my best guess is 2079 or 2083
But why 2077?
I said it mainly as a joke.
Y’know. “Cyberpunk 2077?”
Really neat indie game imo
Indie 💀
y'all need to learn what "indie" means
overwatch is my favourite indie game
slightly
more cyber than punk though
punk is all about going against authority and Overwatch was an authority at one point
I won't take the overwatch age seriously
ages*
did they fix it yet it is it still on fire
kiri is like 20 or something and hanzo & genji are like twice her age
they haven't fixed it
but that's the only one that's a problem
no reason to disregard all of them if only one is wrong
yeah most are good kiri is the only one that’s off
Kiri should be 24
Kirko 28 would be unrealistic
why?
she doesn't
no
20 max
people said the same thing about Sombra
I think 26 is best because it matches with sojiros death
"she can't be 30, she doesn't look old enough"
No sombra looks grown
She was 12 right?
Kiri just doesn’t
turns out most gamers don't know what women look like
26-28 isn't that old
Wait is this an insult

Yk what you’re right
women don't tend to age much visually between 20 and 30
She dose look 26
But noticeable
I've heard the "she doesn't look old enough" about pretty much every female hero
including Ana
people think 60-62 is old and decrepit
Ana looks old
And kiri is 21
Even blizzard agrees with me
That’s a blizzard mystery 
They fixed Sojourn age a few times ago
It said 47 but it was wrong
now she's 51
also the cartoony style could contribute to people looking younger
Looking old just varies from person to person, it depends on innumerable factors
60 might look like 40 or 80, depends on the person
Plus what Spider noir said, art style is a factor too
also if you value “how old they look” then genji definitely doesn’t look like he’s in his twenties in kiri origin
Maybe it has something to do with dragons and spirit foxes

spirits could make you look younger, but they wouldn't make you actually be younger
ignoring what they look like, her age is still wrong
she can't be 21 because she was 12 when Sojiro Shimada died, which was at least 12 years ago
so at minimum, she has to be 24
What’s blizzard take on this
so either her age is wrong, or the statement aboug her being 12 when Sojiro died is wrong
they haven't addressed it
I'm sure they've seen the countless complaints on reddit, twitter, the forums, etc.
They’re stuck themselves
?

do you mean like they’re in too deep and can’t change it now?
because they could just like change it like they did with soj
yeah that's what I said
No they don’t even know what to change
It’s too weird
?
it's not that complicated
I mean, it said she was 47 and they fixed it, now she's 51.
they would like just have to change the number on the website
Yes but what would they say
It was a glitch?
they don't have to say anything
Ig
like with soj they didn’t say anything
they didn't say anything when they changed Sojourn's
She was of by a few years
Plus she’s half robot
so is Kiriko
what does soj being a cyborg have to do with it?
yeah explain us

Ig robots age just as humans
My mistake
soj was off by four years and kiri is off by five

The human parts age at the same rate
That's a very well though theory, I feel like sigma would know about the iris anyways though, however he's no mentally stable so I guess it would be hard to see him use his max potential, and also know the "how" of his powers yk
There's also a theory that says that the "melody" is actually caused by the string theory
Kiriko is a cyborg?
why are you here then?
I seen you spam this in another channel.. why’re you trying so hard to get a response?
Validation cuz in reality they just suck
I never thought I'd say the friendship of a hamster and a monke is tragic
Dm me
Damn. Mario, Five Nights at Freddy’s, now Iron Lung
When will Overwatch get a movie? Lol
?
Movie or series. Whatever. I’ll take it regardless
Maybe a movie on how Overwatch was created and how the war began something like that
Oh they already did with Genesis
Need a series during the Golden Age of Overwatch
I don't mind if we don't get that
See the rise and fall of a once great organization
A series would be awesome! Especially a series similar to Genesis where it's a set of mini episodes focusing on one or a small handful of heroes or an event that happens in-universe
I know there's heroes ascendant anthology coming out but it'd be cool to see what the non-OW heroes witnessed and what they did during Invasion
I wonder if BOB got subjugated 😭
I could see it happening if he was trying to protect Ashe
I mean… if Blizzard finds the right people to take up an Overwatch series put it on a streaming platform, it would be done deal
I don’t know who made Arcane, but I wouldn’t be opposed to them
Fortiche made the series
Whatever. Just saying seeing Overwatch in action before being shut down would be an amazing series
Watching how they operated in taking down bad guys around the globe and trying to bring down Talon
considering those things have gravity powers AND they even make sure the arms of the omnics are down before clamping on them it could happen
Although most voice lines aren't canon, it's good to hear Hanzo is healing. Just heard an interaction between him and sojourn ingame that he'll get a pet like sojourn after he's settled down
What the spirit dragons do exactly, because when Hanzo got hit by his dragons + Genjis, nothing really happened. Unless he’s immune to his own dragons
MURPHY IS A FEMALE DOG?!?!
