#

Basically a psycho

#

I find that pretty evil

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

Most people would

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

I wouldn't consider Hog and Junk evil since they have no darker evil intent

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

I think part of the discussion is that evil is almost always jerkish

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

They're just assholes killing for money

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

But not every jerk is evil

#

Killing is pretty evil though

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

I'd call the Evil flat-out cruelty or something with no higher purpose

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

Killing is tricky

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

Evil can still have a higher purpose

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

It's objectively a bad thing and written as a sin in many cultures

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

I feel like we've suddenly become #Philosophy

#

NotLikeSoldier

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

But killing has a lot of objectives nowadays

#

We glorify the killing of some people while mourning the death of others based on our point of view

#

Really depends on perspective

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Killing another human being in MOST cases is evil

#

In like 90%

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

But you can certainly be good while valuing yourself over others.

#

They're about to detonate a nuke in the middle of NYC

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

I'f it wasn't 1 am i would have so much more to add rn

#

It's arguable who is and is not evil in overwatch

#

Widow. For example. Could be argued as not evil. Due to being a non independent tool with little free will

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

I'd argue only Reaper is evil

#

Widow is a bitch as well, but she's brainwashed

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

And Doom

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

Doom isn't evil

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

DF has a goal, so it isn't the 100% terrible person

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

He's just a man who gets what he wants

#

By force

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

Also idk what I did but all the discussions are hidden for me unless a new message pops up and idk how to fix it

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

Doom is incredibly evil. He wants to create another world war just for some notion of survival of the fittest

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

There's an arrow on the left of the groups, click it.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

That is more evil than just killing for shits and giggles

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

It's still not evil intent

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

It's a very cold kind of evil

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

THANK YOU

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

Doom just wants the world the way he wants

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

my name...

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

And his world view is twisted

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

All world views are twisted

#

That's why they're views

#

Our world right now is complete shit and you don't see people complaining for more than 2 seconds before going back to their lives

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

Doomfist is a vicious Darwinist with a calculated face

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

^

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

He's a very smart boy though

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

And that changes nothing

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

I also don't get why he would want the world the way he wants

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

If anything it further proves he is evil

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

But there's probably a good reason

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

He should be smart enough to understand better

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

I suspect that part of the reason he believes in survival of the fittest is because he is one of the fittest.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

But alas. He doesnt. He's evil

#

Exactly

#

And his goals are very 1920's sciencey

#

Survivlai of the fittest

#

And history has shown what becomes of those ideas

#

Sombra is a total dickweed. But not all that evil

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

Yo who's to say a Darwin ruled world would be so bad

#

Doomfist would

#

Doomfist is smart boy

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

If You want an example of mean not always being evil

#

A Darwinist ruling the world would suck

#

A Darwinist once ruled a nation

#

His name was Adolf

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

I mean, he did save the economy and his country from depression.

#

Too bad he killed millions of people

#

In a very bad way

#

While trying to rule the world

#

But still Doomfist is a smart boy

#

He probably knows what he's doing

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

He's smart. But he's still evil

#

In no way is he heroic

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

He obviously isn't

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

What he is doing is trying to ignite a conflict that would kill millions

#

All for his own world view of might makes right

#

That is why i think he is the most evil playable character in OV

#

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I thought this was Buzzfeed 😦

timid eagle Apr 10, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

Out of the cast, the only hero that is villainous (in the more traditional sense) would be Mei. /s

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

Probably billions, considering population growth and potential casualties.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

We don't know the population of OVs world as of 2070ish

timid eagle Apr 10, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

But seriously, Doomfist is one bad mumba jumba.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

In 2040 there was the first omnic crisis

#

So that might have knocked the world population down quite a bit already

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

Which made humanity stronger

#

OH SHIT

#

Are you seeing the dots

#

I see the dots

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

No it didnt

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

Doomfist was always right 5Head

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

Junkrat is evil. But a very carnal evil

#

He has zero ambition

#

Zero goals

#

Just make mayhem cause it's fun

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

Woah woah think about it though

#

Maybe Junk doesn't enjoy killing people and just likes blowing stuff up

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

I never said he enjoyed killing

#

I said he enjoyed causing mayhem

#

Which. With him involves explosions

#

Which likely results in causality

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

Of course

#

But do we know if he cares about collateral damage

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

With explosions?

#

Why would he care. Explosions by nature cause it

#

Where on the scale of evil would you put Moira

#

She's very collected and very composed

#

But cold as ice to the human condition

#

Ethics be damned she must SCIENCE

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

Well, she's got a purpose.

#

And she seems to care decently enough about other people that do well by her as long as they don't stand between HER and Discovery.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

She's a very....industrial kind of evil

#

Social evil you might call it

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

So I'd just call her Effiecient

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

I'd hardly call it etticient

#

It's efficient at the cost of forsaken mortality

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

Well, you gotta crack some eggs to make a few omelets.

#

Moira just decides to use Lab Rats and a few contracted people to do her work.

#

I'd definitely call her efficient.

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

A reminder that prototype art of her had her suit have wacky ass Doc Ock like tentacles

#

Imagine that as an archives skin

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

Morally bad, but efficient.

