mafia?
Antonio
Antonio provoked Reyes, that's why Reyes killed him
Antonio wasn't just some mobster, he was a Talon leader
I sometimes get the feeling Doctor_Six-San works for blizzard due to how much you know about the lore. How do you... hmm what’s the word... what did you do that makes you know and remember so much about the lore?
Dedication
Answer was a bit long tho..why he turn bad?
Like hes all buddy buddy with OW gang and then bam
I have a deep interest in lore and storytelling, and an ADHD brain that latches onto a topic like a wolverine and won't let go
we don't know why Reyes turned bad - we dont have the full story yet
also it's easy to keep track of the lore and have sources at my fingertips with the database I made

Is there a canon explanation for Mercy's res?
Her staff apparently like resets their heart
Looking at more and apparently it's not Canon, only in game
She would probably have a defibrillator somewhere as part of her equipment though
Even if it isn’t specifically for that ability
Her resurrection doesn't bring people back from death in canon
this is canon rez
Mei's down but not out, Mercy brings her back into the fight
@hybrid ploverThis is a sfw server
Also, shitposting will result in a loss of access.
I’m confused about this. So Brig, a person who hated and never trusted Overwatch due to “because of how they treated Reinhardt”, why does she just randomly help Overwatch in the umm.. the short advertising OW2 since again she hates and doesn’t trust Overwatch. Is there even an answer to this or is this just a plot hole?
she goes to support Reinhardt
I see, well that clears that up. Thanks Doctor_Six-San
Really contrast with how Pharah feel about OW
Pharah : OW
Ana : Nu
Torb : OW
Brig : Nu
What?
Can you rephrase that.
Its just different how their kids sees OW
Brig decided to help at the short movie because she support rein..not because where his dad works?
Yeah. Its also been teased that Bastion will be joining in Torbjorn's palce.
Maybe Torb didnt do "bring ur kids to workplace"
The way she said about OW in glory short is like..bad
But pharah not negative about it tho
Like she wanted join so bad..headscratcher now
Brig wasn't negative until Reinhardt was forced to retire
Owh
Theres a good chance she joins but as of right now she is only affiliated with Helix
well, the storyboards are still unofficial
But yes it's just about confirmed
Where did mercy come from
No, like she fell from the fucking sky
she's flew down from the ship
Ohh
Actually not the ship since she wasn't with Winston
Assuming the second ship had genji reinhardt brig and mercy?
Brig and Rein came on their bus
I know that but how did they get there in the first place
Actaully
Nvm its animation magic
Can I ask a random question?
Was Mercy ever actually confirmed to be Genji’s doctor or is it just speculation?
Cause as far as I can tell all she did was save his life
Its also implied that they had a relationshsip of some sort
Like on Hanamura they talk about buying eachother chocolate
So def a closer realationship that just one life save
True
It’s also kind of frowned upon because people assume they’re doctor/patient
Or at least were
It’s not stated anywhere that she continued to be his doctor, no
They make no mention of it during the Storm Rising mission
lol i knew you were gonna become at least a regular at some point party magician
I decided to skip past that one
Party is a mod now?
not reading announcements smh
well good, it's nice to have one more that checks the lore channel
Taiga-via???
one more
Congrats, Party!
So in ow2 blizzcon zen is seen standing on his feet, It is canon
yes
wait there wasnt any new animation or origin stories right?
I thought that was so odd, too. Lmao. He does in that one emote I guess.
im not quite following
Not since the 2019 one I’m pretty sure.
well.
oh damn
Yuuuup.
Im tallking about the teased animations for the story in ow2 at blizcon
Kinda sucks we got nothing beside the Tracer comics this year but 
there's a novel coming out in 3 weeks
the preview of the first chapter is out now
Really? Could I get a link?
Link it.
The world still needs heroes. Are you with us? Enter the next original YA novel for Overwatch, the worldwide gaming sensation from Blizzard Entertainment!In the years after the Omnic Crisis, the American Southwest is ruled by vultures looking to profit off the chaos. The West is ripe for the taking, and Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe intends to write ...
Thank you so much! :)

Preview of the upcoming Deadlock Rebels short story can be read here: https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/deadlock-rebels-an-afk-book/9781338740363-item.html
To put them both in the same message
thank you
also the mobile version of the page doesn't have the preview link, only the desktop version
20 chapters.
How long was the Orisa novel
Also at the end there
Sneak Peek
Wonder if this is teasing a skin
Its at the end with the acknowledgements and copyright
So its gotta be on the last page
could be a sneak peek of the next novel (or of Hero of Numbani)
It'll be something
Hero of Numbani was 19 chapters
So about as long
Cool
So this is 21 years ago
This is now the earliest mention of Helix and Vishkar.
Yeah I figured that out the hard way.
I’ll have to read it later, sadly.
Did genji have any say while he was in Blackwatch? He seems to stay very quiet during the downfall of it, and mainly just seems to be shown as a dude who kills bad guys, and thats it.
In a voiceline he said to Moira that “company is more agreeable these days” or something of the sorts, so I suppose his* silence was more because he didn’t necessarily like the people.