Here are some hero interactions from Season 7.

#Overwatch2 #overwatch
Really? Didn’t even notice
Weird how moira didn’t know about hogdrogen
ew tiktok
not that weird - it's something Roadhog created for himself
Is Tracer technically immortal if her chrono accelerator is perfectly fine and running?
no
she still ages
Really?
yes
I saw him buying them from someone in a comic
you can see the machines for filling the canisters in his home on the Junkertown map
he was buying the canisters - he fills them himself
Someone lied to me then
was it tiktok?
No, someone here
If it actually works he has to have some knowledge about chemistry, maybe he was a chemist before the crisis
wasnt he like 10?
he's 50 now, and the ALF was around 26 years ago
Yeah so he could’ve been
Would like to see his and junkrats backstory since we don’t know much
Well mostly Roadhog since Junkrat grew up in junkertown mostly
it would be nice to see what Mako was like before he became Roadhog
or what Junkrat's family situation was like
Yeah, especially since he mentions his mom sometimes
Like where is she
Oh and he asks Ana to adopt him
So I’m guessing his biological mother might not be alive
Unfortunately I feel like they want to keep him being mysterious
By not revealing his face they keep him being a scary individual and not just a big guy with a hook
I always found it interesting that JQ calls him Mako
His official bio implies that after the explosion he took up the mask and the became Roadhog
and iirc Roadhog was one of her enforcers
Yeah it's interesting they have history
And what it was Roadhog did to make her not like him enough to be persona non grata in Junkertown even before he teamed up with Junkrat
Oh right
I always break that motorcycle when I’m on junkertown map and I forgot about it
Streetpig was also already taken /joke
Pathswine
Sidewalkswine
No he was in junkertown when Junkrat got exiled
He did have some debts tho I think
Yes but in Wasted Land, her enforcer (iirc) said he was surprised he'd show his face around after what he did
No mention of debts I think
He caught some scavengers stealing his panels, scared them off and took their shotgun and scrap, brought it in to Bruce for scrap money, went to the bar with the money, Junkrat was there
And then he got "hired"by Junkrat who was about to be attacked by the enforcers (for his treasure)
Oh and via voicelines, Junkrat knows Stone Anthony but we don't know that story
Maybe that's where you're getting the debt thing from?
He had debts at Bruce’s for sure
Oh yeah
Ram and reaper have the best lore
Hammond sleeping in winston’s pillow is so cute
Interesting, maybe
Best, debatable.
I’ve been thinking
You know those more robotic omnics from the war? The ones that resemble actual weapons and stuff? Were they also given sentience when aurora did the thing? Or were they just mindless robots CONTROLLED by omnics [Anubis]
Probably the first
They wouldn't build them without sentience, as it kind of goes against there will
Well, none of the omnics were built with sentience. All of the omnics alive when aurora did the thing gained sentience and ones after were mindless machines
But that’s besides the point. I’m curious as to why none of them [Weapon omnics] are around anymore. Probably all killed, but how? It would go against the previously outlines omnic rights, and besides, they’re TANKS in the literal and figurative sense. It’d take a tank to destroy one.
They could possibly have undergone physical changes to appear different
Yknow to not look like warbots
You mean like bastions and idinas?
iirc they specifically dismantled all the bastion units aft3r the war
except, yknow, bastion
except the ones made by Null Sector
No, more like, say, the “omnic” shown in GENESIS near the beginning, the one Reinhardt blocked with his shield. Four legs, giant gun upper half? Those
Show
^ image that pops up when you look up ow2 pve so you're probably right
Just saying, I was only confirming the first question 😛
also now that I know that that's a torb turret, I feel dumb for not realizing lol
Is the new hanzo lore released yet? Or do I have to wait for blizzcon
Wait for blizzcon
Who and what do you think is going to be the focus of the Blizzcon cinematic?
Probably a Mauga intro, but I'd rather one that focuses on a group like OW or Talon though they'd probably save those for PvE cinematics
I'd also like that. I'd like to dig in through Mauga's origin story.. perhaps piece things together.
why lifeweaver is wanted in 17 countries is crime doer him?
he stole tech from Vishkar
id love it to be a mauga cinematic
or at LEAST something related to talon
a Talon short would be good to set up the next arc of the story missions
or maybe something with Ramattra to continue the Null Sector plotline
maybe they jumpscare us and its a zen cinematic
ZEN LORE YEAAH
I LOVE ZENYATTA LORE
so you know how widowmakers lore apparently is that she got brainwashed and put through torture that left her emotionless right? There are people that are saying she Volunteer to have her emotion suppressed . Opinions and thoughts?