#

Can you send a link to that

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

In a minute when I find it

#

It's hella cool

Is it this one

#

Seems like a clear nodge to the Octo guy

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

Yeah that's the one

#

Just imagine Moira fuckin slamming Genji back and forth like that Manray clip from Spongebob

#

With those arms

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

Certainly more fun than sucking people

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

S U C C

#

She sucked 3 men to death in 3 seconds

Oh the things you can get for a dollar

Dear God

#

Crazy

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

Just reread Junk's comic and he doesn't seem to give that much of a damn about casualties

#

Guy obviously doesn't wanna murder innocents but he doesn't seem to care that much about hostages

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

Wonder what Hammond/Ash/Baps dance emotes will be

#

Ashs dance emote really ought to involve Bob

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

I don't think we can discuss this here

#

Jewvia is still awake and you know how things are when Jewvia is awake :))))

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

Pffft. We spent nearly 15 minutes talking about the definition of evil

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

ok guys quick question

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

30

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

And longer talking about tank concepts

#

Don't worry about it

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

anyone able to understand what the chinese and koreon combination of the trailer mean

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

Really general, overwatch, and lore channels here all serve the same purpose

#

No I do not

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

at the vid 0.08, there is a mix of chinese and korean

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

Don't expect a big revelation from it

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

i only understnad half of it cause its in chinese, but the other half i do not know korean

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

There's one week, there would only be an ARG if it was a hero a while away.

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:15 AM

#

it kind means

#

you'll laugh, i'll laugh, and they will all too

#

but i do not know that the AB part is

zinc ledge Apr 10, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

Maybe it's meaningless

#

Who knows

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

I think it's just gibberish

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

who knows

#

but why would they put itthere

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

to make it look cool

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

I actually like the idea that since all of the heroes have great mobility, it could be some sort of chase mission after Maximillien, fighting bosses and units and hopping from roof to roof while the weather gets worse

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

also a battle against time

#

if you take too long

#

you lose

#

and max gets away

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

Yea, we actually discussed this with Doctor earlier

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

oh

#

nice, but what i really want to see is intereaction between talon moira and reaper

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

we did?

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

i conic

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

Kind of, we touched on it a bit

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

more releases tmr

#

fingers crossed

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

you probably won't get that in this mission Gaiza

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

Reyes is still with Overwatch

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

oh yeah right

#

keeps forgetting

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

I don't expect to see any named heroes on the enemy team for this one

#

it'll probably just be Talon units again

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

but this leads to the big winston and akande, but thats in nubani

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

not Numbani

#

Singapore

finite sentinel Apr 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

oh

#

right

#

me dumb

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

it's okay, not many people know it's not Numbani

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

We actually get to see Max in this mission, which is exciting

#

But I guess that Max must get away in the end, since he is in the DF comic

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

oh

#

I just had a thought

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

Yea?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

what if instead of pushing a payload, we have to stop the payload

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

Hmm

slow goblet Apr 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

Ooooooo

#

Yeah I like that idea

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:32 AM

#

the payload being Max's entourage

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

Maybe you have to hold the payload till the storm hits?

#

I actually saw an idea, that gameplay-wise, if they were to release the map, it could be a hybrid/escort with Max/entourage being the payload

#

So how does the distillery play into all this

#

Also, I don't know how Blizzard would handle you having to STOP the payload, since in all of the other maps, you moved around the map and viewed all of the locations, but on this map, you had the possibility of capping Max at some point and not seeing the entirety of the map they created

#

I can't really see them doing this from a financial/marketing point of view

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:38 AM

#

I dunno, it was just a late night brain fart

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:38 AM

#

Yea, great idea tho!

limpid agate Apr 10, 2019, 6:38 AM

#

what if instead of pushing a payload, we have to stop the payload

#

Would be too easy

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Why?

limpid agate Apr 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Also wouldnt let you see the whole map

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Yea, that was one of my points

limpid agate Apr 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Unless you lose

#

Stopping payloads is easier than pushing them

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

like I said

#

brain fart

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

I would absolutely love if they used the Hurricane as a feature

#

Like parts of the map being washed away or you being pulled into the ocean if not careful

limpid agate Apr 10, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

It will probably function as the time limit

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

Most likely

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

Is there a reason why Hammond is a hamster?

#

Just seems like a random animal choice.

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

Not particularly.

#

Easy to raise, comparatively small, cute, domesticated...

hard leaf Apr 10, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

It would've been funny if he'd been a bird, and there were some interactions between him and Bastion's bird.

#

Although I'm not sure how the fight mechanics would work.

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

He'd be a really fat bird, so no flight necessary.

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

becuase monkeys and hamsters are usually lab pets

hard leaf Apr 10, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

I would’ve preferred a rat to a hamster

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 8:19 AM

#

Would that really change?

hard leaf Apr 10, 2019, 8:45 AM

#

I don't know why I think it would be fun if Hammond had a tail.

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 10:14 AM

#

No offense, but you have no sense of humor

hard leaf Apr 10, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

I didn't say it to be funny.

#

But none taken.

river mason Apr 10, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

Perhaps it’s like a capture mission or a pursuit mission?

