Tbf if anything lw is extremely talented he's just super disorganised and a bit lazy so maybe he hasnt reached his full potential

#

If only he paid more attention in the academy 💀

reef hamlet
#

yeah i dont think zen's powers are canon but if we're talking faith he wins lol

pure geyser
#

Is it just me or is Lúcio fruity

#

dont disrespect my boy

Zenyatta is still an omnic, which makes him stronger than any human

Mei is also less experienced in combat

#

Don't think that's cannon

#

Like the orb of discord

#

@peak escarp off topic, but have you updated your Cassidy time in your bio recently?

#

Back on topic

#

A lot of abilities are only seen on the game side

#

E.g Mercy cannot bring back the dead in lore

#

But in game, it's one of two of her abilities

#

Aside from damage boost and average support shabang

narrow dragon
#

he trained genji

#

At least partially

#

And that guy's kicks sent a like 4ton mech FLY halfway across the room

turbid minnow
#

That too

#

And he has the power of the iris

#

If Tranquility is canon

hushed jetty
#

currently none of zen's kit is canon except maybe the orbs he tosses around actually

#

not the healing/discord ones the normal ones

#

i think he handed sym an orb of some kind in her short story

narrow dragon
#

but not the way we see them

#

as players

#

Like he kind of has dnd bard magic

#

manipulate wounds and emotions with woven magical words

#

but we see those as discord and harmony orbs

turbid minnow
#

Discord just makes someone weak I assume

narrow dragon
hushed jetty
#

i think discord and harmony are supposed to be metaphors for the way he uses his words or whatever

#

or so i hear

tranquil orbit
#

They could feature some kind of shambali monk fighting techniques in the future if they wanted to

#

To explain the harmony and discord

hushed jetty
#

personally i think zenyatta deserves to beat someones ass

tranquil orbit
#

Same

#

Kick specifically

narrow dragon
#

If lucio can use soundwaves

#

to heal and speed up people

#

is it a stretch that zenyatta focuses on spiritual energies?

#

aka people who believe in the greater good get healed when around him

#

and people who have an evil purpose get weaker

tranquil orbit
#

Idk if it'd be exactly that but something along those lines maybe

#

Theyre not afraid to go down the "spiritual energy" reasoning if they dont have an upfront scientific explanation as shown w kiriko

hushed jetty
tranquil orbit
#

I was thinking something a bit more like fighting style likes like discord would be like some martial arts that use an enemy's momentum against them

hushed jetty
#

like in lore i think lucio just works through the power of hype. no literal healing or speeding people up

tranquil orbit
#

Yeaaaa power of hype lets break it down!

#

Altho i think his soundwaves do have a quality to them

#

I forgot the specifics

#

But there was a voiceline so i imagine theyve at least thought abt it

peak escarp
#

same principle as sea shanties giving a rhythm for sailors to work to

#

Lucio has not canonically healed anyone, but he does use his sound barrier in Hero of Numbani

tranquil orbit
peak escarp
#

Lucio's mythic better have 3 music options

tranquil orbit
#

Fr it's criminal that none since the jazz one added new music

peak escarp
#

absolutely

#

give me country Lucio

#

give me K-pop Lucio

past copper
#

We will see. I wonder tho if season 11 can hold a candle to what season 10 did tho

#

People loved Mirrorwatch

#

Also wondering if a DPS will get the mythic skin next. They’ve waited longest now

#

I’d hope for maybe a mythic Venture. But new heroes don’t get that lucky

tranquil orbit
golden oak
#

Zen was just a psychological mentor

golden oak
past copper
golden oak
#

What leaks

tranquil orbit
#

fair if u dont believe them but it seems to be a kaiju/monsters theme

#

which they have discussed before

#

idk if im allowed to put them here

#

but theres a shot of skins from roadhog, lucio and zen

golden oak
#

Ohhh those

past copper
#

I’ve seen the Kaiju stuff, but we can’t assume anything yet

golden oak
#

Yeah I remember now

tranquil orbit
golden oak
#

Could be just a shop theme also

tranquil orbit
#

but judging from how those looked i might pass if it's a whole season of that 💀

tranquil orbit
past copper
#

After all, some people make pretty realistic looking skins

#

Either that, or they could be for later seasons 🤷‍♂️

golden oak
#

Although there is a matching tentacle Lucio that kinda looks like the free epics we get from bps

tranquil orbit
#

this might be an out there take but i think the reason ppl cared slightly more abt mirrorwatch compared to the other battlepass AUs they made was because this was the only one directly linked to current lore

