there were 3

#

Uprising, Retribution and Storm Rising

viral tendon
# peak escarp there were 3

Atp why don’t they bring those three to ow2 cuz al the new players can experience the best part of the game and to sorta make up for the lack of new pve

peak escarp
#

they should

hushed jetty
#

they should remaster them, even

#

make them Better

peak escarp
#

agreed

#

make use of those extra areas in the maps

past copper
#

They might as well bring ‘em back

#

If they’re not gonna continue story missions, might as well bring back the archive missions

viral tendon
#

plus they still have all the rewards in the shops

golden oak
#

Fr like, they literally brought back every ow1 event EXCEPT archives

#

So dumb

fallow ivy
#

soooo overwatch is set around 2076. during overwatch, sigma is 64. this means he was probably born around 2012 and might have grown up to skibidi toilet, explaining his schizophrenia

peak escarp
#

he's not schizophrenic

past copper
#

Lore-discussion isn’t one of them

#

These are sick and all, but you would think Sombra got one

#

She does have a Los Muertos skin after all

sharp trench
#

what maps aren't associated with the lore in any way

peak escarp
#

how do you mean?

sharp trench
#

like that have no real connection to the main lore

#

characters and heroes

#

I dont see how blizzard world is connected, nor Hollywood

past copper
#

Well, some of the death match maps aren’t really strong in the lore area

peak escarp
#

Junkenstein's Revenge is a story Reinhardt told at a halloween party

golden oak
#

You don’t see echo or sym getting a hard light weapon skin, guess why

#

Btw I don’t think any hero with their arms/hands as weapons are gonna get any weapon skins

#

For obvious reasons

past copper
#

It might depend what they come up with for weapon skins

#

Wasn’t there a cinematic in storyt mode that showed widow maker and somber coming back to zenyatta saying that’s the job was done or something along those lines

#

I swear I remember something like that being revealed in story mode

peak escarp
#

they said "we found him"

#

it was at the end of the Invasion missions

empty jacinth
#

What did that whole thing mean

#

Didn’t wid kill him tho in the first place.

peak escarp
#

she killed Mondatta

#

Zenyatta's mentor

#

Widow and Sombra are there to capture Zenyatta

empty jacinth
#

Ohhh I thought zen hired them to get mondatta

opaque tundra
#

bruh

#

where do you ppl hear these things

#

im talking about this whole "zen evil" misinformation i keep hearing

#

yeah exactly

#

mmmmmm i'd say he has good intentions but yeah

#

if you wanna learn about overwatch lore, look at the official stuff and ignore other social media

#

thats speculation

#

its not confirmed

#

yeah

#

but tis

#

still

#

speculation

#

you can be a villian and still have good intentions

#

its usually called being misguided

#

have you seen the ramattra dev updates? or read his short story>

peak escarp
#

he's not trying to take over the world

#

he's trying to make the world safe for Omnics

#

which is a good intention

#

but he's doing bad things to achieve it

opaque tundra
#

its purposely a very complex moral issue

#

he's not inherently evil but he's not inherently good either

#

its a false interpretation i'd say

keen summit
#

we were right, venture got a song

worn latch
#

Dude venture is adorable 😭😭😭

#

Their little wave animation I'm sobbing

keen summit
#

WAIT THO

worn latch
#

It looks like they get a slow penalty after coming out of the ground ?

keen summit
#

ANUBIS

#

THEY SAW ANUBIS

#

we gonna ignore the fact they went to anubis?