With few other options left, Amélie returned to Talon, chasing the high that had both thrilled and terrified her. At her behest, she was given extensive training in the covert arts and agreed to participate in an experimental marksman program. Talon’s geneticist, Moira O’Deorain, altered Amélie’s physiology to improve her aim, drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue, and numbed her ability to experience human emotion. It dulled the pain of what she’d done, while heightening the charge she felt on the hunt.
she did, but that was after she was conditioned into a sleeper agent and killed her husband
Okay ty
the kidnapping and neural reconditioning part was not voluntary
the becoming a sniper and having her emotions suppressed part was voluntary
she just liked killing since it gave her strong thrilling emotions
classic borderline personality disorder
was the ana training widow (pre-brainwash) real or fanart?
fanart
we don't even know if Amelie killed Gerard by shooting him, right?
a little hard to be poisoned in your sleep
since typically you have to eat/drink something poisoned to be poisoned
🥲
Wasn’t it a gunshot?
"she was haunted by the way murdering her husband had made her feel."
that makes it feel more like a violent death
we don't know how she killed him
Well, it had to be a quick death
Gerard devoted Overwatch’s every resource to recovering his bride, and it wasn’t long before the operation produced results. His agents saved Amélie, and a medical and psychological evaluation after the kidnapping found her to be apparently no worse for wear. Their official assessment proved fatally inaccurate two weeks later . . . when they discovered she had killed Gérard in his sleep.
this is a bit confusing - "feeling alive" is supposed to be a good feeling right? (referring to the sentence that follows)
yes
so was she conflicted cuz it made her feel good but also it was her own husband?
she was haunted because she enjoyed it
you're not supposed to enjoy the feeling of killing someone
I hate not knowing how to phrase a question
so this was like when widow's mind was messed up only a little bit and then when she went back to Talon, the mind was altered even more?
yes
does Genji's relation to overwatch kinda go like this?
gets recruited straight into Blackwatch >> leaves in search for peace >> comes back into normal Overwatch
i know like 99% of shimada lore but im affirming some unsure points
life saved by Mercy -> given a cyborg body in exchange for taking down the Shimada clan -> Genji joins Blackwatch -> Blackwatch is disbanded, Genji moves to the regular Overwatch team -> Genji helps take down Doomfist -> Genji leaves to find peace ->Genji meets Zenyatta
wasn't the regular ow team also disbanded when bw did?
no
Blackwatch was disbanded after the Venice Incident (Retribution)
Overwatch lasted a couple more years after that
i know that happened after reaper killed that bad dude
i see
did doom's fight happen before or after recall
before
so all this is b4 recall ?
yes
gotcha
about 5-6 years before Recall
what r u guys predicting for what's going to happen after the zen short at the end of the missions?
hm I predict that Zen will wind up in Talon's hands or with Talon for reasons (not agreeing with them obv)
Overwatch will show up to rescue him
either he'll give himself up hoping to reason with Ram/Talon or just plain get captured and Genji/OW has to rescue him
idk, I don't see him teaming up with OW just yet
I think some story needs to unfold between him and Ramattra first
Yeah, I feel like zen has more things to take care of before he joins overwatch
but thats most likely whats gonna happen
yeah we already saw in the Blizzcon online clip Genji is at least there trying to save him
I think he's/OW is gonna either fail or Zen willingly goes with them, again not because he's "joining" Talon but to talk to Ramattra
sowhat was it that drive omnics and humns ap art?
the omnics attacked and tried to kill all humans
I think the Anubis AI thing was the one that started the omnic war right?
ye it went rogue and hijacked every omnic on the planet
How would Zen be useful to OW though? The only thing I see him becoming is like a therapist or a team morale booster lol
He just seems to be the one of the very few, if not, the only one who’s able to get Ram to talk.
I just don’t see Zen joining Overwatch at all. It feels out of character to me. He’s more of a neutral guy overall
Widow killed Mondatta, the leader of the shambali (clan group thing zen used to be a part of)
To assume all omnics look the same is a little weird tbh
He'd be like Sojourn and help them stop Null Sector but not directly ally himself with Overwatch
At least that's how I see it
That’s what I was thinking too. I can’t see Zen leaving the pilgrimage he basically just started to live on Gibraltar
He'll beat their asses
zenyatta is weak in lore
He’s just a omnic that has some control of orbs
He is not a “god”
he is NOT beating anyone's ass ‼️
i feel like he'll get helped by genji and then. dip
We already know that Genji will help him
what do u guys think the iris is
We already know
Watch genesis
Iris is a state Aurora achieved in order to liberate omnics from Anubis
(Giving them sentience was a side effect)
is there a compilation of moira’s creations (outside of herself and the talon heroes she experimented on)
21
google says 19 tho
there was a time skip between ow1 and ow2
she was 19 before
now shes 21
my friend said that but I dont understand how she grew up but others no?
everyone did
How old is orisa then
Ok
According to Hero of Numbani, while Efi was working on Orisa, Mondatta was just recently assasinated. That happened the same night as the recall.
