It's been a LONG time coming but I'm back with another Overwatch reaction! This time its the Origin stories! I have a TON to say and the reactions this time around are wooooo! Some of the best stuff Overwatch has put out is included so buckle up and subscribe if you want more videos like this one 🙏

[@xleplayVA]

i found it kind of funny that you described/thought moira was the strongest healer, considering she is one of if not the weakest healer in high ranks due to her lack of utility. Compared to ana, kiriko, lucio, mercy, even brig, she is extremely weak. Yes she has heals, but thats the problem. That's all moira has.

[@mzej1444]

If you thought Sigma’s story was peak it’s even better when you know it has hidden messages. I recommend watching it the next OW video.

[@KingdomAce]

Which one is that? And is there a playlist of OW cinematics you think I should see? (Ones I haven't seen already lol)

[@mzej1444]

Look up “SIGMA HIDDEN MESSAGES” video has almost 500k views, and take a look at the comments for time stamps. Along side this watch the Sojourn Cinematic “Calling” and the 3 parter anime series “GENESIS”

[@Rezlusiowa]

​​@@KingdomAcehe meant that sig's origin story video has hidden messages as a reverse-voice recorded lines. Reverse his origin story and play it. Optionally maybe it's uploaded to yt by someone else already as a reversed vid.

[@sachiellovesyou]

the that fact sigma is technically the only character who could be classified as a literal god is horrifying.

[@KingdomAce]

Another reason his cinematic is still even now the BEST so far!

[@TheFreestyleStorm]

it's crazy the amount of power he possesses. His lore is so fucking cool.

[@plasma8602]

32:54 Fun fact, the shooting/other noises are Moira and Reaper breaking into the facility to kidnap Sigma so they can use him as a weapon

[@wingedbluj1674]

And according to the Reaper short story, Sombra was there too.

[@daikov1bes448]

The ones you can hear are Reaper (the shots that are in bursts of a few at a time) and Widowmaker (louder, big shots, only heard once in the middle of it), and random other gunfire. Such excellent environmental storytelling for those that were intimately familiar with the game and can recognize the shots.

[@tau-5794]

You can also hear a sort of bzzzz sound, which sounds like Sombra's submachine gun, and we know that she was also on that mission.

[@lincelink]

@@wingedbluj1674 I'm not sure if it's canon, but I think Sombra protects Sigma from the rest of Talon, as she know he is just a victim and he's being used. I hope some day we get a video or whatever of Sombra finally going out of Talon with her new old grandpa

[@Kellobytes]

Also Sigma isn't evil or bad. What he is, is that he is being manipulated by the evil people. He is clinically insane so he doesn't fully understand what hes doing. And in the Overwatch 2 In-game voicelines, you can hear that all the Talon Members (Reaper, Moira, Doomfist, etc). Are just trying to please him. They are the ones that freed him from prison. And are just trying to be on his good side. Completely manipulating him. The only person that has compassion to Sigmas situation is Sombra. Sombra is a master manipulator too. She can easily see whats happening with Sigma. So with her interactions with Sigma. Sombra kind of acts like a Big Sister/Motherly Role to Sigma. She doesn't want him to be mistreated. She has his back. But of course staying silent that he is being completely used. In Sigmas view, these people rescued him, they are sponsoring his research, and are overall very friendly with him (which is most seen with Moiras and Sigmas interactions where Moiras just being nice because he is so important to their evil organization Talon). When speaking to Overwatch characters, Sigma can't believe that the people that freed him from jail are evil. He won't accept that because of the hospitality that was shown and continue to be shown to him

[@KingdomAce]

This makes it even sadder than I realized :/ thanks for the (not so) fun fact 😅

[@CT--tm2zm]

What I see a lot of people not realize with the baptiste one is that when we see the kid at first, he’s telling the story and we assume it’s him, and then when it pans out when he’s talking about the devil and doing what you had to do, we realize that he was the soldier in that scene, making him into the destroyer of families, thus making him “become good” in a way and I just love that switch up

[@caldeira_a]

in the first one it is him, you're talking about 2 different kids in the same scenario. First one is bap as a child looking at a bastion unit (you can even recognise the gun), the second one is another child looking at bap

[@hugo-zi6gm]

Cool to see more people discovering the Overwatch lore. There's a lot that the cinematics and origin stories don't cover but they're all brilliant!