#

Tmrw

keen summit
worn latch
#

They're adorable

peak escarp
#

definitely Anubis

keen summit
# peak escarp

yeah i know, more that its there, meaning probs either map for it which does look like it or... yknow lore

peak escarp
#

yes

peak escarp
#

since Hanamura got remade into Hanaoka

keen summit
#

however, it kinda seems like anubis being rebuilt

peak escarp
#

Venture's name is Sloane Cameron

keen summit
#

we know anubis is being held n all

peak escarp
#

I like that name

#

that's their last name

spare fox
#

I wonder if they're a mixed race/biracial character

#

That'd be cool bc we have so few of those

peak escarp
#

all we know is that their nationality is Canadian

#

I'm hoping for First Nations ancestry

worn latch
#

I love them

#

SAME

#

They're gonna be my new main

#

He'll be my side piece for now

#

I want a tank more similar to roadhog

#

We get so many loud ass tanks

#

I want them to be quiet for once

spare fox
#

Ngl tho their voice is kind of annoying, like a 90s Saturday morning cartoon character

#

Venture's

grand osprey
#

i kind of grew to actually like mauga though

#

i think i disliked him at first because of how op he was

#

then they made him free and nerfed him loll

hushed jetty
#

VENTURE IS REAAAAAAL

#

the anubis junpscare at the end.....

torpid egret
#

wait is venture getting an animated short??

peak escarp
#

not that we know of

grand osprey
#

no offense but their backstory seems kind of uninteresting

#

saying that with no knowledge

#

💯

peak escarp
#

we don't know their backstory yet

worthy rose
#

It kinda looks like it bight be tomb raider or indiana jones ? Idrk thi jus a vibe porobably

torpid egret
#

I heard somewhere that they were part of an archaeology group that got stranded, kinda like mei? Would be interested to see if they can relate at all

peak escarp
#

they're part of Wayfinder Society

#

not stranded though

#

it's the group excavating Petra and Ilios

hushed jetty
peak escarp
#

they say it at the beginning of the trailer

#

"Sloane Cameron reporting."

hushed jetty
#

ohhhh

warped swift
#

Tracer cuzo

#

Is what I’m thinking lol

peak escarp
#

what

hushed jetty
#

theyre saying they think venture is tracer's cousin

#

i am unsure where they got that idea from

peak escarp
#

they don't even look alike

native gulch
#

#

What?

spare fox
#

... I'm pretty sure they don't mean literally blood related

azure bluff
#

So... How big is it that someone got to Anubis? It's been awhile but wasn't it sealed away and heavily guarded?

peak escarp
#

it's probably just a reveal for the trailer, not something that actually happened

azure bluff
#

True. Shame, some story progression would be nice

native gulch
#

There’s this thing called foreshadowing

azure bluff
#

"Foreshadowing is a narrative device..."

past copper
#

In trying to figure out why it turned against humanity

#

The Temple of Anubis is locked up tighter and more secure then Elon’s bank account

azure bluff
#

I don't think it's hard to figure out why a sentient AI would turn against humanity

past copper
#

That said, I bet it’s teasing one of the new maps coming back. An expanded Temple of Anubis

#

If they can expand Hanamura, you know other old 2CP maps can be two

azure bluff
#

Ultimately (no pun intended) Overwatch's overarching story is about humanity and both the calamities we've caused and the hope for change we can bring

#

Gameplay wise, almost definitely a tease for the reworked temple of Anubis

#

Super hyped about these maps coming, Hanamura in particular has always been the map I think of when someone mentions the game

past copper
#

It would make sense to revamp this old map

peak escarp
#

that's what I'm expecting

#

since Hanamura got remade

past copper
#

All lot has changed since this map was designed. Especially what Anubis looks like

peak escarp
#

it's not that different, just updated to the modern Overwatch aesthetic

past copper
#

Well, since they won’t do story anymore, how’s about at least giving us something good with these new maps

#

Like bringing in that weather affect they never got off the ground

#

Players would love if the environment felt more natural and alive

#

Like a sandstorm on Temple of Anubis. A Blizzard in Volskaya Industries

#

Hmmm. I don’t know which map would look better with rain. Hanamura maybe?

