Heheeh
Still a criminal
+bastion winston
Third Canadian dps
Characters interacting with eachother who haven’t met in the canon…
I wish pve had a free play mode
But then again that would make the que times even worse
do any orisa abilities get canonized in heroes ascendant?
scirm ?
So like, is Reapers thing where he eats souls to heal canon or was that just scrubbed out?
Not canon
Reaper does not eat souls
does orisa get any new confirmed abilities in her story?
it looks like from the cover art she uses her spear so i assume she would get something like javelin spin
I don't remember her using any, but it is mentioned that she has new abilities
ok i think i have a mostly complete ability list then? I dont think i missed anything but its way too long for me to post without getting muted
Quick question is there a way to get the regular role on ur profile without talking in the normal chat or do you have to talk in the normal chat? /gen
just be active and helpful
I think I got regular (before I was a mod) and I only talk here
wouldnt that like show my email?
no idea
Ohhh Ty :3
No it wouldn’t usually, I think u can press hide email too im not sure
Cuz like people share gd all over the internet without their email being shown
Interesting
My golly, one your good your email wasn’t shown and two zen has nothing there and idk if that’s on purpose
Ahhh had to make sure
if im counting zens i should probably count sigmas
No lifeweaver 😞
I lost my role not sure why unless it decays or something ☹️
Didn’t Orisa and Eli join ow at the end of her comic?
Yes I've been saying that 😞😞but he wasn't in the doc
Yes actually I do remember that, the entire story was about orisa getting upset cuz she didn't wanna leave
I think they were going for that at the end of HoN novel but it turned out Sojourn just wanted to meet them. They're going to join OW after their recent story though
That's mb
sorry :3 i had to like manually add the newer heroes and i forgot him :(((
don't let it happen again pal....
its fixed now :3
You gonna give her a knuckle sandwich or something 😭😭 /j
Yes
my first day in this server and im already experiencing live violence damn /j
What does /j mean
/joke
whats with the backslash
just to show a tone indicator (aka a way to make sure your written tone comes across and for others as well)
FlammeK , you're still awake?
Is Lúcio's feet are actually cybernetic or does he actually wear them?
its just something he wears
i know what u meant, but i misread the phrase as "does he actually wear his own feet?" 
People who have autism or just don’t understand social cues use them (like I’m autistic so I use them so I don’t sound mean)
Ok
who's down to give me a quick lore of Pharah
@peak escarp sorry for ping has anyone been in talon and blackwatch?
moira, reaper
Baptiste was never in Blackwatch though
Ana's daughter. Used to be Genji's romantic interest (I MEANT MERCY WAS GENJI'S INTEREST) Suntil the new OW2 writer wanted to retcon her to be interested in Mercy to satisfy a part of the fanbase that ships them
Oh my god do not remind me of pharji
WAIT WHAT
No way pharji existed canonically
Pharah was not Genji's romantic interest
Mercy was
also there's no canon indication that Pharah is interested in Mercy
Sorry I meant Mercy Genji
They already retconned Genji+Mercy and removed every romantic interaction between them, retconned Mercy to an age that is significantly lower in order to be closer in age to Pharah to be less of a creepy groomer, had Pharah be listed as having some sort of strong fondness for Mercy, and the writing team leaks information to the Pharmercy community specifically
The writing is on the wall
Mercy's age wasn't changed
she has always been 5 years older than Pharah
the rest of that is just speculation
After retcon, yes
there is no confirmation of any romantic relationship between them
no
it was never retconed
Pharah was a child when Overwatch was around and Mercy was an established head surgeon

pharah mercy is canon?
You don't know her original bio it sounds like
The only thing close to it is her talking fondly of Mercy in the short story where she comes out as a lesbian iirc
They changed her biography to make Mercy as a student
incorrect
Wrong reply sorry xD
I assume you're referring to this image
Pharah is 12
Mercy is 17, visiting from university
source: Michael Chu's panel during GDC 2017
there is no retcon involving Mercy
No, I am referring to the original writing.
After obtaining her MD and PHD in Switzerland, Ziegler rose to become the head of surgery at a prominent Swiss hospital before pioneering a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology that radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illnesses and injuries. It was this expertise that attracted the attention of Overwatch.
Because her parents had been taken by war, Ziegler was opposed to the organization's militaristic approach to keeping global peace. Ultimately, she recognized that Overwatch offered her the opportunity to save lives on a much larger scale. As Overwatch's head of medical research, Angela sought to leverage her work for healing in frontline crises. The result was the Valkyrie swift-response suit, which Ziegler herself piloted on many Overwatch missions.
