hoping it's either Pharah or Sombra. I would die if it was Pharmercy confirmed but the head writer is a Genji shipper so that won't ever happen.

I wouldn't be surprised though if they just do some fujioshi fanservice and reveal it's McCree.

>>>/v/357169156

>>2184663
>>2184667
>>2184669
It's gonna be Jack or Reyes and it's going to be revealed in First Strike. If November anon is right, that is.

>>2184663

>>2184682
what do you mean

>>2184663

Why a "reveal"?

Just let it casually be part of the lore

>>2184698
I thought they would reveal it in a comic that comes out soon and not make a special announcenent about it. Of course one doesn't exclude the other
And people are already guessing we (well not we per se) might get something in First Strike.

>>2184698
That doesn't get the "progressive" bonus. They have to make a show of it because otherwise they'd be treating LBGT people like normal people instead of things to include for "inclusiveness" or "diversity".

I wish they'd just released the heroes and had their orientations casually mentioned in their backstory or interactions with others, instead of making a big show of it. Feels dumb.

>>2184722

It's not even about the whole gay thing

Announcement of an announcement is always fucking dumb. It's just worse when it's "we gon' reveal a homo soon guys!!!"

can't wait for the ships to sink

everyone who wanted canon orientations, fuck you, you asked for the upcoming lolocaust

>>2184745
Just because they announce one character doesn't negate any other ships, you know?

>>2184745
I think it's safe to assume they've always had canon orientations anon, Blizzard's just now getting around to revealing some of them, maybe. Unless you were one of the people who wanted every girl in the game to be hard gay I don't see why the idea of some of them being straight would bother you

I doubt Tracer sees Sombra as a "rival". She's more antagonized by Tracer than seen as an equal to compare herself to.

Sombra is more of a support DPS than a true flanker anyway. Tracer's ability to burst damage and make multikills far superceeds Sombra's.

>>2184929

>>2184929
Can't hack his ult

>>2184916
His ult isn't "digital", so I don't know why you would assume she could hack it. She can't hack Hanzo's ult, either.

>>2184931
More likely than not his ninja acrobatics are purely mechanical and don't depend on any kind of hackable signal.

>>2184926
I know they're responding to people asking about it, but the only reason they're asking is because Blizzard has made it a big secret who the gay characters are and whipped up their "reveal" to get progressive headlines. Let's be honest, they'll announce two, maybe three people are gay or less likely bi, and that's fine in and of itself. The shitstorm will come from all the people they don't mention, because they'll be presumed straight, correctly or not.

I dunno, I guess I just want to get to the point where having gay characters isn't seen as selling or marketing point, it's just normal.

>>2184959
Sombra's hacking isn't dependent on abilities being digital or not, the dev's said she can disable anything McCree's flashbang could already stop and nothing that it couldn't, like say Mei's ult drone, which you'd expect she could stop based purely on her "hacking" premises but in reality she can only stop her from using it in the first place. If Mei gets it out then Sombra can't do shit about it.

Honestly right now she's basically a more team support oriented version of Tracer or Genji, whose only job is to be highly mobile and kill/harass people. Sombra's health kit hacks and Ult are much better for enabling a push or breaking a siege.

>>2184970
>but the only reason they're asking is because Blizzard has made it a big secret who the gay characters are and whipped up their "reveal" to get progressive headlines

No? First time anything about this was said last year on Blizzcon when someone asked if there are gay characters. They said yes but that they want stuff like that to be reaveled naturally through the story.
There was no good opportunity for them story wise to get on this topic so far. They aren't making a huge secret about it and they wouldn't mention there are gays if no one asked. What would you have them do? Refuse to answer the question? Say that no, there arent? Make a tweet announcing the gays?

>>2184974
So she's basically what they showed her to be in the short.

>>2184991
>they haven't actively done anything to drive hype that i remember.
True. It's only just now that they announced that it would be revealed "soon" that it's a bit more hype behind it.
Still calling that it will just be someone of the original Strike Team that gets revealed to be gay.