Who's mondatta
Wait wasn't he that omnic that got shot by widow
yes
Oh yeah now I remember he was in that flashback cut scene at the end of the 3rd invasion mission
yes
any good videos explaining the lore?
im pretty new to the game, been playing since ow2
pinned stuff
There’s a lot of it
I would recommend just reading/watching the sources tho
Comics, cinematics are really good
Didn’t read much stories so can’t really tell how they are
Winton
what did illari do for the lore? I feel like they couldve done a yokai or someone from meka squad
illari is connected to no one
yup
or they did until she went supernova on them
She has a voice line with Sombra about her wanting Sombra to get some information for her
Im guessing the information she’s seeking is about inti
Honestly, what talon takes interest in her, she already has a lot of interactions with moira
Perhaps but we also know Sombra has a lot of intel on Portero/Lumérico... who is in with Vishkar
She knows a lot about everything so that’s why she’s asking her
Has someone been able to figure out what the qr code on Mei's echopoint skin leads to
Probably. It might just be the OW website tho
what qr code
Huh
the one peice, the one peice is realll
lore wise who is the weakest?
Zen, maybe?
probably Mei or Zenyatta
although as an omnic Zenyatta is automatically stronger than most humans
Zen is pretty influential too, and I guess that's a form of strength
Mei's just a cold girl with a robot friend
with very little combat experience
and she's annoying
Hammond without mech
i wonder who would win in like a fist fight
no like mechs or cybernetics or anything
maybe rein? or winston?
Lucio and LW also have low combat experience
Well Lucio more since he was fighting in pve a lot
lucio fought in hero of numbani too right?
Maybe a bit
Only humans
Cuz omnics would have unfair advantage
Doom would win
even without primal rage hes still massive
Winston isn’t a human
well if youre taking out omnics for an unfair advantage then like doom has a cybernetic arm
If we include animals then Winston if we include omnics than ram/orisa/bastion?
Pretty sure he’s strong in both hands
Ram it's complicated
Doomfist is a trained martial artist
even with one arm he's a better fighter
he would win in a fistfight
if no augments are allowed
with augments he would still win against any human, but would lose to Winston or Orisa
I’d say ram or orisa
If nemesis is canon then maybe ram
bob?
Bob would lose
even basic omnics like Zen would be stronger than ordinary humans
Uh idk he’s big but he was made to be a butler, Orisa and ram were built to fight
yeah but like ram was built to like hold a gun and command omnics i doubt hes as strong as bob
I speak for everyone when i say requirements for playing overwatch Rank match should be 100 QP wins and 40% .
!!loreonly
This channel is for serious discussion strictly related to the lore of Overwatch. Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
What's lore
Yeah and I don't think omnics has a ability like the nemesis
But if their guns got broken or taken away they would be useless so I’d assume Anubis would make them capable of close combat also
It’s nanobot technology afaik so we shouldn’t probably count it anyways
They must have been strong
with nemesis ram would probably beat bob but i think without bob has the edge
Because holding a gun isn't that easy
So orisa on top huh
human heroes with no augments: Ana, Ashe, Brigitte, Baptiste, D.Va, Junker Queen, Lucio, Mercy, Mei, Pharah, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Zarya
Hanzo, Kiriko, Sigma and Tracer are kind of a grey area
so between the non-augmented humans... Roadhog would win
unless we take character into account, in which case he would let JQ win
Why Hanzo and kiriko grey
because its unclear how their spirits interact with them
do the spirits make them stronger? if so, then they would have an unfair advantage
Idk but they have unique abilities
oh I guess not then
Kiriko Yes, Hanzo don’t think so
Hanzo just summons the dragons and sends them at his opponent, not sure how would that help him in a fist fight
of these....
Ana, Baptiste, D.Va, Mercy, Pharah, Reinhardt, Roadhog and Zarya have military/paramilitary training (which would include some combat training)
brig has some training from rein too right?
She stands a chance against omnics so must be pretty strong
Ashe is more of a marksman than a fighter
Plus she beat 2 people with mechs while herself having none
and Mei has no combat training at all
so Mei would be the weakest human
in a fistfight
based on known feats, Roadhog, JQ and Zarya would be the best in a fight, with Zarya being the strongest non-augmented human
Mei probably has a lot of endurance though, given that she was based in one of the most inhospitable places on earth
strength takes different forms
I'd argue that Mei is the strongest emotionally, because after all she's been through she's still a cheerful person
unlike Illari, who went through something similar and turned bitter and angry
Definitely. I just wonder how physically strong she must be to be able to go out and research. Maybe she'd be able to take on some of the smaller characters like Tracer or Sombra even if she's less experienced
This is assuming we're still talking about a fist fight
or maybe she was bitter and angry to start with
the original question was in terms of a fistfight
Where would Mercy and Moira stand?
i would be scared of moira in a fist fight
have u seen them nails
she’ll scratch ur eye out
Maybe but isn't she literally withering away? I'm not sure she'd be able to actually hit that hard
I think Tracer (military background) and Sombra (street kid/gang member) would be decent fighters
Mercy would be pretty weak without her suit
winston in ult has a stronger punch than doom with fist, shown by the doomfist cinematic
so winston is defo up there
cause doom can beat tracer and genji
I'm not too familiar with martial arts and other organised fighting sports but wouldn't weight class have a pretty big impact?
i feel like ult shouldnt really be taken into account given this is supposed to be a no augmentation fist fight
yeah
well winston is still a gorilla so he's still strong af
yea
Winston is definitely the strongest non-Omnic, I don't think that's debatable
yeah
yeah
Ball is a hamster. Even if he's a big hamster, he's gonna get squished.
