I always know where my duo is because she always spams voice lines 😂

ITS THE SAME GUY OMG

(Winton has internet issues btw, that's what they're talking about because it made him leave. We still won though)!

This made me laugh 😂

For context the enemy team had a leaver and the 'ow no' happened when they got the first point.

They couldn't push the payload though 😂😂

Kiriko and the Shimada brothers

So we all know that Kiriko is Japanese and supposedly trained with the Shimada brothers when they were younger. Here's the official artwork Blizzard released, detailing this in fact:

Here is the exert you get if you google whether she trained with them as well:

'Kiriko's parents were both excellent at both wielding and making swords, and her mother, Asa, is the one who taught Hanzo and Genji everything they know. In her youth, Kiriko joined in on the lessons her mother gave to the two young Shimada brothers, and Kiriko herself also learned how to use the weapons'

Now, based of those pictures, what do you think the age difference between Kiriko, Genji and Hanzo is?

That's right if you guessed 16 and 19 years then you're correct! If you guessed anything below the number 10, you would be wrong.

Because it obviously looks like there's 16 years between Kiriko and Genji in these photos.

Obviously.

Let's just offer a round of applause to Blizzard for messing up their own timeline because in the current game, Kiriko is 21, Genji is 37 and Hanzo is 40.

Well done Blizzard.

Can't even stick to your own time line.

Blackwatch timeline

Ok, so, bear with me, this is going to take a lot of little points for me to peace together to make the bigger picture here.

So, we know that Gabriel Reyes worked as a police officer and was know for arresting lots of criminals, but then he didn't find his work having any sort of impact of the criminal rate and figured that to destroy crime he had to cut it off at the source, correct?

And he was born in 2018, making his 58 in the current (Overwatch) year of 2076. We also know the Omnic crisis started exactly 30 years ago, when he was 28.

Then (If we're going with the earliest years possible for everything) Overwatch was founded a year later and he was put in charge of Overwatch as Strike Commander when he was 29.

If we're approximating that the Omnic Crisis lasted about 3 ish years, then he was 32 when it ended and his Command was switched to Blackwatch.

He was 32 when Blackwatch was created!

The sting operation that resulted in Jesse McCree (or Cole Cassidy whatever you want to call him) joining Blackwatch took place when McCree was 17. Which leads me to the question of who was Gabriel Reyes even working with on missions before hand? Did he have a strike squad before he picked up Jesse McCree?

We also know there's about ten years age difference between Gabriel Reyes and Jesse McCree, which means McCree was 12 when Blackwatch was formed.

And Genji joined Blackwatch in 2066, which is only 10 years prior. Making Gabriel Reyes 48 and Jesse McCree 38. That is a huge age gap and what do we even know about what happened during that time?

Roughly a year or so later we know that Gabriel Reyes invites Moira into Blackwatch and she starts her experiments on him? But like, we know nothing about these experiments, only what they did. And if the short story 'Code of Violence' is being added into the mix, then we're led to believe that the initial experiments that Moira conducted on him did not have as dramatic effect. I don't really know what that entails, but it could mean that he could mist and move around a little bit, but was otherwise a full man. In the 'Code of Violence' short story it's mentioned that Moira is the one to find Gabriel Reyes after the explosion of the Overwatch facility, and to 'save' his life she pumped him full of the chemicals she used in her prior experiments, the results being Reaper. It meant his body became more mist like and he had to concentrate on being a full man almost every moment of the day, it also meant he was in constant pain and his anger was harder and harder to control. He also started to find gratification in the more gruelling and cruel acts. Or at least that was the impression I got from the story. But my point is, the most we have referencing the experiments Moira conducted on Gabriel Reyes are this picture:

And a paragraph or two in the story 'Code of Violence' which more focuses on his internal struggles immediately after the incident.

Then, (getting back on track, that was a bit of rant sorry) we know the Venice incident took place 8 years ago, when Gabriel Reyes kills Antonio Bartalotti and reveals Blackwatch to the world, and putting it under the investigation of Jack Morrison, Gérard Lacroix and Ana Amari. As seen in the end scenes of Retribution and in the photo below:

We also know that somewhere in between the next two years Genji moves from the Blackwatch divison to the Overwatch strike team including Tracer, Mercy and Winston. We also know that his cybernetics have been updated in this time. But, I'm not entirly confident on the idea that he was moved to Overwatch from Blackwatch, there's nothing that we know (or I've found) that supports that idea, other than him appearing in the Overwatch strike team during the Storm Rising archives mission and his updated cybernetics.