Of course, he also was getting used to being a cyborg for a bit.
he was pretty much used as a living weapon
I don't think he had much input into the decisionmaking
It also seems like his outfit displays his mental state a bit, blackwatch being grim, and his default one being peaceful
not like McCree, who was basically Reyes' right hand man
Do we know much about his thought process back in Blackwatch?
not really
he has the least dialogue during Retribution
he was okay with killing though, and didn't see why killing Antonio was a problem
That's good to know, since he stuck with overwatch but i had no idea of how he felt about killing antonio
Also, as a younger genji, genji seemed like he had little to know interest in combat training, but at this stage he appears to have much more refined skills. Did he take further training with zenyatta or with overwatch possibly?
I’m pretty sure part of that is the fact he was turned into a cyborg. However, I’m also pretty sure him and Hanzo were skilled in combat.
he probably honed his skills while he was with Zen
Probably.
but he was a trained ninja in his youth
He had little interest in the family's illegal businesses, and although he excelled at and enjoyed his ninja training, he spent most of his time pursuing a playboy lifestyle.
With the "playboy" life style, as a more centered genji, does he still have a sense of humor etc?
I think so
He has several voice lines that make me think so, like the halloween costume one.
Nice to know that a dope cyborg ninja still has a somewhat playful personality in that case then
We’ll definitely see more of him in Overwatch 2 so.
Yep, looking forward to his role in the sequel
The thing I find interesting is his character development is basically done—I wonder how big a role he will play due to that.
(He still has stuff with Hanzo, though.)
True, but I'd still really like him to tie up his loose ends with hanzo, and possibly have some interactions with mercy
Hanzo has a lot of potential ngl, since he seems to be in a neutral spot right now
Yeah, looking forward to seeing what Hanzo will do. Most likely he isn’t involved with Ow2 at all (I believe devs categorized Hanzo and Hammond as being less important to the plot, which is true) but we’ll see.
I see people saying he might join Talon but he doesn’t seem to want to in his interactions with Doomfist.
Yeah, he doesnt seem to be a hardcore antagonist like the members of Talon, but he doesn't seem to be helping ppl no matter what like overwatch, and he also seems to stray away from the freelancer oppurtunist, like junkrat and roadie
So lots of room for him to make his own fate
Yeah, I’m excited to see what they do with the characters.
tbh I'd love to get a novel about Hanzo and what he's up to post-Dragons
Same, haha.
I'm excited for the Deadlock novel
just the first chapter has given some juicy worldbuilding
I just read it, I'm really excited LMAO.
His dialogue with tracer too in storm rising
Tracer : u were there..werent u?
Genji : i was a bystander~
Like lul
i also read the deadlock preview
i had no idea the omnics just up and ditched during the crisis
neither did I
that's new info
what we've learned from this first chapter:
- Ashe's family estate is called Lead Rose Manor
- Ashe's ancestor Caledonia Ashe founded the Arbalest Arms Company
- Arbalest’s AA92 rifle was standard issue during the omnic crisis "due to its higher capacity and higher muzzle velocity"
- Ashe lives in a community called Bellerae (Texas, I assume - there is a city called Bellaire in Texas, probably not the same)
- Arbalest is in decline due to lower demands post-crisis
- the Viper rifle was an early Arbalest design, and is over a century old
- Ashe does not like her first name
- Ashe's favourite breakfast is "waffles dripping with syrup and a big side of bacon, extra, extra crispy"
- B.O.B has been with the Ashe family since before the crisis
- B.O.B left during the crisis, and returned with new sentience
- all omnics disappeared during the crisis (hivemind/being controlled maybe?)
The one thing that stood out to me was the mentioning of omnics leaving during the crisis. I find that...Super intriguing?
With the new preview information, it makes a little more sense to say that Aurora's transcendence may have ended or impacted the crisis
possibly
although that would change the narrative that Overwatch ended the crisis (which is repeated in this story)
whoa bob came back with sentinence?
can that do with anything with that one person zen says gave all omnics sentinence
like he said something like this one person died so we could have sentinence
Aurora
she was the first omnic to gain sentience, and ascended into the Iris to give all omnics sentience
yes
ahh ok and also are the omnics like making more of themselves now
yes
ok thx!
Is that also applied to bastion?
I mean does the sentience transfer to active omnics or deactivated also or..?
hmm
that's an interesting question
read Stone by Stone
bet bet 1 sec ty

I mean i guess i know how torb get curious too
Like war robot suddenly goes flower seeing
😅
i wanna know this answer too lol that is a good question
i would assume so since he likes birds now.....?
hmmmmm idk ik that the omniums mysteriously powered on and began to make bastions and stuff
Ah ok
i dont think they did because if they were truly sentinent there would be some who woudlnt want to kill ppl
maybe there were
Or maybe the sentience not enough to overpower the war programming?
