Thanks for all the new follows, this is probably a good time to update my pinned! I'm Laurence. I've been in the Overwatch community since 2014. I enjoy playing the game competitively but my true love is the world and characters. So expect lots of fanart are lore stuff!
Itβs so weird to see ppl sexualizing a totally normal Kiriko emote, claiming Blizzard is doing it purposefully, when T4 literally gave us a sexy shirtless wet Mauga.
like man IDK EVEN HOW TO UNPACK STORY
-fareeha liking angela??
-bap crushing on cole??
-the two of them becoming fast friends??
-"im not passing, am i?"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Fareeha pining for Angela... Baptiste crushing on Cole... Ana and Reinhardt making goo-goo eyes at each other... at some point Acting Strike Commander Vivian Sojourn Chase is going to have to tell the heroes that Overwatch isn't a dating service.
It's a small thing but this is the first time 76's past relationship has even been acknowledged on a OW social. I know there's players in the community who will appreciate this a lot. :)
βVincent deserved a happier life than the one I could give him. We both knew that I could never put anything above my duty. Everything I fought for was to protect people like him... Thatβs the sacrifice I made.β

Hey so, Ramattra has a respawn specific line that plays ONLY if you die immediately after getting a multi-elim. He says, βthey paid a high price to delay meβ and then does a villainous laugh. I screamed!!
This is a thread about Symmetra. Satya Vaswani is a deeply complicated woman. But as a historically niche pick and a hero not yet implemented into the main narrative, much of her character is sadly misunderstood. I want to try and correct that.
Baptiste: My ex was hereβ¦
Lifeweaver: Iβm so sorry babe, is it because of the sadness of lost love you feel within your heart whenever he is near?
Baptiste: No, he carved an βMβ into that wall with bullet decals.

Thereβs no section in Declassified that mentions Zarya by name, but she did get an illustration at the end of the book. Thereβs a lot of stuff about how Russia survived the Crisis, as well as how they were opposed to Overwatch interventionism (their right imo).
βGiving Moira a female lover in an AU doesnβt mean sheβs gay πβ Hey, do you remember what happened to Pharah like two seasons before they let her out of the closet,
It's OK to be disappointed but please:
1) Be kind to T4 devs, they had to make a hard choice
2) Be factually correct, PvE hasn't been cancelled
3) Don't be like me and *do* take breaks from socials
Baptiste: Women are hotβ¦ men are hotβ¦ everyoneβs hotβ¦ why is everyone so hot?
Mauga: Global warming, letβs crash an oil tanker into the Supercoral and make out.
Lifeweaver: πππ
I (like many others) suspected Talon would double-cross Null Sector eventually. Akande and Ramattra's ultimate goals are irreconcilable: one fights for omnic peace, while the other wants eternal conflict. The question is, why did Akande help Ramattra at all? π§΅
A small thing, but I appreciate this Bnet banner a lot. We've never had an acknowledgement of our currently known LGBT heroes like this. I hope this is the start of the game celebrating them publicly more often, and that more will be revealed in OW2 or sooner.
The lighting in this shot is fun because the contrasting warm and cool colors could be signaling that there are two sides to Mauga, or that heβs just a HUGE fan of Red Versus Blue.
Oh my god. My friend and I are talking about the existence of the OW cookbook and they EXPLAINED why they put lore in it?? Legally, you have to. Apparently you CANNOT publish a cookbook thatβs just a list of recipes?? Iβm going crazy.
It can be easy to miss OW2's redesigns little details unless you compare them side-by-side. Sasha's scar is smoother, her eyebrows have been dyed pink. her eyelashes are lighter but a little eyeshadow has been added to make them pop, and her irises are so much prettier!
do the impossible??? see the invisible??
ventures 3d model made me feral so im uploading my art. studied the original eyecatch like crazy!! i hope you all like it. :D

Be sure to check in on your neurodivergent Overwatch fandom friends tomorrowβ¦ Iβm worried a lot of going to happen tomorrow and we will all explode.
I cannot tell you the amount of joy that I feel seeing this character, my brain getting pinged, and then it being outright confirmed. Iβm over the moon about it. I canβt wait to meet you, Venture!
I know Underworld plays fast and loose with canon but Iβm quite fond of the idea that Ramattra tried to recreate *the* Ana Amari as a warbot and only got the messy parts.

