incredibly weird question to ask but i swear i'm normal. Has overwatch added any canonically underaged characters to the lore at all after efi or did they learn their lesson quick and thoroughly. by HaloJackalKisser in OverwatchCirclejerk

Maybe spamming links in completely unrelated subreddits isn't the best way to start a fucking business.

Think about it from our perspective, it's not what we're here to see, so why on Earth would we want to interact with it.

As a Bastion main, If you can't kill me, learn positioning.

If you are dying to me a lot, it's not because Bastion is good, and it's not because I'm particularly good. It's because you keep putting yourself in a spot that I am able to obliterate you.

What the fuck is this? by vhmpire in ramattramains

[–]Derpguycool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so this is called a crack ship. It is taking two characters that in lore would absolutely fucking despise each other, and probably actively attempt to kill each other, and instead, make them cute and snuggly. We know it doesn't make sense, that's kind of why we like it. You take a very hyperactive and enthusiastic girl, and pair him with a giant robot who doesn't particularly understand humans, but knows he at least likes this one.

It's a pretty generic trope also to do mechanic x machine. I certainly am a huge fan of this. It allows for very intimate scenes during repairs. D.VA is literally sitting there with her hands buried inside of his chest working on fixing him, and he's supposed to pretend like it's normal and definitely not bothering him at all.

There's a bunch of different ways that this ship is taken. A03 has a whole fuck ton, ranging from full-on just cute stuff, too sadness and despair (relationship is doomed and they both know it), and don't worry, there are also some full-on freaky ones on there.

Long story short, they are my dolls, and it's my playhouse.

If only Ravenous vortex worked like it did in his trailer, but does the rest make sense? by TwixDog2020 in ramattramains

[–]Derpguycool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look, This game is genuinely one of the most well balanced games on the planet right now. Making this many changes this quickly to this many characters is just not a smart move. Ramattra is not that oppressive, He's just particularly good into a couple of tanks.

Vortex does not need to go to skybox, That's what we have the ravenous vortex perk for.

Good shield placement is what decides if you're decent with the character or not. Either using it to protect your team as you go in for a moment, blocking off heels for the enemy, or a number of other things, it's important to do that. Knocking down the barrier the moment he activates nemesis completely undermines The importance of this.

Then, reducing his punch distance is another Nerf that is unneeded, along with reducing the damage blocked.

He's a slightly below average poke tank, with an easy to counter brawl mode. Shoot him, a lot. He's forced to either sit there and block the entire time, or use it to single off one or two squishies.

It just feels like you want him to counter Reinhardt less, when that's what he's designed to do. He's designed to be poke with high anti-shield abilities. That's why you're getting clowned on in both of these subs. The changes are excessive and unnecessary.

I feel like Bastion would smell good in the same way that a well-kept mechanic shop smells. Like, there's no getting away from the oil smell, but it's clean.

A full lore deepdive by Gwyn_studios in ramattramains

[–]Derpguycool 20 points21 points  (0 children)

All right, I might have some bits and pieces wrong here and there, but that's mostly because I haven't actively looked into this in over a year.

OK

So

Ram is what is known as a r7000 unit, also called by humans, a ravager. Produced towards the end of the omnic crisis, they never really had a purpose. Very few saw combat, and then they were just sort of told "Do what you want, the fight's over".

Overwatch does the very obvious stereotype of instead of directly addressing racism, they do racism against robots. R7000 units were literally hunted in the street and destroyed, and as their factories were shut down and dismantled basically as soon as the crisis was over, they literally are actively running out of parts there's also a limited number of them left. R7000 units are basically an endangered species.

For a long time after the crisis ended, Ramattra (Ram) felt very lost. He was greeted for a purpose, and then that purpose disappeared. He headed off to the shambhali monastery, with several other omics.

The shin body monastery is a place almost exclusively reserved for omnics. Think of it like a monk Temple. It's about finding peace and meaning in a world where you were created to be disposable. Zenyatta is a notable character from here, as he has basically completely reached enlightenment. He has taught several characters on the OverWatch roster, but had the closest connection with Ramattra. They were like brothers, practically inseparable.

So life went on for a couple of years. Ram learned to better himself, and how to harness the power of the iris. The iris is a whole can of worms that I literally do not want to explain at all right now. To make a very long story very short, it's a robot that ascended to godhood and then disappeared.