Originally she was a prominent surgeon who worked her way up and was asked to be in Overwatch
that hasn't changed
Yes it was, now they have her bio as that she was a medical student
you have to be a medical student before you're a surgeon
okay that made me laugh
She was an accomplished surgeon when joining Overwatch originally, now they have that she was a medical student when getting involved in Overwatch
nowhere does it say she was a student when Overwatch recruited her
Discord mean >:((
we see her being recruited in a flashback in Valkyrie, where she is 22 and an established surgeon
You are literally quoting the retcon
That isn't her original description
nowhere in the text I quoted does it say that she was a student when Overwatch recruited her
it's just rephrased
you two: so, age, mercy and surgeons
me, bursting in the convo for no reason: cole cassidy lol
from Valkyrie:
she was already the head of surgery at Zurich University Hospital before Overwatch recruited her
her bio description doesn't contradict that
Yes I know that is what I am saying. She would have been older to go through her education and become head surgeon
When she joined Overwatch
she was a child prodigy
she started university before she was 17, and was head of surgery by 22
The age retcon says she was 14 in Overwatch
source?
And yes in a short story all about Pharah being a lesbian, name dropping Mercy and leaking the info about Pharah to specifically a Pharmercy community has STRONG implications
she joined Overwatch 15 years ago, her current age is 39
meaning she was 24 when she was recruited
strong implications is not canon confirmation
The picture of Pharah she is absolutely around the age of 9, and Mercy is only 5 years older
Pharah is 12 in that photo
Mercy isn't a member of Overwatch yet
she's visiting from university
Do you quote anything other than retcon
nothing has been retconned
Quoting retcon when talking about original bio being retconned is hilarious
what source do you have that it was retconned?
the bio having different phrasing is not a retcon
The source is that the current writing team changed all the ages, removed previous writing team's bios and character interactions, and revealed information over the life of OW2 that is incredibly inconsistent
"Different phrasing"
the only change to the ages was adding 2 years (and fixing Zenyatta's age) to account for the 2 year time jump from Recall to Invasion
"Angela earned an MD and PHD, became a head surgeon, was involved in tissue research and was asked to join Overwatch due to prominence" is somehow just a phrasing change from "Mercy was friends with Torb her whole life and got to hang around Overwatch all the time and was a child prodigy who became a prominent head surgeon at the age of 17"
she was not the head surgeon at 17
I don't know where you're getting that
the age she became a head surgeon at is not listed anywhere
she was still a student at 17
and we've known about her relationship with Torbjorn for years - since Brigitte's introduction back in 2018
so that's not something made up by the new writing team
Overwatch formed around 30 years prior to the events in Overwatch 1. The Omnic Crisis ended 4 years later. Torbjorn mentions Angela fixing him 23 years prior to Overwatch 1 (she would be 14)
incorrect
There is a letter from Torbjorn 23 years prior to Overwatch 1
seriously where do you get these sources
(Trust them bro) - Source
Thats what i got from this convo so far
If only Angela's dreams of tissue regeneration were a reality! I told her she should be working harder!
which means she isn't a doctor yet
Angela was already a part of the crew
she only dreams of bio regeneration
Tissue regeneration research came after already being a head surgeon
she's just a child
ask mercy yourself ig
When do you think the events of Overwatch happened
Overwatch started during the omnic crisis, which began 28 years ago, and ended 7 years ago when it was forced to disband
Fellas of lore
What you think happened for Cass to get cactus spines up his ass
Did he just sit on it for the fun of it or- /silly
we don't have confirmed years for anything
Mercy was recruited 10 years after the omnic crisis ended
Pharah isn't 12 years old in the photo, Mercy being 17 in the same photo doesn't work. And yes they hinted at them being a thing (or at least Pharah). The end 🙂
incorrect
Source: 12 year old girls do not look like that, and especially not in relation to a 17 year old who also does not look like that lol
art is subjective
They just want it to be less creepy when they make them a thing
that artist just isn't good at depicting ages
Because it had groomer accusations of the ship for years
their age gap has not changed
And mercy was originally hinted with Genji but they are catering the pharmercy ship community (LITERALLY LEAKING LORE TO THEM) so they had to retcon
in OW1 they were 32 and 37
Butters you are neither making sense nor are you remotely correct as far as facts go
nothing was retconned
It's already been well documented the changes they have made
A lead writer has already admitted they try to please the ship community
Reddit is not the best source on lore
Read the actual comment lordy
there were far fewer people complaining that Pharmercy was a "groomer" relationship than there were people complaining that Gency was a doctor taking advantage of her patient
Specifically Overwatch memes
🤨
Source: Ive met women before. They can absolutely look like both at those ages (not always, but they absolutely can)
- ye the artist prolly wasn’t perfect at drawing the “common-est” looks for those two
speculation about catering to a ship community doesn't mean anything has been retconned
also, Gavin was fired recently
Or it was changed after the fact from Pharah being a child and Mercy in her 20s to Pharah being older and Mercy being a little younger to be less weird.
so who knows what that will mean for the ship
No idea why we are pretending like the lore team cares about consistency
Given how most games treat their stories you’d expect more retcons but Overwatch retcons are surprisingly rare afaik
their ages were not changed
I keep telling you
Did they not just go back and readjust the ages of like everyone which causes lore issues such as Kiriko's?