I mean bast has a crisis identity for a bit..like attack city or go back to forest a bit
wait, so bob is sentient or sapient?
if he is sapient then Ashe treats him rather poorly
he's sapient, but I don't think she treats him badly
(the writers seem to be using sentient to mean sapient)
that always messes with me
she feels bad when she snaps at him, and considers him as the one true constant in her life
I see, but considering how she ordered him around in the short
that was a tense situation, not to mention the middle of combat
she may feel bad about it, but I don't think she likely does treat many people well
however, perhaps not
she screamed at the other gang members just as much
true, the impression I get from her is that she isn't a very nice person in general
though if he was only sentient it would be less bad, but it does seem to mean sapient
I wonder if he can talk
I suppose not
he might not have the ability to do so depending on how he was designed I guess
the novel might clarify this
I would hope so
I always think "Bob Do something" were meant like "Ill give u chance to take charge for a bit..get in there"
I think she was just flustered
she's got history with McCree, enough to make her lose her cool
I do like to be generous towards people's actions but I have always interpreted Ashe in general as being a jerk that was ruined by her upbringing
or at least that is what I figured Blizzard was going for
though this book ought to put that idea to rest
or not
should be exciting
to me she seems like someone who just wanted her parents' love and attention but she was always secondary to their job
so she lashed out
that was along my line of thought
hurt people hurt people and all that
though perhaps I was assuming a greater extreme
I'm excited to see how she meets McCree
the way it was being framed I had thought they were going to start with her having already known him
with the way the book began I can see them meeting where the chapter ends
considering how McCree is described at the time
described?
Errr
Wasn’t it local ruffian or something like that
Trouble maker?
Basically my guess is they meet in jail
When Ashe is arrested yet again on the morning of her high school graduation, her aloof, old-money parents decide to disinherit her from the family fortune. To steal back what's rightfully hers, Ashe teams up with her omnic butler, B.O.B., and local ruffian Jesse McCree for a series of heists, catapulting the trio into a game of fast money and dangerous alliances. Along the way, Ashe discovers that family isn't just about blood. It's about the people who've got your back when your back's against the wall.
meeting in jail would make sense
(although would the police put a 15/16-year-old in jail?)
Well I think they met when Ashe was like 17?
(I figure they would just call his parents)
Which was why I thought they had met prior
Cuz I thought Ashe would be 18ish when graduating
the story starts the morning of Ashe's highschool graduation, which makes her 17/18
McCree is 2 years younger than her
they're currently 39 and 37 respectively
Yeah, I remembered the age difference
For some reason I remembered them meeting when she was 17 and him 15 so I was sort of assuming she was 18 when graduating and that they had met
Anyway, considering he is a local ruffian, maybe his parents aren’t/around don’t care
McCree was 17 when he joined Blackwatch
I dunno, jail just seems to me like the place where they would meet
It is sort of a decent set up, she goes to jail, meets local ruffian, they hit it off
But considering his age it is a bit of a stretch I guess
Though ow isn’t always all that reasonable
seems like a good story too, being able to tell the gang members you guys met in prison and plotted a bunch of heists
it is cooler than, like, meeting at the local Wal Mart
not that Ashe would go there, being rich and all
anyway, this book has me more excited than Hero of Numbani at least
I also sketched Ashe's Deadlock look! I wanted to include her slingshot from the origins video, but it didn't make the cut.
Crazy that I was 17 when I started playing Overwatch and now I got to design 17 year old Ashe! Thank you to Blizzard and Scholastic for the opportunity!
702
4427
she's 17
seems reasonable
pretty smooth
I’m the hero of numbani story, was there like.. anything at all taht was new? Because when they came out I remember people were excited for it and then everyone stopped talking about t when it came out, like there was nothing new or exciting about it. Was there anything new or major or important in that story?
there was a lot of worldbuilding about Numbani and character building (some literally) for Orisa and Efi
but since they're not major characters or popular, the book didn't get much notice
I think they took a smart approach with the novels
they started off with a minor character - if the book flopped, no big loss
but it did well, paving the way for books about more popular characters and possibly books covering core story
that's something to look forward too instead of ov 2
Why not both
we know when the exact date when the book is going to release
Don't see how that precludes you from looking forward to it
i'm still looking forward to ov 2 but now we will get something new to pass the time
Is it ever mentioned who made Genji's cybernetics?
I know Mercy was the one to heal him up and make him a cyborg, but was she also the one to make the cybernetics? Cause it certainly doesnt look like Torb's handiwork
Overwatch probably employed a cybernetics team
What did Ana take/steal from Mercy again? I remember it being something and now I can’t quite remember.
She didn’t really steal from Mercy directly
But the rifle she uses was originally made by/for overwatch using Mercy’s tech and against her wishes
Oh okay, thank you. 🙏
Im suprised that mercy showed up for winstons recall at all cause mercy tought overwatch was a mistake
The reason she did is explored in the Valkyrie story
but basically Ana convinces her that the new overwatch is different, precisely because people like herself and Soldier aren't in it
she might blame herself for not standing her ground more
But really tho
The core mistake is Reyes turn bad..thats it
Like if ur friend turn bad..u stop them. But I guess at the time she was stationed not in Swiss?
their mistake was having a secret black ops division
what could Mercy do to stop him?
