SPREAD THE JUNKRAT LOVE

ITS THE SAME GUY OMG

(Winton has internet issues btw, that's what they're talking about because it made him leave. We still won though)!

This made me laugh 😂

For context the enemy team had a leaver and the 'ow no' happened when they got the first point.

They couldn't push the payload though 😂😂

Noonespecial x Danthe2nd

Literally THE GAME AFTER my last post, I roll into this game, queued as support, and straight out of the door, this guy pops into the chat and says, "U may be noonespecial but ur special to Danthe2nd."

Of course since this is Overwatch so Noonespecial responds with the original "Fk U Dan."

Then the game begins and Noonespeical (Our second support on Zen) immediately gets annihilated by Danthe2nd (Opposite DPS). A second later, "Jk ily." Pops into the chat. We're losing at this point, but I couldn't care less because this is the funniest thing that's happened to me all day.

A few moments later, UnusedTuktuk (Who was speaking on behalf of Danthe2nd) replies and says, "He says he's scared of affection". To which Noonespecial replies with a "<3." Then, "Sorry friend."

Which at this point, I'm disappointed, please entertain us, don't apologise. We finish the first round with them taking the point, and load into the second point. Noonespecial put's a ":'(" in the chat because he's been aired by Danthe2nd, and then JUST AS THE ROUND BEGINS he gets a reply of, "He likes feet kicking him."

Needless to say, there was no more conversation after that, and I'm sure the rest of the players felt just as awkward as I. Who's to actually know if this UnusedTuktuk was actually communicating for Danthe2nd, or if poor, unassuming Danthe2nd was suddenly labelled with a foot fetish by strangers; or if he actually does have a foot fetish. Danthe2nd never actually said anything during the exchange himself, so I guess we'll never know.

We lost the game, as well :(

Blackwatch timeline

Ok, so, bear with me, this is going to take a lot of little points for me to peace together to make the bigger picture here.

So, we know that Gabriel Reyes worked as a police officer and was know for arresting lots of criminals, but then he didn't find his work having any sort of impact of the criminal rate and figured that to destroy crime he had to cut it off at the source, correct?

And he was born in 2018, making his 58 in the current (Overwatch) year of 2076. We also know the Omnic crisis started exactly 30 years ago, when he was 28.

Then (If we're going with the earliest years possible for everything) Overwatch was founded a year later and he was put in charge of Overwatch as Strike Commander when he was 29.

If we're approximating that the Omnic Crisis lasted about 3 ish years, then he was 32 when it ended and his Command was switched to Blackwatch.

He was 32 when Blackwatch was created!

The sting operation that resulted in Jesse McCree (or Cole Cassidy whatever you want to call him) joining Blackwatch took place when McCree was 17. Which leads me to the question of who was Gabriel Reyes even working with on missions before hand? Did he have a strike squad before he picked up Jesse McCree?

We also know there's about ten years age difference between Gabriel Reyes and Jesse McCree, which means McCree was 12 when Blackwatch was formed.

And Genji joined Blackwatch in 2066, which is only 10 years prior. Making Gabriel Reyes 48 and Jesse McCree 38. That is a huge age gap and what do we even know about what happened during that time?

Roughly a year or so later we know that Gabriel Reyes invites Moira into Blackwatch and she starts her experiments on him? But like, we know nothing about these experiments, only what they did. And if the short story 'Code of Violence' is being added into the mix, then we're led to believe that the initial experiments that Moira conducted on him did not have as dramatic effect. I don't really know what that entails, but it could mean that he could mist and move around a little bit, but was otherwise a full man. In the 'Code of Violence' short story it's mentioned that Moira is the one to find Gabriel Reyes after the explosion of the Overwatch facility, and to 'save' his life she pumped him full of the chemicals she used in her prior experiments, the results being Reaper. It meant his body became more mist like and he had to concentrate on being a full man almost every moment of the day, it also meant he was in constant pain and his anger was harder and harder to control. He also started to find gratification in the more gruelling and cruel acts. Or at least that was the impression I got from the story. But my point is, the most we have referencing the experiments Moira conducted on Gabriel Reyes are this picture:

And a paragraph or two in the story 'Code of Violence' which more focuses on his internal struggles immediately after the incident.