Link to where Pharah is stated to be 12 in the photo?
the only ages that were changed when they updated the bios for OW2 are Zenyatta and Sojourn
Kiriko is less retconny and more “introduces story aspect that makes no sense”. “Rare” also doesn’t mean “never”
I dont think anybody is, i think they are just telling ya what has been said abt it various times
but im just an observer so what do i know /light sarcasm
It's trying to beat around the bush that the writing team adjusts the lore or reinterprets former lore/illustrations
Pharah absolutely is interested in Mercy and the writers have active involvement with the Pharmercy community.
And it is a fact they removed all Genji-Mercy hints from everything
51:24
"you have 11 to 12 year old Pharah [...] you have university student Mercy who is visiting the Overwatch base"
Pharah's supposed interest in Mercy is not as blatant as a lot of people think
and there doesn't seem to be much reciprocity from Mercy
without more overt confirmation, it could be passed off as a close friendship
I do dislike the way the writers were pandering to their twitter audience
That fits the original assumption that she was in her younger 20's (university age)
but the math doesn't
Pharah's age in OW1 was 32, Mercy's age in OW1 was 37
so when she was 12, Mercy was 17
being 17 and in university isn't that unlikely - I was in university when I was 17 (because of my late birthday)
I think you might be right that the illustration specifically is misleading
That picture is just so prominently used and referenced, it stands out most which causes confusion
Same
one has Torb without his cybernetic arm
which is incorrect
since he lost it 23/25 years ago
and this photo is 20/22 years ago
No you just were able to get in at a young age with a major in History focused in Overwatch
also mercy is like supposed to be a child prodigy so its possible she skipped a grade
if that was a real subject I'd have a PhD
Mercy is also extremely intelligent and her graduating high school early isn't that weird
Mercy is just a wrong'n if they go with either ship
How so?
Half joking. The age gap between her and Pharah isn't bad if they started seeing eachother now, though it's still a bit strange given that Mercy knew her as she (Pharah) was growing up.
With Genji, she was the doctor who saved his life. She has a lot of power in that dynamic
Ultimately "it's just a game" is a valid response to any of these statements.
idk its not like genji is still her patient
its still a little weird given she did save his life but i dont think theres a power dynamic there rn because genji isnt her patient anymore
21
Thanks
its on the official bios now
Couldnt rememver if 20 or 21
oh lordy lord who here knows sombra lore or wants to know (i love sombra lore)
Shes so interesting istg
LMFAO
I know a little, from what I do know she’s a really cool character. I really like her friendship with sigma too in game
Also love ur pfp btw 
her friendship w sigma is just chefs kiss
she is literally the "sure grandma lets get you to bed" meme
She knows who's been naughty
Doesn't matter cuz overwatch will never make either canon 😭
That would honestly be wise
Pharamercy and gency fans r equally crazy, also they get more money off of making both have content
First OW Polygroup. Now everyone's happy
in my experience, it's the pharmercy fans who are more crazy however the gency fans can at times make arguments against pharmercy that can be considered at best homophobic
but pharmercy fans are more crazy and aggressive hands down
I don't get the logic behind shipping in general
imo roadrat fans come in second for crazy and aggressive, bizarrely
Like, as far as it goes for me is "oh, they have some interesting traits that could work well together" and that's it
Maybe it's different for me because I'm indifferent to attraction
same here - I do like some ships but I'm not crazy about it and I highly doubt any will be canon, even gency
as someone who gets very invested in ships, i can say its a matter of "those two together bring me joy/confort" but when people want to fight over it im like
"where is the confort, bro? u like simply fighting??"
