Doomfist - Tumblr Posts

Doomfist who just doesn’t care mind flaunting his money for you, in fact he insists that you take his card with you wherever you go. He’s absolutely loaded and you couldn’t even make a dent in his pocket no matter what you spend.

He’s quite happy to spend it for you, if you’re a little unsure about taking his money. Akande will take you for decadent dinner dates and line your wardrobe with expensive clothes and fine lingerie - only for his eyes, of course.

He’ll never ask for anything back, but he’ll take his prize in the form of tearing whatever lingerie you’ve bought off with his teeth.

Having Doomfist lay flat on his back while you bounce on his heavy cock to your hearts content, his biceps flexing and straining as he fights the urge to grab ahold of your waist and take control.

It was a rare treat, for him to let you have your fun. Yet Akande couldn’t help but want to spoil it, to grip the fat of your hips and split you open on his cock faster, to bury your face in his sheets and sink balls deep so that you can feel him twitch against your backside. To completely and utterly ruin you.

He’d let you have your fun.

But once you tire out? Bracing either side of his thighs to catch a breather? He’s pinning you down like a butterfly to a corkboard and pumping a bunch of thick and creamy loads into your pretty cunt.

Just as a reminder to let you know who’s really in charge.

!Code of Violence spoilers!

Why are so many people against Gabe being an ex-cop?? Is it cuz of ACAB?? What’s the issue, I’m GENUINELY curious. If anything, it fits his character just fine. I could see Jack being an ex-cop too (Ik he’s not, but the role wouldn’t be far fetched).

Also many people have made good points about how he noticed Sombra manipulating him but not Akande and how Bap learned his lesson of how bad being a gun for Talon was much faster than Gabe. He was a Commander of a covert ops division for the largest/most popular organization dedicated to keeping peace (even if they screwed up here and there) and they downgraded all those years of experience just to play into Akande’s hands (I think).

I personally liked the story, but for having read all the comics there were still things I didn’t catch and or get that other people saw.

What I got from the short story was that he has good (ish) intentions, but he’s going about it in the “wrong” way. He’s tried playing by the rules, even if Blackwatch had more flexibility, but as he said—all systems are flawed. He’s resulting to his last option or what appears to be his last option, enforcing justice no matter the cost. I did appreciate the fact that he questioned whether or not what he was doing was right and how that voice in his head said that he didn’t have to do this, reading the name tags of the corpses that littered the hallways of the base showing us what humanity he has left.

A man in a state of constant rage at his past and at himself while trying to solve the world’s biggest problem—injustice. Injustice for those who have been wronged and for those whose justice has been stripped from them by force while at the same time, remembering moments where he was at peace, life was bearable, he was happy, and he had all he could’ve ever wanted. And yet this path that he’s chosen to go on pushes those moments away and refocuses his thoughts back to his objective.

Justice can’t exist while the corrupt, evil, and power-hungry reign. Especially when forces out there that try to put an end to the problem really aren’t doing all that they could to help.

Overwatch/OW2 Theories: Maximillian

This is going to be a longer post since the last two were shorter. Hope you like it! ~Nova

So, I’m a big fan of @mulberrybambi. They’re stuff is awesome and if you like Overwatch content you should follow them. I was scrolling through my feed about a week ago and one of their post caught my eye. It was part of their Swapped Au which focuses on the main Overwatch cast plus Reaper and Sojiro Shimada, Hanzo and Genji’s father. I’ll link the specific post, but the thing that I focused down on was the idea that Maximillian is Gérard Lacroix, Widowmaker’s “dead” husband, and I LOVE this idea with a passion. 

So, let me explain.  (Mulberrybambi’s post, go check them out).

In the post, Winston, who is going through files Reaper gave them, says, “he was the one who framed Gabe, Gabe caught on too quickly and he transferred his consciousness into an accounting Omnic to escape… he had Amélie kidnapped and brainwashed to cover it up and keep us occupied long enough for it to happen…” I think that this mostly makes a lot of sense, but the thing is that the timeline gets a little confusing if this is true, so I went through the Overwatch Wiki and some of the stuff on the Overwatch Media page and made my own, shortened timeline.