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 11:53 AM

#

probably it will end up like antonio. the plan is gonna fail and they're going on a chase with maximillien before he runs away

#

(i know they killed antonio, i was just referring to the "plan b")

cinder dock Apr 10, 2019, 12:36 PM

#

What if for stormrising its 2 teams against eachother, one being talon/baddies protecting max and the others being overwatch

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 12:55 PM

#

That's what I thought

#

Considering the fact you have the overwatch strike team

#

and the "freelancers"

#

You'd get the achievements based on whether you won on which team

#

Freelancers being people Max hired to protect him, Overwatch doing overwatch things

analog heron Apr 10, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

I always thought it would be good at a "good guys vs bad guys" type of scenario

spiral timber Apr 10, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

but archives is pve

#

thatd be fun tho

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 1:27 PM

#

Nope, if it was pvp it would fuck the lore

pallid current Apr 10, 2019, 1:36 PM

#

Do u think Max is going to be a hero

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

How would it fuck the lore lol @teal meadow

spiral timber Apr 10, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

@pallid current maybe probably not

#

maybe in the far future when they out of ideas

#

id love it but ya, not super likely

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

we wouldn't know who really won

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

"Freelancers" is the achievement for beating All-Heroes mode with 8 different heroes

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

I'm still thinking Mercy, Tracer, Winston, and Genji are getting new skins even if some are epics

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Maximilien definitely didn't hire McCree, Ashe, Baptiste and Bastion to defend him

#

and certainly not the versions of them from 15 years ago

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

What

#

I don't know the lore too well right

#

but I'm sure the deadlock gang wouldn't be shy to do a job for money - especially shooting people

#

Baptiste was a talon soldier

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

this mission takes place 6 years before present

#

McCree is already a member of Overwatch

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Oke

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Bastion is wandering around the Black Forest

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Then yeah im way wrong xd

#

your '15 years ago' threw me off

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

the skins for Deadlock McCree and whatever Ashe is getting represent them as they looked about 15 years ago, before McCree was picked up by Reyes

#

rough crow Apr 10, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Can you fill me in on why we think this doesnt happen 15 years ago?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

because the audio recording said it happens after the King's Row mission, which is Uprising

#

Uprising happened 7 years ago

#

also because Tracer, Mercy, Genji and Winston are on the mission

#

15 years ago, Tracer was 11, Mercy was 22 and not a member of Overwatch yet, Genji was 20 and not cut up yet, and Winston was 15 and still on the moon

something like that

he designed some Omnics, but he didn't personally build the bastion

He designed some boys

iron plume Apr 10, 2019, 7:01 PM

and he did bring it in at the end of Binary

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 7:03 PM

And technically that would make Torb one of the most important characters in the game since No Omnic Crisis = Most of the heroes wouldn't exist if not all

sacred hamlet Apr 10, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

Not false

#

Even though I think they've already confirmed the kids in the Christmas' comic are just Torb's grandchildren

#

So it's all either his or from his kids

#

Which we currently do not know the number of

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

we just know Brigitte is his youngest and none of those kids are hers

dawn halo Apr 10, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

And since Brigitte is 23, Torb was at least 34 when all of his kids were alive.

#

Torb is 57 currently. So he is old enough to be a grandfather, and probably in a few years, a great grandfather.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

his oldest grandchild looks like they're 12-13 years old

#

so unless he has others, he won't be a great grandfather for another decade at least

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:39 PM

Storm Rising is like

#

very close to Doomfist cinematic

#

which is also pretty close to Overwatch disbanding

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

how long are we going to repeat that?

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

so I wonder what other Archives will they go along with

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

but yeah

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

I genuinely do not expect them

#

to make a Talon Archives

#

unless they actually add a Talon Tank and/or healer

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

they have 2 Talon healers

#

they don't need a tank for an Archives mission

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

I guess they could make it work without a tank

#

but Moira is after Overwatch falling so you'd have to restrict it to after overwatch falling events

#

it cant be any actual past early events of Talon

#

I dont consider Baptiste to be a part of the higher up units that are Widowmaker Sombra and Doomfist

#

Because to me it seems like hes just a regular medic on the frontlines

#

he could possibly be part of the higher ups in his late career, but i dont see it honestly

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

There's the working hypothesis that she was working for both at the same time

#

Moira I mean

#

Doomfist is part of the council now, but who knows if he always was

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

I find it highly unlikely Moira worked for Overwatch while in Talon

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

Sombra and Widowmaker are important, but who knows where they fall on the ladder

#

Okay

#

Other people think it's not as farfetched

#

She's not exactly loyal to anyone

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

For someone who claims that Overwatch restricts her research and shuts it down

#

I do not see her working for Overwatch

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

She doesn't work for Overwatch proper

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

I only see her working for Talon since it seems like she actually has scientific freedom

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

She was in Blackwatch

#

I'm talking past events

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

im talking about the hypothesis that Moira is a double agent

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

Not current, because yeah, you're right

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

Moira being genuinely shut down for her research and Blackwatch offering her a chance seems sufficient enough for her scientifc freedom

#

I dont see why she would join Talon while Blackwatch gave her the tech she needed

#

also it seems like Doomfist and Sombra were definitely in Talon long before Overwatch's fall