"bro u fighting me where the confort at"
my pet ship I really want to become canon is pharah-brigitte because awwww
never heard of that one before xD
Sombra-Cassidy is the one I think would be most interesting to me
i will admit the reason i care for overwatch is bc of ships, they drew me in and then i thought the lore was very cool
yeah the discourse can get so off-putting from it all
im not a fan of sombra n cassidy but im like, very biased XD /lh
any type of fandom discourse is always 80% chance of disaster
to me it seems like Sombra is one of the ones who, in Chu's words, "is married to her work" lol
ye lol thats how i see her too
Oh yeah, lore wise it wouldn't work because Sombra is too much of a bigger picture thinker and they're essentially on opposite sides
she doing her own thing she dont got time for a relationship
also imagine dating a woman that knows all ur browsing history, terrifying /j
Also because Cassidy's grenade is one of the most annoying abilities when I'm playing Sombra
Oh my god, the people calling venture’s VA a bad person because they enjoyed dvattra
😭
see, no that is out of line
I hate when stans and antis alike harass the creators: at best it gives all fans a bad name and at worse it makes them clam up and stop interracting
every other day i think abt that voiceline of dva calling BOB "a cute guy"
bc she right, there aint no cuter guy
legit
them/they
yes because they are not their gender assigned at birth, that's my understanding
they nonbinary
ye, non binary is under the trans umbrella 

I hope they make Pride Month a thing in game again
id like the archives or anniversary ( i forgor which ) story missions to come back
same same
All roadrat fans I've seen r so silly whaaat
it's probably not that simple, I could see them not wanting to just put it back in game without some serious polishing due to reworks
yeah also bc of the pve too right
smh i loved those missions
yeah they were fun, I remember playing them over and over during the events
The chillest shippers I've seen are probably bapcass
Dude bapweaver fans are so toxic istg
I say I dislike the ship and suddenly I'm literally banned from the group 💀
me, shipping bapweaver on my corner: 
yeah but there's a sect of them that are convinced that roadrat is canon and saying or suggesting anything otherwise can get you targetted for some toxic shite directed at you
shipper gangs are scary
I mean it's not a bad ship but the people who ship it heavily are really fucking weird
ye ye i know, its just me going "ohnoes the others may scare me" /lh
WHAAT
me, making my gays kiss be like: "its my own canon u cant take that away from me"
idk if im a fan of like any ships
It's just me having lw as an extreme special interest and bapweaver fans seem to mischaracterize him so heavily that it just made me hate the ship
bapweaver seems like a pretty random pairing
I do love symweaver tho that's my favorite<3
do you think mercy in lore is as annoying as her mains irl
Both flirty queer men so it appeals to majority of the fandom
its mostly due some of their voicelines flirting with each other
One singular voice line but yeah
and i use voicelines to make my own canon so I go "i like it"
i cant believe i just got 🤓 ☝️ -ed
seeee it's those that consider certain characters/ship as their "special interests" that project themselves onto the character and if anyone dares interpret the character differently, they get toxic
i hate asking for damage boost bc all i get is " dont tell me how to play the game "
mercy the fandom bicycle
mauga and mercy is crazy i think
i ship genji x mercy let my man catch a break amen
go off new crackship just dropped
Real 😞😞 I got called abeliest for telling someone that lifeweaver was not a 5'7 man with no muscle mass because an autistic person was putting their own headcanons on him
Okay maybe I was a little mean about it
But like
isnt lw like super tall
is cass x ashe canon or do they just hate each other
how dare someone not think like that one person does /sarcasm
iirc it was not canon
He's about 6'7
dont tell me what to do omg im not gonna heal you loser
Somewhere there
Cass flirted a little in Deadlock Rebels but backed off when Ashe wasn't interested. It's a blink and you miss it thing
sounds abt right

oh so he got rejected kinda ?
Before his hitbox was nerfed so now he's a little shorter
“A couple of dashing rogues”
Forreal
cass: 
ashe:
🔪
That's why I get so upset whenever people draw Baptiste taller I always gotta call it out
junkrat x ana mother / son rs when
thats like junkrat not understanding what lw meant though
No muscle mass
looks closer
muscle mass
everyone is SO mean to junkrat in voice lines its insane
play against a good junkrat and tell me you wouldnt be as mean
I know but like
I just took it as them being close enough for the general public to think they're dating
With Junkrat treating it like that I highly doubt they have any interest in each other
He has some pretty defined muscles but he's not broad he's really lean like a gymnastic so people just ignore ot
doesnt s76 have a bounty too or am i tripping
Lifeweaver has a bounty too heeheh I love my criminal wife
Kinda sorta femme but still pretty buff
He's feminine because his entire character is about being non conformist, so he doesn't fit gender norms
I think it's neat
Why are we talking about how much roadhog weighs
genji is definitely 78.43 kg
WHY
He’s pretty based for that
mauga is 10000000 lbs which is the same weight of his mains irl ( avg discord mod )
I agree
sorry wangtang this wasnt pesonal
It was for me

Idk how much lw would weigh

i wonder if mauga or roadhog is heavier
Enough to crush me let's hope 🙏
Mauga
mauga bc hes so fat from all the cheeto dust and mountain dew
Mauga is taller and a lot broader
I don't think in-game models are 100% canon tbh like obv Roadhog and Mauga are huge but like
doesnt muscle weigh more than fat
I thought mauga was a lot taller?