Latest to Most Recent: Venice Incident(Retribution Event), Widowmaker kills Gérard Lacroix both in 2068/2069; Storm Rising Event, the Swiss HQ explosion, then Overwatch is disbanded, all in 2070; Winston recalled Overwatch in 2076; present time(Paris attack) is in 2079.  

Based off what the Overwatch Wiki said, Blackwatch knew that Maximillian was Doomfist’s accountant about eight years before the Overwatch Recall. This would just line up with when Gérard Lacroix was “killed” by Widowmaker. So, it wouldn’t surprise me if we found out that Gérard transferred his consciousness into Maximillian’s body, like Dr. Liao did with Echo, and let Widowmaker shoot his body to cover it all up. 

Now, I want to make a list of traits that Maximillian and Gérard share which connect them further. Number one: they both existed around the same time, like I said early Maximillian popped up around the same time that Gérard died. Number two: they both worked in shady groups, Talon and Blackwatch. Even though Talon is an actual terrorist organization, and Blackwatch wasn’t, they both killed a good amount of people. Number three: they are both French. On the Overwatch Wiki trivia section, it said that Maximillian was named after Maximilien Robespierre who was a political figure during the French revolution. Robespierre had King Louis XVI and other nobles executed during a time period called the Reign of Terror, where a lot of the French people were executed. Maximillian is also the French variant of the Latin name Maximilianus. 

Anyways, if I have time, I’ll make another post about what skins I want to have in the 2021 Archives event. 

TLDR: I think that Gérard Lacroix, Widowmaker’s “dead” husband, transferred his consciousness into Maximillian’s body. I think this because Maximillian showed up after Gérard was “killed”, they both worked in groups that killed people, and they are both French.  

Overwatch Recalled: Hanzo

Hanzo Shimada is Genji’s older brother and one of the few characters that doesn’t have an affiliation with any large groups, Recalled Overwatch, Talon, etc. This makes it fun to speculate about what Hanzo might do it the future because he doesn’t seem to like anyone. So, I’m going to talk about why Hanzo might join either Overwatch or Talon or do something else.

 I think that he won’t really join either group, but probably has a more likely chance of joining Overwatch. So, let me explain.

Overwatch: In voice interactions, we know that Hanzo doesn’t get along well with most Overwatch members this includes Genji, McCree, and I’m including Zenyatta. He acts like he is better than them, but in interactions with other characters he seems to feel guilty about what happened to Genji. So, I think he wouldn’t want to join, but he would probably take joining Overwatch over Talon. Also, the only person he has a nice interaction with is Symmetra, so if she joins Overwatch, she might be key in convincing him to join. 

Talon: I find it very hard to believe that Hanzo would join Talon. He has interactions with Doomfist and Widowmaker. In his interactions with Doomfist, he seems annoyed. His interactions with Widowmaker suggest that he thinks he is a better Sniper than her and that he has no interest in restoring the Shimada empire. Based off this, I think that he wouldn’t join them, he might, but I think he would join Overwatch first. 

Kanezaka Fox Girl: The Kanezaka fox girl is a character who we learned about during Hanzo’s Kyogisha skin challenge. We learned that she will probably be the daughter of the women who trained Hanzo and Genji. That would make me think that she is around Genji’s age, whether she is older or younger, I’m not sure, but it would mean that she might be like a younger sister figure to Hanzo. If her an Hanzo get along, I think having them working/traveling together would be a good way to develop his character. 

Anyways, later, I’m going to make a short post about Ana Amari, then eventually I’m going to post the masterlist I’ve made for my Overwatch Recalled series and Overwatch Maps series. After I finish the masterlist, I’ll either do a post on possible new characters or possible new maps. 

TLDR: I think that Hanzo will probably not join any of the large groups. He might join Overwatch, probably not join Talon, and I want him to work/travel with the Kanezaka Fox Girl. 

Overwatch 2 Maps: Monte Carlo, Monaco

During Blizzcon 2019, we learned about a couple of maps including Toronto, Canada, Gothenburg, Sweden, Rio de Janeiro, and Monte Carlo, Monaco. I’ve made posts about all of these maps except Toronto and Monte Carlo. Currently, I can’t come up with any theories that involve Toronto, but I came up with one that has to do with characters that are linked with Monte Carlo. So, this post isn’t exactly a theory, it’s more of an overview about what the place is like in real life and what the map is going to be like. This will help me explain an theory I have planned for the near future. 

