Not canon

this is canon

Senior Narrative Designer said so in top reply

#

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

No way pharji existed canonically

peak escarp
#

Mercy was

#

also there's no canon indication that Pharah is interested in Mercy

heavy mirage
heavy mirage
# peak escarp also there's no canon indication that Pharah is interested in Mercy

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

peak escarp
#

Mercy's age wasn't changed

#

she has always been 5 years older than Pharah

#

the rest of that is just speculation

heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

there is no confirmation of any romantic relationship between them

#

no

#

it was never retconed

heavy mirage
#

Pharah was a child when Overwatch was around and Mercy was an established head surgeon

peak escarp
#

she was not

#

Mercy was a student then

flint sage
quiet skiff
#

pharah mercy is canon?

heavy mirage
flint sage
heavy mirage
#

They changed her biography to make Mercy as a student

peak escarp
#

incorrect

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

that hasn't changed

heavy mirage
#

Yes it was, now they have her bio as that she was a medical student

peak escarp
#

you have to be a medical student before you're a surgeon

flint sage
#

okay that made me laugh

heavy mirage
#

She was an accomplished surgeon when joining Overwatch originally, now they have that she was a medical student when getting involved in Overwatch

peak escarp
#

incorrect

peak escarp
#

nowhere does it say she was a student when Overwatch recruited her

flint sage
#

Discord mean >:((

peak escarp
#

we see her being recruited in a flashback in Valkyrie, where she is 22 and an established surgeon

heavy mirage
#

That isn't her original description

peak escarp
#

nowhere in the text I quoted does it say that she was a student when Overwatch recruited her

#

it's just rephrased

flint sage
#

you two: so, age, mercy and surgeons
me, bursting in the convo for no reason: cole cassidy lol

peak escarp
#

from Valkyrie:

#

she was already the head of surgery at Zurich University Hospital before Overwatch recruited her

#

her bio description doesn't contradict that

heavy mirage
#

When she joined Overwatch

peak escarp
#

she was a child prodigy

#

she started university before she was 17, and was head of surgery by 22

heavy mirage
#

The age retcon says she was 14 in Overwatch

peak escarp
#

source?

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

she joined Overwatch 15 years ago, her current age is 39

#

meaning she was 24 when she was recruited

peak escarp
heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

Pharah is 12 in that photo

#

Mercy isn't a member of Overwatch yet

#

she's visiting from university

heavy mirage
#

Do you quote anything other than retcon

peak escarp
#

nothing has been retconned

heavy mirage
#

Quoting retcon when talking about original bio being retconned is hilarious

peak escarp
#

what source do you have that it was retconned?

#

the bio having different phrasing is not a retcon

heavy mirage
#

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"

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
#

"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"

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
#

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)

heavy mirage
bleak shell
#

seriously where do you get these sources

flint sage
heavy mirage
flint sage
#

Thats what i got from this convo so far

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

she only dreams of bio regeneration

heavy mirage
#

Tissue regeneration research came after already being a head surgeon

peak escarp
#

she's just a child

heavy mirage
#

She was striving to solve tissue regeneration

#

What year

peak escarp
flint sage
#

ask mercy yourself ig

peak escarp
#

she was 24

#

no wait

#

22, you were right

#

I forgot to subtract the timeskip

heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

Overwatch started during the omnic crisis, which began 28 years ago, and ended 7 years ago when it was forced to disband

flint sage
#

Fellas of lore

What you think happened for Cass to get cactus spines up his ass

peak escarp
#

so Overwatch was active for 21 years

#

we dont know what year

flint sage
#

Did he just sit on it for the fun of it or- /silly

peak escarp
#

we don't have confirmed years for anything

#

Mercy was recruited 10 years after the omnic crisis ended

heavy mirage
#

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 🙂

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

art is subjective

heavy mirage
#

They just want it to be less creepy when they make them a thing

peak escarp
#

that artist just isn't good at depicting ages

heavy mirage
#

Because it had groomer accusations of the ship for years

peak escarp
#

their age gap has not changed

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

in OW1 they were 32 and 37

native gulch
#

Butters you are neither making sense nor are you remotely correct as far as facts go