#

Hmm. Curious to know if Horizon Lunar Colony could make a return with an updated map too

#

Hammond’s short certainly hinted at changes going on on the moon base

peak escarp
#

seems like it

#

it's not a map we currently have, and it's unlikely to be for a story mission

golden oak
#

Probably Anubis map remake

#

For clash

hushed jetty
#

i sure hope it is

native gulch
#

Anubis was fun

hushed jetty
#

we're getting a hanaoka playtest at the start of the season, maybe if we pray, we get reworked anubis too

native gulch
#

Can’t wait for tomorrow

#

How long’s the play test running for anyhow

peak escarp
#

we don't know

#

unless you mean the Venture playtest

#

which is from March 28-31

past copper
#

They’re probably running the playtest get feedback

#

It is a new mode. But it seems a little confusing

#

Honestly, probably would’ve been simpler to just make it Flashpoint

#

Also, I’m noticing a future Collab with Venture in the game

#

Overwatch x Avatar

#

Can you just imagine Toph Venture

native gulch
past copper
#

I will say this though, they legit gave a mini shatter to Venture

#

Reinhardt mains are gonna go stupid with that combo. I guarantee it

peak escarp
#

it's not really mini

hushed jetty
#

its more like a beefy seismic slam from what i can tell

#

it doesnt seem to stun

peak escarp
#

also, we're getting off topic

past copper
#

I mean, it didn’t really look like a good shot. We don’t really know if it’s a stun or kill ability I don’t think

hushed jetty
#

ermmmm lore am i right

#

i cant wait to see who venture is friends with

#

theyre so silly

peak escarp
#

I think they'd get along well with Mei

past copper
#

Although, I’m now terrified of Venture. They’re an overall booping hero 😱

#

Eh. But they’re cool looking. Can’t wait to learn more about them

#

Also, I can see interactions with Junkrat and Roadhog. Those two traveled the world

#

Who’s to say they didn’t go to Petra or something for a little treasure hunting

#

Either that, or Venture asks Junkrat about his “treasure”

worn latch
#

I need them to have an interaction with weaver before I go crazy

amber smelt
#

At least we don’t have Brocken hit boxes

tacit yoke
#

I aint gonna argue w that

#

its probably to support consoles

keen summit
# worn latch Junkrat

"hey so like we need BIG scale excavations, any ideas?"
"How about an anti-sand bomb"
"So a bomb?"
"YES, BUT BIG"

past copper
#

Looking closer, I think Venture’s ult is an instakill over a stun

#

But it’s hard to say based off a gameplay trailer if you can’t see people’s health bars

keen summit
#

Its just dmg

#

It legit says it in description of abilities

past copper
#

Actually, I think it might be multi shot not just one shot

keen summit
#

We really dont know

#

Trailers make it look op, dont trust those

past copper
#

So, different from Rein’s. But only by a bit

peak escarp
keen summit
#

And not right place to talk bout this

stray swift
#

is it known where in canada venture is from?

#

just curious

hushed jetty
#

not yet

peak escarp
#

their French VA speaks with a Quebecois accent, and the song that played during their trailer was from a band from Manitoba... either of those could be a hint at Venture's province of origin, or they could just be coincidental

hushed jetty
#

i KNEW they were gonna be from quebec
i sensed it on them

#

well i guess its still not confirmed. but the signs are there

viral tendon
#

I’m not sure if we’ve spoken about it but what side do you think ventures gonna be on? Cuz they seem like mischievous judging by their voice and mannerisms in the trailer like talon/ overwatch? Or a neutral force

keen summit
#

and we are yet to see implications of them finding anubis, if its just for hype for a map or whatever, if its inlore canon etc

viral tendon
#

Ohhh yeah they coming out April 16? Innit?

keen summit
#

yes but we can try today

spare fox
#

I think it's possible they might be sought out by Talon potentially for what they know. Or potentially used by Anubis

#

But I don't see them willingly siding with Talon or Anubis for any gain

keen summit
#

the character doesnt seem like the type theyd want for that plot line

#

too easy going positive n all

spare fox
#

Yeah

#

Possibly they found Anubis and whoever they're working for has darker motivations - that could work

keen summit
#

(OOOOOOR what if anubis is creating a second body without others knowing??)