So no one extracted her quotes/dialogues and put them on soundcloud yet? I was curious what are her interactions with Zarya/Widow/Tracer

>>2184974
>anything McCree's flashbang could already stop and nothing that it couldn't
Well, McCree's flashbang can't disable Genji's ult. If an ulting Genji gets stunned, as soon as the stun wears off he can start slashing again.

>>2184997
Sombra can't disable Genji's ult either. She can prevent him from starting it, but if his sword is already out then all she can do is disable the dash. Apparently she can't disable the deflect, and Genji can also deflect her hack for some reason, though I have no idea what happens to someone he deflects it towards.

>>2184999
>deflect her hack
Goddammit. What can't he deflect, the universe? I swear, sooner or later they'll give him the ability to deflect charging Reinhardt.

>>2184994
There are multiple gays/bis
People should chill and let them do their thing and honestly I find it pretty cringy how half of the replies to whatever they tweet is PLS REVEAL THE GAYS/WHO ARE THE GAY CHARACTERS/MAKE MCHANZO CANON etc

Does the First Strike even have a release date. Paperback was announced for Apr 18, 2017, but digital was only said to be out in November and it's November now but I don't think they even mentioned anything about it on Blizzcon?

>>2184999
>Apparently she can't disable the deflect
>Genji can also deflect her hack

What
She is supposed to block every button ability. And for the second thing literally how. There really must be tons of Genji fags at Blizzard.

>>2185002
I suspect it's because they reused code from McCree's flashbang for Sombra's hacking. It would be relatively little work to take the stun effect, remove the movement/firing disable, and stick it on Sombra's kit with a new visual effect.

Also, her hack is coded as a projectile ability instead of as a beam. Genji can deflect every projectile in the game, including things like 76's biotic field (It's a projectile for the .2 seconds he throws it to the ground) so I don't think this is favoritism so much as unintentional side effects.

>>2185003
She doesn't block every button ability. Roadhog can still hook for one thing, he can't heal though.

>>2185005
>he can't heal
Absolutely retarded.
They should pick a direction with her kit and go with it. If she's supposed to be a hacker, make it so her abilities only affect things that can be hacked. This is all over the place.

>>2184996
There's literally no pre-game interactions that anyone can find, she's just got kill lines and people reacting to her when she dies. So far I've heard Tracer, Reaper and Widow react to her being killed by them.

>>2185006
If I had to guess, I'd say they probably went with a more generic silence effect because otherwise she'd be a much more situational hard counter to several characters if she only affected "hackable" abilities, like say being able to completely shut down Zenyatta or something. Or it would've been more resource intensive to code in new functions to shut down things outside of the scope of McCree's flashbang. This is getting pretty offtopic for /u/ though so it's that last I'll say about it

>>2185005
>She doesn't block every button ability. Roadhog can still hook for one thing, he can't heal though.

Are you fucking kidding me right now. I actually dont have words for this

>>2185007
Oh, I heard someone saying she has interactions with Zarya pre-match
What does these 3 say when they kill her ?

>>2185012
Reaper says something like "Too smart for your own good".

Tracer calls her a thief.

Not sure about Widow, haven't heard that one yet

>>2185012
>Widow: Not so smart now.
>Tracer: No one likes a thief.

I can't remember what Reaper says, sorry.

>>2185023
This wouldn't happen in-game, the dev's said they made a special instance for Mercy and Zenyatta that turns the beam/orb invisible if they're healing a cloaked Sombra.

Cute though

>>2185014
>>2185016
It doesn't sound like even her "teammates" like her very much

>>2185027
Just saw a video about this, Mercy's beam and Zarya's barrier show where Sombra is, Zen's orb disappears with her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ1tkG94nLw

Do you think Sombra looks up to Tracer? Does she just enjoy bullying her?

>>2185071
the later. which is ok because that's /u/'s fetish.