I don't think so many characters are ~7ft that's just unreasonable
no its about same iirc
oh wait its probably orisa lol
i think rein is very very close in weight to both of them tho
?
not when i put his robotic ass 6 ft under he isnt
thats like not the same i think
shh
i wonder how much jq weighs
Like he's not as muscular as some other heroes but who are u comparing him too 😭😭? Rein??
more buff than hanzo if you ask me
yess i love it
it looks like genjis arms tho
in the blackwatch skin
In his blackwatch skin?
yess
whar
Yeah
I'm going to SINK MY TEETH INTO HIS ARMS
um
Relatable
good for you ig
FUCK I GOT RATIOED/si
ramattra nemesis probably weighs a bit right?
Yeah bastion would be heavy as hell he's pure bulky metal compared to someone like ramattra who in general is just leaner
i think zen would be surprisingly heavy
like not the heaviest but definitely more than you'd expect
Bastion ability where if he drops onto his enemy in turret mode they immediately die
yeah
Zen is a cutie patootie
do you count the bullet balls or nah
Those aren't canon so no
whos the lightest
Tracer
doomfist has to be at least 350 tho bc look at how massive that arm is
No Hammond is fat as hell
Erm ackshually, he’s clearly floating so he weighs nothing (he is full of helium)/j
mans a ballon
fat as hell for a hamster is like 20 pounds though
He's also way bigger than a normal hamster
idk
Id say dva kiri and tracer for humans
id say more
Embed fail :(
maybe 50 more
isnt tracer kinda tall shes just like not standing up straight
She's like 5'4 I thought
Dva is taller than tracer
So is kiriko
Mei and Lucio are the shortest humans
Ana.
lucio might be lightest then
ana
Lw in his shooting emote he's so goofy looking 😭😭 why's he bent over so much
is probably pretty light
illari?
that's really really tall for a woman from south america
She's not muscular and seems to be very thin
i have a battery stuck on my mouse send help
I wouldn't say she's thin, to me she seems athletic but not like a bodybuilder
🐭
got it out
junkrat is weird because like his in game model is muscular but in everything else he's scrawny
canon is just a suggestion
isnt widow pretty tall
yeah
again not sure how canon in-game models are
I think her model makes her over 6ft? which while possible it feels more reasonable to say in-game models aren't necessarily canon
then again in Heroes Ascendant it said that JQ was nearly 7 feet tall so who knows
OW universe is a race of giants ig
5'9
I think it’s kinda like one piece (but not as extreme) where there are characters who are especially tall for specific reasons but some other guys are just built different
I mean it's very far in the future they probably have some genetic enhancements
That's why I think lifeweaver has white hair
All of the men in his family seem to
I'd say hammond is in the top heaviest.
Fat ass 😒
you are so mean to hammond
chonky hammy
what did hammond ever do
Evil
hes just a silly little guy
he's probably the heaviest hamster ever
I mean in his short story they said he's bigger than the normal hamster
yeah I meant it lol
I'd say he weighs similar to an overweight cat
he's a 25 pounder!
Imo she's the heaviest
I mean she's like 7ft and pure durable metal
she's a horse waterbuffalo but also a tank
i would say ram is up there but nemesis isnt canon so hes probably like half a ton at most
Ramattra is probably one of the lighter omnics
Compared to orisa and bastion at least
Echo is the lightest
Okay bro
:3c
I imagine Orisa weighs the same as a car
a sedan
@gray kayak an L
Bro bans ppl for no reason
L moderator
Like lil bro u aint allat
?
Not sure what your beef is but this isn't the channel for it.
Are you mad about moderation 😭😭😭
Ur kinda fat shaming her in a way 😅😅
lucio once fell asleep in a metronome factory and almost lost his rhythm but then a triangle-head shaped kid started singing with him in a library and he got his rhythm back
@stone canopy did he fart?
no
Does nano boost have side effects
depression
when you don’t get a 5k
how does ana’s anti nade taste?
Extreme withdrawal, if you don’t die 5 minutes after nano you enter into withdrawal which makes you lose control
Ur character walks to the closest death pit and attempts to jump
If the map Dosent have death pit then they just have a heart attack
Woah
nano isnt canon iirc
closest thing to nano in the real world would be like adrenaline ig
WHAT THR FART DOES IIRC MEAN
If I remember correctly
Also the closest thing would be steroids
Adrenaline isn't something u take tho
epi pen
Isn't that for allergies?? Fym epi pen
epi pen is just a lot of adrenaline
Yeah if you take an epi pen without being in anaphylaxis you'll go into cardiac arrest so...