#

in that it's a reversed-ish AU

past copper
#

We know we’re getting a new map

IMG_9585.jpg
tranquil orbit
#

compared to starwatch which no one cared abt

past copper
#

Which means we finally get more lore on the mysterious Illari

tranquil orbit
golden oak
#

Which made it even more hype

tranquil orbit
#

modes are cool temporarily but they die off

past copper
#

Don’t know if Temple of Anubis returns alongside Hanaoka. Least not in season 11

tranquil orbit
#

the staying power was from the concept

#

they said clash launches w 2 maps

#

so unless it's something completely different

#

but looking from the end of the venture gameplay trailer it seems like thats a shot directly from a rendered map

#

and not a cinematic

golden oak
#

Did they actually mention kaiju is gonna be one of the themes?

tranquil orbit
#

i believe so

past copper
#

Not that I remember

#

I know they mentioned Mirrorwatch, Egypt mythology, and etc

golden oak
#

I remember them saying Egyptian, eldritch horror and witches

tranquil orbit
#

witches asw was another

#

yh

past copper
#

But I don’t think they said anything about Kaiju

tranquil orbit
#

idk if it was mentioned w the others

#

but it's not the first time ive heard abt it

#

mightve been mentioned in a different interview/context

golden oak
#

If it was mentioned then not on blizzcon

past copper
#

Kaiju are big this year tho with Godzilla and Kong movies. So not impossible theme

golden oak
hushed jetty
#

kaiju was indeed not mentioned

tranquil orbit
#

at least not at blizzcon

#

i swear im not imagining things 😭

hushed jetty
#

eldritch horror and mirror universe we already got, and the others we know abt are egyptian mythology, witches, and uh thats it i think

#

so theres like what, 3 themes we dont know of yet?

golden oak
#

Getting another monster theme is weird

past copper
#

Between all of that, safe to say which ones aren’t coming til Halloween Horror and until the Anubis map drops

tranquil orbit
#

like another mythology season rn kinda makes sense

golden oak
#

We got beasts vs hunters and eldritch horror which also had some monsters

tranquil orbit
#

esp for the summer

past copper
#

True. But we did get Greek and Japanese mythology right next to each other tho, I think

hushed jetty
#

beasts only had one monster really (also the season was lame but we shant speak on that)

golden oak
hushed jetty
#

and eldritch horror is a very different genre of monster from kaiju

tranquil orbit
#

but thats mainly because i saw concept art

past copper
#

Imagine if Kaiju had a game mode where you and team fight in a miniature city map

#

That be cool

golden oak
tranquil orbit
#

these ones seem to be a bit more "cutesy" skin on them if thats the word tho?

#

like the leaks have zen in a fluffy looking godzilla outfit

hushed jetty
#

theres a difference between big octopus that invades your mind and big octopus that beats the shit out of a metropolis

past copper
golden oak
tranquil orbit
past copper
#

Well, maybe Anubis can be the next theme, but that would probably make more sense for season 12

#

Bc you know Venture would get the mythic for that event

golden oak
past copper
#

But who knows. They seem to be going a new route with who gets mythic skins

tranquil orbit
#

im done tryna predict mythics

#

the orders out the window

hushed jetty
#

there was never really an order

tranquil orbit
#

yh true

#

the guessed order i should say

hushed jetty
#

they seem to release randomly between roles in cycles of 3

tranquil orbit
#

tbh even that they cant stick to

past copper
#

I mean, the pattern was simple. But Mercy getting one right after Moira went out the window

tranquil orbit
#

because theres too many dps heroes

hushed jetty
#

well yeah at some point we're gonna get a lot of dps mythics in a short period

golden oak
#

Next one is dps 100%

hushed jetty
#

we're pretty due for a dps mythic right now id say

past copper
#

Either way. DPS have not had a mythic since Hanzo in October

hushed jetty
#

if it is indeed kaiju themed uhhhhhh hm who could get it

tranquil orbit
#

big scary bastion?

hushed jetty
#

oooo

past copper
#

So makes sense the next one goes to another dps. But who remains to be seen. Depends on the theme

golden oak
hushed jetty
#

pickrates from like a year ago mind you

golden oak
#

Or overall

#

Most of the mythics so far were pretty popular heroes

tranquil orbit
#

hanzo isnt rly that popular

golden oak
#

He used to be

tranquil orbit
#

ehhhh

#

his a mid tier in terms of pickrate

#

cass, soldier 76, widow, sojourn all come to mind

golden oak
#

Well I said most not all

tranquil orbit
#

fair enough

golden oak
#

Hanzo is 4th in pickrate from last 12 months

#

Higher than tracer mind you

tranquil orbit
#

thats fair but thats partially because of the previous meta being so heavily focused on burst damage

golden oak
#

I think blizz just looks at data from lower elos mostly bc that’s where most of the playerbase is

tranquil orbit
#

tracers way more popular than hanzo generally speaking

golden oak
#

Hanzo was popular partly bc you could spam and get kills

tranquil orbit
#

what are talking abt when we say low elo

golden oak
#

Bronze-plat?

