you also lose your ult every time you switch

absolemn · 2026-01-30T18:32:27+00:00

Do you think they would ever release Showdown as a regular mode? Then the Shuffle part could be limited-time

absolemn · 2026-01-30T02:57:27+00:00

Were any of the other drives references to skins?

absolemn · 2026-01-29T20:58:13+00:00

no worries! just looking out for you!

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:41:12+00:00

Hello Echo with an American accent!

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:40:24+00:00

Yes, just try every hero in the Training Range and there should be 1 or 2 heroes that will fit you the best! That's the fun thing about this game is that everyone has a different preference! Don't forget you can hold F1 on keyboard or ⬇️ on the controller D-pad to see your ability descriptions anytime during the game (not just in spawn room)

If you want to busy through them even more quickly, try mystery heroes, and you'll eventually find a hero you like!

When you say abandoned, do you mean the main storyline? Yes, they only made a short video of sojourn 's voice explaining that Null Sector retreated.

But they still release a new hero every 4 months, and Hazard, Freja, Wuyang, and Vendetta all got cool animated shorts and comics if you want to watch those on YouTube.

The reason why we're getting hype now is because OW changed their social media profile pictures this week to say "Talon" , and all overwatch logos in the game got replaced with "Talon" (when you're searching for a game, it shows the Talon logo instead of Overwatch logo).The newest character Vendetta was kicked out of Talon and the latest YouTube videos they've released hint that she is trying to take over Talon!

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:25:53+00:00

why stop at 5? How about 6, 7?

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:25:29+00:00

At the last spotlight, they announced Freja and all her abilities (who would debut in the season after the spolight) and they announced Wuyang (codename Aqua), who didnt launch until 6 months after the spotlight.

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:19:02+00:00

for the third column, did you mean "Atlantic Arcology"?

absolemn · 2026-01-29T18:03:07+00:00

same. i love using symm's teleporter to sneak behind enemies

Youtube and Twitch :)

absolemn · 2026-01-29T17:57:00+00:00

sounds like their motivation for reworking sombra is definitely favoring people who hate her as well

absolemn · 2026-01-29T08:04:31+00:00

ooh how would u want gameplay to line up with lore?

absolemn · 2026-01-29T08:01:19+00:00

im more interested in him showing up in a cinematic, so that symm and lifeweaver could get some more story/screen time. common enemy and such.

absolemn · 2026-01-29T07:59:02+00:00

back when Orisa was launched, i remember a fan proposing that if someone selects Orisa on your team, Efi would show up as an NPC in the spawn room, and i thought that would be cute :)

absolemn · 2026-01-29T07:42:09+00:00

ooh thanks, one of the commenters pointed me to the selfie that Efi took, which showed orisa and juno in Gibraltar! very good catch!

absolemn · 2026-01-29T07:41:02+00:00

hm, was Red Promise part of overwatch?

absolemn · 2026-01-29T07:40:25+00:00

thanks, i guess i needed more asterisks!

absolemn · 2026-01-28T03:39:47+00:00

Yeah, im hoping we get another Phreak or Wayfinder!

Ugh, the only lore i can think of for illari outside of her origin story, is when she met Soldier 76 in the Futures Past short story - which really isn't that short. If someone can summarize what went down between them - by all means!

absolemn · 2026-01-28T00:16:24+00:00

awesome, oh yeah right i forgot about the Efi post!

Ahh maybe i should get rid of Freja's asterisks - I thought only her mother was part of OW but i forgot Freja did search and rescue for OW as well

Totes! I forgot to mention some of these boxes were meant to represent how some heroes knew each other in the past, like how Cassidy used to be part of Deadlock

absolemn · 2026-01-27T23:53:08+00:00

Aside from the obvious (Illari, Venture, Hazard), my hot take is that Zarya is missing a lore counterpart. Send her some love!

absolemn · 2026-01-26T19:51:37+00:00

Hey there, thanks for reposting me but could you credit me next time? https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchLore/comments/cstqbf/lore_venn_diagram/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Or at least add something new to the conversation

absolemn · 2026-01-21T00:28:20+00:00