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

Because maybe they gave her more. Or something different

#

Or simply another means to research

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

Doomfist was already an established villain in Talon and is the one fighting Overwatch before its fall

#

plus both of them have Talon skins

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

Her science is the most important thing to her, I'd be surprised if she didn't take more than one opportunity to practice it

#

Yeah, I said who knows if he was always on Talon's council

#

There may have been a time he was lower rank

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

Seeing as how immediately after breaking out he was already back to his leadership status

#

and how the other Talon agents tried to obtain the gauntlet

#

I think hes been there for a long time to say

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

Obv

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

I feel like Sombra would also be on Talon's council for a reasonably long time

#

her skills would be incredibly essential

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

We know for sure Widow, Sombra, and Doom were more than just grunts

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

it wouldnt surprise me at all if she quickly rose through the ranks

last inlet Apr 10, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

Eventually

#

She seems more interested in her own thing tho

#

Pretty much all of them are, tbh

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I doubt Doomfist is

#

and Reaper

#

but the rest seem to have their own established goals besides Talon

#

Sombra is just after info, Widow is just a serial killer and Moira just wants research

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

we know that Talon is using her tech/research around this point

tawny patio Apr 10, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

Serial killer is a funny way of saying brainwashed assassin

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

its unknown whether she gave it to them or if Talon stole it

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

brainwashed assassin

#

sure

#

but she pretty much says that she enjoys killing

#

its like the peak of her life at every moment

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

but I don't think Talon would be able to reproduce Moira's work without getting it from her directly

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

Moira wants her research to be used

#

thats pretty much the point of her doing it at all

#

she wants to change the world with the tech she has

#

it wouldnt be much of a bother to give the research you have to research even more

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

she does things for the sake of science

#

not because she wants to change the world

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

when giving it is not only a good field test but also a way to see the effects of your tech

#

pretty much says at the end of her origin story

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

so in that sense, yes she was working for Talon

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

that shes curious what world she can make with this new work

#

I think shes pretty satisfied as well that her work is being used

#

seeing as how she refers them as patrons

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

I think most of the missions we'll get for Archives will happen around this period

#

they can't do omnic crisis missions because Jack, Ana and Gabe would need different kits

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

yeah it feels obvious it would be around this period

#

seeing as how this is Archives

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

and anything present day wouldn't be in an archive

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

not really hinting at current time events

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

lets talk about why ana didnt want pharah joining overwatch pharas dad and anas fake death

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

pharahs dad faked death?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

no

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

thought so

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

no pharahs dad and anas fake death

#

soz forgot the and

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

Ana went MIA after a failed mission

#

Sam is still alive and well

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

I havent read a single thing about Pharahs Dad faking death

#

Ana was MIA but you can definitely see that she is in a hospital

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

do you think sam will ever be an character

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

lol no

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

Pharah went to visit him during the holidays

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

so Ana did presumingly fake death for a while

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

That brings the question. Did Reyes have his shadow powers during the time of Retribution? And did the others, besides Moira ofc, know about it?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

I'd like the know more about him and his relationship with Ana/Pharah

#

@gentle token he was starting to develop them, thanks to Moira

#

we don't know if the others knew

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

I dont know if Overwatch wants to keep lore safe on story

#

but it seems like he was only starting to delve into moiras rabbit hole of shadow powers

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

Thank you 😁

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

if Genji and McCree noticed, they didn't say anything

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

I wasnt sure if they kept it for games sake or if it was lore friendly

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

Moira does ask Reyes how he's feeling, implying she had already started working on him

#

he replies "Fine - no ill effects so far."

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

So, developing them for sure, but we're not quite sure the extent of what he could do at that point

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

he had his full range of powers for gameplay sake

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

Makes sense

#

Speaking of that interaction. What is the story behind Mercy and Reapers interaction when she asks what happened to him and he aggressively says "you tell me, doc" implying that she should know.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

why would she ask if she already knew?

#

if a doctor asks about your swollen hand and you say "you tell me doc", you're not accusing the doctor of making your hand swell up

#

you're asking because they're a doctor and might know the cause

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

yes resurection

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

no

#

resurrection isn't canon

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Maybe he just sounded too agressive and accusing in tone? Idk

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Mercy was not involved in turning Reyes into Reaper

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Then what's the point in that voice line?
Imma see if I can find audio of it real quick

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

have you seen the line where moira asks mei hows you chyro research going on or something like that

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

Mercy asks what happened to him because he doesn't look normal

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

desert yacht Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

do you think the super soldier enhancements had an effect on changing him from reyes to reaper?

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

no

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Reaper answers like that because that's his personality

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

the super soldier enhancements had an effect on making him Reyes

#

as he is strong now

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

it's not an accusation

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

But I'm more curious as to Reapers meaning

#

Also yes that could most likely be it

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

he's not a friendly character

#

he's aggressive and mean

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

So basically his answer could almost be summed up as him saying "piss off"?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

basically

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

guess what i heard in game Mercy: This is not what I intended, Reyes. Reaper: You knew exactly what you were doing

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

that isn't in the game

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

Probably people misheard a line and it got passed into oblivion

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

my friend said he heard this linen is it true McCree (After killing enemy Reaper): Some one had to do it, seems fitting it'd be me

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

yes, McCree says that

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

That one is real

#

My favorite is Tracer mocking him when she kills him

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

but McCree doesnt canonically know that Reaper is Reyes

#

not yet, anyway

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

McCree only says that to really only people who he sees as like

#

ugly

#

gone too far atleast

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Who all does? Ana and Jack do, but who else? (Besides Moira, Akande, Sombra, and possibly Widow)

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

I like when Widow kills McCree/Soldier and says "psh, Americans.'