The Real Life Place: Monte Carlo, Monaco is at the base of the Maritime Alps and along the French Riviera. This places it close to the borders of both France and Italy with the main language spoken being French. It is known for several things including: how rich it is, the Formula Grand Prix event, their casino’s, and the beaches. 

In the Game, based on images: It is an escort map. The payload is designed to look like a blue race car that follows a road through a city that is close to a river. We know that there is one casino that you can get into which I think will be a spawn room and another spawn room will be a mechanics shop. In the area we know will be a spawn room, you can see a yellow race car that is being fixed or having its tires changed. 

In the Game, based on other parts of the lore: Maximillian owns a casino called Casino Monaco. It is used as his base of operations, we learned this in the Masquerade comic book. 

Anyways, I’m almost done with my masterlists, so those will be posted in like half an hour - 45 minutes. I’ll be posting about the Mystery Omnic from Storm Rising and eventually the MEKA Squad. 

TLDR: Monte Carlo, Monaco will be an escort map with city/streets terrain. The payload will be blue race car. Two buildings we know that will be in the map are Maximillian’s casino and a race car mechanics’ shop that is a spawn room. 

Overwatch/OW2 Theories: Storm Rising Mystery Omnic

Since the 2021 Archives Event is probably a couple weeks away, I was thinking about the challenge missions, Uprising, Retribution(my favorite one), and Storm Rising, and what theories I could come up with. I came up with two, but if I took more time to think about it I can probably come up with more. Anyhow, the first one I thought off was, “Who is the mystery Omnic talking to Doomfist at the ending cutscene of Storm Rising?” I’m going to talk about my theory and another theory that I found while researching. 

Basic Information: He is an Omnic with red eyes(Are they eyes, sensors?). His voice actor is most likely Ramon Tikaram. He is seen with a hooded outfit. It looks like you can see his wiring in a similar way to Blackwatch Genji. 

My Theory: I think that the mystery Omnic is from Null Sector. Doomfist says, “...you fight for your kind...” which would make sense for a character that is part of an extremist and violent group. Both Bastion and Orisa’s Null Sector skin show them having glowing red eyes(will go with eyes) just like this Omnic. This would work with my idea that Talon is attacking Zenyatta to kill him because he is a proponent of humans and Omnics living in peace, so Null Sector would want to work with Talon to kill him. 

Mondatta theory: Please go read exactly what was written, I’m adding to it. So, I like the idea that a Shambali Omnic turned bad would be a good enemy for Zenyatta, but I feel like it can’t be Mondatta. It is really reinforced in the Alive animated short that Mondatta is dead, he shouldn’t be able to come back (it would be an interesting twist, but I feel like it shouldn’t happen). But having a Shambali monk that Zenyatta knew would be a really good way to give us more Zenyatta lore. In my post about Talon attacking Zenyatta, one photo I show has an image of a Null Sector Omnic that looks a lot like the Omnic from Storm Rising. They both have the hood and have the red eyes.

Anyways, I’m going to make a post about the MEKA Squad later. Then, I’ll make a post about a specific member of the MEKA Squad and what connections they might have to another known organization, it’s going to be a kind of out of there theory, but it is also kind of fun. I’m also going to do a post on Fio, Blackwatch’s pilot that saved Reyes, Moira, Genji, and McCree during Retribution. 

TLDR: I think that the Mystery Omnic from Storm Rising is a member of Null Sector who might have been a brainwashed Shambali Monk. They might have been the one to ask Widowmaker and Sombra to attack Zenyatta in India. 

Overwatch/OW2 Theories: Casino’s link to Talon and Why it is Important.

Sorry this is so much writing, I had a lot to say! ~ Nova

The other day I made a post about the MEKA Squad and might have mentioned that Casino was going to get his own theory, so this is it. A while ago, I made a post about why D.Va is joining the Recalled Overwatch and while I still think that that post still holds up on its own, I now have a reason why she would join the Recalled Overwatch rather than “she just wanted to help more people”. What is that reason, you might ask, well have you read the title of this post? This is all about what connections Casino, who we hardly know about, has to Maximillian (and if you don’t know who Maximillian is, to be brief, he is Doomfist’s accountant and a high-ranking member of Talon).  

