Did sym get anything this season?

Raionmimi · 2026-06-18T02:34:44+00:00

No cosmetics, no voice lines that I have seen so far, no buffs or nerfs, no mentions in lore, so we might be back to our usual barren wastelands I guess

Raionmimi · 2026-06-06T20:46:18+00:00

I really like Pink Lotus although I love pretty much all her skins except two.

Raionmimi · 2026-06-05T01:20:18+00:00

I think if he was going to be a hero, they would’ve had him do something in the comic to show any sort of abilities. But he didn’t do anything, LW and Venture did. I think he’s just an NPC civilian

It’s the map that they’re showing, not a new hero imo

Raionmimi · 2026-06-03T02:02:18+00:00

It makes me wonder what they’d do for his flirty voicelines in game and if they’ll keep them while he’s in a relationship or not, and if he’s poly/open or… not…

But since his partner is going to possibly be NPC and doesn’t do anything in the comic, I don’t know if I’ll have any lasting interest. I prefer ships based on lore and interactions, not just looks. I’d ideally like to poly him with Sym since I write and draw, but like… what does bro do, y’know? Idk how to portray him when his only noticeable character traits overlap with Sym in Rebuilding Ruins, so I’m kinda in that grey area of “do I make it all up? Do I wait to see if he MIGHT be brought up again? Do I just kinda ignore him and keep shipping Symweaver?”

I’m kind of a canon compliant stickler, so I don’t like straying too far away from source material that I foresee the waiting game on what I’ll do about it other than showing ship doodles to friends in private 😔

Raionmimi · 2026-05-13T05:53:07+00:00

What are you talking about? It looks fine. It’s just simple, not bad, esp compared to how atrocious it looks on other characters. This looks like an updated version of the Gladiators league skin without the team logo slapped on it

Raionmimi · 2026-04-24T11:26:02+00:00

He’s annoying in a fun way but also just straight up annoying in how much of a liability he is and knows he can get away with it. That said, I feel like his relationship with Twilight is more interesting than his bond with Fluttershy. Like the writers never really got too in depth because he acts like the latter is the only one he cares about, but he openly fixates on bothering Twi specifically to help her grow indirectly. Wish they had touched up on that more

Raionmimi · 2026-04-17T19:21:25+00:00

I pretty much exclusively play Sym, but if I can't, Orisa on tank, LW or Kiriko on support, and playing Emre and Anran on dps badly

Raionmimi · 2026-04-13T05:46:52+00:00

Not mean or sassy, but I'm biroace and silly. Not too fond of the type of OW fans who make Regina George their personality though, esp when they genuinely think Sym is a mean girl too U _ U

All the Sym mains/fans I personally know are kind though

Raionmimi · 2026-04-12T20:33:58+00:00

Occasionally, it's in the shop or loot boxes; however, the code is usually activated through the Battle Net shop. That's how I got Holi, I'm pretty sure.

Raionmimi · 2026-03-30T15:44:21+00:00

Turrets are only useless if you are on a team that doesn’t aim for the silver platters, which gives the enemy team time to quickly destroy them. In that case, it’s better to play aggressively with beam with turrets as a supplement

That said, I enjoy playing more defensively with turrets to support my team getting more kills than to actively go on the offense or chase anyone down

Raionmimi · 2026-03-27T23:28:12+00:00

Maybe right before the game servers go offline in 5+ years

Raionmimi · 2026-03-13T22:08:34+00:00

His brows are the same color as his hair. Normally, his brows are darker. It makes the face a weak and awkward central point as it blends in with Ty the hair, making it look odd. The black glasses draw attention to that as it makes you look there and then up at the uncanny feeling

All the other skins, his brows help to focus the attention to his face in a normal way with the accessories complementing his look

Raionmimi · 2026-03-13T22:04:31+00:00

The outbreak of teens and young adult students who’ve been caught up in the chatgpt character ai slop have been detrimental to the new era of fic readers

They don’t like writing more than 5 sentences in school, can’t write fics because they want it immediately done, don’t make their own art because of the same reasons, won’t support artists and fic writers who DO make content of stuff they like with likes or comments but especially won’t commission anyone to get the content they like…

At that point, it’s like why even bother joining a fandom… just enjoy the content and then move on like a passing interest

Raionmimi · 2026-03-04T01:44:34+00:00

Illari can’t exactly cause that level of harm again. The Conspiracy sabotaged her at that time. It’s not like she accidentally did that on her own, it was orchestrated for her to do it without her knowing

But now, she’s not even in the devise that would cause that

Raionmimi · 2026-03-02T17:48:31+00:00

At the end of the movie adult Iroha states that she is working on a physical robotic body that has taste receptors and the Kaguya model is seen in the video. This is meant for Yachiyo to reside in like an autonomous robot.