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Lol

#

That's a fave too

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

@gentle token that's it

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

canonically thats about it

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

i like when lucio tells tracer all race you

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Jack, Ana, Sombra, Doomfist

#

Widowmaker maybe

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

whait i cant keep up whos in talon

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

Talon is Doomfist Reaper, Widowmaker, Sombra, Moira and Baptiste

#

with Sanjay and Max as NPCs

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

Bap formally

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:24 PM

Baptiste left recently

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

thx

#

do you know what is junkrats treasure

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

nope

#

nobody knows

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

Only Junkrat

#

Dunno if even Hog knows

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

are junkrat and roadhog even buddies or just co robbers

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Junkrat probably doesn't even know what it is, just that it's valuable

#

Roadhog is his bodyguard

#

Junkrat likes Roadhog, but it doesn't seem to be mutual

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

poor junkrat

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

Hog does seem to be warming up to him a bit

dense estuary Apr 10, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

I keep my own theory that it’s from the Omnium and is a data core of some kind. JR does not know that but anything people are willing to kill you over must have some value.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

yeah, that's what I'm thinking

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

might be

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

What if it's a data core to another god ai like anubis?

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

it's not "treasure", its knowledge

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

That'd be interestint

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

What if junkrat forgets it in the end

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

~~what if the writers forget it in the end~~

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Thaaaaaaat seems more likely lol

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

ThinkingSombra

dense estuary Apr 10, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

Could be an AI. Might be incriminating information too, Imagine if the jailed Omnica somehow triggered the crisis

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

What if its the ai at the end of the mcree short

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Echo?

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

yeah

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

how could it be? Echo was in America

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

and on a train

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

and Echo is a robot, not an AI

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

yeah buuuuuut what if its the programing not the actual physical hard copy

#

oh

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

McCree had Echo's program/memories on a datachip

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

asshe might steal it and team up with junkrat(prob not wild guess)

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Echo went to meet with Winston

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

KIDNAPPING

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Ashe didn't really know what it was either

wicked robin Apr 10, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

yeah but she knew mcree wants it

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

that was obvious

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

But I don't think she knows where he sent it

#

Plus I doubt Ashe would travel all the way to Gibraltar, or wherever Winston is, to get it back

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

i can't be the only one that noticed that talon has only members that don't really gives a shit about talon..

#

doomfist wants the war

#

sombra just manipulate

#

reaper wants revenge

#

moira is there for science

errant willow Apr 10, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

omfg

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

and widow is just there because she is bored apparently

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

But all see Talon as a viavle asset to getting what they want

stark furnace Apr 10, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

i wonder did widow have a kid

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Working for Talon is like making a deal with the devil. They'll give you what you want, but in return you serve them.

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Widow is sadistic

#

she likes killing

#

shes also brainwashed

#

so theres that

stark furnace Apr 10, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

what about before she went to talon

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

I think Widow only like killing because it causing her to feel something

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

Widow is there because Talon is controlling her

stark furnace Apr 10, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

thats true

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

and because killing is the only thing that makes her feel alive

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

Imagine being emotionless and unable to feel. Now imagine one stimuli that does make you feel, anything. You'd probably get addicted

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Doomfists intentions seem more likely to allign with Talon

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Plus the first thing she did was kill Gerard. Could be a memory trigger for her

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Reaper also doesnt seem to ahve any other intention leaving Talon

#

except for like Revenge

#

but thats about it

#

Moira

#

moira is like nonexistent in current lore showings so

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

she hasn't done much lately

gentle token Apr 10, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

It's hinted that she's at Oasis, or at least some of her work is

teal meadow Apr 10, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

yeah. i just hope mercy, or someone that feel pity for widow, will try to heal her

sterile zodiac Apr 10, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

#

extremely optimistic

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

So Overwatch

#

That's kinda the running theme

#

Sure, we got terrorists and world war crisis looming

#

But in the darkest of nights, that's when even the dimmest light of hope shines its brightest

#

That light is Overwatch

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

yes

#

it's all about heroes and an optimistic future

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

I may be stupid but this game gives me the warms and fuzzies for a reason

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

just watching the "We are Overwatch" ad gives me the warm fuzzies

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

The Rein short made me lowkey cry a bit

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

sometimes I'll watch the "Are you with us?" vid when the game starts up

#

and it makes me want to join Overwatch/answer the recall

desert yacht Apr 10, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

but first you've got some business to attend to

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 10:10 PM

Who wouldn't want to be a hero with Winston?

#

The guy is amazing

#

And always has your back

desert yacht Apr 10, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

winston's only flaws are socially

#

awkward, especially when it comes to human romance

#

and his temper i guess

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 10:11 PM

human romance?