spare fox
#

Anubis learns so it's learned from last time it was defeated. Now it's going to adapt in order to win this time

gilded dragon
#

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

spare fox
#

It's basically capable of anything

keen summit
#

hmmm well we'll have to see

#

ive said since a while that theyll likely keep anubis in pack pocket so they can eventually bring it back for new conflict

spare fox
#

No doubt about that

#

I also wonder about those 2 other projects of Dr. Liao's. There was Aurora, Athena, Echo, and two others we don't yet know about per Declassified

#

I wonder if one of or both of them will be involved in this conflict

keen summit
#

funny how it fits with a hero concept i made

#

as a failed experiment of liao

spare fox
#

Moira has an interaction with Echo, commenting on how Liao was more taken with (Echo's) predecessor. We're lead to assume she means Aurora, but it's left ambiguous and I suspect that's on purpose

I never understood Winston using a Tesla cannon or his ultimate. Since he’s a straight up gorilla shouldn’t him throwing hands technically be one of the strongest physical attacks like

#

Sometimes I forget Winston is a literal gorilla. A genetically enhanced one

#

Physically. Amongst every hero in the game. Isn’t he the strongest. Strength wise?

hushed jetty

he throws hands when he gets angry

even a non-augmented gorilla is stronger than most humans

he's Brazilian

He was supposed to be canadian, then they changed him to brazilian

peak escarp

incorrect

#

that is a myth

stiff zephyr
#

Is it??

peak escarp
#

he was never planned to be Canadian

stiff zephyr
#

So I'm guessing that's like the "Mercy never ages" myth the community made up

peak escarp
#

he likes hockey because the devs like hockey

#

also he wears skates

so it was a natural fit

We know what part of Canada they're from specifically?

it's probably winston or orisa

like overall

yes sigma has gravity powers but we don't know the limit of what he can do. if he has no limits then yes he's the strongest but we dont know that

still happy for the characters tho:D

hed literally be perfect for a show btw

like he BELONGS in an anime with those voicelines

"death has travled light years to take you"

#

such peak voicelines

hushed jetty
#

he's a fan favorite though and tbh its deserved

smoky nymph
#

also a character that control gravity deserves fight scenes

doesnt matter what type of show

its a must

#

you cannot tell me sigma wouldnt be a great character for a show tbh

he's kinda just a silly little guy

🤷‍♂️ never played TF, so I wouldn’t know. Only know most people from that community argue that Overwatch stole their everything from TF

smoky nymph
#

i think you could set a slurs per hour record in cod voicechat

past copper
#

But whatever. It’s not important

smoky nymph
#

any similarities will make people cry that another game copied theres

#

that and weve kinda made so many things that its basically impossible to not use things that have already been made

#

idk why ppl act like its a bad thing

past copper
#

Well, most shooter games aim to be on the same level as Overwatch, but just can’t compete. But fr, this ain’t lore

smoky nymph
#

they aim to be on the level overwatch was but its in a solid state now

#

i still love the game

#

sad that the companies greed fucks over the game and story a lot

past copper
#

I mean, Overwatch is still in a high level

#

And not just bc of the game

#

They have animated shorts, comics, short stories, books, etc.

#

All of which is unique to Overwatch thanks to the lore to the game. Which sadly other games struggle to do themselves

#

And it helps when Overwatch’s lore continues to grow

That’s honestly hilarious

#

Mauga n venture having matching lines is unexpected

spare fox
#

yeah I find it curious because, contextually, the "finders keepers"/"losers weepers" exchange involves an object desired by both parties

#

idk I wonder if there's more to the exchange because otherwise it doesn't make too much sense as a taunt

hushed jetty
#

there has to be some lore behind it we have yet to discover

spare fox
#

yes, but it's curious because "finders keepers" is a specific taunt used when something (or someone) is found and the person is claiming ownership

#

so, wonder if there's a yet-to-be-revealed lore reason for that

golden oak
#

Maybe mauga finding some artefact underwater (or at the volcano) that Venture was going for

#

who was 76s bf?