So, let me explain! 

His Aliases: We know that D.Va is a play on the world “diva” a synonym for a female singer/popstar, D.Mon is a play on the word “demon”, Overlord is a reference to StarCraft, and King is... well King is King, but why Casino of all names. I think that the developers chose “Casino” because it is in reference to the fact that Monte Carlo, Monaco is famous for its casinos. Going off of that, Maximillian owns a casino in Monaco. 

Mech Name: D.Va’s mech is Tokki, D.Mon’s is Beast, King’s is Singijeon, and Overlord’s is Mastermind. All the names of the mechs are in either English or Korean, but Casino’s is called La Princesse Sereine in French (the Serene Princess in English). As well as being in French the name of his mech might be a reference to the Serene Highness which is what the reigning families in Monaco are called. 

His Previous Occupation: While all of the MEKA Squad used to be former professional gamers, either playing StarCraft or Mecha Guardian V, Casino was a former Formula One racecar driver. This is a nod to the Monaco Grand Prix is a Formula One race which Casino may have attended(not sure if I’m saying that right, I don’t know much about cars or races). 

“Why is this all so important,” you ask, because this would be a really good reason for D.Va to join Overwatch. If Casino betrayed MEKA , that would be a really good opportunity for character development for D.Va. I say this as a D.Va one trick, she isn’t that deep in terms of character. Right now she comes off as a reckless kid who live streams her battles. After Shooting Star she will probably be more mature, but having Casino betray them would give her a better reason to fight compared to fame, money, or because she had it. 

And, hey, I want a Talon tank that is charismatic. I love Sigma, but I want someone who is the kind of character to take up space with the way they move and talk, kind of like Mauga, whenever we get to see him, and I want a villain that is evil for the fun of it. Most of the main Talon cast, in game, was forced into it or does it because they has other motives, but making Casino the character who likes being evil would make him a good villain because he used to be friends with Hana, and that would really give her a good reason to join Overwatch. Finally, having him join Talon in game would probably give us more fun interactions with Sombra which I am 100% down for. 

Anyways, I think I am going to take a break for a day or two, life has been pretty busy recently, but I’ll make sure to make a post about Fio first. 

TLDR: Casino’s aliases, previous job, and mech name are all reference to Monaco, where Maximillian is from. If Casino ends up being a Talon tank, it would be important because it would give D.Va a really good reason to join the Recalled Overwatch. Also, I want a Talon tank that is charismatic and evil for the sake of it. 

Overwatch/OW2 Theories: Fio

I am writing this while waiting for my Nintendo Switch to update so I can play Overwatch. That’s why it’s pretty short, but it wasn’t going to be that long either. Hope you all are as excited about the Roadhog skin as I am. Although I play D.Va a lot more than any other hero, I am a tank main with D.Va, Wrecking Ball, and Roadhog being some of my most played heros. ~ Nova

Alright, back on topic! Since Archives are coming up in a couple weeks, I was thinking about what I could talking about before it started. I came up the my theory on the Mystery Storm Rising Omnic(link), I wrote about what skins I wanted(link), so this theory is going to be about Retribution, my favorite game mode. The first thing that came to my mind was Fio. So, I’m going to go over what we know about her and I’m going to theorize about what role she might play in the future, if she plays any at all. 

Basics: Fio is a former Blackwatch pilot who was deployed to pick up Gabriel Reyes, Jesse McCree, Genji Shimada, and Moira O'Deorain in Rialto during the Venice Incident(which is the Retribution game mode). I’m not exactly sure who her voice actress is, it might be Echo’s voice actress, Jeannie Bolet. If you want to listen to her from Retribution, here is the link, her first lines are at 4:25.  

Overwatch Theory: Since we know Fio was a pilot, after Blackwatch and Overwatch disbanded, she probably joined the Air Force of the country she is from (maybe the USA? I’m not sure). Eventually, she would have gotten the recall message. We know that she didn’t respond to it like Tracer, Mei, or Reinhardt and Brigitte, but it would be cool if she showed up. It would me interesting to see her interactions with McCree and Genji.