It's not like insta caffeine or anything lol
not necessarily
i dont think all that's true
we've never seen nano in lore so we don't really know what it would do but based on game its a lot like an adrenaline rush
well yeah
its never used outside of the game
ok but what does that Mean
uh no
thats not what ana says
that interpretation is pretty wild
what she says is "unleash your inner strength" or whatever not giving you your full potential
ok????
ok
ok but again what the hell does that mean
how does an Injection do that
also i dont think going off the ult line is the best source
one voice line, about a non canon ability, that youre interpreting in a weird way to unlock someones "potential"
uh
thats not what they asked
they asked if theres withdrawal symptoms from nano
or
actually nvm
they said "does nano have side effects"
anyway the way it works in game is like closest to an adrenaline rush so like sweating lightheadedness higher heart rate faster breathing
They should add a hero with low iron, every couple minutes they just fall to the floor and are invulnerable
Me
Thank you 🫶
isnt pharah x mercy like an underage ship
bc iirc mercy worked w ana in ow and pharah was still a kid so the age diff must be huge no ?
i might be wrong idk
no
if you're talking abt that one picture first of all its a weird pic in general and second of all they were 12 and 17 there
they are 5 ish years apart
Is definitely strange but not technically illegal
5 years isnt even really strange when theyre both in their 30s atp
Its strange when they grew up together
It's strange to date someone when you knew them while they were a child and you were an adult imo
Ur the weirdest thing in this community
alr thats more fair
Not wrong
Ships are awful
Real ships r cool
Speaking of which null sector ships
They should make one a map
I feel we need more best friends everyone hates each other here
It could be a 2C map or a hybrid map
No
Real ships r cool asf
Is anyone else down bad for tracer????
Old homophobic church friend gave me his ow comics book because of this specific comic ☠️
NO WAY LMAO
Lmao
Shouldve said "uhhhh no its a guy with a girl name and uhh long hair etc" in true history book fashion
Yknow, i was saying venture doesbt need a tragic backstory but cant think of many that dont a tragic story. Maybe zen but i can only confidently say brig
Ah aight
Sym? Cuz ig she doesnt know?
Oh then i didnt know haha
Emily so fine ngl, tracer is lucky to have her
Bad leo
What
Its a joke
Was aboutta say that’s not phrased very bonkably
Btw I love the spray we got for pride last year with Emily and Lena, I wish I had the soldier one with Vincent 😭
You can’t buy it with credits, right?
Idk but probs not
Most event stuff is unavailable so probably
I hope they bring it back for this year’s pride
they do
is there a reason in lore that genji got a different suit when he joined blackwatch
chronologically that was his first suit
so like he just got upgrades over time to get to the suit hes at now
over time it would be like
young genji
blackwatch
nomad(even though iirc this skin isnt shown in canon)
overwatch 1
overwatch 2
but
wouldnt nomad be after overwatch 1 ?
since he left overwatch and then travelled the world / met zen then came back for ow2 ?

yeah nomad would be after ow1
"left overwatch" is kinda inaccurate since ow like shut down but whatever
fair fair mb
NOMAD IS CANON??
as far as i know no
but the skin description mentions he travelled the world after overwatch was shut down
So Mirror Universe season is next
Wonder how much effort they're gonna put into the alt universe lore
Uprising
yeah
what?
no
hes been beaten by orisa twice and winston once
cybernetics
Ok thx
I thought he was from like a deadly tribe or smthin like that
Whos the strongest
Oh k
Everyone has there weekneses
Venture op bro
orisa
why mauga and rein
and orisa is stronger than doom
no it wasnt???
have you read the book
tracer isnt in hero of numbani iirc
doom got beat by winston too
doomfist had a bunch of troops
and the fact you thought tracer was there tells me you dont know much about the fight
efi is 13
she didnt help in that fight
and lucio doesnt have strong offensive stuff
and what do you mean a weakened doomfist
why not winston
winston beat doom
no
doomfist went to jail
winston beat him
ok
mercy might be the worst choice for the mythic from a lore perspective. her rank would probably be similar to moira’s means she’s not as powerful or influential as someone like doomfist. reinhardt would be the equivalent; others with potential for great skins would be reaper/soldier due to the things they could do with their voices. not very pleased
I thought reaper would get the mythic tbh
they could just change mercys rank
also idk why rank would matter for a skin
all it is is "mirror universe" so what if Mercy was a bad guy i.e. in Talon in this case
yeah thats what the skin is
If it's Mirrored Universe I doubt it'd focus on Mercy.