#

lol

fringe blade Apr 10, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

Imagine how exciting it will be for new players when they join the game during Archives and there are like 4-5 events to choose

#

If they put it in timeline order, it would almost be like a little story

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

Winston's social awkwardness makes him a more appealing character

#

makes him relatable

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

I imagine it'll be very disappointing to the new players coming in and seeing how much more lack luster the other events are

limpid agate Apr 10, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

New players will like Halloween still

#

And maybe Lucioball

#

Anniversary has always just been an arcade update, which I am fine with.

#

Christmas/CNY were disappointing though

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Halloween is the one event I wouldn't mind if they didn't change every year

#

the rest could use a makeover

somber birch Apr 10, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

why dont they update events

#

what are they busy with

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

They do.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

they said they were focusing on game balance

#

and some new features

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

They haven't made new events, but they try to avoid running the same thing each year.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

all they do is give us new maps

#

we've had Lucioball, Junkenstein, Mei's Snowball Offensive and Capture the Flag for 3 years now

#

Archives is the only event that is new every time

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

Mostly variants, you can't expect new modes every time.

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

variants?

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

Wait, no

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

Lucioball had a minor mechanical update

#

Junkenstein gained an extra boss

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

I was wrong about mostly new

#

Lucioball and CTF are pretty much the same afaik

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

yes

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

Snowball offensive is the same, but they made yeti hunt for winter too

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

WW got a new mode 2 years ago

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

Junkenstein got a new boss and a new set of heroes

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

they're still mostly the same

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

And Archives has a new thing each year ofc

peak escarp Apr 10, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

it doesn't have to be something big

#

it could be like a minigame - hide and seek, or Reinhardt races (or RIP tire races)

#

or Lucio volleyball

worthy rose Apr 10, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

that would be amazing

wtf does the junkra skin have to do with archives

fair widget Apr 11, 2019, 12:18 AM

i hate this skin especially for an archives addition

supple bear Apr 11, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

exactly wut i was thinking

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

unless he was actually in the circus, this is very out of place

supple bear Apr 11, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

is this like one of junkrats costumes while he was on his world robbery spree thing?

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

at least Lucio's skin last year was from his concept art

white cobalt Apr 11, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

@peak escarp Have the epic being related to archives?

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

usually they are

#

the only Archives epics are Lieutenant Wilhelm and Null Sector Bastion

white cobalt Apr 11, 2019, 12:20 AM

Yeah

#

Odd, retribution was full legendaries

supple bear Apr 11, 2019, 12:22 AM

i feel like this skin should be for anniversary...

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:22 AM

yeah

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

We really don't get enough epics

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

they stopped doing epics for a while

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

That's actually quite a shame, I find that some epics are very nice: they are neat and aren't a lot at once thrown at you, you know?

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

iirc in year 2 they didnt release any epics

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

For Archives?

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

for anything

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

Really?

#

I mean, there were the additions to the lootboxes, like the Zenyatta and Mcree, but don't know if that counts

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

between Uprising and the loot box update in Jan 2018, there were no epics

#

and then we didnt get epics again until . . . Summer Games 2018?

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

Yea

#

IMO its better if there is a balance between epics and Legendaries

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

that's basically a whole year

#

yes

#

epics are good

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

that makes the legs more unique and gives them time to work on the Legendaries more

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

some of my fave skins are epics

#

like Reaper's Shiver

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

Yea, his Hell skin is also really awesome

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

and Tracer's Rose

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

I actually really like the Mcree American skin, don't know why

#

Its really neat, IMO

#

omg

#

Scrooge

#

How did I forget

#

What an awesome skin

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:32 AM

Scrooge is my least favorite McCree skin

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:32 AM

it looks grungy

#

Now that I am looking at it, that's very true

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

he needs a better Winter skin

#

it's the only event he doesn't have legendary for

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

But my least fav. skin is definitely the vigilante/mystery man

#

they just look really silly

#

Like characters from a French or Mexican comedy movie

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

Mystery Man is okay

#

Vigilante is atrocious

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:34 AM

I think its the mask that ruins it for me

non-canon Archives skins is a bit... bleh

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:34 AM

what if it is canon

devout sable Apr 11, 2019, 12:35 AM

Lucio and Junkrat skins both seem to be non-canon

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

what if Junkrat has a circus background that we didn't know about?

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

Might account for his insanity, lol

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

would explain why he can juggle

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

How old is he, anyway

#

25

#

Hmm

#

He's very young

devout sable Apr 11, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

when exactly would he have an opportunity to join a circus?

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

Unless he was part of a circus as a child, I don't see it

#

And, honestly, its not that great of a skin

#

IMO

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

idk

#

we don't know much about him

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

And I think it is a disadvantage gameplay-wise, its so bright and colorful

#

It fits his profile tho

#

He is a juggler

#

You get very Joker-y kind of vibes from him

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

he doesn't remind me of Joker much at all

#

Joker is threatening, Junkrat is just comical

sterile zodiac Apr 11, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

depends on which Joker you refer to lol

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

The new Joker :))

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 12:57 AM

circus joker?

you mean clown

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 12:58 AM

Just call him a clown dude

My bad

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

at least this one isn't as creepy as his Jester skins

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 12:59 AM

#

Either it's pretty obvious he's supposed to look like some kind of Joker

#

Prob the Joker card itself

#

Which would be a Jester

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Ah yes, just like pj Mei, this skin makes me want to commit toaster bath

#

It's almost traditional this feeling now

fleet tiger Apr 11, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

Junkrat the Clown is canon, but not to the specific lore we currently have. Perhaps we will learn that he had a dark, clown past before he met Roadhog.