Jack fought him and it led to the Swiss base getting blown up
she wasn't his friend either
"Anymore" u mean?
I really wonder what goes through Reyes mind when he decided to take wrong path
Forgot the past..friends..etc, why the heck would u give up that
Mercy and Reyes were never friends
From Mercy's point of view, the whole Overwatch's path was a mistake for a long time
Ana was "dead"
Even Blackwatch aside
Fine, he still had Jack then
their friendship was breaking after Reyes withheld information from him during Retribution, then fell apart completely after Jack left Ana behind on a mission
Reyes blames Jack for Ana's "death"

and he blames Overwatch for abandoning him to become Reaper
Oof
we don't know the full story, but the blame probably isn't justified
as we saw in Legacy, it was Ana who chose to turn off her comms and fight the sniper
Jack had to get the rescue targets to safety
But now that Ana and Jack alive..i wonder if its too late
Or all of them too stubborn to mend their broken relationship
Then again if Reaper not antagonist anymore itll be weird i guess
I hope they don't mend the relationship.It would be super cliche
I wonder if blizzard forgot about the omnic that's revealed in Storm Rising
Not much has been said about him at all. I wonder if he'll be on of the new playable characters in OW2 alongside Soujourn?
Is he an assassin of some sort?
he'll probably be a major antagonist for OW2
it's speculated that he's the leader/a leader of Null Sector
Hmmm makes sense, just curious, is doomfist the leader of talon
Because it seems to imply HE hired him to do some business with Talon?
yes
Makes more sense now
Doomfist is a member of the Talon council, and seems to be leading them for now
other members of the Talon council include Sanjay Korpal (Vishkar negotiator and Symmetra's boss), Maximilien (omnic casino owner and money launderer), Reaper and Moira
What is Sombra doing? After her cinematic we can see that she just betrays Talon, and took advantage of the oppurtunity at hand. Reaper also has a voice line on Volskaya where he says "Fine, ill do it myself." . Who is she actually working for, or is she just taking advantage of Talon, and gaining intel and power?
She's on her own side. She helps Talon, the "betrayal" was just her wanting Volskaya alive so she could blackmail Volskaya for her own reasons.
Talon doesn't do anything about it because:
- She's more useful alive than dead.
- Doomfist likes ambition
- Her keeping Volskaya alive is coincidentally exactly what Doomfist wanted
Oh, so Talon's aware of it?
Yes
I hope sym gonna join ow even if her boss is in talon, she doesn't seem the type to like talon
I doubt she joins OW
Even if she’s clearly not Talon material either
I have a feeling if she does leave Vishkar she’ll be doing something on her own, probably to fix what she thinks Vishkar was doing wrong or something of the sorts.
i think she will work alongside ow, we already see someone like pharah join ow at blizcon even tough she is/was with helix
and we see zen is playble in the campaing
She’s wanted to work for Overwatch since she was a kid, though.
Pharah was always fangirling over Overwatch yeah
Symmetra doesn't quite align with them on her philosophy
Sym has no interest in joining Overwatch and probably won’t. Not to say that that 100% won’t happen but.
Sym if she is playable
Will most likely work with a member of overwatch
But honestly sym might just have no story
A lot of characters probably wont be involved.
Honestly the storyboards already suggest a lot more than I thought there’d be
I hope we get some ball content but it’s pretty unlikely
Also, again I believe the interview was in French so I can’t be sure, but they confirmed Talon missions which means (if its true) it won’t just be Overwatch.
Half expected Pharah, didn’t expect Zarya
I expected Zarya to join
Considering rein and Zarya are implied to know eachother from the voice lines
called mccree though
Voice lines aren’t canon.
almost all of the roster does if you go by voice lines
those aren’t canon
Yes but no other characters have that many together
That’s actually not true, because Rein and Zarya only have like 3 or 4.
They have more iirc
Let me check, actually.
i think they will try to write alot of charecters in tough
But not all make sence
like hammond
they have two
But someone like orisa could be writen in imo
They said they were trying to, but people like Hammond most likely won’t be involved.
!!lorewiki Zarya/Quotes
For more information about the game, please refer to the wiki: https://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Zarya/Quotes
It’s a variation on the same one
Spawn interactions are more about what actors are available than about canon relationships
They’ve already said that not everyone will be featured
I think there’s a few safe bets on “no”
Again though what we’ve seen is already more than I’d guess on first announcement
Yeah, we’ll just have to see.
Most of my favorite characters don’t seem to be central to the plot but I’m praying.
Yeah. I did see someone say that after the first campaign they could do different campaigns in later years with the not-included characters, so that’s something.
Yeah, the fact shes getting novel next month puts her very low on that list.
That’s just speculation, though.
If I remember correctly, D.va is with Overwatch in one of the storyboards.
Or multiple of them. I think people are assuming she has joined them.