tranquil orbit
#

yh i can see that i guess

#

idk maybe my thinking abt this is skewed but i think abt popularity much more in terms of like otpness

golden oak
#

Imagine Ashe mythic with a Godzilla BoB

#

Would that work

tranquil orbit
#

thatd be cash money

#

but who would ashe be

golden oak
#

Is there someone human main character

#

Idk I haven’t watched

tranquil orbit
#

i mean there are humans in basically every godzilla iteration i guess it's just down to them who to pick

golden oak
#

There’s a lot of genji mains and genji has the highest dps pickrate so he got the skin so early

tranquil orbit
#

he's pretty much joint most popular w mercy over the course of the game i think

#

made sense

#

and thats from like a fan pov

golden oak
#

Ngl I wasn’t expecting mercy as the mythic for mirrorwatch

raven sonnet
#

Hello

golden oak
#

Like keep in mind in overwatch lore Gabriel rejected the position of strike commander so he could work on blackwatch
It would make perfect sense for an alternate universe for him to be the strike commander

raven sonnet
#

I don’t know anything about overwatch lore tbh so I am going to read this channel for a bit

#

Anyone recommend a YouTube channel?

tranquil orbit
#

theres plenty of good YT stuff there and more

raven sonnet
#

Ty

golden oak
#

So I could see Reaper mythic, Doom mythic, maybe Winston mythic and even Soldier mythic

raven sonnet
#

I have the same birthday as torb

#

😭

pure geyser
#

Dva saying ew to McCree/cassidy will always irk me. Don’t do him dirty, just say not my type pls

spare fox
#

yeah but it's in character

zenith mango
tranquil orbit
#

tbh i wouldnt deep it that much the dialogue was mostly jokey

tranquil orbit
pure geyser
#

At least she calls Bob cute

#

Bob appreciation is always welcome

golden oak
#

Dva is 21 and cass is almost 40

keen summit
tranquil orbit
#

Considering bob was ashe's butler from young that puts him bare minimum mid 30s tho

#

It's not insane for a 21y old to be attracted to someone way older superficially

#

Relationships are a different thing

spare fox
tranquil orbit
#

But ppl have celeb crushes on ppl they havent met and theyll be like 20 years older than them 😭

spare fox
#

Oh and Cass smokes, smokers are gross they always smell

tranquil orbit
#

True

spare fox
#

I'd say ewww to that and I'm much closer in age to him lol

tranquil orbit
#

I acc rly like the smoker theory now 😭

#

Im just imaging it playing out

#

Youd think also by the 2070s or whenever it's even less common than it is now

spare fox
#

My s/o comes back from stopping by at his chain smoking mother's and he and his clothes STANK of cigarettes. I'm pretty sure cigars would be much more potent

#

It might be so bad you can tell when Cass was in a room recently lol

tranquil orbit
#

I live next to a room where the previous person living there was a chain smoker asw and i can confirm

#

It was so bad i couldn't even stay in there for longer than 20min 😭

#

The smell seeps into the walls and floor

#

On the topic, you think weed is still relevant in the timeframe ow takes place?

#

If so, who’s most likely to be a stoner?

spare fox
#

yes ofc

keen summit
#

i doubt any of the ow heroes are stoners

#

or addicted to anything to that matter, maybe cass to smoking but thats it really

spare fox
#

I'm pretty sure all except for Winston and Mei would at least partake occasionally lol

keen summit
#

hog seems most likely as yknow he has it hard, has travelled cuz of their crime and is already a criminal and as its not legal everywhere yknow

keen summit
#

doom would think it puts them back, mauga probs would, sigma would maybe but eh, sombra might but i kinda doubt it, widow defo not, moira only for experimentation

pure geyser
#

It’s probably what’s in his weird flask thing

keen summit
#

nah thats different

#

it seems to be mercy's stuff but gassified

tranquil orbit
#

Mauga imo is probs the most likely

#

He's probs got a bong the size of a bowling pin

keen summit
#

mauga and hog would fit

#

mauga cuz he just wants to have fun

#

hog cuz well he just wants to be calm

#

who knows mauga could even have it for medical reasons at first but then kept goin with it