>>2185071
Best bitch

>>2185006
If Sombra could disable "everything", it would make her massively broken. Every game would be decided by her ult alone.
The game doesn't completely align with the story so stop expecting it all to make sense.

I want her to disable hackable things. That's not everything. Disabling Roadhog's healing, that's "everything".

>the story
...has nothing to do with it. Genji is a ninja, so his kit is ninja-like. Lucio is a musician, so his kit reflects that. Sombra is a hacker, so she can disable gas inhala- now just wait a minute.

I chalk it up to the same shit Ana can do with her Friend or Foe syringe bullets: NANOMACHINES, JACK

Do you need to play Overwatch to understand the characters? The characters are everywhere nowadays and I like the designs but am not into the actual game.

>>2185308
All of the fan content is complete and utter wank. The in-game interactions are sparse, the canon content is minimal, and Blizzard is incorporating fan depictions into the game.

>>2185308
Well you should read up some info about the characters and watch the animated shorts (and origins video) released so far to get some idea about what's it all about at least.

>>2185252
Awesome!

>>2185308
You don't need to play the game to enjoy the story. Just watch the shorts and origin stories, read the comics and their backstories and look up interactions between the characters.

>>2185308
The game isn't even canon.

>>2185493

>All of the fan content is complete and utter wank.
I've heard of wrong opinions, but this is on a whole new level.

>>2185554
It's not entirely wrong. Of course a lot of it involves characters that aren't relevant to this thread. Like this whole Reyes being the unwanted suggorate Dad for McRee and Ana they weirdly doting yet stern mother.

First Strike when. Any theories?

>>2185676
Definitely not /u/ territory unless the loli and Ana talk to each other.

>>2185071
Ahorita regreso, cheers love, ehehehe. Wut? Tracer being a bad chick magnet apparently.

>>2185677
How is it not relevant? It's possible LGBT so it's possible /u/

>>2185683
Sombra stole the tech for her Translocator from Winston's design for Tracer's Chronal Accelerator. Don't think she has a thing for Tracer, Sombra apparently prefers MILFS

>>2185685
How is it possible /u/ when Ana is the only relevant female hero showing up?

>>2185685
There won't be anything /u/ in it. It might have some bones for /y/ but that's about it

>>2185689
That is a damn shame

>>2185689
I'm aware amiga, the thing is, Blizzard seem to like Tracer being bullied by purple-clad femme fatales and I ain't even complaining SOMBRA x MOTHER RUSSIA YES

>>2185910
I assume they're walking a fine line between "We need an LBGT character" and "We don't want to have any indications of romance between the actual playable characters" per their earlier statements. The easiest way to do that would be to make the LBGT character someone new, but that would cause a different kind of outcry.

>>2185910
Believe nothing. It's obvious they are tired of this being brought up and are eager to get it over with.

>>2185925
Tracer is arguably the least likely to be gay. Since she's the game's "mascot".

>>2185932
Nah, it's gonna be Torbjorn because no one gives a rat's ass about him.

>>2185920
All they gotta do is put in some piece of backstory in a comic
Please give me a comic about teenage pilot Tracer and her first crush on some older Overwatch female agent

>>2185926
They probably would rather stop being asked about it, but I don't think it's because they hate the topic and feel pressured into adressing it against their will (if that's what you meant).

>>2185929
I don't think that matters too much.

>>2185934

Oh It matters more than you think.

>>2185932
>>2185933
Why are you guys like this.
There probably is a male gay but that doesn't mean there won't be lesbians too.
Also no one will make neither dwarf nor gorilla gay.

>>2185939
It's better to be realistic about it.

>>2185933
That's precisely why it won't be him. No one would read a comic about him in that context. Gotta be someone people care about. Jack would garner some brownie points for being "progressive" that the "main character" is gay or Hanzo because it's pandering to the bara fandom and he wouldn't be obviously gay because his main schtick is his HONOR and regret.

>They probably would rather stop being asked about it, but I don't think it's because they hate the topic and feel pressured into adressing it against their will (if that's what you meant).
Gotta give probas to them to be able to deal with such an annoying fandom that doesn't get shit even after the third time you tell them.