No, only Orisa/Efi and Ashe (next month) have one.
well, Ashe/McCree
I wouldn't say it's because of that though
It's more because she's essentially already played her part in Reunion
There's a slight chance she may have a temporary alliance with Talon
I think the oppisite so possible, Idk what will be said in the comic but maybe mcree can convince ashe to help him in ow
i dont think ashe will help or ally with talon
Ashe hates McCree, that probably isn’t possible.
She is definitely closer to doing a temporary alliance with Talon if its to get her out of trouble.
I doubt she cares about ideals, that wouldn’t stop her.
But technically anything is possible because we don’t know the extended plot of Ow2, so.
!!shitposting @worthy rose
@warm tiger Shitposting will result in a loss of access.
Her ideals are “This is my gang and I’m in charge”, and I’d say she’s pretty protective of those
which is why it’s unlikely she joins Talon
True, true. She probably wouldn’t join them.
But a temporary alliance if their interests align is possible
Also, while she does hate McCree, she’s, well
if you’ll pardon my language, pretty tsundere about it
doesn’t mean she’ll follow him but honestly I could see them teaming up for something if a larger threat arises
I’m not gonna lie that got a chuckle out of me, but I’d have to agree with you on that.
@worthy rose This server is English-only
I thought the factories were shut down
Zenyatta, Echo and Orisa were all made post-crisis
Prior to the omnic crisis
they were shut down before the crisis, then they woke up on their own
Echo is not an Omnic
yes
shes an omnic
They were. But they still exist and some were reopened to not make war machines.
For example, the Nigerian Omnium produced the OR15s.
And the Australian Omnium was a functioning omnium until terrorists blew it up and turned it into Junkertown.
No, Echo is not an Omnic.
Omnic is not a synonym for Robot.
Omnic is a brand of robots made by Omnica's Omniums.
Echo is not an Omnic. She is just a robot, like Snowball or the Hyde Global drones.
right, I forgot
i guess the real point im confused about is why the omniums were shut down. i know there was stuff about financial irregularities or corruption of some kind at omnica. but if they had actually managed to do what they said (ie create omnics) then surely that would be so valuable that the technology would have been sold and been done by another company elsewhere
they weren't able to meet the quotas they promised, and Omnica was investigated for fraud
my assumption was that the production of omnics was so much more expensive than omnica was revealing that in fact it wasnt cost effective to build omnics
but you see what im getting at, and my question stands
other companies can't make them if the tech is patented
and the people responsible for creating them (Dr. Mina Liao, for example) are on an exclusive contract with Omnica
given how lucrative be able to build omnics is, i think that's unlikely
omnica doesnt exist
it was shut down
if it fell into backruptcy, then its assets (eg the intellectual property behind building omnics) would be sold
it didn't go bankrupt
otoh it cant be that hard if efi can do it
true true
then what happened to its assets
she just wrote a personality and applied it to an already built (slightly damaged) omnic
like the basic question i have is: why did the world stop making omnics
probably frozen pending further investigation
they didn't
omnics are still being made
other than the few examples named
there are omniums in Numbani and Siberia that are still producing omnics
probably not on the scale of pre-crisis, but they're still being made
starting a game ty
What came next is well-documented. The omniums began to break down. Independent analysis showed they would never come close to meeting the corporation's promises of growth and output. Omnica was investigated and forcibly dissolved after evidence of fraud was uncovered, its omniums shut down.```
neat! thank you
Does not matter what anyone says here
Doomfist is the most powerful being in overwatch
He’s literally a demigod
A heavy weight champion brawler brute
He's not a demigod.
hard to argue that he's the most powerful when he's been defeated at least once
I dont think billions...I’m pretty sure there are more humans than omnics and the world’s population is only around 8 billion
millions then
Yeah hundreds of millions probably
and in 60 years the population will be a lot more than 8 billion
You could argue that he’s one of the physically strongest
I mean also he got clapped by winston
and he was unable to beat the combined efforts of Lucio and Orisa in The Hero of Numbani
He did not get clapped by Winston yes he lost that one time that’s it
However if a rematch was to happen Winston will get absolutely demolished
They need the whole overwatch team to have a chance at a doomfist by himself
Currently in the lore where he’s at his best rn he’s a Demi god
He always gets better from each battle and actually gets better during a fight as well he always evolves
He’s a Demi god number 1 powerful being in overwatch right now
I’d say Winston is number 2
After that it gets a little confusing
I’d say sigma is up there but his brain is messed up which ruins his potential
I’d say reaper could maybe be in the top 5
Nah I’d say reaper is top 5
I need more suggestions but rn I’d go
Doomfist
Winston
Sigma
Reaper
?
Tracer and Genji did nothing against him - it was all Winston
and Winston pretty much defeated him in one punch
I’m saying now
The thing is that time he won
However for story telling it can’t happen again
Orisa was designed specifically to defeat Doomfist now
and she almost does in Hero of Numbani, until Doomfist retreats
Game wise yes
Lore wise doomfist and even Winston would clap Orissa
Doomfist can level a whole skyscraper
Wtf is an orrisa gonna do?
Doomfist can't level a skyscraper
it's a joke
“And Dey say he could level a skyscaper” why say that otherwise
Leo typically in fiction
When someone says anything like that about the main villain
It’s literally always true
To build up hype about there power
Have u seen how far he sent Winston flying with just one punch?