#

the rest i honestly dont see happening

#

junk would much rather for example make a weed bomb

#

honestly lw i wouldnt be surprised with if he had tried once to see what nature can do

tranquil orbit
#

Lw also strikes me as someone who'd do a bit of dabbling

keen summit
#

wouldnt surprise me if they use weed alot in talon field operator ranks

#

as the stress from it n stuff and criminal org so even in places where its illigal it would happen

tranquil orbit
#

I get the feeling he loves a discipline narrative

keen summit
#

i think doom himself wouldnt, but would allow it if it allows them to work better and improve

#

he doesnt want them to be held back by stress

#

and previous leaders would want to sell weed, not use it

tranquil orbit
#

Idt thats how that works 😭

#

I think he wants then to be constantly stressed lowkey

#

Lead through fear

#

And respect

#

That's just my guess tho

#

Mauga is most likely to evade this however

keen summit
tranquil orbit
#

If it's some prescribed medicinal doses i wouldnt even count it tbh

keen summit
#

welll thats also using it

#

but thats what i meant

#

in "prescribed" in moiras ways, ways

#

who knows they might use it on sigma too to make him even more oblivious

tranquil orbit
#

Sigma i think u might need something a bit more potent 😭

keen summit
#

with moira, i dont doubt that some might even get it without knowing it, you could fill a room with it say with sigma and make them stoned without them even chosing

tranquil orbit
#

Theyre probs putting him to sleep w something super extreme

keen summit
#

like honestly. with moira i would not be surprised if she made it stronger somehow

tranquil orbit
#

Nah i just dont think it'd be super weed like a rly high strength chemical

keen summit
#

but as overwatch doesnt want to promote drug abuse i doubt itll ever be confirmed

tranquil orbit
#

Straight horse tranqs 😭

keen summit
#

we dont know, as we know nothing of sigmas situation

tranquil orbit
#

Yh but it's funny to speculate

keen summit
#

but yeah the ones who are most likely to use well weed just for fun or cuz they feel like it reguraly would liekly be hog and mauga, dabbled in id think lw

#

moira probs has tried it for science

#

ram if he was human probs wouldnt

#

cass i think would have tried once aswell, same with ashe but again not reguraly

#

and jq maybe

#

and if my theory is correct bap mightve done it once in the past to get off stress when he was in talon, but as there is 0 hints its unlikely

#

and maybe genji has once or twice, but i think its more likely he preferred when he was mad to stay mad

tight haven
#

did cassidy and ashe been in a relationship b4?

ancient condor
#

widow… cowabunga!

slow forge
zenith mango
#

Well there are some hints of something

#

Nothing confirmed tho

tranquil orbit
#

Theyve kinda gone back and forth w it

#

Michael chu was v against it iirc

#

The new writing team under gavin was a bit more open minded to it i think but wasnt rly giving confirmations

#

And now we dk again

#

Icl i dont think either of them would be good for each other thats a toxic heap waiting to happen

peak escarp
#

Cassidy flirted with her a lot, but she shut him down

tranquil orbit
#

However important to keep in mind this is a confirmation in a tweet and easy to retcon if anyone ever wanted to

#

Not that i think they should or shouldn't but yeah

pure geyser
#

It was probably like
“Ashe be my gf”
“Jesse I’m aromantic you fool.”

#

Not canon but I feel like she’d be aro

#

All she needs is her best friend and butler, Bob

zenith mango
#

whos her best friend

tranquil orbit
#

Icl i cant see ashe getting into a healthy relationship but it's less her beint fulfilled w bob and more the fact she hasnt rly had a good model for what a healthy relationship looks like in her entire life

pure geyser
#

Like I said, she’s always got Bob to lean on

#

Wait I just had an idea for a bastion pride skin

#

Ally bastion with a rainbow Ganymede

#

The ally flag is black and white with a rainbow arch on it

zenith mango
#

dont think is lore related

agile belfry
#

How can kiriko and the shimada brothers train together younger having 15-20years of difference?

zenith mango
#

here we go again

pure geyser
#

Iirc her mom taught them all at the same time

zenith mango
#

this conversation happened abput 20 times a whiol;e ago\

pure geyser
#

Genji could’ve been late teens to early 20’s and she was a little kid

#

Older brother kinda thing

zenith mango
#

we have ages

pure geyser
#

I know, I’m just giving a rough timeframe

agile belfry
#

still feels weird

zenith mango
#

she has 2 different ages

agile belfry
zenith mango
#

blizzard did an oopsie

pure geyser
#

Yeah she’s like 20

zenith mango
#

or they did it on purpose for some reasaon idk

#

they gave her 2 ages

pure geyser
#

Where’s the proof?