Talon Theory: We know from Baptiste’s short story, What you Left Behind, that some ex-Overwatch/ex-Blackwatch member joined Talon after the groups were disbanded, some examples are people like Moira and Gabriel Reyes/Reaper. So, it is possible that Fio joined Talon. During Blizzconline, the Overwatch Devs. mentioned that we might get to play as Talon characters during hero missions, so they might have Fio as the pilot that drops them off wherever they need to go.  

Anyways, I got a lot more done yesterday than I thought I was going to, so I might just not post tomorrow. I think that I’m going to start theorizing about possible new characters and new maps, but I am going to make a post about ideas for future mini events/character challenges since Roadhog just got one. 

TLDR: Fio was the Blackwatch pilot that saved Reyes, McCree, Genji, and Moira. After Overwatch/Blackwatch disbanded, there are two main options of what would have happened to Fio. One, she joined the Air Force of her country, then she eventually shows up to help the Recalled Overwatch. Two, she joined Talon and acts as a pilot for Talon themed hero missions.

Overwatch Recalled: Mauga

I mentioned that I was going to go over another possible future hero and I chose Mauga. This is going to be like my Junker Queen post. I’m going to go over what we know, then speculate a little bit. 

What we know: Mauga is a member of Talon, specifically a Heavy Assault unit. We were really introduced to him in Baptiste’s short story What We Left Behind. He is a former friend of Baptiste, having worked together in Talon. He is described as being really tall and muscular. He seems to be extroverted, but we know that he is, most likely, a sociopath and, definitely, a sadist who flips from his lighter side and darker side quickly and is described as “a demon”. With all that said, he seems to have a soft spot for Baptiste, having allowed him to leave Talon in Monte Cristo. 

We can assume that he is from Samoa since his name means “mountain” in Samoan. Based off the image from What We Left Behind, Mauga has long dark brown hair with a white/silver streak. He also has tattoos along his left arm and chest.  

Speculation: He is the most likely character to be added to Overwatch 2, other than Sojourn, because the Overwatch Devs. planned to have him be Hero 31, but weren’t happy with how his kit fitted his character, so they created Sigma instead. Since Sigma is a tank and Sigma’s kit was based off Mauga’s, Mauga is going to be a tank. Also being a Heavy Assault unit, he would be like Orisa but he would have a machine gun on each arm. Since Sigma is an Offtank, Mauga will probably be a main tank to balance out the tank types. He will probably have some sort of shield that replaces one of his guns. 

Unlike Junker Queen, Mauga has no listed voice actor so I think that Kevin Michael Richardson should be his VA. I know him from his work on Batman the Brave and the Bold TV series as a list of characters and as the Joker in the animated Batman series, but he was also in Gravity Falls, Danny Phantom, the original Teen Titans, etc. If you want to look at the longer post about Kevin Michael Richardson follow this link.

Finally, I am interested in seeing his interactions with the members of Talon and Baptiste in game. I think that he will get along best with Sombra and clash the most with Baptiste or Reaper. Also, like I mentioned in my post about Fio, if we get Mauga as a character we might get the Talon story mode with six players instead of four since Mauga would be the second Talon tank, but we also need another Talon support, so get on that Blizzard. 

Also if you want to look at videos about Mauga, check out Master Ian Gamer’s videos;  Mauga New Hero Concept(Tank Abilities & Full Hero Kit) and Mauga New Hero Candidate Breakdown(HeroWatch). 

Anyways, I’m going to work on a post about possible ex-Blackwatch members and some other people in the profiles shown in the Recalled animated short, but if the Archives Event drops earlier than I think it is going to, I’m going to review the new skins and items. 

TLDR: Mauga is one the most likely characters to be added to the game. He is a Talon Heavy Assault unit which means he will be a tank. Even though he seems to be nice to people, he isn’t a great person, I mean... he works for Talon. He was close friends with Baptiste when they were in Talon together. 

He is tall, muscular, has dark brown hair with a silver/white streak, and he has tattoos. He is probably Samoan. He will probably be a main tank with dual machine guns and a shield. I want his voice actor to be Kevin Michael Richardson. I think that he will get along well with Sombra and might not like Reaper or Baptiste that much. If we get a Talon story mode in OW2, we might get to play as Mauga. 