Literally flew away at full speed across a whole city and only stopped because he crashed
because notorious individuals often have a myth that rises up around them
The power and legends behind his gauntlet is the only truth
it was said by a little kid who has never even seen him in person
Like I said after that
It’s fiction everytime someone says an incredible feat of the main villain it’s always true
That’s how story telling goes to create hype
That’s literally how it is
And it’s never been debunked even if the whole story telling case was not said
well we've never actually seen him level a skyscraper
so there's no proof that he actually can
ill believe it when i see it
hehe this is an intresting convo
that's not how evidence works
And literally any fiction goes
you can't prove a negative
would u rly believe what a 8 year old says tho
When anyone says anything about a main villains power in any form of fiction
and wasnt this b4 they rly rly rly went deep into the lore
It’s always true
*always
who said doomfist was the main villan
the facts remain that Doomfist was defeated by Winston 6 years ago, and was defeated by Efi, Orisa and Lucio in the present day
he is not the most powerful
Can Sombra hack into people in canon or is that just a game thing?
Yes he is the most powerful
she can hack computers
And when did he lose to orrisa and lucio?
prob just a game thing not all ingame stuff is canon like mercy revives
or echo dupes
in The Hero of Numbani, like I keep saying
And no he lost to Winston before however that would not be the case now
Ah rip. Twould be cool if she could
How does it go?
doomfist was never planned to be a main villan even, right?
like he was just a scary name for the trailer that the community wanted as a hero iirc
so saying he can level a skyscraper wasn't even based on the character really
Doomfist attacks a Lucio concert, Orisa and Lucio fight Doomfist off until Efi turns the concert speakers into a giant sonic amplifier, then Doomfist gets nervous and runs away
he was going to lose, so he retreated
It seems off character I will research on that to see full context to make sure
But those 2 doubled him anyways
Now imagine a 1v1
Slaughter
There was a flicker in Doomfist’s eyes, just for an instant, but Efi noticed it. A hesitation. A hint of doubt. Doomfist projected a calm and controlling demeanor, but despite the declaration of victory painted on his skin, the outcome of this fight was not yet determined.
Actually it should be a slaughter even with a 2v1 that’s weird that that’s the case
Doomfist is not that powerful
Ans he is still powerful as the rest can’t match him power
I really recommend The Hero of Numbani - it gives some real depth to Doomfist's character, showing his intelligence and charisma
I see I’ll def check it out
The thing is none of them can beat him Ina 1v1
So I’m still content with thst
That
Including Winston rn as rn if they 1v1 doomfist stomps all as he’s the main villain
Doomfist still isn't the most powerful
Whole point is that he’s thus powerful being and needs a team to stop him idk we gotta wait and see
He’s def the most powerful no1 beats him in a 1v1 currently
I feel like Sigma is more powerful then like, all of the OW roster
Zarya is physically stronger
That’s actually a good point I forgot about that ig technically symmetra is the most powerful since she can do anything lol
I wouldn’t say sigma simple because yes he can control gravity but he’s unhinged
Sigma's still a mystery lore wise for the most part, unless there's a comic or something about him I didn't read or watch
His mind is not stable
the category Doomfist is the top at is charisma - he is the most charismatic character in Overwatch
Reaper literally can't be killed
But can be beaten
Ans beaten to forced to retreat
which Sigma can quite easily do
Lol reaper is not up there
I don't think Symmetra is that powerful, unless when we put her and Sigma together
in present day, at his peak
Reaper's only so high because of his... 'Immortality'
Cause symmetra can create anything from her mind ig
Symmetra's full power is unknown - we don't know the limits of hard light
Remember, Sigma's still a scientist
she's essentially a Green Lantern
Yeh reaper is powerful his powerful duel wield shotguns and as a ghost like being
Sigma's power depends on how much control he has
However although reaper stands no chance against a doomfist he would wreck havoc on everyone else tbh
Reaper is the number 2 guy at talon after doomfist
if he has absolute control over gravity, nobody would even touch him
Agreed
Doomfist would get crushed flat
But we have to see sigma powers there’s been nothing
Reaper and Doomfist I'd say are pretty even, at-least, they'd never really fight eachother
But I agree sigma should be above doomfist in theory atleast
Sigma at full control can wipe out an entire planet with his control of gravity
But doomfist is a Demi god and controls an powerful army
well
maybe
stop saying he's a demi god
Doomfist... is not close to that
So he’s no threat to doomfist
he's nowhere near that powerful
he's still human
He's a HUMAN
he could get killed with a sniper bullet
No he can’t lol
or be poisoned
And you have no proof of him being a Demi-God
augmentation doesn't make someone immortal, it just makes them less human
Nah I just say Demi god cause he is a powerful being in the world I don’t mean it like an actual deity lol
In terms of fighting and power
He's not even that strong-
then say god-like
you'd still be wrong though
I'm sure in a fight with literally anyone other then genji tracer or winston, he'd lose
If doomfist and reaper fought tbh he would make pretty quick work of reaper
No, they'd be even or not even fight at all tbh
Nope smh
Doomfist wouldn't even be able to land a hit on Reaper
No1 beat him Ina 1v1 only symmetra and sign should win in theory
And tbh, why would they even fight if they have the same goals realisitically?