peak escarp
#

nothing was retconned

heavy mirage
#

It's already been well documented the changes they have made

#

A lead writer has already admitted they try to please the ship community

bleak shell
#

Reddit is not the best source on lore

heavy mirage
#

Read the actual comment lordy

peak escarp
#

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

native gulch
#

Reddit
Specifically Overwatch memes
🤨

flint sage
peak escarp
#

also, Gavin was fired recently

heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

so who knows what that will mean for the ship

heavy mirage
#

No idea why we are pretending like the lore team cares about consistency

native gulch
#

Given how most games treat their stories you’d expect more retcons but Overwatch retcons are surprisingly rare afaik

peak escarp
#

I keep telling you

heavy mirage
heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

the only ages that were changed when they updated the bios for OW2 are Zenyatta and Sojourn

native gulch
flint sage
#

but im just an observer so what do i know /light sarcasm

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
peak escarp
#

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)

heavy mirage
#

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

peak escarp
#

it's not a great image

#

and there's two versions

peak escarp
#

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

heavy mirage
rare trail
#

also mercy is like supposed to be a child prodigy so its possible she skipped a grade

azure bluff
#

Mercy is just a wrong'n if they go with either ship

azure bluff
# worthy rose 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.

rare trail
#

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

flint sage

She has two hands

But also real question because i forgot

Pharamercy and gency fans r equally crazy, also they get more money off of making both have content

azure bluff
#

First OW Polygroup. Now everyone's happy

spare fox
#

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

azure bluff
#

I don't get the logic behind shipping in general

spare fox
#

imo roadrat fans come in second for crazy and aggressive, bizarrely

azure bluff
#

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

spare fox
#

same here - I do like some ships but I'm not crazy about it and I highly doubt any will be canon, even gency

flint sage
#

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"

Sombra-Cassidy is the one I think would be most interesting to me

im not a fan of sombra n cassidy but im like, very biased XD /lh

flint sage

to me it seems like Sombra is one of the ones who, in Chu's words, "is married to her work" lol

flint sage
#

ye lol thats how i see her too

azure bluff
#

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

flint sage
#

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

Tracer a runner, Widow a dancer

rare trail
#

isnt widow pretty tall

spare fox
#

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

rare trail
#

i think like

#

top 5 heaviest is
orisa, winston, ramattra, bastion, mauga

worn latch
rare trail
#

lightest
hammond, dva, kiri, tracer, lucio

#

hammond is kinda cheating though

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

he's probably the heaviest hamster ever

I mean in his short story they said he's bigger than the normal hamster

spare fox

yeah I meant it lol

#

I'd say he weighs similar to an overweight cat

#

i wonder how much orisa weighs

#

like

#

at least a ton

spare fox
#

he's a 25 pounder!

worn latch
#

I mean she's like 7ft and pure durable metal

spare fox
#

she's a horse waterbuffalo but also a tank

rare trail
#

i would say ram is up there but nemesis isnt canon so hes probably like half a ton at most

worn latch
#

Ramattra is probably one of the lighter omnics

#

Compared to orisa and bastion at least

#

Echo is the lightest

erm

shes not an omnic iirc

It's not like insta caffeine or anything lol

hushed jetty

#

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

hushed jetty
#

ok but what does that Mean

rare trail
#

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

hushed jetty
#

ok but again what the hell does that mean
how does an Injection do that

rare trail
#

so

#

based off one voice line

hushed jetty
#

also i dont think going off the ult line is the best source

rare trail
#

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

is there a reason in lore that genji got a different suit when he joined blackwatch

rare trail
#

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

lost helm
#

wouldnt nomad be after overwatch 1 ?

since he left overwatch and then travelled the world / met zen then came back for ow2 ?

rare trail

yeah mb i misremembered

or actually im not sure

nvm

lost helm

yeah nomad would be after ow1

"left overwatch" is kinda inaccurate since ow like shut down but whatever

lost helm

fair fair mb

as far as i know no

but the skin description mentions he travelled the world after overwatch was shut down