Check out Master Ian Gamer’s videos; Mauga New Hero Concept(Tank Abilities & Full Hero Kit) and Mauga New Hero Candidate Breakdown(HeroWatch).

ALSO: The current Experimental Card is for April Fools Day and it is hilarious! Like Hanzo has scatter arrow again, Mei has like 400 HP, and Zenyatta can fly. 

Overwatch Events: April Fools

It’s April Fools and that means that the googly eyes are back. I’m not sure how far back the Overwatch team has done this for, since I started playing Overwatch in December 2019, but on April Fools day all of the Overwatch character get googly eyes. This year, though, the Overwatch team also added googly eyes on the payloads. It’s awesome! I got photos of my favorite characters with googly eyes.  Sorry for the quality of the photos.

Also, if you haven’t gotten the Midas Roadhog skin or the Good vs. Evil Echo skin, you have until April 6th to get them. Finally, I’m going to work on my post about an ex-Blackwatch tank and it should hopefully be out soon. Hope you all have a good April Fools! ~ Nova

Overwatch Event: 2021 Anniversary

Alright! On Twitter, Overwatch announced the 2021 Anniversary Event is going to be starting on Tuesday, May 18th, then ending on Tuesday, June 8th. I am REALLY excited! In the trailer on Twitter, you can see that Baptiste has a new skin, Tracer has a new emote, and Brigitte has a new emote. I love the new Baptiste skin and, surprisingly, Twitter seems to also like it. I'm not totally sure what the Baptiste skin is about, but it gives me disco vibes. Now all that we need is a Symmetra skin; she hasn't gotten a legendary skin in two years.

Here's the link to the Twitter announcement if you want to check it out, and while we learn more about the new skins I will make posts about them.

Finally, if you haven't checked out my new side blog, I would appreciate it if you did so, I will be posting about books and some TV shows. My first post, which I am working on currently, will be about my favorite book series.

Overwatch Events: 2021 Anniversary

Happy 5th Year of Overwatch!!! I have to admit, I think I love all of these skins!!! Like they didn't miss this time and the background music hits hard! I mean, they made Wrecking Ball into an 8-Ball and gave him a little tux!!!!! Also, watch out for my 2021 Anniversary Events skin rankings coming as soon as I can get it out!

Overwatch Events: 2021 Anniversary Skin Rankings.

We got 8 new skins with the 2021 Anniversary Event(3 Epics, 5 Legendaries), and I will rank them! I will be ranking them in their category of Epic or Legendary, but I do think that all of them are cool. From top to bottom, I will go from my favorite to least favorite.

Epic Weekly Challenge Skins

Wrecking Ball - 8 Ball(Week 3): I love it so much! I think that it is such a good idea and that it was executed perfectly. I love how he has a little tuxedo and I love the wood grain and black plastic texture. I think that this could have been a legendary skin, I know that I would have bought it.

Echo - Bird of Paradise(Week 2): I think that it is super pretty and works really well with Echo's character. I love how colorful it is, but I wish that they incorporated a little more blue into the skin. I love the flower designs on her legs, chest, and arms.

Ana - Cybernetic(Week 1): I like this skin, no as much as the other skins. The color palette reminds me of Sombra's classic skin. I think the moving pixels inside her cape look awesome. The color palette and how they executed it were well done, but the visor is weird. I wish they just gave her a mask, like her Shrike skin.

Legendary Loot Box Skins

Sombra - Black Cat: She's a catgirl... that's it... that's my reason. But seriously, it's super cute! I love the fact that she has toe beans and cat ears. Fun Fact, the first gold gun I got was Sombra's and I think that it looks really good with the skin.

Junkrat - Junkfood: Yet another extremely colorful skin! It's so great! I think that this is the most detailed skin out of all of these ones. Some of my favorite details are the candy cane peg leg, moving cherry on his left boot, and the donut on his concussion mine.

Baptiste - Funky: I think that this skin looks great. I love how his gun has a texture that reminds me of 1970s cars and that he was a lava lamp in his backpack. I also think that his belt is cool, but I just don't think it is better than Junkfood or Black Cat.