Looking at Sombra now, she's low-key kinda jacked
just punt him
like a little fuzzy football
Ana would be on the lower end of the rankings, due to her age
but still a formidable fighter
she was able to take down Reaper (although he wasnt really fighting back)
same with Hanzo fighting Genji - Hanzo had the upper hand until Genji started to actually try, then Genji overpowered him easily
How strong do we reckon Echo is?
as strong as she needs to be
Do we just assume it's a mirror match?
she is a robot, so she has a strength advantage
and she can learn anything, so she has a skill advantage (given enough prep time)
see, this is my problem with hypothetical fistfights - I think too much about the character not just the stats
We could just simplify it down to "who would do the most damage in a single punch"
On a scale from "Ow!" to literally dead
I once spent a boring day at work thinking about who would win in a fistfight between Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne, only to come to the conclusion that they would have no reason to fight each other
Kinda reminds me of a song from an Australian comedy trio
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny?
Nah, "Hot Girl in the Comic Shop" by Tripod
lol
new pfp?
I think in a hypothetical free-for-all between the regular humans, it would come down to JQ and Roadhog slugging it out
For sure
Late to the conversation
But
I was talking about this in a server a couple months ago
Though Brig could probably hold her own for a while
We were saying who’d win no powers between mercy and Moira
i think in brigs weight class she would do pretty well
And they were saying mercy would win bevwuse she had combat training since she was in ow
But if ow ppl get combat training, Moira would’ve gotten it also for talon + black watch
So who’d win?
Mercy because she's not decaying
i think moira is more bloodthirsty so probably her
I feel like moira has the advantage of ermmm
short hair and nails
But idk how brittle her nails are
Woild probably break
Instead of stab
well like what counts as no powers?
because moira has some reaper stuff
and without the reaper stuff she probably would have a normal arm
yeah
No powers basically mean they can’t use their powers at all
Moira can’t use any of her suck/release
Mercy can’t like
Nvm I said it wrong
I didn’t mean no powers
I meant like fistfight
so mercy doesnt have her suit?
Nope
idk i dont see mercy winning ngl
moira is bloodthirsty and mercy probably isnt willing to kill moira
I feel like sigma wouldn’t win because I don’t think he actually knows how to use his powers in lore?
We don’t know what biolight can do exactly, we don’t know if it can be injected with some poison or suck life out of the ground so i don’t think he’d win at this point of time
But if lifeweaver could make some huge tree that sucks life of ppl then he’d have a good chance
yeah it depends on the battleground
Sym could really eat
yeah
The issue is Orisa, she’s a omnic but we don’t know how her limits is
yeah
Would a widow head snipe kill Orisa?
probably not?
Can ram in some scenario be able to rip her head??
orisa can withstand doom punches right?
She just seems do sturdy
I never read the book so idk
Idk about illari
We don’t know how far her power goes
Plus it’d be a battle royale, a huge blinding target for everyone to see
i dont know about illaris power
the most destructive thing shes done was only done with a massive machine like powering her or something so
is there an overwatch lore book 
Many
One coming out Nov 7, just after Blizzcon

!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
bud stop
😦
im just glad i can finally do the command now
What is talon's objective? I understand that they have many "leaders" and each leader wants something different, like doomfist wants the world to be stronger through conflict, and reaper wants to kill previous overwatch members, but what is talon's objective as a whole?
to make humanity evolve through conflict, by causing a second omnic crisis
doom's thing is talon's thing bc he leads the entire organization
reaper isnt a "leader" i dont think, but he's part of the inner council so he knows the details and whatnot
ah so doomfist is the main leader, and others like reaper and maximllien, etc are in the inner council
yeah
If you saw invincible I imagine doomfist wants humanity to evolve like the viltrumites did
I dont watch many movies unfortunately
It’s a series lol
you can tell I dont watch movies and series 😶🌫️
Is Jack Morrison a parent?
who would be his child
Not that we know off, atleast no biological children cuz hes gay snd didnt even have time for a boyfriend
What about Vincent
Their relationship only ended because soldier faked his own death after Swiss explosion
That’s badass
He must have some kind of a leader position to land himself on the council tho right?