>>2185939
>Why are you guys like this.
I'm expecting First Strike to drop the gay bomb one way or another and not a lot of chicks in that one.

>>2185938
If it was any other company, maybe.
If it was any other type of game (like, her being gay being referenced heavily in story), maybe.
But her or any other character having a huge blush about another female in some supplementary material comic panel or maybe even using the word "love" is something most people won't even care to see.
Speaking about her being the "face" of franchise, she sure hasn't been featured anywhere after Alive.

>>2185941
Realistic is fine, but you are being cynical about it. Realistically they will want to have at least one non stereotypical male and one female and maybe they will make a couple of other chars be like "I swing both ways" or "I don't see labels" or some shit. They won't make it a character no one cares about because they know it would be meaningless.

>>2185944
>Gotta give probas to them to be able to deal with such an annoying fandom that doesn't get shit even after the third time you tell them.

>>2185951
>swing both ways
That's actually what I feel they'll do instead of making someone just gay/lesbian. Its still an LGBT character after all.

>>2185955
I wouldn't mind it all that much but it would feel like a cop-out. And c'mon nobody takes bisexuals seriously so it won't solve anything. People will continue to beg for a gay character

>>2185956
Well or let me rephrase that. I feel they'll make a female character bisexual because that is the safest bet due to the gigantic amount of waifufags in the fandom and the outcry from there would probably be bigger than anything tumblr could create.

>>2185957
I want it to be a female character, as I enjoy /u/, but also because I want to witness the tears of someone who waifus them.

>>2185955
>>2185956
I wouldn't really mind that (though some purityfags would sure cry). Maybe they'll do something like 'the world 60 years in the future is more open about sexuality so people don't care that much about who they fuck" and just pull a Dragon Age 2

>>2185957
You are overestimating the power of waifufags a bit I think. I really don't think there are that many when it comes to this game (though obviously they exist)

I really want for Widowmaker to be shown gay after her brainwashing so that idiots can cry about a person being able to be brainwashed to be gay.

>>2185957
Widowmaker already comes off as bisexual. And she's french. No one would be surprised, all they'd have to do is confirm it or give her a line that alludes to "swinging both ways".

>>2185959
>I wouldn't really mind that (though some purityfags would sure cry). Maybe they'll do something like 'the world 60 years in the future is more open about sexuality so people don't care that much about who they fuck" and just pull a Dragon Age 2
This is pretty much why I'd wager they'd go more bi that pure gay. Lots of future settings in various PnP RPGs where they run with exactly that.

>You are overestimating the power of waifufags a bit I think. I really don't think there are that many when it comes to this game (though obviously they exist)
I'd also like not to underestimate them.

>>2185960
Probably not gay but at the moment I'd say she is the closest to being "an LGBT character" that we have.
She says shit like "We have to see other people" after eliminations and that applies to both male and female characters (they could easily code it so she only says it towards males but they didn't)
Her Mercy boost lines are the gayest shit currently in game
Also she flirts/messes with only female characters, on the other hand she doesn't have any even remotely flirty interaction with any male character.

>>2185676
I just want it to be over so we can move to another graphic novel that hopefully addresses present time which would hold infinitely more potential for lesbian shenanigans

>>2185968
I'd honestly put that more in the "sexy female antagonist" with a little French seasoning myself. Widow and Ana are currently the least likely to be hard gay to me, Widow had a husband and Ana had... something with whoever Fareeha's father turns out to be. Not saying Widow couldn't swing both ways, but I doubt Ana does. But those are just my opinions. If they wanted to go with a safe established character they'd probably pick Mei or maybe Tracer.

>>2186013
>Mei
A confirmed openly gay Chinese character? Yeah right.