Moira - Venus: I think that it is a cool skin with a good concept and pretty good execution with a lot of detail. With that said, similarly to the Baptiste skin, I just don't think it looks as good as the other skins.

Doomfist - Gladiator: I don't like it that much. I don't know whatever he is wearing on his face, I think it would look better if we could see his face. I just don't like it; Formal is a better skin by a lot.

Anyways, I hope you all are enjoying the event so far, I certainly am. I actually just won enough games to get the Ana skin! I will be posting on my side blog about my favorite book series soon, then about my one series in particular.

OWL: The Overwatch League Vault

Alright, sorry this is a little late, but it is important! From now until August Tuesday 24th, you will be able to get 4 old Overwatch League-themed skins. You will be able to get...

Zen-Nakji is a Zenyatta skin designed for the 2018 OWL Season MVP Seong-Hyun "Jjonak" Bang.

Flying Ace is a Winston skin designed to celebrate the London Spitfire's 2018 championship win.

GOAT is a Brigitte skin designed to pay homage to the GOAT meta that dominated the 2019 OWL Season.

Thunder is a Doomfist skin designed to celebrate the San Francisco Shock's 2019 championship win.

I'm super glad these skins came back because I wasn't able to get them originally, so that's really cool! Each skin costs 200 OWL tokens and you can get tokens for free by watching the Overwatch League on YouTube, on the app, or on the website.

TLDR: You can get Zen-Nakji Zenyatta, Flying Ace Winston, GOAT Brigitte, and Thunder Doomfist from now until August 24th for 200 OWL tokens each. You can watch the Overwatch League on YouTube and on their website/app if you want to get tokens.

Overwatch League: Playoffs and Grand Finals Perks

Alright, we are going to be able to get SO MUCH by watching the Overwatch League playoffs and grand finals!

Playoffs Perks - If you watch...

3 Hours: Overwatch League Reinhardt, Soldier: 76, and Torbjörn skins.

6 Hours: Overwatch League Junkrat, Roadhog, and Sombra skins.

9 Hours: Overwatch League Doomfist, Hanzo, and McCree (or as Twitter is calling him, Dave Overwatch) skins.

Grand Finals Perks - If you watch...

30 minutes: unique Grand Finals Spray.

1 hour: Overwatch League Orisa, Pharah, and Symmetra skins.

2 hours: Overwatch League Genji, Moira, and Reaper skins; 100 Overwatch League tokens.

Also, every hour of the Overwatch League you watch gives you 5 OWL tokens (the schedule is the photo below). If you want to see even more specific stuff here is the link to the website.

Overwatch Events: 2022 Lunar New Year Teaser

Alright, the Overwatch Twitter made an announcement about the 2022 Lunar New Year event! It will be starting on Tuesday, January 25th and ending on Tuesday, February 15th.

We can also predict, based on voice lines heard in the teaser, that Doomfist, Mercy, and Tracer will be getting skins. I would assume that they will be getting three out of the five legendary skins that come with the event since Tracer got an epic skin in the 2021 Winter Wonderland event, so giving her another epic skin would be a little weird.

We'll probably be getting a skin teaser later today and we'll probably be getting two skin teasers tomorrow. So, I'll try to put updates out as soon as they come out. ~ Nova.

Overwatch Events/Updates: Bastet Ana and Sojourn Trailer

Alright, here's a quick update on stuff. Sorry that this is short, I've been super busy this week.

The Bastet Ana challenge is live until April 19th. You need to win a maximum of 27 games to get the skin (a win counts as two points). Here is a link to the twitter announcement.

We got more information about Sojourn via an Origin Story video.

Some of this information includes: her actual name is Vivian Chase, she is an Acting Commander for some organization(it might be Overwatch, but I'm not sure when she is referencing that title bc that could mess with the timeline), she was a member of the Canadian Special Forces when she first worked with Overwatch during the Omnic Crisis. After that Jack Morrison got into contact with her about joining Overwatch and she ended up joining. She worked a lot of different types of missions in Overwatch, she just did whatever was needed to do.

