It's A Rabbit Hole Ladies And Gentlemen ;-;

I AM DECEASED

New Junk City and Junkertown

Ok, so clearly these two are connected, but... how? The map of Junkertown is pretty closed off right? I can't imagine how the two are connected, because obviously they must be, since they're both 'Junker'.

Istg is Blizzard comes out with some rubbish like they're two separate locations I'm going to throw hands. I can imagine them saying something like 'Junker town belonged to the previous Junker King and new Junk town was the town Junker Queen built'.

Which is rubbish because Junker Queen has literal voice lines when the gates of Junker town open for specific people. Plus there's posters and propaganda of her all over Junker town.

So, I have no idea how Blizzard are going to connect Junker town and New Junk City. I'd really appreciate a map or something yk Blizzard. Like can you actually make your lore make sense for a hot moment, please and thank you.

What is this account?

Basically, Overwatch 2 broke Overwatch players and it's feels like every single game I play there's something:

a. to complain about

b. to laugh about

or

c. to be surprised by

I also love delving into Overwatch Lore and picking apart the inconsistencies, and I can and will ramble for hours about it (ask my duo).

I'm gonna put it out there, I play Overwatch casually and I've been around since the first new years event so I've seen stuff. I'm not the best player ever and I'm high gold/low plat depending on how well I've done in the season. This is all MY OPINION!

I'm still holding out for an additional 6v6 mode, like the open queue competitive option.

Here's a little comparison between D.Va's normal sound effects and Porsche D.Va's sound effects <3

The Porsche sound effects tickle my brain <3 (worth the money).

The Decline of the Anniversary Events, Part 2

2022 didn't actually have a singular anniversary event, per say.

It experienced a series of Re-mix events, the first one being in April instead of the archives event.

Personally, this really pissed me off at the time. The achieves event is my absolute fave event, and it also always happens on my Birthday. It was something I looked forward to, and then they just... stopped doing the event. No explanation. Nothing.

Instead they gave us this 'you can copy my homework, but change it slightly so no one knows' event collection.

Literally nobody asked for this. Nobody. They're not original skins just crappier versions of the originals. I'll put the originals below so you can see what I mean.

Personally, I think the originals are much better than the re-mixes. What makes it worse in my opinion though, it that some skins they chose to re-mix already had two colour variants. So, they end up giving one skin, THREE different colour pallets.

I also hate how they white wash all the colour from the originals skins in this re-mix event.

So, not only have we not gotten any original skins, they're not even amazing recolours either. There aren't any suitable changes, just a colour pallet wash. So lazy.

And before anyone says, it's because they were busy with OW2, busy doing what? OW2 feels like it has less content than OW1 and the only visible differences are the UI and the missing second tank.

To make this event even worse, they recycled special event challenges for the weekly challenges.

As a long time player, I already had all of these, and the only new content I got were a few sprays.

Needless to say, I was livid.

The re-release of these skins was so badly executed. It was completely unfair to any player who already had these skins and Blizzard didn't even try very hard to provide new content.

Just remembering it now makes me feel petty.

The next Re-mix happened mid next month and lasted until June.

Once again they just released re-mixed skins, but worse this time.

These were the re-mixed skins, now I'll show you the originals.

What makes these ones worse in my opinions, aside from the horrible colour schemes, is that fact that they chose two skins that already had two colour pallets. There are so, so, so, many skins in the game, why chose two more that already have a twin skin?!

Then once again they 're-wind' or recycle (as I like to call it) previous special events.

Like I love the Mercy and Sigma skin, but please Blizzard I unlocked them when they came out.

I understand you want the newer players to have a chance to unlock them, but please, please, please, reward us consistent players with something new.

I ran out of picture space again, so now there's gotta be a part 3 lol

When he calls her 'Sweetheart' :0

Ok, ngl I kinda ship Baptiste x Sombra now haha

Is Reaper a COVID baby because he was born in 2018, and (hypothetically if COVID happened in Overwatch Universe) would have been turning 2 during the lockdown? Like would he have been one of those toddlers that didn't develop proper social skills at nursery?

I think about this sometimes...

Halloween event 2023!

We're being fed this year lads!!!

Look at these skins!!! THE WIDOW AND THE ILLARI 🤭🤭🤭

Not sure what I think of the Sombra re-work tho.

Excited for the new game mode though!!

The Archives event Retribution - Part 2

The second Archives event took place in 2018, it started on the 10th April and finished on the 30th of April.

The brand new brawl/mission that was introduced during this event was the Retribution event, which followed the Blackwatch cast (Reaper/Gabriel Reyes, Jesse McCree/Cole Cassidy, Moira and Genji). The aim of their missions was to take the head of Talon, Antonio Bartalotti, in. Instead, Antonio goads Gabriel Reyes and explains that any action they take will be a waste of time since his political connections will have him out of prison by the end of the week. Realising he's right, Gabriel Reyes changes the plan (Drastically) and shoots Antonio instead. The Retribution mission is their hasty escape from Rialto.

Not only was this mission introduced but we were also given a handful of brilliant skins.

Scion Hanzo and Soldier 24 are some of my favourite skins as well, so 2018 achieves skins were ab absolute win.

Here are all the cinematics for the mission as well:

I think, short as it is, that there's some really interesting content in the videos.

To start off with, I find it really funny that the video starts with McCree taking out one guy, then Gabriel takes out one guy as well, then Moira takes out three guys and it's like woah ok. Then Genji says hold my bear and takes out an entire group.

It amuses me.

Also, this interaction between McCree and Gabriel, he addresses him as 'Reyes' respectfully, but you can tell he's toeing the line out of concern because they're not just comrades. They're not just commander and follower. They were friends! They worked together for 20 years and it shows in this interaction here!

He's challenging his commanders decisions because he knows that they're friends and he's concerned for him!

Also, please look at these pictures and say to my face that this is not a man who's reflecting on every choice he made since joining Overwatch, and I dare you to tell me those choices aren't weighing heavily on his shoulders!

This is a man that knows if he keeps doing things the way he was doing them, nothing is ever going to change.

So he does something drastic and he kills a man.

He looks so tired :(

I sort of forgot the purpose of this post because I just got carried away psycho analysing Gabriel Reyes.

So, I guess your welcome <3