Then, (getting back on track, that was a bit of rant sorry) we know the Venice incident took place 8 years ago, when Gabriel Reyes kills Antonio Bartalotti and reveals Blackwatch to the world, and putting it under the investigation of Jack Morrison, Gérard Lacroix and Ana Amari. As seen in the end scenes of Retribution and in the photo below:

We also know that somewhere in between the next two years Genji moves from the Blackwatch divison to the Overwatch strike team including Tracer, Mercy and Winston. We also know that his cybernetics have been updated in this time. But, I'm not entirly confident on the idea that he was moved to Overwatch from Blackwatch, there's nothing that we know (or I've found) that supports that idea, other than him appearing in the Overwatch strike team during the Storm Rising archives mission and his updated cybernetics.

Then, 6 years ago the Overwatch Swiss HQ is blown up and Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison are presumed dead. The Petras act is ratified and Overwatch is disbanded.

A lot of investigation is put into Overwatch and Blackwatch's activities between the time period of the Retribution achieves mission and the Petras act's ratification. Which is a time period of roughly 2 years.

My point is, there are huge gaps in the timeline and not all the information is concrete, a lot of it is inferred from what we have. (Blizzard I beg give us more lore).

There's the 5 years between Blackwatch being founded and McCree being bought into the organisation, where we know next to nothing.

Then there's 21 years between McCree and Genji joining Blackwatch. What happened in those 21 years? Surely there are some important events to note in 21 years?

The later years of Blackwatch are less murky, but there's still no solid dates or years being handed to us by Blizzard and it's been 7 years! I mean come on! All the dates and ages I used in this are drawn from the Overwatch Timeline on the fandom Wiki, and those are only approximations that make sense with the ages we've been given for the current game.

Anyway, I just wanted to complain about this because I feel like I don't hear enough people complaining about it. It's probably the same for Overwatch, but at least we have more of an idea what the Overwatch organisation was like. We roughly know that there were a lot more foot soldiers than Blackwatch had, at least that's what I thought was implied every time it was bought up or featured. It's easier to fill in the gaps between the years as general peace keeping, but Blackwatch was supposed to handle the more rogue missions (Can't really think of a better word for it). There's only so much guessing and filling in we can do Blizzard!

If you read this far thank you, you're a real one.

Hero Mastery

I just logged on to play the new hero Mastery and bro??? I was so hyped for this and it's so stilted and slow? How is this supposed to help me master Mercy at all? I don't know about you but I'm so, so disappointed by this. Like it feels really slowly and clunky and it doesn't flow the way I thought it would. I don't know what to say blizzard... I'm disappointed

I simply ADORE the way this artist draws them <33333

Overwatch Origin Stories Master-list

Links to the Youtube Origin stories in Chronological order of hero release <3

Most of the base Roster doesn't have an origin story, but there is this short for Roadhog and Junkrat:

It's not in the same format as the rest of the origin stories that follow, but it's the closest thing that resembles an origin story for them.

Soldier 76 is obviously one of the outliers of this standard (being Blizzards golden boy and all I suppose), and I'm fairly sure his was the first origin story put together in this format:

Another of these outliers is none other than the poster girl herself, which I guess makes sense:

That's all the base roster got, and the following origin stories all belong to heroes that we released after the release of the game.

First of, Ana came out in July of 2016:

Then followed Sombra in November of 2016:

Orisa in March of 2017:

Doomfist in July of 2017:

Moira in November of 2017:

Brigitte in March of 2018:

Wrecking Ball in July of 2018:

Mirror Watch Killed Me </3

I know this is so delayed, but this game mode and it's challenges HURT me. Like why do I need to play some many games for a player title that isn't even that good? >:(

🤖😈🔥

I AM DECEASED

hehe

Edgy emo team….

And then there’s mercy