#

Which would be insanely hilarious and why would they not do that

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

the Joker is always green and purple, not cyan and magenta, so I don't really see it

fleet tiger Apr 11, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

This is Jamison’s take on the movie It 😂

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

@gentle token what's so bad about Pajamei?

#

it's cute, and aside from the gun, its canon

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

The outfit is cute, but idk it just feels so off for this event. For anniversary I would've been fine with it

#

I'm the type where if something seems off theme to me it'll bug me for weeks ;w;

#

Or forever

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

this event is for canon/historical skins

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

Yeah but the weapon isn't

#

For example gow Talon Widow looks slightly off from Talon Sombra and Doom. Love the skins but the slight off of it bugs me so much

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

neither is Formal Doomfist's gauntlet

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

But that's anniversary

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

oh right

#

eh, I just think that's a minor detail

#

certainly not one to "commit toaster bath" over

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

Mearly an exaggeration to express my dislike of it

#

Also was Junk ever a clown in lore?

#

At least that we know of?

#

(I'm just pumped for the Ashe and McCree skins hinted at)

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

No

#

Great chance Junk was just a normal citizen before the blast

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

Wasn't Junk like a child at the time of the blast?

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

Not sure

#

Ask the Doc 💿 for the timelines

#

"Like many others, he was affected by the lingering radiation. This touch of madness made him ideal for handling dangerous explosives, a love which he turned into an obsession"

#

Seems like he handled explosives way before the blast

#

Don't think clowns or everyday entertainers deal with explosives that often

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

he was a child

#

<10

devout sable Apr 11, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

there's no window for Junkrat to be a clown

#

I mean, he could've been some sort of entertainer in Junkertown

#

but a circus clown specifically? there's just no place for it

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

no window?

#

we don't know anything about him before his appearance in the bar in Wasted Land

#

that's 25 years of window

#

we don't even know how old he was when he found his "treasure"

limpid agate Apr 11, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

Well, at least we now have definitive proof that not all Archives skins are lore skins

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

"definitive"

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

What skin isn't a lore skin ❔

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

this doesn't prove anything until Blizz/Chu either confirms or denies that Junkrat was in the circus

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 1:57 AM

#

Didn't even realize a new skin for Junk came out

#

Not only does it look bad but it looks out of place for him.

#

Junk working as a clown just doesn't make sense for me.

#

Definitely have to wait for confirmation on that one

#

Maybe we'll have a cinematic dedicated to him this year

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 2:18 AM

#

The only thing I can think of is he disguised himself as a clown at some point to rob something for the treasure trap to give the queen

prisma wren Apr 11, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

wait theres a new junk skin?

#

whats it like

#

nvm

#

saw it

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

Don’t worry. That hunk of meat (AKA Baptiste) got his Talon skin.

“I used to think that.. My life was a tragedy.”

“But now I realize.. It's a comedy.”

Junkrat, 2019

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

I really wish they stuck with lore based skins for archives, this Junkrat skin is out of place and gross

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

It feels like an Anniversary Skin.

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

It feels like a skin that should go in the trash

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

Regardless, there hasn’t been ANYTHING to suggest Junkrat had an odd job as a circus clown.

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

It seems random to say Junkrat is a clown

prisma wren Apr 11, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

besides the fact that he laughs like a clown on crack

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

A skin where Junkrat dresses up as the king of Junkertown would be cool

#

Like a make shift crown and cape

#

His missing leg could be like a scepter

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 2:57 AM

#

Like Starscream in the 80’s Transformers movie?

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

Owait yes

#

I found the right pic

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 3:00 AM

#

A Roadhog Outback Resistance Skin would be my pick.

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

When's the last time mei got a new skin?

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

Technically, it would’ve been last year’s Halloween event.

#

With the Pumpkin Epic Skin.

#

She also got both her ECO Point and Pyjama skins, so I think she’s good.

quasi siren Apr 11, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

Mm

#

I'd like it if they stopped making epic skins for more legendary skins, but I know that is more expensive

timid eagle Apr 11, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

I personally like most of the designs for the Epic skins. Hellfire Reaper is a great one, for instance.

gentle token Apr 11, 2019, 3:28 AM

#

I just wish they'd add more base game items rather than event only stuff

quick isle Apr 11, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

I wish there was less voice lines because to be honest does anyone every use them outside of spawn?

#

I think we will get winston and genji's overwatch skin too

worthy rose Apr 11, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

Hopefully.

limpid agate Apr 11, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

I dont think they will get skins

#

The achievements seem to indicate they will be fighting in the same outfits they wore in the Doomfist Anime that takes place shortly after

hasty surge Apr 11, 2019, 4:57 AM

#

Hmm so what would mercy wear?