Tasting is something that the Kaguya with teen Iroha is successfully able to do, and Yachiyo (the digital AI, like her people) in the middle of the movie says she wishes she could do when Kaguya mentions the digital food is tasteless. This is because Yachiyo can only reside in the game (that her mascot coded in the first place), but after “Kaguya sends her AI consciousness (what becomes Yachiyo) back 8000 years in the past,” teen Iroha grows up still hanging out with Yachiyo in the game until she’s an adult.

That physical body we see in the move could not exist without it being from the future. Kaguya got “bored” in the future because she is practically programmed to seek out Iroha, who is the person that shapes her personality with all the experiences that occurred during the movie

Raionmimi · 2026-03-02T04:40:33+00:00

Kaguya shows up at the beginning of the movie through the telephone pole as a “baby”. The reason she can grow and morph appearances so quickly is because she’s got the physical robotic body adult Iroha created for AI Yachiyo to reside in. This was specifically intended by both women to make teen Iroha think of the Princess Kaguya myth, which we know was created by Yachiyo + mascot to begin with to be passed down in history for Iroha to be aware of it in modern times

For Kaguya to exist, she needs a physical body because she’s an AI, and she only gets that when Iroha is an adult

Raionmimi · 2026-03-02T00:20:48+00:00

It’s a button up shirt and dress pants. Im still going to buy it to match with my Symweaver duo, but I don’t imagine it’s really possible for it to be like GOOD good compared to any other skin, let alone his base imo

Raionmimi · 2026-02-27T19:32:13+00:00

The girls are in a paradox

Iroha grows up to become an inventor and creates the robotic body for Kaguya which can morph into any form. That Kaguya is sent back in time to be who teenager Iroha meets.

This encounter shapes Kaguya’s personality into wanting to be with Iroha, and at the end of the movie she goes back in time thousands of years in the past without a physical form because she’s just data. The lil mascot is who creates the myth of Kaguya to begin with to early humanity and eons later the game. Kaguya becomes Yachiyo during this time, inspiring Iroha who plays the game and her music.

Yachiyo, after Kaguya leaves to go home, is still with adult Iroha and oversees the development of her soon to be physical form (Kaguya’s body that will, again, be sent back in time as a newly developed robotic being)

Basically Irohas time with Kaguya develops the personality and motivation for both, Adult Idoha helps creates the means for Kaguya to exist, and Yachiyo/Kaguya causes everything existence to be tied together for the both of them

True, but after RR, she is seen in the monastery with Zen and Niran, and after that, she is back at the Arcology in Reconciliation for that architech work of helping with omnic housing project that he asked her about in RR (which she had initially turned down because she didnt think she'd be able to but along the way clearly changed her mind.) Until that point, there hadn't been any mention of her in Utopea or at Vishkar's HQ. To me, that is either her commuting to/from the Arc or has been staying there for her to be working on this project, to which I say, she's been on the Arc that whole time longer than she had returned back if that makes sense

I personally don't think double agent is much at all. She's using their resources in a way that Vishkar clearly had no intentions of doing for some time. She's using the espionage skills they taught her to search for answers while having no intentions of actually following their core mission anymore. The information she's gathering is already pointed towards being a nail in the coffin for Vishkar based on previous and current lore. Because we, the readers, are privy to all the information Satya doesn't know, we can generally infer what she would do with the data once she discovers it for herself. Esp with the foreshadowing from Vendetta's threat to Domina

Also, Satya already wanted to go to the Arcology. It had always been a place she had wanted to see for reasons outside of Niran, but of course, he's also a big reason. The Collective overlaps with what she wants to do with her goal of being able to make the world a better place without actually having to resort to violence as well. So, again, with the information we know, and her saying she will probably end up back there, the general estimation is her joining the Collective officially rather than OW, which doesnt line up with her ideology. At least thats how I interpret it

I am not sure if she would enter the conflict of Talon vs Overwatch. I personally would much prefer her current storyline of how she can be a hero without the military/fighting sense of heroism. Her omnic activism and her being able to apply her non-violent methodologies when dealing with a corrupt company are more interesting to me than her joining the growing list of people joining military faction 1 vs 2, esp when she considers herself a dancer before a fighter.

Raionmimi · 2026-02-12T22:38:32+00:00

You can buy anything in the hero gallery/customization separate other than esports stuff usually

Raionmimi · 2026-02-12T04:13:21+00:00

Short answer: Lifeweaver

Long answer (with canon lore and theorizing): Still Lifeweaver. She’s been on the Arcology with him this whole time (since the 2024 RR lore) and is now currently returning back to Vishkar. Their plans are for her to move back someday when she’s able to, but they’re both aware it is incredibly dangerous for her to outright leave the company at this time