Not like second in command but something
No he ended it before it
Jack's relationship with Vincent ended during the Omnic Crisis, ~28 years ago
which makes the fact that he still has Vincent's photo in his pocket a little sad
Very sad but well just a bit of dramatic story telling
Widow killed mondatta
widow killed mondotta in alive
Not zen
Set your sights on the second animated short in our four-part series: Alive! Then play FREE during the Open Beta May 5-9: http://blizz.ly/1U5gi77
"Alive" weaves a tale of Widowmaker, the peerless Talon assassin who stalks her prey with deadly efficiency. In this episode, we spend a fateful night in London’s King’s Row—where you’ll discover ho...
I know a lot about the lore in this game but I don’t know what’s happening rn
They all know each other and one is good and one is bad
How are they working together
who?
The legends

pvp isnt canon
she doesnt have doom in her custody
shes just in numbani
doom is uhh somewhere
we'll get updates on him with the next set of pve probably
How are they even working together
Isn't he in Monaco?
In the games we play
pvp isnt canon
yes
Ohhhh
the main pvp isnt canon
stuff like archives is canon though
and some pve is canon its a case by case basis there
How does mercy look young
which voicelines?
They say that she has ent aged a day
It’s just a compliment
No
mei was frozen for 9 years so shes biologically 33 but she was born 42 year ago
Do you know the vl I’m taking about
the not aged a day thing is probably just a compliment though
Yes ik what about mercy
Mercy is 39
she looks young because she takes good care of herself and 39 isn't that old
20 years before recall?
mercy was 17 here right?
yes
Its a joke voice line. It’s mercy that says to Mei “you haven’t aged a day” and then she casually responds with how she literally hasn’t aged.
there's two versions
I'm pretty sure her tech slows down her aging slightly
Or is that just fanon
i thought one of the writers said that all chars age normally
it's just fanon
Ahh mb
whos the guy on the far left
from right to left i can tell it's
sjrn - cass - mercy - torb - rein - soldier - pharah - ana - reaper - ???
we don't know yet
if its someone from the roster it might be genji
ah
he would have that cocky smile tho
if he was there
i love how it feels weird seeing mercy in casual clothes but not rein shirtless
why was she there if she was 17,
why was zenyatta meditating? is he stupid
what do you mean?
i imagine she wasnt In overwatch at the age of 17, so why is she in the picture
she was in overwatch at 17
she wasn't in Overwatch at 17
she was there visiting Torbjorn
she didn't join Overwatch until her early 20s
oh mb so she became the head of medical research at like 20-25ish?
yes
Wait rein is actually shirtless here I never noticed
Wait no, I think he just has really tight suit
Overwatch really love their form hugging clothing, don't they?
It's most efficient for battle or combat generally
To an extent, sure, but the Overwatch outfits are pretty extreme with how tight they are.
Mf needs to download Grindr
What’s wrong with meditating?
How does that make him stupid?
You’re not answering my question
Nothing suggests that they should be traveling together. They’re seperate because their views differ. Sure, they might meet again eventually, but I don’t think they necessarily belong together
bro im not serious
Something I completely missed is how do echo and Cas know each other
cass was friends with echos creator iirc
he was in overwatch with liao and i thought he met echo in ow?
that would imply being serious
Ohhh okay thank you
Cassidy was assigned to be Dr. Liao's bodyguard, but they became friends
i have no idea how the le sserafim skins are gonna fit into the lore
but i’m so excited
People already came up with potential matches but it’s not confirmed
It wouldn’t
crossovers aren't canon
How did Reyes get his powers
Moira messed with his genetics
4 real
Do you think they're gonna bring back the OW1 archives missions? retribution, null sector mission, and I think one of them was called storm rising or something
I sure hope so
I also hope. But they have to re-record a lot of voice-lines from Retribution
Why?
Because they refer to Cassidy as McCree and that's problematic
Oooh right
I still refer to him as McCree ngl
it also has a pretty cool meaning in arabic
It sounds like a word that means "Cunning" or "Deceiving"
it's best to get used to calling him Cassidy
holding on to the old name makes you look like you're siding with abusers
Yeah..
i hope they bring back archives. i wanna hear my boy reyes again....
I was waiting a whole year for archives and still waiting
I hope too
Archives was a banger
Good evening, Commander Reyes.
Btw why is moira blackwatch Skin unavailable
It’s PlayStation exclusive now sadly, or for the time being atleast
Huh
It was the PlayStation plus a couple months ago
I hate how they gatekeep ow1 skins for Amazon prime/ PlayStation/ etc
Yeah same, I really wanted tracer willowisp but it’s locked behind ps now :(
And it’s really good skins too like dva surfer, rein conductor
They should do it with skins like owl mercy because you could still get it even if you don’t have ps
Hopefully they don't continue doing that. Well, they won't with PS but I mean I hope they don't do the same thing but XBOX exclusive instead
do you guys think that winston secretly has a relationship with genji and they have love in the basement
no.