agile belfry
zenith mango
#

chronological age is 26 and biological age is 21

agile belfry
zenith mango
#

nah

agile belfry
pure geyser
#

It’s Genji, he probably would anyway

merry token
#

Genji and Hanzo would have been in their late teens if we follow her given age of 21

#

When they were training with Kiriko and under Kiriko’s mom

Anyone got any Lúcio lore they can toss me?

worthy haven
#

is uh

#

Reaper and soldier dead in this timeline

#

Cuz the bomb actually killed them

#

Instead of them faking their deaths or wtvr

past copper
#

First, they never faked their deaths. The explosion went off and they caught with the rumble of the base

#

Jack escaped it and Gabriel was taken by Talon

#

Second, we don’t know what happened to them since they were never apart of Overwatch in the mirror world

cedar cape
past copper
keen summit
#

Not be 21 atleast

#

Cuz "childhood friends" usually isnt more than a 10 year gap

merry token
#

Where I do not say they were given confirmed ages and were instead most likely given a general prompt

keen summit
#

Cuz tell me say you were 21, would you consider a 5 year old a friend usually?

#

Thing is 21 never made sense, cuz also when the shimada fell apart in kirikos story was way too recent

#

The ages frankly dont add up, its likely they just wanted kiriko to he this relatable young adult character for people to project on as shes already written as a self insert

agile atlas
#

Everyone is gay and they have a big ass || orgy || at the end of the story

keen summit
#

Cool.

#

Everyone laughed, god you are hilarious, in dutch we would say "je bent zeker het zonnetje in het huis"

digital linden
#

they could make kiri like 30 and her appearance would still match, so i don’t know why they just don’t

#

a lot of characters don’t really look their age

tranquil orbit
#

Venture's VA btw for ppl who dont know

#

Is this maybe something extra beyond the comic? 👀

spare fox
#

I'm pretty sure hinting like that violates the NDA. Part of an NDA is that you don't disclose anything even knowledge of the thing

#

Hope they don't get in trouble with blizz

half pelican
#

they tease stuff all the time the mercy mythic was done like a week before the trailer

grand wedge
silent orchid
#

I guess i can dream… (it will never happen)

tranquil orbit
#

They talk A LOT compared to the other VAs so i hope theres no trouble there either but still you'd think that this isnt too much

tranquil orbit
tranquil orbit
#

Theres also the possibility that maybe it's some kind of announcement for OW at the xbox showcase on the 9th but i kinda doubt it because it's too soon and probably under 100% wraps like 0 loopholes in that NDA

silent orchid
#

Just like we lacked mauga content when he released as well

spare fox
#

You all must be new to the OW fandom lol

past copper
#

We’ve literally had Mauga lore around the time Bap was released

digital linden
#

praying for more illari lore

#

especially with the new map coming

past copper
#

And Venture literally just dropped 3 weeks ago with no hint of them whatsoever until then

#

Seriously. They’re not gonna drop a movie script length bio on a new hero a moment upon release

tranquil orbit
#

Mauga acc had quite a lot more than most heroes on release

#

Helps that he was in the works for so long and was in baps story tho

tranquil orbit
#

We know 0 abt the wayfinders, why venture is so dedicated to archeology etc and thats not something super detailed these are basics for the audience to acc know who the character is

#

Atm the most popular thing weve latched onto is the rock eating joke and thats literally something WE made up 😭

silent orchid
#

I stopped playing when ow2 released bc i hated the battle pass thing and the fact they got rid of loot boxes

#

I only got back into it for venture

silent orchid
#

The only animation ive seen of mauga is that one of him, sombra and reaper

silent orchid
#

We dont want a full character lore as soon as the character releases

#

But we want to know the basics of the character

#

We don’t know why venture joined overwatch, why they like archeology, what are the wayfinders? What’s up with them all and talon? We dont have ANYTHING about venture at all.

#

They weren’t even capable enough to release venture with a decent skin or a good highlight intro

#

All we know is that they have a grandmother. They live in canada, they’re latino, they are an archeologist and they hate talon. That’s all

silent orchid
spare fox
# silent orchid Im not I play since 2018

Then you should know that Blizz drip feeds the lore for some heroes at that, and others get nothing for years both release heroes and new heroes alike
Just saying don't hold your breath, Mauga was a rarity that he got featured in a little short last dec

silent orchid
#

I do know that, and that’s the point, just because they do it doesn’t mean i agree with it.
Blizzard has been teasing venture so much ever since blizzcon, so proud of themselves that they made venture, their first non binary hero… they honestly never cared about the character and only released them to get more gay ppl into the game lol

