I was watching a Youtube video of all the Cinematic from the new Overwatch Invasion update (cause heaven knows I ain't buying it) and I noticed at the end Ramattra has this like.. Burn? Mark?? On his chest that goes through his cape
So I downloaded Overwatch on my PC to get a look at the Wandering/Traveling Monk skins this scene is using and I noticed..
Traveling and Wandering have a lot of visual differences, most notably in the burn the originally got my attention.
Wandering has been used canonically to show Ramattra's monk days previously, in his origin story and in the Developer commentary, but interestingly the artwork in those videos is lacking that very burn
Overwatch character designers are very good at visual storytelling, especially with Omnics (I could write an essay on what they've done with Zenyatta), so I believe this burn may very well be what became the Last Straw for Ramattra, what pushed him to leave the Shambali, what caused his fall into violence and eventually Talon.
Was he attacked? Or was he attempting to protect someone else? Despite his best efforts to shield them, the shot fired right past him, scorching his metal, cutting through his cape, and taking their life...
Hello hello, I just thought you should know that Overwatch: Declassified gave us more Gérard lore and part of an explanation for The Cape Town Incident! Apparently he and Gabe would often go on "vacations" ;) as private citizens to take care of Blackwatch business vigilante-style. Just the visual of these two using up all their "vacation" time galivanting around the globe sightseeing and quietly taking out criminals is absolutely delicious. (Literally whenever these "vacations" are mentioned in the book it's put in quotations and it kills me, lmao)
This message SENT me
Had to draw them like "007 at the beginning of his mission doing tourism" X'D
I think I just experienced the worst overwatch game ever 😭😭😭
Okay so it was Eichenwalde and I was playing support. The first round went really well and we pushed the payload to the end - then disaster struck on the second round 💀
The tank asked one of the supports to play Lúcio so I went him and it didn’t really go well, so I switched back to Ana and I died pretty quickly, and at that point they had gotten the payload to the bridge so I went back to Lúcio to try and boop some of them off (I got off like one Moira) and I stayed on the hero for a while before switching back to Ana.
I told the Tank to switch to D.VA bc they kept getting rolled by the enemy tank. Then suddenly the tank and the other support start flaming me and telling me to heal and to stop switching?? I was really confused because I was healing and utilising myself a normal amount
Then the tank says “Plasma can u aim?” And I say “Yes” and then they say “Well do it” I had literally been healing them the whole time and not missing often… so atp I seriously had no idea what their problem was…
I say “Why mean” and they say “Truth”… and then they say “Ana ur accccc so baaaaaad” I was so confused 😭
So then I ask what their problem is and they say “0 heals”
“I have??” I said.
“Double heals from our queen mercy” they said. Mercy was our other support. SHE HAD LIKE 21,000 FUCKING HEALING AND I HAD 15,000. THE ENEMY SUPPORTS HAD AROUND 15,000 HEALING TOO.
So I say “Ur just titled. She’s prob a healbot.”
“Ana isn’t about heals its utility” I also said
Then we lose (obviously) and they said “Avoid this tw at” so I said I was gonna report them.
It doesn’t fucking end there though.
I checked the replay and spectated our Mercy and oh my god. I have never seen Mercy gameplay so atrocious. I don’t even know how to put in words how bad she was…
So for a short summary she was a healbot. Like the definition of a healbot. SHE ONLY USED THE BLUE BEAM ONCE BRIEFLY FOR HALF A SECOND. THE ENTIRE GAME SHE WAS JUST USING THE YELLOW BEAM. Also her movement was just awful
So I concluded that they were probably a duo (the tank and support) and the tank was blaming me before anyone could blame her maybe. He could’ve been boosting her because her gameplay tells me she’s bronze 5. Jfc.
I even showed my older sibling (ex mercy main) and they were flabbergasted and said it was the worst mercy gameplay they’d ever seen 😭
I’m never playing support again. I’m tired of that game. I’m going back to being a Widow main