#

oh wow a google search tells me his ex bf got married to someone else. feels sad man

#

the one that got away 😦

#

Also mauga and baptiste had a thing right?

#

cute af couples in this game

subtle token
#

I have a question

hushed jetty
#

you can interpret it any way you want

#
  1. we dont know
  2. we dont know
#

i imagine theyre in their 20s

#

they dont seem very old

#

as for their sex i dont think theyre ever gonna tell us (and frankly i hope they dont)

regal hamlet
#

ok but who has a crush on venture in the loreeee?

hushed jetty
#

brotha theyve existed for 4 days

#

how should we know

#

chances are, no one

subtle token
hushed jetty
#

they just sound like that, the VA kinda sounds like that too

itll just lead to More Accurate transphobia

and even if they are trans, why would that matter lol

# hushed jetty itll just lead to More Accurate transphobia

I personally wasn’t asking questions with any malicious intent. I just got a morning from a mod that asking questions like that is transphobic…. I was literally asking about a character in a video game and this is the lore discussion…

hushed jetty
#

im not saying You're transphobic, im saying that's just what knowing their sex would lead to

subtle token
hushed jetty
#

idk, im not a mod

subtle token
#

This is lore discussion about a video game character.

#

They even deleted my messages whaaaat

hushed jetty
#

i guess it came off as transphobic

#

its generally not a good idea to ask about a trans/nonbinary character's sex

#

bc it kinda sounds like you're going "but what are they REALLY?" even if thats not what you meant

subtle token
#

In the message they said person but it’s not even a real life human. I’m pretty salty about the warning ngl.. I even used their correct pronouns and everything.

hushed jetty
#

just bc it isnt a real person doesnt mean you shouldnt be respectful
its just a weird question i suppose

subtle token
#

Ok I won’t ask questions like that again.

#

It wasn’t with malicious intent. I just like to know things.

merry token
#

And now you know that that’s something you don’t need to know 😇

MODS STEPPED DOWN

merry token
#

Their writer intended for them to have previously been a couple/situationship, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of the lore team agreed with that and made them canon

viral tendon
hushed jetty
#

yeah but that doesnt mean the line doesnt imply anything

#

they certainly come off as weird exes if you squint

#

like when we say "voice lines aren't canon" it just means that the conversation hasnt necessarily happened, not that the info revealed in the lines isnt true

hushed jetty
#

i mean. clearly not 😭 we See how he reacts when baptiste is the topic

drifting viper
#

Why would mauga be gay

pure geyser
#

Cause yes

hushed jetty
#

he just has that aura

peak escarp
#

there's no evidence of Mauga's sexual preference

hushed jetty
#

i think id like him to be bi or something, partially bc i think itd be funny as hell if he was into zarya

peak escarp
#

he is a fan of hers

drifting viper
#

So hes straight

worn latch
#

Being a fan of an extremely strong woman doesn't mean ur straight

#

Doesn't even mean he's attracted to her

#

There's 0 evidence either way

hushed jetty
worn latch
#

All of mauga's sexuality is just speculation

hushed jetty
#

i wonder if theyre going to confirm more identities this june

worn latch
#

Same with majority of the other characters

hushed jetty
#

some people think that the image of a bunch of heroes at the end of venture's gameplay trailer might be forshadowing queer zarya

#

bc all the people standing there, except zarya, were previously confirmed to be queer

worn latch
hushed jetty
#

insane if true

drifting viper
#

When did they make baptiste gay

worn latch
#

Zarya get away from them I'll save you

hushed jetty

drifting viper
hushed jetty
#

unorthodox ship for sure but such is the nature of shipping

worn latch
#

I have never heard of that before

#

Although ramattra and baptiste is kind of common

hushed jetty
#

is it?