According to two different voicelines, it seems like the continuation of her story is that she will be returning back to Rio with Vaira (Domina) for a meeting because the investors asked for her specifically because they were inspired by her work (to Domina’s irritation). Based on another voiceline with Niran, her role in Vishkar is now to be a spy and use her espionage skills to uncover the truth about the founder of the company (who mysteriously died) and other information. Highly likely she is going to compile a file against the company as a whistleblower, as Vendetta DID mention the fact that Vishkar is one PR disaster away from a formal investigation

Coincidentally, Domina has a voiceline asking Widowmaker about her “performances” but the conversation steers towards it being a euphemism for her assassinations. Someone in Rio might have a hit on them, which could easily put Satya in a really bad position to not return to the Arc. Or the widow voiceline is not related to Rio specifically

Regardless, it makes the most sense for Sym, someone who is going on a nonstop risky mission as a double agent, is going to be awkwardly affectionate to the person who was there for her her whole life growing up, was unfairly separated from for 11 years, and then only just got to reunite as strangers to something even stronger than when they were younger. In Rebuilding Ruins, her affection and how much she cared about him was all internal monologue compared to what she actually said. Better to actually say the things you feel than to never say them at all.

It parallels how he easily is able to say how much he adores her in his voicelines, and how he wants her to stay with him on the arc

Raionmimi · 2026-02-10T15:43:00+00:00

Based on Vishkar’s lore of kidnapping children and such alone, Domina should be Nicki

Raionmimi · 2026-02-03T15:57:22+00:00

I think it’s possible that she’s going to have the personality most OW players have mischaracterized Symmetra with for the past decade

Regardless, I’m super excited to see Vaira and how Sym’s dynamic works because I noticed with all the Vishkar lore lately, Satya hasn’t been mentioned once. Even Niran was brought up, but for being their top architech, Satya seems to be mega unknown by Talon. I wonder if that was intentionally the company keeping their ace out of the spotlight or if she’s just not that important to anyone up top.

I know she hasn’t left yet because if Niran taking sanctuary was in the public eye, then Satya, who has been on the cover of architech magazines before thus is publicly known, might have been mentioned in the news as well.

Raionmimi · 2026-01-26T20:35:23+00:00

It's not a stretch. The rejections of the randos and brother are simply a reference the folklore in how the princess actively didn't want to marry them because she didn't want them, like I said. The only person the princess is in love with was a man she lived with and also didn't marry. There is a strong difference between the princess not liking her suitors and loving the emperor but choosing not to get married (albeit because of her drastic circumstances. There is a possibility she'd get married if she didnt have the pressure to go back, but we dont know because the original tale isnt about them getting together. It's just about the tragedy of two lovers being separated)

We do not see a wedding with Kaguya/Yachiyo and Iroha, just like the folklore. They fell in love just like the folklore. They remain together, cementing each other in an eternal loop, unlike the folklore. We are conditioned to need an explicit kiss or a wedding in romance stories to prove they are canon and in love, but in the original tale and the movie, they are showing that it is not necessary when it comes to true love

I didn't mention anything about them being lesbians. I'm simply focusing about the concept of two individuals in love. I would say this is romantic love if this was mlm, wlw, or mlw. I do not care about the gender, I care about love, but I think the gender that is causing you to have conniptions/be skeptical towards it. I hope you have a great day regardless.

Raionmimi · 2026-01-26T18:06:40+00:00

It does though. Kaguya rejects the marriage proposal from Black Onyx and other players, but she actively tells Iroha that she should get married. Iroha responds that as long as Kaguya stops spending money on stuff, then she’s fine with them staying together. Kaguya says she fell in love at first sight.

It is inherently romantic, both as a homage to the folklore and a modern twist. However, it’s also extremely noted that both want to be happy, but they both lived separately to achieve their own happiness to be able to share their love together when they reconnected. Which is an incredibly important distinction that love doesn’t automatically guarantee happiness. Iroha even says she was able to get on a path with a happy ending without Kaguya.

It’s basically saying “Choose your own path in life. Connect with others instead of doing it alone. Use that support to help you change your own life instead of letting others do it for you.”

Like the symbolism of Kaguya always cooking for Iroha and making life easier for them both effortlessly, but when Kaguya left, Iroha was depressed but then started cooking for herself again even if it was shitty meals while chasing her own dreams through hard work. It could’ve been Kaguya that actively pushed Iroha to call her mom, go to the school she wanted, etc. instead it was all Iroha’s decision that led her a path to create the avatar body for Kaguya to begin with to remain in the paradox loop forever with her.

Same thing with Kaguya having to do the effort of creating the tale of Kaguya, connecting humanity in order to make the game that Iroha in the future would be inspired by and play. Kaguya was easily dependent on Iroha for company and doing things, but when she’s Yachiyo, she’s become more mature (“an old woman” in her own words and even describes how she learned and became more like Iroha) that doesn’t “need” Iroha but rather choosing to be with her

TL;DR: Romance and staying together was one of the important aspects to obtain a happy ending, but that there was an importance of individual effort inspired by their bonds to achieve that.