#

In all honesty, venture is just a money grab, and it’s working, good for them ig that they barely have to make any content for the character

spare fox
#

Weird take but ok

peak escarp
#

how is Venture a money grab... there's nothing to buy for them

spare fox
#

They were just released, already have a unique "origin" video that had a tease of the overarching story, they're getting a comic soon. That's more content than half the heroes got in the first 5 years of the game

silent orchid
peak escarp
#

they're a useful character in the game, not a "money grab"

pure geyser
#

They yoinked my money when the ice cream skin dropped and I forgive them because best skin ever

#

What’s funny about that is a week prior I made them in papa’s freezeria (an ice cream game) because I love them and that skin dropped, I was like “OH FUCK I PREDICTED THIS”

worthy haven
#

gabriel was on the brink of death tho

#

thats why moira did what she did

#

and jack escaped "faking his death" as said in the icnematic

#

cinematic*

#

so my theory

#

is in mirror watch

#

neither of them escaped

#

and they both fucking died

normal linden
#

i just read the main parts of the lore yestarday

tranquil orbit
#

Idk if venture was necessarily a money grab but i also think they werent necessarily treated w as much respect as their past characters in crafting them... like they let their standards slip for the excuse of oooo look at them so silly

#

However this is massively dependent on the comic that piece can literally change everything

#

It could just be a case of the initial roll out being a bit clunky

past copper
#

I mean, they didn’t release any skins with Venture and the only unique ones are either in shop or Twitch drops

#

Pretty sure the new direction is new hero = free release, leg/epic skins = in shop

#

Not sure how to feel bout that, but given the coins now in BP, I can take or leave it 🤷‍♂️

#

Doesn’t matter to me. New hero a new hero

Idk why everyone (fanon) assumed he was dead prior. Lore only said that Lucio's dad while working for vishkar developed tech and vishkar confiscated it, then Lucio stole it back

because some of the dialogue that mentioned him used past tense verbs

which isn't really conclusive

I disagree massively w sayinf their characterisation is good as of rn

#

For reasons weve both said above we know v little about who venture actually is beyond surface level personality

#

Thats not to say it cant change im hoping the comic will basically act as the true introduction to their character and we rly get to know them properly there

#

And also yh i never said money grab myself

The strongest heroes in the lore are Winston, Orisa, Doomfist and Mauga. Sigma, Symmetra and Lifeweaver are potentially stronger but their power is speculative.

At last some Venture lore

#

Is it Canon that sombra could knock out a city's whole power using her E.M.P?

spare fox
#

I 100% believe she could but I don't think she would

#

she doesn't seem to like targeting people without money/power so there's a lot of working class people who would be negatively affected

tranquil orbit
#

tbh i see it moreso the other way

#

if it meant she got something she wanted she'd absolutely do it regardless of the consequences

#

if she rly cared so much she wouldnt be willing to join talon and be complicit in what they do

#

it's what separates her from someone like baptiste

#

i think she generally has shown she'll sometimes do things for the greater good but her selfish interests come first

comic is OUTTTTTT

MAUGA MY KING

#

of course he's still shirtless at a gyat damn archeological site

bruh they don't know what they're looking for wtf

#

so doomfist sending out the Talon grunts and Mauga like grandma sending grandpa to the grocery store

compact forum
#

where can i read the comic?

tranquil orbit
#

overall it's pretty decent a bit on the lighter side of details still

#

i like that we at least got a bit more of venture's motivation tho thats nice to see

#

i also like that we know a bit better how they fit inside the wayfinders

twilit patrol
#

Read it

#

It's just a comic pe_peepo_shrug

peak escarp

so is every comic

twilit patrol
#

I mean it's not that ''incredible''

tranquil orbit
#

nah i agree it's a bit on the lighter side

peak escarp
#

nobody said it was

tranquil orbit
#

but it still had some stuff i was looking for that the origin story cinematic didnt have

twilit patrol
#

Yeah

tranquil orbit
#

tbh idk why they didnt just animate this

#

wouldve been much better and probably not that much longer

peak escarp
#

because animation costs more

twilit patrol
#

Animation takes probably longer than a comic

tranquil orbit
#

true but also it means u only need to do 1 work instead of 2

peak escarp
#

?

tranquil orbit
#

as in scrap the original 1min video they did and maybe just try for a 2min animation w this story