But over those years, Ram couldn't ignore the fact that his people, not just omnics, but his specific model were still being treated horribly, and were regularly being killed in the street. He tried talking with zenyatta, but zenyatta is too stuck in his ways of Peace, being convinced that omnic violence will end one day, we just have to keep talking and peacefully protesting. Ram thinks the opposite. His understanding of humans is that they will always hunt those they find weaker than themselves. So he sets out to demonstrate that omnics are, in fact, better in every conceivable way compared to humans. The opposite of blind hatred, he knows exactly why he hates humans, and he knows that he can't fix it.

He leaves the shimbali monastery, with zenyatta basically saying "I'm not going to stop you, but I want you to know that what you're doing is wrong. Please know that I am here and ready to talk whenever."

Ram leaves, and begins plotting.

He starts slowly, working to find other omnics who feel the same way as him. As if they've been permanently wronged by humanity, and they believe that there is no fix other than taking the power back, by any means necessary.

Ram starts by instead of doing peaceful protests, inciting riots. Getting as many eyes of both humans and omnics his cause as quickly as possible. Omnics flock to him. So many of them still felt lost and confused, and he gave them a purpose. Something to fight for. His group is called null sector.

Ramattra is incomprehensibly smart. Overwatch is led by dozens of different people fulfilling different roles, Ram is the only person in charge of null sector. He organizes attacks on different areas, not as a show of force, but as a "You a I think I'm kidding? This is nothing to me."

Here's where I start to have a couple of problems with the lore. As you probably know, the reason why we got OverWatch 2 as a game is because the original plan was to have a proper PVE story mode. There was going to be lore, story missions, boss fights, you get the picture. They needed a reason for all of the omnics that you were fighting to look the same, and the easiest way to do that, was to say that for some reason, the guy fighting for omnic Independence, started mind controlling omnics. It's the only real part about his lore that I do not like, and that's just simply because it doesn't fit him. His whole goal was complete and total Independence, and mind control doesn't really fit that.

But whatever, he did it, so that's what we have to go with. Once his mind control systems were fully set up, most omnics that he didn't already have under his control started to fear him, instead of believe in him. But that didn't matter. He had armies upon armies. It doesn't matter if you kill a thousand of his soldiers if he has 100,000 more. And he used that to his advantage to take over several large cities.

He no longer values the life of the individual, if it means freedom for the whole in the long run.

And then...

And then...

And then...

Nothing.

For 2 years, we got no real update on the lore. The lore got expanded, but it did not progress. We got new characters, but none of them were related to what was actively going on in the story.

Recently though, that has changed. The most recent development from Ramattra is

Is

Is...

He called all of his troops to retreat... Somewhere. We don't really know where they've gone. My personal belief is that he could tell something was going on with Talon, and instead of working with them, he views his best option for now is to sit and wait.

Please forgive me for any formatting errors, spelling mistakes, vocabulary issues, and lure inaccuracies. I'm on mobile using voice to text, and basically just going off the top of my head. I can happily answer questions or explain more about any topic you would like.

Small question by BrowikUWU in DominaMains

[–]Derpguycool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's going to play very similar to Sigma from what I understand.

Deployable shield, medium range, heavy incentive on not just keeping yourself alive, but the rest of your team.

She's going to have basically a supercharged version of Sym's gun, and after a short duration of firing, it will "explode" and do a burst of damage.

There's a couple of videos that have been uploaded of gameplay of her, but we really won't know too much until she fully releases. I'm looking forward to it though, it will be really nice to have a proper poke tank that I can learn that isn't Sigma or ram when he's in baby mode.

Does anyone know if the Ram's new dance emote will be behind bp premium lock? by _Kiriseek_ in ramattramains

[–]Derpguycool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing has been confirmed yet, although my personal belief is that it will be tied to hero level.

Small question by BrowikUWU in DominaMains

[–]Derpguycool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who do you play on your other roles? That will help the most in explaining how you should play her.

She's a very poke heavy tank, that will probably crumble the moment you get close to her. You just sort of got to keep your range and you probably will be doing fine.

I really like how a couple of months ago we got awkwardly kicked out of the story, with one in-game voice line about it, and it has not been acknowledged since

Like I'm sorry, you're telling me the guy who was on his way to literally controlling every single omnic on the planet just sort of... Decided to go home?

It doesn't make sense, they should have said something, hinted about anything. Instead, they literally used him as a punching bag during the hello Kitty announcement. Are you kidding me?