@dense lodge Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
it was a just a suggestion jeez
Speak your truth harry
it was still shitposting
i wonder how many shitposts this channel gets per week
UR PFP 😭😭😭
what are the chances of genji and hanzo meeting again?
I’d say high since Hanzo is getting involved with fighting null sector
reinhardt was born 2015, he might have been a skibidi toilet fan
we don't know what year he was born
Makes sense
If he was born in 2015, Overwatch 2 would take place in 2078. But we don't know.
It feels weird knowing that I’d be older than sigma in the ow universe
Most of us are older than ow heroes
I'll be about 74
your pfp is extraordinary. catmattra
Thank you lol
My friend found it a while ago and knew I love Ramattra so he sent it to me
W friend
that’s cattra
Plot Twist: Ball is 16 In Hampster years
what are hamster years?
Hammond is 16 in human years
Y’all remember when someone from blizzard (think is was either Jeff or Aaron) said bastion was important to the lore of OW?
I’m trying to figure out what they meant, because he doesn’t seem to important rn
What’s the story about Echo ? Where did she come from
Well, there's the fact that he's the last of the Bastion units, there's Torb who is studying and figuring out the design and programming behind him and omnics as a whole, and then Sombra has an interaction with him about how he has some really deep encryption
Didn’t torb make bastion units in the past because he was in sst laboratories or whatever it was called
Yes iirc he worked on bastions and titans
She was made by Dr Liao
Does anyone know how mcree lost his arm
I don’t think we were ever told
Fair enough
ash ate it
it was sometime after overwatch fell because he has it in blackwatch right?
Yes
yes, and they need to be bigger. The big toe needs to have warts on it and a broken nail.

He floats
his feet should be small and baby soft because he never uses them
I think we should count how many times someone has brought up sigmas feet in the lore channel
Lmfao wtf😭
The real question is why Doctor Six is going along with it 😭
The Shimada brothers (not biased)
I think it had something to do with an explosion or maybe when Cass and Ashe fought
going along with what?
we don't know why Cassidy lost his arm, only that it wash't because of Ashe/Bob
Holding the urge to not say a joke about the arm
the sigma feet thing
the topic felt like satire in the first place (imo)
it is
so i didn't think you'd partake in it
that was what my comment was about
The reason they gave as to why he doesn't wear shoes still rubs me the wrong way
yeah it's not great
what was the reasoning
because he was inspired by a mental patient, and mental patients in institutions have their shoes taken away
More important to me is why does he still appear so buff if he's not using his muscles... he should be atrophied and withered
In guess unless he works out but doesn't seem like he does
It was based on an ableist assumption that "asylum" patients can't be trusted with shoes
What are we talking abt here?
the reasoning behind sigma's missing shoes
well the reasoning is stated a few texts back
i see
At the very least he would've been given socks, it's unhygienic to walk barefoot everywhere
I'm talking about when he was being treated. The reason he doesn't wear any footwear now is because he got used to the feeling of not wearing any
as influenced as it might be, it may also just be his natural preference
I'd be fine with that, but at the time during interviews they explicitly said that he doesn't wear shoes because when he was in an "asylum" (in quotes because it's a word that people have moved away from already) he wasn't allowed shoes
except he wasn't even in an asylum
Which makes it even more baffling
Upon returning to Earth, De Kuiper was quarantined in a secret government facility. Between his ravings about the patterns of the universe, the nonlinear nature of time, and the gravitic anomalies happening around him, he was deemed unsafe and detained for years under the name "Subject Sigma." Isolated and unable to control his powers, De Kuiper retreated into his own mind.
he was more a science experiment
If they just didn't say anything about their reasoning for why he doesn't wear shoes, it wouldn't have been controversial
I will admit, it's been a long time since I've looked into his backstory and the talks around it from when he released so I've definitely remembered some things wrong (thanks for correcting me)
you got their explanation right, their explanation just doesn't make sense for the lore he was given
Either way, at this point I feel I'm moving away from lore and into drama territory so I'm happy to leave the discussion at that
yeah thats the term
thx
if any hero has PTSD, it would be Baptiste
he shows a few signs of it in his short story
yeah
it is kinda... bad the reason they didnt give sigma shoes
i do find it rpetty funny that is seems he actively dislikes wearing them though
he has a few lines when he's wearing a skin with shoes that are like. "can i take them off now?"
and when doom kills him he sometimes goes "you still refuse footwear?"
If he was in an asylum it would have been more realistic for all of his skins to have the little “shoe” sock things lol
I SWEAR THEY WERE FAKE
ive never heard them in game but theyre on thd wiki i think
Does the lore mention Widows gigantic ass and its size? (School purposes)
no
Isn’t this shitposting
since when does overwatch have lore
since forever
Every game has lore
Ping pong
Table tennis (also known as ping-pong) is a racket sport derived from tennis but distinguished by its playing surface being atop a stationary table, rather than the court on which players stand. Either individually or in teams of two, players take alternating turns returning a light, hollow ball over the table's net onto the opposing half of the...