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

cobalt hinge

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

cobalt hinge
#

They call it TBAG Because your sack hits there face

#

My theory

#

Yea

pallid light
#

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

worn latch
#

I thought reaper would get the mythic tbh

cobalt hinge
#

I thought it was may

#

😭😭

rare trail
#

also idk why rank would matter for a skin

spare fox
#

all it is is "mirror universe" so what if Mercy was a bad guy i.e. in Talon in this case

rare trail
#

yeah thats what the skin is

spare fox
#

Ye so it doesn't matter her rank or whatever

#

Or influence

fresh rock
#

If it's Mirrored Universe I doubt it'd focus on Mercy.

spare fox
#

Focus? We're talking about the confirmed Mercy talon skin >_>

fresh rock
#

Yeah, but I'm saying that the Mercy Talon skin wouldn't be THE big bad

#

Because Mercy would be supposedly mimicking Moira

spare fox
#

It's not about mimicking anyone

#

She's a good guy therefor her mirror is a bad guy

past copper
#

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

viral tendon
spare fox
#

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

worn latch
#

Maybe lifeweaver will finally get his Vishkar skin....

past copper
#

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

past copper
#

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

past copper
#

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

worn latch
#

I was gonna say monk ram for some reason 😞😞

past copper
#

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

keen summit
#

All were victorian horror or other horror things

#

Or the collab

S7 had Ramattra's Diesel Baron

that didn't suit the theme

Imagine if ramattra got a low taper fade

past copper
#

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

peak escarp
#

season 7

#

season 6 wasn't very on theme

keen summit
#

i hate that s6 didnt give any tanks omnic skins

#

like cmon my fav theme has NO skins for my role?!

past copper
#

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

keen summit
#

doesnt really matter

#

the others didnt make sense for it either

past copper
#

Hey, I liked the Null Sector theme skins

#

They were pretty dope

keen summit
#

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

past copper
#

Well, we will see in the coming week

#

Maybe they will stay on the Talon theme

#

They have many heroes to work with

keen summit
#

so will be both heroes and villain swap

#

also, when venture origin story

past copper
#

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

Can we at least get the finished story mission(s) involving Talon?

and ofcourse, mauga deciding to instead keep fighting for ecology

What if Jack was the one who joined Talon instead of Gabriel, while Gabriel became the vigilante hunting him down

mauga takes the deepsea raiders leadership into his own hands and keeps them running

i mean the samoan base was first overwatch owned

Possibly faces to cover this theme besides Mercy. Jack, Gabriel, Ramattra, Zenyatta, Doomfist

Zenyatta formed Null Sector while Ram stayed with the Shambali?

Mondatta is

Dead characters stay dead

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

past copper
#

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

You can’t do that for an omnic. Their lives can be lost forever like that of a humans

theyre mirror enough tor the sake of this au

keen summit

ramattra is all about saving all omnics with actions, not words
mondatta about saving all omnics though words, not actions

hushed jetty
#

i dont think we need to get That accurate. just enough to make cool skins

keen summit
#

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

hushed jetty
#

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

keen summit
#

cuz in reality, ram vs ravagers is just his purple paint and his clothes

hushed jetty
#

null sector zen could be legendary if they went hard enough

keen summit
#

honestly

hushed jetty
#

theyd find a way

keen summit
#

yeah, they made tatsumaki and mime legendary

#

but, realistically it shouldnt be. as model swaps wouldnt make sense

keen summit
#

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

short holly
#

I don’t think those classify as pants

keen summit
#

so realistically, all he'd need to have is some simple colour changes and be like ram in that way

keen summit
#

its funny how it gides everything BUT the crotch

#

like he really went "wearing pants, but not!"

short holly
#

“I’m not naked, see?”

keen summit
#

tbf tho, ram is the type to find it stupid to actually wear pants cuz thats a human custom

#

he hates human customs

short holly
#

Eh
He’s not above human customs.
He doesn’t hate them all

keen summit
#

he does dislike them, we saw that in his short story

he says so himself

He wears clothes still..at least a form of clothing

Everyone wears clothes

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

keen summit
#

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

hushed jetty
#

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

spare fox

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

split geyser
#

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

rare trail
#

illaris ult isnt canon

#

its not really known how strong she is

split geyser

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