#

is what im saying

peak escarp
#

why

tranquil orbit
#

because that 1st cienmatic is redundant ash

#

this was a lot better

#

as an introduction to venture

#

and u even still have a fight w talon

spare fox
#

They basically were the exact same thing, only different locations, but the comic had mauga and sombra for basically no reason

tranquil orbit
#

yh the sombra cameo i wasnt a big fan of ngl

#

thats my only major gripe w it

#

felt very mcu

twilit patrol
tranquil orbit
#

ohhh look heres sombra ... why? oh idk why not.

spare fox
tranquil orbit
#

just like the mcu cameos lmao

spare fox
#

Because Sombra knows everybody

tranquil orbit
#

i get that but im also not a fan of it when we're just doing things for the sake of it

spare fox
#

Yeah

tranquil orbit
#

if they wanna do the whole eye thing thats cool

#

but pls just follow through w it

#

yk what i mean

peak escarp
#

Sombra is there because she wants to use Venture for something

tranquil orbit
#

yeah but it didnt need to be in THIS story i think is the issue

spare fox
#

Also I like how mauga was like "take everything" but Venture was like SWIPER NO SWIPING so they stopped and left

tranquil orbit
#

she's basically just slapped on at the end

#

because why not

peak escarp
#

they left because the police were coming

tranquil orbit
#

mannn

#

now i rly wanna see this one animated

peak escarp
#

I hope we get a continuation

fair sierra
#

i def dont see why they wont add more

#

the wayfinders could SOOO get so much lore added

#

maybe well see more wayfinders added to the game which would allow more venture lore

#

also since sombra said shed be in touch again at another point, this could mean we could see more added on through voice lines or seasonal lore or more likely another comic/short story

hushed jetty
#

the fact this comic is also titled Venture's Adventures like the short makes me hope this becomes a mini series

tranquil orbit
#

i wouldve hoped the same if it had a vol1 attached to it

#

Ya know something, it’s cool to see OG maps like Illois being used for something other then a limited time event

#

It was literally the only map among the originals that didn’t have any lore to it

#

Although, right now the map that has no lore is Malevento

spare fox
#

malevento has a little lore - Talon is stockpiling weapons there at least

#

colosseo doesn't have any lore iirc

peak escarp
#

colosseo has remote-pilot gladiator fights

spare fox
#

I think they were referring to story or character-relevant lore, not just world building

peak escarp
#

worldbuilding still counts as lore

spare fox
#

well yes, but I think they were referring to specifically story or character-relevant lore

#

hence saying how Malevento doesn't have any lore tied to it

#

but so far, Talon has looked in Illios and Shambali for whatever it is they're looking for and it wasn't there

#

and Sombra knows where it is

#

hmm

agile quartz
#

So I have an idea that I'm not sure would fit well with how to lore works

#

So it's this blonde that is a dps and is training under McCree (idgaf if he is Cassidy now he is mccree) and she is kinda like an adoptive daughter but the whole story of him finding her is that after the collapse of the world or whatever the hell started ow's lore, he finds her as a 10 year old scientist. Said scientist' laboratory got destroy via an experiment with those little bot thingys for the pve side of ow. Because she was a genius she easily picked up how to use the revolver but since the handle was too big, McCree and Winston made a special two-shot revolver using holo-tech (like Reinhardt's shield) and McCree's dynamite. It has a scoping zoom in of 1.25 and deals 150 per shot, and a deflect ability that when PERFECTLY blocking a bullet (you have 2 frames to deflect it) it goes down the barrel of your gun and you can fire it back (just wait lore implications incoming) so iirc widowmaker dislikes McCree and on a mission with McCree and Cassidy (the 10 year old not new McCree) widowmaker kinda shoots him but Cass deflects it and fires it at the ground. I like the idea of a daughter figure for McCree but not sure if broke

#

Holy shit long message

peak escarp
#

they would never make a 10 year old a playable hero

#

also it completely ignores lore

which means this isn't the right channel

I mean didn’t they say somewhere that they weren’t trying to lean into magic but moreso tech like hard light for Hanzo and Genji’s dragons? Also.. why would they be the only ones who can control them? High tech security or coOool generational magic or something? Are they really dragons in human form?.. so many wonders.