I meant the video game
Its not a video game, its a sport
are junkrat and roadhog kicked out from junkertown only
or the whole place
like new junk city too
Pretty sure I saw a wanted poster for those two in new junk city
I could be tripping tho
the whole place
so is junkertown just like... a single district in new junk city? or?
yes
i see i see
SOMEONE PLS Join me and my friend to beat my brother in a 3v2 we can talk fnaf lore after
May be a dumb question, but was Widows sense of touch affected by Talons experiments?
no
How intelligent is Sombra? Has she had success with her mission of getting knowledge?
she's the world's best hacker so i imagine she's pretty smart
tbf idc tho, i honestly dont see a problem eitherway
the point of shoes are to not be harmed or effected by stuff on the ground. he flies, so whatever
I think the words “feet” or “foot” should be muted in this channel
It’s so annoying having to hear about sigmas feet every 4 hours
Junkertown is like entrance district I guess
Btw, in junk city theres a lot of posters with some doors and theyre apparently property of the queen and off limits, what are those?
toes
toenails
she cant really zip through someone
aw that’s lame
Tracer speeds up her own time
Y’know, I’ve always wondered since time travel is quite literally a thing, and in the OW lore they ALMOST cracked the code, will that plot point ever come back?
i thought the slipstream thing was just a plane that was meant to like go fast
i didnt think it was originally supposed to be time travel
it's not time travel in the traditional sense
Well, it’s still kind of a thing
We’ve only ever heard mention of it in tracer lore and nowhere else
it's unique to her
Yeah
But you think they’d at least MENTION it somewhere seeing as the slipstream was such an advanced creation
the project was probably abandoned after the accident and deemed too dangerous to continue
Who would win, Genji or Tracer? I heard that they used to spar during Blackwatch days
And Genji seems to sort of respect her as a rival
Tracer
When people ask a “who would in a fight between X and X?” I always ask them “why?”
Motivation and reasoning in fights are just as important as how the fighters fight, for lack of a better term. If they’re fighting just to fight, it’s really a coin toss. But if they’re fighting for a cause, it’s way more interesting and easier to determine.
Bionicle lore is better
!!shitposting
Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
okay
Ah ahit
just read liao's noted on echo and man. man. man.
i do find it kinda interesting how echo isnt sentient bc if she's a super advanced learning ai. does it evdn matter if she jsnt "sentient" anymore
what differentiates her Really Good Acting vs an actual omnic's sentience at that point
Only Aurora was made with sentience I guess we never found out what Liao did differently with her
Liao didn't even know
her notes mention it being like. a quantum event that probably will never be replicated, or something
Oh my god, just like that particle from the sun messing with the SM64 speedrunner
She’s so mean:(
good
Probably disappointed he didn’t join oasis
I love the way she has like 7 new kill quotes for him and he has none 😭😭
He has
He chuckles and says “basic biology”
Did lucio level up on fortnite this weekend
You guys ever write overwatch ocs? I’ve made like one.
The reasoning behind my question is that the two mentioned heroes actually sparred often, not just as a random power scale type question
Well there’s a difference between sparring a fighting. Sparring is more of a friendly thing, both participants holding themselves back greatly as to not injure their opponent too badly.
Although they’re not the same, if someone wins a lot via sparring, it’s likely that they’ll also win a lot if they fight for real. I was inquisitive because the results of those sparring matches were never specified
Winning also depends on the opponent. But besides that, it’s stated by Soldier:76 in an voice line upon eliminating tracer; “You had so much potential!” Which probably means tracer was a pretty good fighter. In a comic it’s shown that tracer and GENJI sparred, and in that same comic tracer won
Well duh, tracer can singlehandedly break the laws of physics to her advantage
I think Genji would win, due to more experience and training
How is he gonna predict her blink
Doom managed to do it, I feel like Genji would have a chance
Doom also beat the shit out of Genji
Oh yeah ik
Dont forget doom beat genji
Ik but we were talking about Genji vs tracer, if doom could predict tracer’s blinks, Genji might be able too cos he has good levels of focus and concentration
Yeah but doom is good reference, doom had more trouble with fighting tracer than genji so
Yeah that’s a good point
Monky beats all three
Yeah, Winston is one of the strongest in lore
Winston IS the strongest in lore
Doomfist’s gauntlet is said to level skyscrapers, and Winston can break the gauntlet Soo
Bc he got the strongest tool in the universe
Plot armor
Angy
Every character has plot armor in OW 
Not mondatta
F
Anyway
Didn't they flirt with the idea of killing a playable character a couple years ago?
I wonder if that's still on the table
Which
if anyone dies, and that is a very hard if, i imagine itd be one of the villains
like reaper or something
It’s interesting to see Winston’s power level