Focus? We're talking about the confirmed Mercy talon skin >_>
Yeah, but I'm saying that the Mercy Talon skin wouldn't be THE big bad
Because Mercy would be supposedly mimicking Moira
Who knows. Really seems people are only assuming Mercy getting the mythic
But… they did make it a point to tease her…
Frankly, it should have been a dps hero, but maybe they’re trying to be more random
And to be fair, many heroes would have been bad guys. Unless it’s just focused on the opposites of Overwatch agents
Tho, I kinda doubt either Soldier, Winston, Mei, or Ana will appear on the BP for the theme
Oc, if it is mirror, maybe we see what it be if Mercy, Genji, Tracer, Rein, Brig, joined Talon while Reaper, Doomfist, n Sombra were to be in Overwatch 🤷♂️
We can only wait n see what the trailer has to show
I doubt reaper would get a overwatch skin since he technically has both blackwatch Reyes, and soldier 24 but since he’s one of the original there’s a chance
same thing with Bap but in reverse, as much as we NEEEEED more Bap skins, he's already covered here
We already have talon bap skin so they wouldn't do him
Well, it depends on what they would do for opposites
Between Overwatch n Talon agents
Maybe lifeweaver will finally get his Vishkar skin....
Doomfist, Widow, n Sombra as Overwatch agents
Mercy, Genji, n Tracer as Talon agents
And possibly Sigma n Rein as OW or Talon agents respectfully
It depends. There always is one skin that isn’t on theme to the BP
Like Winston’s Ringmaster skin in this season
Although, I kind of think that’s a hint to possible later season themes
I can see it now… Circus Overwatch
LET ME DREAM
I’m not saying it won’t happen. But you never know 🤷♂️
Tho, we haven’t exactly seen a lore skin in some time…
Last time we ever got one was Sojourn’s vigilante skin from season 6
I was gonna say monk ram for some reason 😞😞
Yup. It’s unfortunate. But you never know. They might give us the last story missions that were completed at the most
I’m only going on that based off the coming theme tho
But they clearly had that mission done with Zenyatta and Talon
I’m not saying continue PvE. But to at least give us what’s done instead of leaving it to collect dust
S7 didnt have that
All were victorian horror or other horror things
Or the collab
It's always one skin that's off theme. I wonder why they keep on doing that
you could pretend it was a halloween costume if you squinted
unfortunately squinting would not save the skin from being ugly af
probably because they have ideas for other skins
Hey now his buzz cut is cool
Why not just put it in the shop than the battlepass
Literally
Imagine if ramattra got a low taper fade

Pretty sure in the beginning it was to have a skin at the end of each level
But now I guess they just do it to hint at later BP themes
Although that not saying much since it wasn’t until season 6 or 7 they were trying to keep skins on theme
i hate that s6 didnt give any tanks omnic skins
like cmon my fav theme has NO skins for my role?!
I mean, the Null Sector tank in question was Ramattra
So, idk what to say
Maybe they just didn’t consider any other tank for Null Sector theme
nah i loved them
but they didnt make sense for the heroes either
so like, null sector rein, or null sector doom or sum couldve been SICK
Well, we will see in the coming week
Maybe they will stay on the Talon theme
They have many heroes to work with
i mean we already knew mirror universe was coming
so will be both heroes and villain swap
also, when venture origin story
But… I feel we won’t see certain heroes on the BP given they are already on the current one
Too bad. Talon Mei might have been sick
I don’t think there’s any way to make Mei menacing
Give a backstory like, “Talon raided Ecopoint: Antarctica and found Mei”
we have for years
She’s a dumpling with feet
Tho, I still say if your giving us a Talon theme in some form
Can we at least get the finished story mission(s) involving Talon?
i dont think its Just a talon theme, im hoping we get both sides
its mirrored
yeah its not, they specifically said mirror universe theme, villain and hero swap
nah, talon lucio cuz hes with them atm, and then u can say he joined because he believed they could help him take down vishkar, make vishkar work with overwatch instead
yeah talon lucio is the more obvious choice but come ON we barely have any vishkar stuff
If mirrored, what if some possibilities like Sigma taken in by Overwatch instead of Talon or Mei saved from EA by Talon after being forgotten by Overwatch
yeaaaaah
and ofcourse, mauga deciding to instead keep fighting for ecology
instead of losing himself after surgery
I completely forgot bout Mauga. I keep doing that
doomfist unlike his predecessor joining overwatch for the evolution of humanity
sojourn actively fighting overwatch instead of just advocating against them
Winston gives up
What if Jack was the one who joined Talon instead of Gabriel, while Gabriel became the vigilante hunting him down
DEEPSEA RAIDERS SKIN PLEASE GOD
mauga takes the deepsea raiders leadership into his own hands and keeps them running
or just, he joins overwatch
ramattra advocating for peace
through actions
we can get more interesting than that cmon
Possibly faces to cover this theme besides Mercy. Jack, Gabriel, Ramattra, Zenyatta, Doomfist
Zenyatta formed Null Sector while Ram stayed with the Shambali?
