him

[worthy rose]

Didn't moira put that thing on his head?

[plucky iris]

isnt sombra the most evil character

[worthy rose]

She has her own agenda, she's just in Talon for resources

[peak escarp]

here's all the lore, if you want to get caught up
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BFYjC78shFuhpu4Fm0l99qKQznIc7lPouQaikD5YvkY/edit?usp=sharing

[plucky iris]

moira and doomfist trying to evolve humanity or smth

[peak escarp]

for the story missions to make sense, I reccomend Zero Hour, New Blood, Binary and London Calling

[stuck stump]

From what I know I'd say Moira is probably the most evil

[worthy rose]

"You and jefe need to stop frying Sigma's brain"

hinting moira was most likely involved in the creation of sigma

[peak escarp]

Moira is experimenting on him

but he was like that before she ever got to him

[worthy rose]

I'm thinking that's how she has the ability to suck people's matter out now

[plucky iris]

didnt sombra blackmail that arms factory person or something

[worthy rose]

she blackmailed Katya Volskaya

[peak escarp]

yes

[plucky iris]

sounds evil to me

[worthy rose]

she only did it for her resources

[stuck stump]

Not as evil as killing people though

[worthy rose]

not for talon

[merry token]

Morally grey or smth

[worthy rose]

The most evil person is junkrat

[peak escarp]

she's certainly not a good person

[worthy rose]

he only lusts for chaos

[plucky iris]

whatd junk do

[peak escarp]

Sombra only does things that further her own interests

[worthy rose]

committed many crimes across the globe

[plucky iris]

i dont get roadhog either'

hes a giant meatball

[worthy rose]

Roadhog assisted him in it

[plucky iris]

how has anyone not shot him dead yet

dudes got no armor

[peak escarp]

it's likely Sombra has been giving Soldier info on Reaper

[worthy rose]

Which does make alot of sense tbf

[mellow grove]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2dfyywwj1Co?feature=share

[plucky iris]

better yet how is his heart not giving out every few steps he takes

is there a lore reason for that?

i find that more curious than the iris spirit dragon fox juju stuff

[worthy rose]

Yknow that there's such thing as fat but muscular people?

He's just that

[peak escarp]

because he's mostly muscle

[worthy rose]

Yeah

he throws a damn hook across the map

[peak escarp]

also being fat doesn't automatically mean you have a bad heart or poor health

some people are just big

[stuck stump]

I imagine junker queen isn't exactly the best person either

[plucky iris]

junker queen is huge

[worthy rose]

She wanted to rule better than the Junker King

[plucky iris]

so is road and junk

[worthy rose]

treat her people in a decent way at least

[plucky iris]

what are they feeding these people

or are they mutated like in mad max

[worthy rose]

despite being chaotic herself

[plucky iris]

from radiation

[peak escarp]

they are slightly irradiated

[worthy rose]

Also, in actual lore-

Does Ana really just sit there shooting syringes at Jack and Gabe

sounds funny lmao

[peak escarp]

yep

[stuck stump]

Does she care much for the outside world?

[peak escarp]

little darts filled with biotic juice

[worthy rose]

No, just her people

[plucky iris]

assuming omnics are a race of people

why are junkerqueen roadhog and junkrat racist

[peak escarp]

because the government gave "their land" to the omnics after the crisis

[worthy rose]

I'd like to know for a friend-

Baptiste has a friend, a big guy (who might be a tank in season 8 according to many dropped dev hints)
Who's he?

[peak escarp]

they formed the Australian Liberation Front to get it back, and ended up blowing up an omnium

[plucky iris]

i thought like 99% of people in australia live in coastal cities im prob wrong tho

[peak escarp]

Junkertown is built on the remains of that omnium

the rest of Australia is normal

it's just Junkertown that is Mad Max

[peak escarp]

Mauga

[worthy rose]

Yeah, him

he's said to be the next tank in December/January

do you know any juicy stuff about him?

[peak escarp]

maybe

he was introduced in the short story "What You Left Behind"

[plucky iris]

everytime people assume the next thing

its something else

[peak escarp]

he's basically a berserker

[worthy rose]

The devs have dropped numerous hints about him

And they also said "I think fans will be really happy with who we bring in next for the roster"

but it could easily be someone else

but whom?

[hushed jetty]

they have kept him from us for years, SURELY it is him this time (copium)

[worthy rose]

Literally man

[peak escarp]

could be an entirely new character, like Illari

[worthy rose]

there's two things I love in games-

Armor and muscle

he's got that same build as rein

[plucky iris]

what does mauga mean

[hushed jetty]

mountain

it's samoan

[peak escarp]

it's Samoan for "mountain"

[plucky iris]

what if he does earthquake stomps or something

[worthy rose]

he's probably getting voiced by Dwayne Johnson

I can tell

[peak escarp]

lol Blizzard couldn't afford him

[plucky iris]

yeah hes expensive

[worthy rose]

Lol

[hushed jetty]

they got john cena as the enigma (for 2 mins) so it's certainly not off the table

[plucky iris]

too expensive for fast & furious

they should prob stick to low level VAs

so having them come back wont be problematic

[peak escarp]

2 minutes is a lot different from 5,000 lines of dialogue

[worthy rose]

Moira's voice actor is Mon Mothma in star wars though

She's really famous

As well as cassidy's voice actor

[plucky iris]

i heard cassidys va in other games only

[worthy rose]

He played Alex the Lion from Madagascar, Midas from fortnite

Captain Levi from AOT

[peak escarp]

he wasn't Alex in Madagascar

[worthy rose]

I may be confusing my names

[peak escarp]

that was Ben Stiller

[worthy rose]

OH

[plucky iris]

cassidys va and ashes va are only ones i recognize

[hushed jetty]

matt mercer is a p big name yeah

[peak escarp]

he's still just a voice actor

[worthy rose]

Terry Crews was going to be doomfist

[peak escarp]

lol no

he wasn't

[worthy rose]

but he decided not to because of his fame

or something-

saw on a tik tok

[plucky iris]

they should get other popular VAs from other games instead

[peak escarp]

the community saw him visiting Blizzard studios and decided he was probably going to voice someone in Overwatch

[worthy rose]

Christopher Judge (Kratos VA) as a character I'd love to see

[peak escarp]

the truth is he was visiting because he's a fan of Blizzard games

I'd like Ashley Johnson to play a hero

[plucky iris]

whod they play?