drifting viper
#

Imo reaper should leave talon and go see his family

peak escarp
#

this isn't the place for shipping

drifting viper
#

why hasnt he already

hushed jetty
#

his wife thinks he's dead

#

and has alreayd moved on

#

i do not think its happening 💀

pure geyser
#

I ship reaper x a happy life

#

Give my man something to smile about dammit

drifting viper
#

make him and 76 be friends again

#

get the old overwatch members back together

hushed jetty
#

he's kinda an awful person but i think he should get a smile at some point perhaps

#

end his pain maybe

drifting viper
#

she would probably be happy if she learnt he was still alive

hushed jetty
#

maybe not if she learnt he was a terrorist 😭

drifting viper
#

I forgot about that part

pure geyser
#

Well he at least deserves a smile

#

Give him a cupcake

drifting viper
#

I think if any hero is to die reaper would be most likely to

peak escarp
#

give him cookies

hushed jetty
#

put him on some crazy painkillers and give him a birthday cake

#

or cookies fr

worn latch
#

Personally I'd leave him too

drifting viper
#

Im sure shed do anything to see him again

worn latch
#

☠️

drifting viper
#

And reaper has a kid too

peak escarp
#

I don't think he'd want his wife to see him like that

pure geyser
#

Alive and ready to punch Moira in the face

drifting viper
#

He wouldnt have to feel constant pain anymore

worn latch
#

There's 6 characters with canon sexualities and the rest are up for speculation

pure geyser
#

Lebian pharah go brr

hushed jetty
#

no its 6

drifting viper
#

We know torb and ana are straifht

hushed jetty
worn latch
#

Although there's a 90% chance that mauga and Baptiste had a little thing angel

pure geyser
#

Now we need mercy to be a confirmed sapphic so we can have pharmercy

hushed jetty
#

just bc they were married to someone of the opposite gender does not necessarily make them straight

worn latch
hushed jetty
#

soldier, tracer, pharah, baptiste, lifeweaver, uh

#

am i missing one

pure geyser
#

Venture

hushed jetty
#

we dont know their sexuality

pure geyser
#

The enby rock enthusiast

worn latch
#

They're non binary so they're queer

pure geyser
#

Oh I thought it was lgbt in general

hushed jetty
#

theyre queer but we were talking abt sexuality specifically

worn latch
#

I thought it was just LGBT in general

#

Nah they're completely different

#

Non binary is the lack of gender
Genderfluid is feeling multiple genders / more than one

hushed jetty
#

genderfluid is also specifically being. uh. fluid between genders

worn latch
#

Why are we talking about this

hushed jetty
#

not just having more than one at once

#

idk! gay people

worn latch
#

I hate them homos....

#

Let's talk about lifeweaver

#

Sure

drifting viper
worn latch
#

Let's talk about how much hairspray lifeweaver uses

hushed jetty
#

we talk abt mauga all the time

#

we must talk about our boy niran

worn latch
#

Bua my beloved

#

Niran Pruksamanee is lifeweavers name

hushed jetty
#

(lifeweaver) (that's his name)

worn latch
hushed jetty
#

niran needs something focused on him

#

some piece of media

#

he was in the sym story but it was a Sym Story

worn latch
#

He needs to have an entire 10 episode show made about him and perhaps 3 comics

hushed jetty
#

i need a comic in general tbh

#

its been. so long

worn latch
#

Also a 200 page book just detailing his life I need more information on his childhood

drifting viper
#

Lifeweaver is a boring character

hushed jetty
#

and not a fucking serialized one either. i want ONE comic and not 5 issues of one

worn latch
drifting viper
hushed jetty
#

he would be more interesting if he showed up in any media

worn latch
#

He'd be more interesting if he showed up to my bed

drifting viper
#

There are heroes id rather see get lore stuff

worn latch
#

Okay

#

Can't relate

#

Lifeweaver has super interesting lore

#

And a cool character

#

And lots of potential for interactions with the rest of the cast

drifting viper
#

His only personality trait is being nice

hushed jetty
#

let me make a list of heroes that dont have a piece of media spotlighting them

#

i like making lists

worn latch
worn latch
#

Ramattra hasn't really had anything even tho he's super important

#

No one cares about mauga he's ugly and loud

#

Jq has parts in 2 stories

#

So I think that counts as one full one

hushed jetty
#
  • brigitte
  • doomfist
  • echo
  • illari !!!
  • jq
  • lifeweaver
  • lucio
  • moira
  • sigma
  • zenyatta
#