>>2186014
Eh, I didn't consider that, you might have a point. I dunno how sensitive the Chinese are about anything besides spooky skeletons. I don't know if Pharah being gay would trigger Egypt, or if anyone would care if she did. Mercy I ruled out because Chu is running the show and won't let that happen. Symettra already has the high-functioning autism so I doubt it'd be her either. Zarya is too damn obvious honestly, they'd get heat about stereotypes.

Who does that leave, Tracer Widow and Sombra?

>>2186019
You forgot about Hana. But sadly it's obvious we can cross her off the list too.

>>2186019
Pharah would fluster arabs more than Egypt. Mei pissed off more chinese by being ethical chinese than actual chinese. Hana's possible but it'll be the reverse of what we'd do. Everyone would just ignore it since she's a slut.

>>2186028
>Everyone would just ignore it since she's a slut
nah they just need to give her a pairing so she looks committed to someone

>>2186028
>Mei pissed off more chinese by being ethical chinese than actual chinese.
Then they might just make her gay then, not like she'll be popular with the chinks either way.

Honestly the safest bet is Tracer, since the majority of people are shipping her with Widowmaker anyway so it wouldn't really be that much of a difference to the fandom.
Also [insert Simpsons joke about Brits being gay here]

>>2186037
But doesn't Tracer fall under the "lesbian stereotype" too? Not as much as Zarya, obviously, but still.

>>2186040
At a certain point there's no avoiding stereotyping in a game where every character is some kind of walking stereotype.
Pharah would be a stereotype because "hurr durr military chick must be a carpet muncher" for example.

>>2186040
Which stereotypes?

>>2186013

Mei already covers the fat demographic

>>2186045
Zarya comes off more as the stereotypical military lesbian if you wanna start splitting hairs, though Pharah falling under that stereotype would probably give her more character than she has now.

>>2186046
Androgynous lesbian.

>>2186051
Mei is not fat. When will this meme die?

>>2186046
Different anon, but I think he means the "butch" stereotype.
Zarya is pretty obvious while Tracer is a bit of a softer type, but still has short hair, ear piercings and no indication of any "girly" characteristics

>>2186055
Yeah, "butch" for Zarya but >>2186053 for Tracer

>>2186052
Zarya being in the military is actually second place to her being an athlete, so she's be the athletic /fit/ lesbian. Pharah on the other hand was full time military and is now PMC.

>>2185968
Gayest shit in the game is Tracer exlaiming "that felt good" after a Widow elimination.

waifufags love Mercy too much for Blizzard to make her gay. Its a shame.

>>2186063
No, it's not about waifufags when it comes to Mercy, M Chu is the problem

>>2186063
Doesn't help that at least one of the writers is clearly biased.
Though I don't care nearly enough about Mercy to be sad about that fact.

>>2185930
Mercy: Hana- are you gonna play with me today?

Hana: ...I'm Go 3.* you goddamn angel.

<In south korea, Go 3 means the third year of highschool curriculum. at the and of Go 3. every korean students were evaluated by the Korean sat. so Hana can't play with Mercy because she has to study.>

>>2185930
>>2185931
Is Mercy a literal angel or a ghost? Would love to see a story were Angela somehow attaches herself to Hana's spirit and eventually turn human and marry her.

>>2185910
It's probably Bastion

>>2186232
A companion ghost in the form of an angel, I'm guessing? I don't know. But it does sound like a pretty interesting idea for a fic. Something like the plot of "Forever Girls".

>>2186232
Koreans are not seriously drawing comics. We just like shipping.

>>2186013
>hard gay
Yeah but I never said she sounds hard gay, I think she is most likely to be bisexual going by everything she says. Even if the source of that is a trope of "sexy french antagonist" it doesn't change she keeps flirting with all the girls.
But I really do enjoy the contrast of her character in different shorts. Compare her behaviour in Inflitration and Alive. In Infiltration there's no teasy comments, no smug smirks she's just business and mission, in Alive once Tracer finds her she almost starts acting like she is just having fun. It's kinda cute.