The historical revisionism around OW online is insane. Ppl joke that it was only popular because of the porn and really forgot it was hugely culturally impactful. So many modern FPS games would not exist as they are without OW.
Btw, Iβm not opposed to sexy cheese in games at ALL. Mauga being like βIβm hot, everyone wants me, look at my amazing pecsβ is fun!! But Kiriko like isnβt presented that way at all. She never has been.
So
@JustinGroot3
hinted that there may be some special "elim Sombra in stealth" lines and I immediately knew I had to find them...
Apologies for my little laughs and poor video editing. And thank you
@lambssies
for being my Sombra.
My hc after today is that omnics in omnic-omnic relationships donβt say βI love youβ or βI want youβ but instead βI choose youβ or βif I had another life, I would choose you againβ cause frankly I think thatβs peak romance right there
Hey.
Do you know Zarya? Zarya Overwatch?
You probably know this, but one early version of her was riding a bear while duel-wielding machine guns.
When she ultβed, the bear would also get two machine gunsβ
Echo: Please stop comparing me to Aurora, I am my own person.
Every hero except Symmetra: yeah but did you hear about this one time with Aurora saved a sinking ship of orphans and then resurrected the dinosaurs??
So this year weβre getting:
1) PvE
2) A lore bible
3) A compilation of short stories as a companion to the first(?) campaign
HOLY SHIT OVERWATCH LORE IS FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS IN 2023
Got a calm moment so quick thoughts on todayβs announcements:
-MAUGA
-HANAMURA BACK
-kinda crazy to get glimpses of the next two heroes
It feels like OW is a lot moreβ¦ planned now? Iβm not sure if Iβm using the right word. Like a clear path.
I may be living in delusion but remember, Angela told Bap he might find out who sheβs eyeing soon and then this short story is released, outing Fareeha, who clearly has a crush on Angela. In this essay I will
Sombra saying Bap doesnβt do commitmentβ¦ this is absolutely why Mauga called him a heartbreaker in WYLB and Mauga deffo wanted a more serious relationshipβ¦ please add Mauga to the game in season 8 I need the drama
I think itβs good this kind of discussion happens on Team 4, good to discuss different approaches.
That being said, I think the current cadence we have is fine and my concern would be heroes feeling less polished if we suddenly started getting more.
More frequent hero releases are being discussed for

Jared Neus says the team could "potentially" release heroes more often, but they have no concrete plans to announce. "Itβs definitely something weβd love to increase at some point," echoed Dion Rogers. However,
In the OW universe, New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Hawaii, and Samoa have formed a strategic alliance of states called the Polynesian League. They even have a flag!
can u guys qrt this or reply with images of any ita bag, character shrine, or just merch dedicated to a character ? i rly like seeing people collect things like that since it makes them happy. the collections can be any size btw
I do think 39 is Mauga, but thereβs still a tiny bit of me thatβs mentally preparing for the worst, not just because of the ensuing internet riot but because thisβll be the second time he had a good buildup only to not join the roster.
INTEREST CHECK!
"We'll Build Our Own Future" is an OW2 story mode tribute zine that will feature art and writing of what could've been made for the community, by the community.
Please check out the design doc here:

"mauga"
mauga blizzcon 2023 reveal confirmed
Hero 36, Ramattra, vibes: I have suffered, I will continue to suffer, all I know is suffering π‘π€β οΈ
Hero 37, Lifeweaver, vibes: letβs go outside and hang out and enjoy the beauty of nature π₯°ππ¦π¦π³π
I've gotten a few new followers so I think now's a great time to say that I support Blizzard devs' fights to make a better workplace (and a better industry) and that our enemies are the capitalist class, not workers who make cool art we love. <3
As part of Esperanca's official reveal, Blizzard uploaded a press kit for the map to their website. One of the photos contains hints as to what I think is a new faction, and potentially a new hero.π§΅