Then, 6 years ago the Overwatch Swiss HQ is blown up and Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison are presumed dead. The Petras act is ratified and Overwatch is disbanded.

A lot of investigation is put into Overwatch and Blackwatch's activities between the time period of the Retribution achieves mission and the Petras act's ratification. Which is a time period of roughly 2 years.

My point is, there are huge gaps in the timeline and not all the information is concrete, a lot of it is inferred from what we have. (Blizzard I beg give us more lore).

There's the 5 years between Blackwatch being founded and McCree being bought into the organisation, where we know next to nothing.

Then there's 21 years between McCree and Genji joining Blackwatch. What happened in those 21 years? Surely there are some important events to note in 21 years?

The later years of Blackwatch are less murky, but there's still no solid dates or years being handed to us by Blizzard and it's been 7 years! I mean come on! All the dates and ages I used in this are drawn from the Overwatch Timeline on the fandom Wiki, and those are only approximations that make sense with the ages we've been given for the current game.

Anyway, I just wanted to complain about this because I feel like I don't hear enough people complaining about it. It's probably the same for Overwatch, but at least we have more of an idea what the Overwatch organisation was like. We roughly know that there were a lot more foot soldiers than Blackwatch had, at least that's what I thought was implied every time it was bought up or featured. It's easier to fill in the gaps between the years as general peace keeping, but Blackwatch was supposed to handle the more rogue missions (Can't really think of a better word for it). There's only so much guessing and filling in we can do Blizzard!

If you read this far thank you, you're a real one.

New Junk City and Junkertown

Ok, so clearly these two are connected, but... how? The map of Junkertown is pretty closed off right? I can't imagine how the two are connected, because obviously they must be, since they're both 'Junker'.

Istg is Blizzard comes out with some rubbish like they're two separate locations I'm going to throw hands. I can imagine them saying something like 'Junker town belonged to the previous Junker King and new Junk town was the town Junker Queen built'.

Which is rubbish because Junker Queen has literal voice lines when the gates of Junker town open for specific people. Plus there's posters and propaganda of her all over Junker town.

So, I have no idea how Blizzard are going to connect Junker town and New Junk City. I'd really appreciate a map or something yk Blizzard. Like can you actually make your lore make sense for a hot moment, please and thank you.

I was so confused when everyone appeared on my platform, but it doesn't show on the clip 😂

Dexter has his priorities straight 👍🏻

Is Reaper a COVID baby because he was born in 2018, and (hypothetically if COVID happened in Overwatch Universe) would have been turning 2 during the lockdown? Like would he have been one of those toddlers that didn't develop proper social skills at nursery?

I think about this sometimes...

On today's episode of 'what does the OW2 idiot' think now?

D.va thinks the enemy team hearing her footsteps is 'wall hacks'

Love a supportive team mate <3

When the other support gets a compliment so you start getting competitive because you want a compliment too

And our end game stats :)

Love these kinds of games ♥️

(Also is the compliment thing just me?)

I love Junkrat man, he's so cute and gets so much hate from the OW members for no reason 🥺

I love this interaction hehe 😚😚

Just found this photo of my duo sitting on someone's head ✨

And I thought I should share 😚

Is there some OW2 sniper prejudice I didn't know about??

I played Ashe on DEFENCE, Reaper on OFFENCE

(We won btw 🤔)

Good morning everyone how is your morning going? This is how mine is going 🙃

This was painful to complete 🥲

Round 2... 5 stars somehow 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just some friendly overwatch 'banter' 🥰🥰

Why can't people just be nice 🫠

Finally got 5 stars on the first level of Mercy's Hero Mastery... Just 2 more to go

(Also hate the glitch where your gold gun doesn't show up so much!! Makes me so sad cos Mercy's gold gun was my second one 💔)

I relate to this comment on a spiritual level 🫠

Assult Maps/2 CP

2 CP is now in the arcade and I couldn't be happier (that's a lie put them in comp and I'd be happier) because they're so much fun! It makes me miss Ow1 though 💔

Hero Mastery

I just logged on to play the new hero Mastery and bro??? I was so hyped for this and it's so stilted and slow? How is this supposed to help me master Mercy at all? I don't know about you but I'm so, so disappointed by this. Like it feels really slowly and clunky and it doesn't flow the way I thought it would. I don't know what to say blizzard... I'm disappointed

🤖😈🔥

hehe

Edgy emo team….

And then there’s mercy

I AM DECEASED

I AM DECEASED

I'm going to rebolg every satire Genji meme I come across on this post...

I AM DECEASED