We knew she had some cybernetic/prosthetics, but there seem to be a lot more than we could see before. She had some kind of cybernetics connected to her arms, legs, and eyes. She also has the little mechanical pieces on her face that some other characters have (Doomfist and Moira, kind of. So, maybe she was hurt by Talon or those types of cybernetics were created by Overwatch and taken by Talon). There are probably more things revealed in the origin story, but those were the main things in my eyes. I will include the video below for you to watch, but here is the twitter link for anyone who wants it.

Smaller note: apparently the codenames most Overwatch agents use seem to be called 'Callsigns'. I never heard about this, so I'm not sure if this is specific to Sojourn or if this is some new thing they have expanded on in lore.

Anyways, that's it. I hope you all have a good day! ~ Nova.

Overwatch Events/OW2 News: Combat Medic Baptiste and New Ability Kits

Alright, sorry for the late update. This past week was super chaotic, I had a lot of school work, but I wanted to post a quick update, so here it is.

The Week 3 Challenge for the Anniversary Remix Volume 1 has begun. You can win Combat Medic Baptiste by playing 27 games total (a win counts as two games). You also win his player icon and sprays (one of which features Mauga).

2. The ability kit for Doomfist was announced today. Here is the link to the tweet from the official Overwatch twitter. The mains points are the following: he is now a tank, he has a blocking ability that charges his rocket punch faster, uppercut was removed, and seismic slam acts more like a Winston jump.

3. The ability kit for Orisa was also announced today. Here is the link to the tweet from the official Overwatch twitter. Most of her abilities have been changed or deleted, so I will include an image below explaining her abilities.

4. Sojourn's official abilities have been announced. Here is the tweet that announced it. I will also include the image of the ability list below.

5. As excited as I am to play Sojourn, I am also excited about the upcoming cinematic that has been announced that focuses on Sojourn (especially since she has a pet dog in the footage we have seen). I will include a video talking about it here. This videos also address' the quick look we get at Roadhog's OW2 appearance which I will be discussing in a separate post because of the lore implications that I think are tied to his look.

Anyways, that is the main news that I wanted to cover. I'll be posting later this week about Roadhog's new look, so keep an eye open for that. ~ Nova.

Overwatch 2 Release Date Announcement and Junkerqueen Confirmation

Alright! PlayOverwatch released a video through twitter which shows us more footage and gives us more information about Overwatch 2. In this post I’m going to be discussing what is listed in the tweet, then in another post I will be going through the video as in detail as I can. I’m just doing these separately since I will need a little more time to go through the video. 

Free to Play Live Service - There is going to be a Free to Play Live Service coming with OW2. Since the video was more focused on introducing new characters and new cosmetics, we weren’t given specifics about how the free to play service will work, but they will probably discuss it during the Overwatch 2 Reveal Event on June 16th, 2022.

New heroes, maps and modes - We will be getting more characters in OW2. Junkerqueen and the Kanzaka Fox Girl/Character were confirmed in the video. We’ll be getting new maps like the following (note: some of these were in the Beta, some weren’t but based off the video we know they exist): Circuit Royale, Midtown, Rio de Janeiro,  Colosseo, New Queen Street, and the unnamed monastery-like map which I believe is in India. We will be getting the new Push mode and will hopefully get at least one other mode to replace 2CP. 

New Tank: Junkerqueen - Junkerqueen will be the newest addition to the tank roster. Her weapons seem to be a shotgun and an ax. She also seems to have an ability, which may be her ultimate, that is a mix of Reinhardt’s charge and Orisa’s Javelin Spin. 

Overwatch 2 Release Date and the Founder’s Pack - OW2 will be releasing on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch consoles on October 4th. You will be eligible to get the Founder’s Pack if you own Overwatch before June 23rd, 2022 at 11:00 am PDT and to redeem the pack, you need to log into the live game by 12/05/2022 at 11:59 pm PDT. To get more specifics on that, here’s the article I used as reference: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23814216/. 

Here are the two tweets related to what I have written - Main Announcement and Founder’s Pack Tweet. Anyways, that’s all I have for today. I will be working on an analysis of the main announcement’s video, so look out for that. Also, make sure to look out for the Overwatch 2 Reveal Event on June 16th, 2022 at 10am PDT.  - Nova.