>>2186014
>>2186019
>>2186028
You guys really put too much attention to that "Blizzard doesnt want to trigger X therefore Y is definitely not gay."
Remember when Ana wasnt a thing and people in here vehemently argued Blizzard would never put arabic speaking character in the game to not piss off racists? Well they did. Blizzard really doesn't care.

>>2186040
A bit, but not to such enormous extent as Zarya. With Tracer it's really just the hair.

>>2186234
Bastion is genderless.

>>2186063
I think that line is supposed to represent her joy at being a heroic person who fights off evildoers rather than any indication of sexual excitement.

>>2186340
Nah, that's her generic "You got what's coming to ya!" when she eliminates the likes of Roadhog or Reaper.

>>2186502
>please make it Mei, Meihem fags almost Pharmacy-cuck tier when it comes to being the fucking worst.
Genji shippers are THE worst by a mile

>>2186575
I ship Pharmercy and I can't really agree with that. Even on tumblr they are way more low key and rather keep to themselves while it's the Pharmercy crowd that feel the need to shitpost other tags all the time. I can only imagine that it's not that much different anywhere else, hence why I'm mostly keeping to myself in the fandom and only look stuff up here.

And I just know it will be them that will cry the loudest if it gets confirmed that either Phara or Mercy is straight.

>>2186605
Perhaps the same could be said of all ships.

>>2186607
Perhaps. But I think the two ships that have the "biggest ego" so to speak are Pharmercy and Widowtracer, the first because of the gigantic popularity the ship enjoys and the latter because it's THE very first Overwatch the fandom came up with.

>>2186605
Don't have much to say about Genjifags but the Meihem crowd is definitely the worst. Keeps shitting up the Widowtracer tag on regular basis.

96KB, 1130x864px

>>2186618
Meihem fans target it specifically because Widow and Tracer don't like each other very much in canon, just like Junkrat and Mei.

They genuinely believe that Meihem gets a lot of hate just because it's a straight pairing, and not because it's built in one of the shittiest tropes in history. That's why they go into the tag to compare the two and imply that Widowtracer is only popular because it's gay, when the two ships are built on way different mechanics.

>>2186625
Well I don't neccessarily agree, but it's not entirely untrue that being a gay ship definitely helps Widowtracer. I don't think you could really recreate their dynamic with a girl and a guy.

>>2186625
Eh, they have a point. Gay ships have it easier on tumblr. For example, I don't see people raiding Roadhog x Junkrat posts pointing out that Hog canonically dislikes Junkrat. Don't get me wrong, what they're doing is retarded and far beyond childish, but the complaint itself isn't entirely unreasonable.

>>2186625
There's some basis for it but they're going to a retarded extreme

>>2186629
>>2186631
>>2186634

>I don't think you could really recreate their dynamic with a girl and a guy.
You easily could. The "enemies to lovers" trope or "healing the bad guy with love" trope are one the oldest fucking tropes in the history of het romance especially targeted at young girls.

That said there is nothing aside of "vague animosity" that these two ships have in common. Junkrat isnt a cocky rival, there's no mutual teasing, no chemistry between them. Mei just tells him to fuck off.

Regardless the point is they are free to create whatever the fuck they want and if someone gives them shit then they can always block/discuss, coming randomly into other people's tags to act like you are opressed by evil gay overlords is fucking obnoxious.

>>2186625
I'm probably not going to like the answer but why is it called Meihem and not Meiham? Is Meiham the Mei x Roadhog ship or something?

>>2186736
Because Junkrat loves to cause mayhem so MEIhem get it? Now can we stop talking about it?

Any good widowtracer fic besides a few listed in OP? So far the really good ones I've run into:
1. Don't lose the score (series, glass mask is my favorite) by sniperct
2. Shadows of stars by sweetdivision
3. A mongrel, or a pug (lots of crack and lulz) by notantihero
4. Killjoy by (can't remember name of author)
5. London falling (can't remember)

Most others are meh.

Or is that only in the German dub?

>>2186830
She says "You have to let it go!" as a reference.

>>2186830