Reaper could just wraith away
How tf can’t he land a hit when a base form Winston could?
Don’t low ball doomfist
Electricity goes through his wraith in lore
He’s much more destructive and tankier than reaper
All it takes is one punch from doomfist to annilate reaper out of the fight
Reaper would also, not even realistically fight Doomfist in lore
I know were talking hypothetical's
but they are still a part of Talon
and I believe have some respect for each-other
That’s true just like how doomfist underestimated and considered Winston a joke which won’t be the case now as doomfist stomps currently
Yeah
True I heard there basically bro’s
In the lore
That makes me happy
There's like no interaction between Doom and Reaper but I'm sure it exists in lore somewhere
since Doom was basically king of talon at one point
As doomfist and reaper should both be the most destructive close range fighters
Genji with Dragon-Blade
He is the king of talon currently
Reaper seems like his right hand man
Doomfist makes all the final calls
they're equals
Genji quite literally possesses the power of an old dragon I believe
But doomfist has respect for reaper and Vice versa
Doomfist and Reaper are both on the Talon council
Reaper and Doomfist have equal control over talon
He always gets the final say especially if he does not agree with anything or else he has the person murdered himself
no?
No.
why would they?
It’s crazy if you believe there equal in terms of 1v1
Doomfist wins the question is if it’s a stomp or mid difficulty
Cause doomfist does not break a sweat either way
it's rumored that she's been providing genetic enhancements for them since Retribution
Tbh
I mean, I think only Reaper kinda doesn't like Moira
probably what I was thinking of
I mean equal in power/influence in Talon
Reaper doesn't dislike Moira
not phyiscal strength
Ohh ok yeh I get it but even than I disagree cause doomfist has the most influence
Those are two different discussions. And even in that one, Doomfist does not win undisputed.
In terms of making commands and such
physical strength should belong to doomfist, but everything else is either tied or in Reaper's favor
I would add onto this conversation but I don't even know where we are at this point.
In-game voicelines aren't canon I think
No doomfist beats reaper in a 1v1
but yeah in-game EVERYONE hates Moira XD
If you want to talk combat power. Reaper is a stronger and harder to eliminate version of Tracer, while Doomfist is a proven weaker brawler than Winston.
Going back to Doomfist Vs Reaper, Doomfist likely can incapacitate Reaper, but that's about it
Not Proven
I don't think Reaper hates Moira. They both are passive aggressive.
Doomfist will never be able to kill Reaper
That doomfist is different from the current doomfist
but he has the capabilities to incapacitate
He can’t kill reaper but he can beat him in a fight anytime
Forcing reaper to run away like Winston for example
Depends on the circumstances, in a pure 1 on 1 scenario were one person must die, Reaper wins.
Reaper can't really be killed
and his wraith allows him to scoot through any of Doomfist's attacks
It is proven. Doomfist lost a fistfight to Winston.
Yeh that’s true if one has to be kills it depends tho doomfist beats him in a fight everytime how would reaper even manage to overcome all odds
TBF, it was kinda unfair because Winston is genetically mutated
My freaking god Ik but that’s not the same doomfist
and genetic mutation>augmentation
I keep saying that
How is it not the same Doomfist.
Yeh but he lost to a fucking younger doomfist who was not as experienced in fighting threats like that
Younger?
Doomfist always evolves
that fight was only 6 years ago and Doomfist has spent those 6 years in prison, not a lot of opportunity to get stronger
He always evolves during fights
That fight was 6 years ago. During those 6 years, Doomfist was in prison.
Prison? You train in prison as well
He was in maximum security
That was more or less prime Doomfist.
With other people, though? Just because he works out doesn't mean he got more battle sense.
Also, if you want to play that card.
That was Winston's second mission.
Lord forbid if Winston sees doomfist he’s getting sent to another country
Doomfist lost the fight because it was a 3 on 1
So an unexperienced Winston beat Doomfist in a fist fight.
A very very experienced Doomfist
it was hardly a 3 on 1, Tracer and Genji got tossed almost immediately
Against a weaker doomfist
Well, he was struggling a little while it was a 3 on 1
he only won because of tactics
You are really stretching it to try and make a point that doesn't exist.
Because he evolved during battle
Tactics? What tactics?
Reading Movements and predicting
Winston just punched the Doomfist Gauntlet directly. Fist to Fist
And it won.
Oh you mean Doomfist.
Yeah
Doomfist had the better tactical sense
Based on what
That’s how story telling works
Based on what
same scenario happened with Reaper and Winston
Reaper underestimated Winston and was forced away
Wdym? That’s literally how fictional story telling works
No it isn't.
Uhm-
Who's gonna tell him?