well yea
but the deepsea raiders' shenanagains eventually made overwatch give it back
Nah
Mondatta wluld
Zen isnt mirrored ram
Mondatta is
Mondatta dead tho
They not gone bring him back for a theme
I’d say that’s like the only unbreakable rule of Overwatch anymore
Dead characters stay dead
No. But they coulf say ram is
Until they’re not
Ram would be the mondattathere
They definitely wouldn’t kill a character for a limited event theme either
well it would he interesting though
if in this au some characters were honest to jod dead
In that lore would be dead
Hence why Ram n Zen make more sense
Zen could have been the one to find Ram n bring him to the Shambali
Mondatta just need a new cpu tbh
Ram and zen arent mirrors tho
Mondatta was finite. His sentience cannot be replicated
So storage was corrupted?
They actually are. They both learned under Mondatta, but both walked down completely different paths
Can you store a human’s life on a chip? No
You can’t do that for an omnic. Their lives can be lost forever like that of a humans
However compare their motivations and methods
Even their orbs show it
theyre mirror enough tor the sake of this au
ramattra is all about saving all omnics with actions, not words
mondatta about saving all omnics though words, not actions
i dont think we need to get That accurate. just enough to make cool skins
i just dont see the argument ryu made about mondatta being dead
like, and?
the thing why i doubt he'd get a skin is cuz if u make mirrored skin for ram, its just his wandering monk skin
so its more likely that if they make an accompanying comic, theyd have him be dead
i imagine if zeb and ram wrre "swapped" itd just be null sector zen and not ram too
god i hope we get a comic
a short story even
yes, and that would likely be just an epic skin
cuz in reality, ram vs ravagers is just his purple paint and his clothes
null sector zen could be legendary if they went hard enough
doubtr
honestly
theyd find a way
yeah, they made tatsumaki and mime legendary
but, realistically it shouldnt be. as model swaps wouldnt make sense
0 sense
as u can see, the only true changes from ravagers are his dreadlocks, which is hair head change which is epic. then colour changes and his scarf and pants
zen already has a scard, and pants
I don’t think those classify as pants
so realistically, all he'd need to have is some simple colour changes and be like ram in that way
i know
its funny how it gides everything BUT the crotch
like he really went "wearing pants, but not!"
“I’m not naked, see?”
tbf tho, ram is the type to find it stupid to actually wear pants cuz thats a human custom
he hates human customs
Eh
He’s not above human customs.
He doesn’t hate them all
He wears clothes still..at least a form of clothing
Clothes aren’t really customs per say
Everyone wears clothes
orisa
Gesture, not custom
And she has some form of covering
She wears a cloth and has numerous markings that could be considered clothes (armor)
And when I say “everyone” I mean it’s a universal thing. Some people and or omnics might not wear clothing, but most do. Majority rules, therefor everyone
nah i get you
but its likely way simpler for ram
he likely lives in antartica
so having some cloth to cover important parts for him like his neck and legs could be important to make it a bit easier
the rest being open is for mobility's sake
imagine having orisa irl by your side tho, mad usefull
oh i left my bike there, well no worries orisa is there and if they try to steal it, which they wont cuz a huge robot is next to hit, she'll take care of it
something ive been thinking about
i wonder if the god ais have the same amount of quote unquote "sentience" as orisa and echo
like in the sense that theyre not technically sentient but they sure act like it
i think so tbh bc of what we know about uhhhhhhh
Chernobog
bc that one's last words were "I understand. I'm sorry." before being shut down
That's something to ponder
I was kind of thinking they weren't sentient like omnics that have a personality but more that they are just super advanced programming
guys i need help with a debate, me and my friend were debating about who is stronger with real life implications, illari or doom. His argument was that doom is strong and can punch, mine is illari can throw the sun at somebody, who is right
what does that mean
im not really in the lore loop
so like not all abilities in game are like real in lore
what can she do in lore then
we only really have her origin to go off of and thats not much
she can be like a human bomb with the solar threading thing ig but thats a massive machine
doomfist is pretty strong in lore
hes been beaten by winston and orisa so not the strongest but still p strong
ok i thought she could literally shoot a star at someone (pretty devastating)
i mean she caused a massive explosion
we dont know that
"Illari continues her daily training"
thats kind of silly, its literally the game that they made
most sigma has done is like made some stuff float in code of violence and thats it
hypothetically, sigma solos
but in canon... sigma probably still solos
we dont know how strong sigma is
actually in canon idek if sigma would focus long enough to fight
you cant say he "doesnt know how to use his powers" when we barely even know what powers he has
he made stuff float