I also find it cute that Sigma knew Winston and Mercy before he went crazy :3

its possible that its like genetic in some sense and the mom married in

it was given to them by their dad

and it would make sense if their dad used a dragon or spirit of some kind because of how hanzo says "a shimada" which implies more than just genji and him can use it

also in other talk i was looking back at some old sombra related stuff and i was looking back at this image

#

the big diagram w the conspiracy at the centre that weve seen more and more recently

#

interestingly enough apart from all the orgs having some connection to it theres 1 hero face there

#

and theyre connected to reinhardt

#

i might be completely wrong but this could be hivemind because i believe they were responsible for the hostage situation that eventually saw him get retired

#

this was hivemind's original design from project titan - emphasis on the big headpiece that could maybe be what that picture is showing it's a bit hard to make out

#

best guess is that hivemind is worth looking out for, esp because theyre also in a sort of virtual/hacky kind of design

#

not to mention a resemblance to the null sector headpieces which is also now starting to get me ideas

maybe they'll be a hero someday

Also what’s the deal with the Genji and hanzo heroes of the storm canon thing

the more I hear about it, the more I think they're going to part ways in the future.

perhaps when you pedal it generates the energy to make it move. somehow

when someone is riding it, the rider weighs down the tire so it makes contact with the road

when it's idle and unoccupied, the whole thing floats

Maybe one of those 5 skins is the mythic. (I don’t play as sojourn but I hope that a new battle pass skin)

peak escarp
#

they wouldn't show off the mythic without hyping it up

sullen girder
#

Maybe they’ll give us another anime collab this season

tranquil orbit
#

Tbh i think theres no colab this season we'd probably have heard news abt it

#

Bare minimum it wouldve been hinted at the xbox event

#

This i can see why they kinda left it out it's gonna be a fairly standard non hero season i think

peak escarp
#

we haven't heard anything about this season because they haven't released the trailer

#

we never learn about collabs before the season trailer

tranquil orbit
#

Sometimes theres some news circulating around

hushed jetty
#

me personally if i win we get some kind of mauga mythic considering his va was literally in a power rangers show

#

but thats absolutely not happening

tranquil orbit
#

Wait why not

hushed jetty
#

i mean i guess it COULD happen

tranquil orbit
#

Tank mythic is completely possible

hushed jetty
#

i feel like we're getting dps this season first of all and second of all if they did release a tank mythic it probably wouldnt be mauga yet - i'd imagine ramattra would get one before him

tranquil orbit
#

Thats fair

#

Im having trouble guessing who it could be at all tbh

#

Tbf no one guessed mercy last season so ig thats how it's supposed to be

peak escarp
#

Zarya

hushed jetty
#

zarya mythic would go CRAZY

#

actually it might be dva

#

considering she's in a mech already

tranquil orbit
#

I was gonna say dva asw but i chanhed my mind cos the porsche colab wasnt too long ago

#

And she was v much the main focus for that

#

But at the end of the day whatever sells well is the priority

dense nebula
tranquil orbit
#

Yh thats why im not sure

#

Like i said money is the priority

tight haven
#

please dont tell me dva x lucio is true🥹

#

Its time for DPS mythic

#

Hmm would Cassidy or Soldier get the next mythic

#

Since they are the top 3 most played DPS

past copper
#

I kinda doubt Soldier since he already has a skin for this theme

#

And Cole clearly isn’t getting the mythic since his skin is on the trailer launch poster

hushed jetty
#

also they wouldnt look at top dps now it wouldve been like a year or more ago

past copper
#

So looking at this.
Cole
Genji
Ana
Sojourn
Wrecking Ball
Roadhog
Zenyatta
Lucio

peak escarp
#

and Reaper

past copper
#

We can rule out them as mythic at least. Yes and Reaper

#

Kinda wonder if Bastion is on the board for a mythic skin

dva seems most likely to me

digital relic
#

wouldn’t mind ashe tbf like different variations of bob??

hushed jetty
#

ashe would be nice

#

ashe power ranger and bob monster

keen summit
hushed jetty
#

or bob as some sort of mech

keen summit
#

real exciting part is maybe finally some more illari info

hushed jetty
#

at the very least some mild lore about the inti and the current state of peru

keen summit
#

i hope that we see talon activity

hushed jetty
#

wouldnt be shocked if talon was digging around

keen summit
#

cuz that might finally tie illari in with the story, that maybe like venture illari fights talon

keen summit
#

my ideal illari plot still is her getting captured and eventually freed from talon

hushed jetty
#

if they REALLY wanna make it interesting illari could join talon

#

dunno how that would work but still

#

we havent gotten anyone joining talon and i swear to god i wanna see it

keen summit
#

as it would fit her story and give development space for her to break out and let her "attone"

hushed jetty
#

im sure theyd find a way to make illari working with talon make sense

#

at the very least it might explain why she hates moira so bad

keen summit
keen summit
hushed jetty
#

fair

keen summit
#

cuz granted if she was captured, obv moira would try to learn how solar threading works

#

cuz thats another way to well, strengthen stuff and experiment with it

#

imagine a reaper, with solar threading

#

even worse, imagine a reaper, with gravity powers, maugas build and solar threading
