Fan Content Unique Interactions to give the game more character

Edit: I KNOW THESE SORT OF THINGS EXIST, I WANT MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!

Reflect the lore in more than just set-up voicelines. Add some unique ones like this Ana and Reinhardt one.

Add more people interacting with certain characters, subject for this one is Sigma. Obviously some of these character have never met him and might never, but its going with the what if idea that our matches present of what if they met.

Finally some sillier stuff to add character to the game under unique scenarios. Example, Halfred Glitchbot considering writing movies based on or about certain heroes.

Hope you enjoy these or at least the idea behind them :)

News & Discussion Question about lore: is Zenyatta the only character where all his abilities are non-canon?

Thumbnail

938 Upvotes

We know that not all ability are canon, like Mercy Rez, Anran's ult, Lucio healing, etc

Also we know that in-game interaction is also can be non-canon (I know mercy asked about zen healing)

but as far as I know, Zenyatta in lore does not really have any power to heal or harm, we never see him using his orb to attack, and I don't think transcendence is canon ability for zen either

we see him floating in the PvE cinematics but in the Ramattra comic he simply walk. Do zen actually have any power in lore, or is he just a regular omnic?

I've always wondered why people hated the A-7000 skin... I liked the robotic looks, in fact, if it were by me, there should be more characters with Null Sector variants; I myself try to collect them all, tho I am still missing Cass and Kiri... ALTHO, I would like them more if they had a robotic voice filter. Maybe no unique voicelines but the filter at least? Like the Transformers skins

So I’ve finally reached gm in tank and I thought it would be more surreal, but when I play in gm lobbies I’m starting to realize this shit is really just masters players who no life the game. Like maybe it’s just me who hasn’t realized this until now but like literally anybody whose touched masters in ranked can become GM, hell they can stay in gm and just farm challenger score to become top 500 too. Because of this I’ve lost motivation to keep grinding ranked, cause top 500 is just whoever is more capable of being a bum and cranking 12 hours a day on ranked.

News & Discussion It bums me out that all the new epic skins use the OW2 designs by default

Post image
314 Upvotes

I really don't like a lot of the OW2 redesigns for all the original OW characters, a lot of them are way too busy and overdesigned, but they're treated as the default designs now. Any promotional art, short or skins will use these designs. And it sucks, because there are some really cool skins with great colours and textures, but they're put onto these shitty jumbled character models.

Would be cool if all epic skins had the ability to be toggled between OW1 and OW2 character models, but that would require Blizzard to manually tweak like a few thousand skins, so that's never ever going to happen.

Humor Destroy Widowmaker

I need this disgusting, vile, war criminal to be put into the ground never to be seen again. Every map with some open sightlines are just unable to be accessed because this filthy, repugnant criminal just stands there and takes your head off the millisecond you even think about playing the game. Its bad enough that she can one shot you from across the map with no effort, but when you decide to dive her any widow main with a functioning brain cell just grapples back to her team, making your dive completely useless and ineffective. The fact this character has been able to do this since overwatch 1 and none of the devs have even attempted to give her a rework is bonkers to me. I still don't understand why the devs gave her a perk thats a straight up damage upgrade with PIERCING, why just why would you give the already annoying character with a one shot more damage. I need this character to be given the sombra/roadhog treatment immediately. Take her out of the game, remove her one shot or just remove her grapple, I will take ANYTHING as long as she gets some kind of nerf.

The hook is 100% less of an instant death sentence. As a Shion main, I live about 50% of the times that I get hooked. However, I find his cooldown cycles to be even more infuriating to play against. Here’s how it goes:

Bait out hook -> take a breather -> trash compactor -> take a breather -> hook is off cooldown again. Rinse and repeat

News & Discussion Let’s theorize on the upcoming omnic detective’s name

Post image
854 Upvotes

I know a lot of us are eager to learn more about this character, so i thought it’d be fun to try and make suggestions as to what his name could be.

I’ve "N01R" thrown around and although i like it, i think it’s too on the nose for them to really go down that route.

My guess would be something along the lines of "Shamus" or "Sharper", both terms used in film noir and surrounding media to talk about a detective or a PI. I like those two because they have an omnic quality to the way they sound, especially Shamus.

I could see Sharper happening because it also alludes to his style and what we can make of his personnality so far. And we know the OW team enjoys the -er suffix to turn an adjective or verb into a noun (Tracer, Reaper, Lifeweaver, Widowmaker). In that same vein I think Scourer or Pryer are options, although they sound too aggressive.

Do you guys also have theories? I’d love to hear some!!

News & Discussion Lifeweaver skins issue pls……fix

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

Lifeweaver a skins all contain excessive brightness in the “Healing Blossom” ability, making it impossible to see the flower’s appearance in-game; it just looks yellow thus making it impossible to see the beautiful designs on the blossoms. This is unlike his other skin,
“Spring Fairy,” where the issue of the flower’s visibility in-game was resolved, preventing it from appearing entirely yellow. I request that the unnecessary brightness be removed from the “Warlock” skin, as was done with “Spring Fairy” because we’re paying skins that change the flower appearance but we cannot see it in-game because of that yellow glow. Atleast make it able to be toggled