#

Her normal skin?

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 4:59 AM

#

yes

fringe blade Apr 11, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

So would the Genji Overwatch outfit just be his default skin?

#

Just curious tho @fleet tiger , how is Junkrat Clown canon?

limpid agate Apr 11, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

As of now

#

There is 0 indication its canon other than it simply existing in the lore event

#

Which isn't grounds for being canon by default

#

See:

Equalizer
Scion
Specimen 28
The upcoming Bastion legendary

hasty surge Apr 11, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

What is this list?

#

And jewvia do you have the skin count?

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 6:43 AM

#

Bastion's new Legendary could very well be one of the new enemy Omnic's models

#

They've already done that for both Bastion and Orisa

#

Specimen 28 is also related to the suits they used to wear back at the Lunar Colony so I don't see how that wouldn't work as a Lore skin.

#

Equalizer could be explained as one of Lucio's earliest outfits used back at Rio.

#

Scion is just formal wear and that's expected from Hanzo.

#

Junk's skin is the only that seems out of place compared to everything else

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

maybe junkrat skin is just a score outfit?

#

🤔

@wicked robin ?

wicked robin Apr 11, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

Hmmm maybe it is

last inlet Apr 11, 2019, 7:22 AM

#

I wish they'd have saved it for another batch of non-event skins. Archives is the only event that means anything to Overwatch's narrative, and it's had cosmetics to refer to heroes' history.

#

If they're gonna start throwing just whatever into it, then oof

wicked robin Apr 11, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

What if Lucia ball is an actual sport

last inlet Apr 11, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

🤷

#

The rest of the event doesn't seem interested in whether or not Lucioball is canon in OW world. It's just summer and sports and fun

#

All it really was was the team's first shot at an event-specific mode

wicked robin Apr 11, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

I want more events

#

Like overwatch vs blackwstch

last inlet Apr 11, 2019, 7:33 AM

#

I'd like more lore events through the year, because this once-a-year story mode business is a hard sell for me

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

Winter wonderland is also canon

#

also junkenstein, buts just because reinhard told them a story about it

valid shell Apr 11, 2019, 7:44 AM

#

@teal meadow ?

#

Winter Wonderland isn't canon.

last inlet Apr 11, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

The only canon thing about it is the first Christmas comic

#

And Junkenstein is just a story in OW world

sacred hamlet Apr 11, 2019, 7:48 AM

#

Or is it ❔

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 7:49 AM

#

Yes it, it's still a christmas update....

#

in the comic they celebrate christmas and stuff

valid shell Apr 11, 2019, 7:53 AM

#

Reflections was canon.

#

Nothing else about Winter Wonderland is canon.

somber pilot Apr 11, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

I want to see how the clown skin will fit into canon

#

just what did the boy see in that omnic factory

regal coyote Apr 11, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

@limpid agate look of Specimen 28 might not be canon but the Number 28 is, so at least the lore on it is ok

#

but the rest there is no indication

rough crow Apr 11, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

I'm sure they'll release something that will bring the clown skin into perspective

regal coyote Apr 11, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

for the omnics some are more of an "echo warrior" kinda deal

#

like the ones bastion and orisa have

#

Alsoskin used in the mission should be the canon one

#

so yeah that moira with funny hat skin should be canon

slow goblet Apr 11, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

Well that one makes an appearance in a comic. So I’m pretty sure Moira with a Beret is cannon

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 12:33 PM

#

Let's be honest, we don't really know anything about junkrat childhood, so maybe his parents worked at a circus or it's just an outfit he uses to rob some banks

sterile zodiac Apr 11, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

Moira has weird fashion and dance taste

#

Wouldnt shock me too much if beret was canon

worthy rose Apr 11, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

The beret is canon

#

you see it at the end of the retribution comic

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

and it's also on the retribution pve

#

like, why wouldn't be canon?

worthy rose Apr 11, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

Man Am I looking forward to this year archives event

#

its the best OW event of the year

#

I wonder what the story will be behind this one

teal meadow Apr 11, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

They already announced it

#

Do you live in a cave, lad?

desert hawk Apr 11, 2019, 2:46 PM

i know it's the second time she got a skin

#

but it's amazing

golden pewter Apr 11, 2019, 4:13 PM

Its the same outfit from the origin trailer

supple bear Apr 11, 2019, 4:13 PM

IMO it's too boring

#

the needles are cool i guess

wow, people just can't be happy

golden pewter Apr 11, 2019, 4:15 PM

I like the suit , I'm also happy they're adding more sleeveless skins for her

worthy rose Apr 11, 2019, 4:16 PM

that fingertip thingy

it looks like those spiky things on various tech

but they are needles

I'm slightly disappointed that this skin didn't include her nametag

limpid agate Apr 11, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Neat.

#

A little surprised she got a second skin here

#

But that's mostly because of everyone speculating she would get the demon horns and me disagreeing

#

This is a pleasant surprise

peak escarp Apr 11, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

the skin they want is basically Blackwatch with different headwear

#

this is better

devout sable Apr 11, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

not just headwear

#

the outfit in her origin short is also white rather then grey
