80 USELESS OVERWATCH 2 FACTS | Niandra

[@petofiarkwright3236]

I've noticed Moira's recolors are basically named after alcoholic bevarages. She really has that Irish blood within her.

[@kaz51]

Oh damn that’s a funny little detail

[@xvxy4441]

0:25 that interaction is so cool :0 in mirrorwatch tracer killed ramattra instead of widow killing mondatta

[@tiannacowan6999]

that's so cool! i was wondering what the voice line referenced. they seem to have put more effort into mirrorwatch than the mythic mercy, but i still dig it.

[@crackedjabber]

Another useless but adorable fact, apparently Overwatch went to a fox sanctuary to record the sounds for Kiriko's ultimate. That sanctuary is called Save a Fox and they have a youtube channel full of just the most wholesome rescued foxes living their best lives.... also Minks! Anyway, always glad of a new Niandra video.

[@techietisdead]

I hear there was some controversy around them?

[@crackedjabber]

@techietisdead i tried to look it up, and what I saw looked more like people fishing for mountains in mole hills. The major complaints I.saw.were that she was a hoarder... I see no actual evidence of that in the videos, it's pretty hard to hide. And people upset that she is herself operating under a fur farm license. Okay, but she's not selling skins, so it's just a way to be licensed to have that many animals on site. So nothing I would personally worry about. Also, you can't google any creator + controversy and not get.some hits. So you have to actually dive in and see what the complaints are and assess them for yourself.

[@bradyonetta]

Echo doing impressions of the characters the copies + k1lls is so cute

[@SixNineFourTwenty]

she also has a mace to the face voiceline when killing brig with whip shot. and also some digs at solider and sojourn

[@jeremycaswell]

I like to imagine echo's copying ability is glitched, so she temporarily adopts the personalities of people she mimics as well, and has to catch herself so she doesn't act like them.

[@sasara_simp]

i don't think it's a glitch. she literally calls it "personality module"

[@allanlugo7842]

These for me are the most useful facts in the game, like the rare eliminations quotes, there is one really specific where rein needs to be eliminated by an enemy torb while having a torb in his team 😂

3:09 There is OW1 alpha clips where they showed a prototype of Hanamura as a payload map with a moving tower, however they got rid of that before deciding on the final CP map. Very strange that they would go back to making it a payload again.

0:15 some posters disappeared a while ago along with other map geometry, although the lighting wasn't updated. Like an important wooden outcrop halfway through Eichenwalde (that one should be back now). And there's still posters missing inside attacker spawn in for Route 66.

[@sirius1320]

4:15 you can actually see some lighting indicating bob shooting. If you destroy the tables/make the stuff on there fly away on havanna attack spawn on top and go into the hero select screen (fast), you'll see the things flying away. Also, you can see the sym shield on other maps if you put the shield at the correct location. So basically, the camera is placed in the map on a specific spot while hiding the players. (I think this is also the reason why most maps hero switch cameras on attack are in the attacker spawn room, so you don't get information on who the defenders are playing)

[@IFreakinLovePickless]

That's not Bob shooting, it's this alarm thing behind him

Looking at #75 now, I would genuinely love if if the devs stopped gutting Sombra’s identity and took her back to this stage. The biggest reason people dislike hack (aside from just having a skill issue) is that it can stack with other debuffs like discord, anti, etc. Maybe making people choose between hack + discord or hack + anti instead of having all three will get people to stop whining about too many debuffs

[@pupm]

Wow, this was very interesting. I even use the Funky skin as my main skin for Baptiste and yet never noticed the disco before. Also it was freaky seeing Wrecking Ball as DVa in the prototype version.

So at number 37 4:10 I found another funny thing with the screen, it weirded me out when I originally saw it, but you can select the mythic skin for moira, then look outside where the camera for the character select screen is and you'll see a poof of smoke there.

[@notmejustyou]

on the digital face of zens toybot christmas skin, the face changes depending on the emote you use, for example his dance and snowflake emotes have different faces to the default and it also changes with some victory posses. zen also shares a voice line with echo where zen says "do i think?, does a submarine swim" which echo has a reply voice line thats says "a submarine cant swim" which pairs nicely with his subaquatic skin because he's actually a submarine in that skin. its almost like echo is telling zen that us bots don't think.

What I loved about Reinhardts character the most is the main issue you end up having with them is the issue his character actually had in his animation. Rushing in alone and fighting by himself instead of using his HUGE SHIELD to protect the team. It makes me less upset at the players when I think about how its canon 😂😂😂

[@samwilliams6820]

It's my time to shine 5:55, that's a reference to admiral Yi's statue in Seoul where he's standing with that exact same pose (he's also famous for using dragon turtle ships)

[@FaeKitsune]

Doom has a highlight intro that (like Orisa) he no longer has the ability. It's his uppercut from when he was a DPS in og OW. I have it equipped specifically for that reason even though I suck with Doom and don't play him lol.

[@cedenoa001]

Omg! Junkrat sipping the Overwatch theme I did not see coming😂

[@bitnn4703]

Another thing about Wrecking Balls control panel: Whenever you get your ultimate ready, a small button will show itself next to the lever he holds. When ulting in Tank Form, he presses that button and it hides itself again. He also presses a button right next to the one I just mentioned whenever he uses his adaptive shields. And yet another thing, there's a small voice indicator right next to his lever that changes its wavelength whenever the robot talks. Its amazing how much detail they put into his control panel honestly

[@spyonmebaby]

4:15 i had this happen to me at the end of the round on circuit royal, i played down my barrier as winston on the cart, and as the game ended, showing the winning team, you could see the barrier's effects but not the actual barrier itself in the background.

[@kaz51]

0:50 as a bap main, that achievement is like the holy grail. Maybe once I broke 1000dmg amped in one matrix but it would take either the enemy team being paid off to let you get it OR the skills of a god

Watching this video filled me with an immense sense of pride, considering I have Bap's achievement. On the last day of OW1, I was in a lobby of players and we spent the whole time just goofing off, and helping each other get achievements. I remember that even with a Mercy-boosted turret-form Bastion, it took three separate windows for me to get that achievement. I wouldn't even think to consider how one might get that achievement legitimately. I still wear that achievement like a badge though.

Heres another one for you. Echo has 1 or 2 voice lines for specific abilities while she is coping a hero. In overwatch 1, these were 1 or 2 of the regular voicelines a hero would say when their ability is being used, but in echos voice. However with the release of overwatch 2, all ability voicelines were scrapped and rerecorded. However echo's ones weren't changed. This means for most overwatch 1 heros, echo technically has unique voicelines for their abilities. My personal favourite is "your strength fades" when echo uses biotic grasp on an enemy.

[@Doctor_Mortis]

the last one is like OH WHAT how didnt I notice that, I use that emote everyday XD