ramattra had a short story

worn latch
#

Grrrr clover

#

New book

hushed jetty
#

lucio has been NEGLECTED even though he was a LAUNCH HERO

#

every other chara on the list was added after launch but lucio? no fuck lucio

worn latch
#

Doom also deserves more content

drifting viper
hushed jetty
#

i said a media Spotlighting them

#

as in something About them

#

not something in which theyre just there

worn latch
#

I think they should make Lucio's dj music real on Spotify

hushed jetty
#

it is

#

it is real

#

he has an album

worn latch
#

Okay but more

drifting viper
hushed jetty
#

origin stories dont count obviously

worn latch
#

This isn't the place to talk about skins I know but he needs that Vishkar skin

hushed jetty
#

every character gets those post launch

worn latch
#

I need lifeweaver with his messy bun and lotus hair tie

#

Sending u back to 3rd grade pal, learn to spell

#

I wish we got lore about the cosmic crisis thing tho

#

Because lifeweaver has visions, that's specified by sojourns vl for him

hushed jetty
#

a comic wouldve been so good

#

what happened to torb...

worn latch
#

But lws skin has like chains that are clearly broken and we should've gotten a story for that

worn latch
#

But it's like scuffed up and clearly broken

#

I want to know where they came from Aagegrgrhrhrh

#

DONT LOOK

#

Only I'm allowed

#

😡😡😡😡

#

You guys don't deserve to look at him

#

Sigh

#

On skibidi

#

I think the only mauga lore we should get is him getting brutally murdered

pure geyser

peak escarp
hushed jetty
#

i said Focusing On Them

#

none of those are About those heroes

#

theyre just in them

#

except jq thats my bad

peak escarp
#

those are all pieces of lore that those heroes played a significant part in

worn latch
#

Lifeweaver was NOT that significant smh he should've been the mc

#

I love sym but she already has a comic 😒

peak escarp
#

it was equal between Symm and LW

hushed jetty
#

zenyatta played a significant part in stone by stone but it wasnt About Him

peak escarp
#

the only heroes with no significant lore appearances are Sigma and Illari

worn latch
#

I just want a lifeweaver centric lore bit

wind wind
peak escarp
#

he's not a very important character

#

I don't see him getting much focus

worn latch
#

HES VERY IMPORTANT 😞😞😞😞

peak escarp
#

to you, sure

#

but not to the plot

hushed jetty
#

maybe one day every hero will be entwined with the main plot somehow

worn latch
#

He could be very relevant I doubt it tho bc without pve progressing he probably will never meet overwatch

peak escarp
#

he's about as plot relevant as the junkers

worn latch
#

Don't compare my glorious king to stinky australians honeywhenkits

spare fox
#

I don't see any point in regulating heroes to "important" and "not important" roles in the lore like

#

ok so Winston or Sombra aren't ever going to be less important

#

but just because we haven't seen much of a hero doesn't mean they aren't important or won't ever be important to the story - or that they won't be the focus of some kind of lore in the future

Why mei

I feel like illari would be better

past copper

Because Mei is literally the only hero with something related to water

They can waterbend water into ice after all

I do not think sokka is a cyborg ninja

Face model-wise I think that illari or maybe pharah because she's half native

No. But Sokka uses a throwing weapon AND a sword!

Genji uses both

Personally I've never seen zuko wield a bow

His ult could have some badass effects as fire

Lore wise too

Personality wise hanzo does fit more

But I think that recent collabs are just ones that match the models

Got these six to choose from as skins

And technically speaking, the models don’t match completely