And that's not an argument
It is
For every example you come up with where someone gets stronger and wins the second time, I'll find an example where they get stronger but lose the second time anyways.
according to storytelling tropes, the hero always wins, so Doomfist would still lose
^
If we're going to go off of fictional sense
your point would be mooted
Why tf would blizzard let the main villain lose again in a regular 1v1 rn it would require more than jusr Winston to beat him
Doomfist is literally the thanos
Doomfist is not literally Thanos.
Doomfist wouldn't get into a 1v1
I think that's your problem.
Doomfist is too smart to get into a 1v1 with anyone
You are severely overestimating how powerful Doomfist is.
Doomfist would've most likely been captured or died if he went out there
And that was present day
Doomfist solos ow world
Completely ignoring Sigma and Symmetra
Doomfist is no where near as powerful as you think he is.
Symmetra at full control... well there's no limit
You're overestimating Sigma too.
Doomfist does not "solo" the OW world. He couldn't even solo Orisa and children.
Well, he can still Manipulate Gravity, depending on how tactical he is at the time
Yeh while yes gravity can do that how do we know sigma gravity power is capable of that
if he's unhinged
There’s levels to powers like that
yeah he doesn't have that much power
Doomfist def solos ow
We don't know how powerful he is. Just saying "they manipulate gravity" doesn't tell you by how much
@cunning mortar Provide a source.
1v10000 he wins
I think this kid is an actual troll tbh
No just....no
If you're just going to keep making meaningless comments with nothing to back it up, you will be removed for derailing the channel to effectively shitpost spam.
Winston alone already beat him
He is not Thanos.
YOU HAVE NO SOURCES, WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS UP THEN?!
I'm not going to warn you again.
I will say
Sigma and Symmetra's limit is currently unknown, I can beat you every dollar I got that they're more powerful than Doomfist
Probably.
That sigma and symmetra based on there powers should be able to beat or at the very least trouble doomfist
I would argue the 5 contenders for most powerful or hardest to defeat are Sigma, Symmetra, Orisa, Winston, and Reaper (when he's not jobbing)
Uhm, it wouldn't just trouble doomfist, he'd DIE
Yeah I think Sigma could beat Doom depending on how he uses his power
In no particular order.
It's all about how smart he is at the time
Cause he's a little unhinged
Bro ur tripping if u don’t got doomfist at top3
Sym and Sigma are wild cards. They have powerfully defined feats, but their limits are not known.
If Sigma just throws rocks at him Doom wins.If Sigma decides to say maybe rip him apart I think he could win
Sigma and Symmetra are number 1 and 2
Winston defeated prime Doomfist in a fist fight. He also has many other mary sue feats he shouldn't have.
that was 100% Doomfist in his prime
Are you arguing that prime Doomfist loses to Orisa and children instead?
Have you read Hero of Numbani?
he doesn't provide evidence
Have you read Hero of Numbani?
Was it not Orissa and lucio?
No
No Lucio wasn't even there-
Yeh I heard if it but I gotta see it on YouTube
Oh he was?
But he was doing other stuff in that battle.
It was Orisa and children that beat Doomfist.
Ah alright, I was thinking he was elsewhere
Did doomfist go all out?
Or did he just deem it to be a useless fight now?
Since he got other priorities maybe
?
I'm pretty sure this building collapsed, but I forget the details.
Im sure it was like that big cocky villain move where he's like "I didn't even want to do this in the first place" when in reality he got scared
Doomfist attacked the concert to make a statement
I see
he wanted to show the world his power
And then he was bested by Orisa and children.
Is it public knowledge that doomfist got bested?
Yes.
opposite effect acheived then haha
U have to Remember he always gets stronger through each fight
I don't think
why?
that's how that works
Based on what.
And it’s proven from his origin story
If you don't provide a source to that comment, you are going to be disposed of on the spot.
“There’s nowhere to go now,” Lúcio said. “Surrender. I’ll bet they even kept your prison cell open for you.”
“I’m not going back,” Doomfist said.```
Because he states he gets stronger through conflict and during his battle he’s literally adapting becoming more powerful
I’m surprise none of you caught that
Uhm- that's everyone
isnt he referring to the world
Okay anyway
He gets stronger because he says so is an interesting take
I am okay with discussing people with different opinions. I am not okay with people peddling unsourced misinformation as fact.
Well, both, really
shes ok I guess
how does dm work?
according to Doomfist's philosophy, everyone gets stronger through conflict
There's still no clear-cut answer on If D.va will actually join OW
or if she'll stay in Korea to defend her country
she manually shoots projectiles out of the air
She shoots down the incoming projectiles
oooo, that's precise
It's a counter-shot basically
you can see her rapidly pressing the buttons on her controls when she uses it
All that APM
yeah jeez
this is why they wanted pro gamers to pilot the mech
Its been teased at BlizzConline that she will
fast reaction time, nimble fingers, etc.
Oh, must've missed that
before it wasn't so clear cut
D.Va, Zarya, Baptiste were all teased there to join. We also saw Pharah and McCree as part of the team.
I don't like Zarya joining OW tbh
Yeah, only in the concept sketches though.
I don't like Zarya joining OW tbh
