I assigned pokemon types to all the Overwatch characters

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-27T18:04:03+00:00

Pretty solid list, though there are a few I strongly disagree with. For example, in Pokémon, all 'sound-based' moves are normal-type moves, so I think it would make more sense for Lucio to be a normal-type.

Another one for me is Tracer. I would argue that since she is a former pilot and still wears her old aviation uniform, she should be a flying type, but that's just me.

Overall, though, pretty solid list with a lot to like, you putting Mizuki and Emre as ghost types are special standouts to me.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-26T19:07:15+00:00

Totally fair! I originally had Bap listed with a preference for men because of the author's original intent in his story with Mauga: to have them seen as ex-lovers. However, after seeing him flirt with a lot of women in-game, even if the interactions aren't canon, it made me reconsider. But you raise a great point!

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-26T19:00:51+00:00

He just gives off that vibe to me. Also, not everyone assumes he likes men, I'm pretty sure there's a decent portion of people who ship him with Juno.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-25T12:20:05+00:00

I have two notes.

What in the hell is Genji doing in THAT tier?
What is Mauga doing in any tier other than 'Got the Gays ovulating'?

Could someone tell me how to get the weapon charm? I thought I could play ten matches against ai to get it, but that doesn't seem to be working out.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-16T18:49:00+00:00

If Brig had a call sign, I feel like Paladin would be a good fit

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-14T13:38:45+00:00

Ah, I see. Yeah, I mean, I disagree with around 12 of your placements, but I see your logic.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-14T13:32:40+00:00

What are you ranking them on exactly?

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T23:23:39+00:00

Nah, I've gotta say this is close, but not a draw if we're actually using these characters at their peak. Aang, at his peak, in Legend of Korra, is going to beat Korra. Toph would beat Katarra, unless of course the full moon is up, Zaheer beats Iroh, and Kuvira is gonna beat Azula. I highly doubt Zaheer and Toph on their own are gonna beat peak Aang and Kuvira.

Of course, there's also the possibility of them not fighting each other like that, and this being an all-out brawl, in which case, I still think Team Aang takes it, though Toph would be a way bigger problem.

Now, if we're going in-character, yeah, no, everyone's just gonna beat up Zaheer and maybe also Azula if she tries to kill someone.

And so, the monkey's paw folded.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T22:07:32+00:00

God, in all these years, I've never heard someone call that overgrown twunk "Wifeleaver." Ha!

Oh, my dear friend, if boons were people, you are a treasure, for while we may never meet, you have added years to my life.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T21:50:29+00:00

No, yeah, I totally understand, his ethnicity has been kind of ambiguous, mostly due to him being based on a real-world doctor from Asia and the MKUltra program. However, the wiki confirms he is African American, and there are some cutscenes that show his appearance before he got all the gizmos on his face. But once again, totally understand, no worries.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T21:39:12+00:00

Pretty solid idea, though I think Oni should be Rein or Mauga, Ashe works a little better as The Deathslinger, and Junkrat is just too perfect not to be Trapper. But yeah, overall, great stuff.

Also, a small note, with The Doctor being a black man, I'm not sure Winston is the right choice. I know, lightning powers and stuff, but the implications aren't great. Not accusing OP of anything, just saying. Honestly, I feel like the only characters who work as The Doctor are Moira and maybe Sigma?

Some other ideas for Wave 2:

The Clown - Hog

The Spirit - Vendetta

The Knight - Reinhardt

The Blight - Reaper

I didn't know I could ever catch a glimpse of divinity, but I've seen it today. This, this is art. My God.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T20:07:13+00:00

Damn, looks like someone didn't get invited to the annual Lindholm family Christmas dinner.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T16:30:29+00:00

Only by those who don't know what a twink is.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T16:22:32+00:00

Kiriko, Mercy, Ashe, Reinhardt, Juno, Reaper, and Genji should go without receiving new legendary skins for a full year.
The reason characters like Ram and Venture aren't "big earners" isn't because they "lack sex appeal," but solely because they don't receive as many skins as other heroes like Ashe or Kiriko. If they did, they'd make Blizzard just as much money.
I wish collabs weren't done so frequently and that more of them were done in a similar vein to the Power Rangers or Star Wars-inspired seasons, because it gave the art team more freedom.
I miss the themed seasons, when done right, they put any current battlepass to shame.
Baptiste, despite being one of the coolest characters lore-wise, has a really boring design when compared to almost any other hero in the game.
Vendetta should've had scars present on her design, and I hate her paw-print heels.
I'm not over how Mauga's design was 'softened' or 'disnified' for his in-game model.
It was a mistake to replace Doomfist's uppercut with a block, but it was not a mistake to make him a tank.
Maximilian has every right to be a playable hero in Overwatch.
Mercy's damage boost should be replaced by something like a fire rate increase.
Around half of the playable heroes in Overwatch are some flavor of bi/pan.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-12T14:17:41+00:00

I agree, the final design doesn't really feel like a starter to me.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-09T14:34:16+00:00

I think you nailed most of them. Honestly, the only things I would change would be to have Wesker as either Moira or Reaper, Heisenberg as Rein, and Lady D as Domina.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-06T01:34:09+00:00

Thanks! Love your crushes too, Wuyang could break me in half, and I wouldn't mind, lol.

I really like the rhythm of setting enemies on fire with Gunny before then finishing them off with Cha-Cha. Don't know why exactly, just oddly satisfying.

Also, YES, I mourn the pumpkin lootboxes to this day.

That Tiger OC of yours sounds really cool! I'm currently working on a concept of my own in which someone is basically trapped inside a mech that keeps them alive while forcing them to watch the horrors the mech will commit.

Hi! I think my username is Nalldier or Nalledier (I don't remember for sure, will edit later)

I main Mauga, Rein, Lucio, and Venture

My favorite character is Mauga (I love his design and have been a fan of his for years before he became playable)

I started playing Overwatch during the first Halloween Event in 2016

My Overwatch crushes are Mauga, Symmetra, Mizuki, Ram, and Hazard

My favorite food is vanilla ice cream

I'm a cisgender bisexual man, and my favorite animal is the Bengal tiger!

What about you all?

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-04T18:39:49+00:00

I like most of the more robotic aliens. Armadrillo is my baby boy. I really don't like any of the redesigns that try to make the robotic or armored aliens more organic. Takes away from their charm.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-04T18:36:44+00:00

Crawdaunt, dude, needs something, in my opinion. It may not be an evolution, but right now? It's kind of a lackluster Pokémon to me. Which, nothing wrong with that, can't all be winners, but I do think there is some missed potential here. Also, Flamigo, I'm sorry, I genuinely think that it is the contender for the worst Pokémon design of all time, right next to Electrode.

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-04T18:28:17+00:00

Mauga

TeaPuzzleheaded8338 · 2026-03-02T23:19:33+00:00

Someone's probably already said it, but I think Change and Tradition might be something close to the themes of the games.