[@Zebrix10]

Shimada/kiriko lore is deep (and have strange thing with emm age xd)

[@KingdomAce]

I'm having so much fun learning 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Jacontoman]

The reason why Ana hesitated when seeing widowmaker is because widow is the wife a different overwatch agent (he isn’t really a part of the game). One night, the wife was kidnapped and brain washed to be a sleeper agent of sorts, slowing her heart down to be nothing more than an actual cold blooded, no emotion killer used against overwatch. So when Ana saw her once again, she was shook, but that short window was enough for widow to take the shot against Ana

[@ashonline77]

I agree Sigma origin story is PEAK overwatch origin story. Doomfist and Ramattra ones are second cant choose between them.

[@KingdomAce]

I'm STILL shook by how great the Sigma one was. Legit might be my fav character story in general now

[@Rezlusiowa]

​@@KingdomAcefun fact: back in 2019 after Baptiste released, mauga was in his short story. Devs had their eyes on bringing mauga to the game after bap, but Devs felt like abilities of a new tank don't really fit mauga's personality, so they postponed mauga and made sig in a rush. Sig's origin video consists only of 3 images if I'm not mistaken.

[@finn9898]

The cinematics from the pve paid modes are worth watching, especially Ironclad where you see more of ramattra and zenyatta

[@KingdomAce]

Ooooo that sounds great! I wish there were comprehensive playlists for them so it'd be easier to react to them correctly

The creators of the robots like echo or orisa might seem interesting since they are involved in the origin story, but they basically have the same role as parents and normally people might find them interesting, but wouldn’t want them to be playable over the actual characters with powers except for pharahs mother of course.

Quick Fact: 10:35 That Overwatch mission happend in Poland and in the same country Ana was in the hospital. She was hiding there under the name Janina Kowalska.

[@sniclops15]

10:20 Leftmost person we still don't know Going from left to right: Gabriel Reyes / Reaper, Ana, Pharah, Jack / Soldier 76, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, Angela / Mercy, Cole Cassidy And far right is Sojourn 21:30 This is Blackwatch, Overwatch's former secret service and spec ops team. The team consisted of Moira, Gabriel, Genji, and McCree/Cassidy (whole other story). There was another event similar to the King's Row Null sector attack where you play as the group after Gabriel wrongfully kills someone they were supposed to bring in for interrogation / imprisonment. It was ultimately what set in motion the "Attack from inside" that Jack was talking about. Genji and McCree both left Blackwatch shortly after, and Blackwatch eventually joined in the formation of Talon. 33:00 Sigma's exposure to a black hole left him mentally unstable. Talon has essentially used that to their advantage, manipulating him into believing they're the good guys. There's a common theory that the melody is a sorta sleeper trigger that causes Sigma to go into a phychotic episode, since you hear it when he ults. At all other times, he is well mannered and probably the friendliest member of Talon.

[@OmgitsPebbles]

the remaining cinematic trailers and the hero gameplay trailers would be a great combo 😌 great reaction

10:19 bottom left: genji im p sure right: mercy, cass, sojourn

[@ItsWatermellow]

It’s not really explained in these videos but the reason people were against Overwatch wasn’t just threats popping up that they couldn’t stop, but that their covert ops team Blackwatch (which was made up of Reaper, Cassidy, Moira and Genji) was made known to the public, it was a huge controversy since they were in violation of some international laws, and some missions had gone horribly wrong. They also operated in kings row even though they had been barred from doing so. All of that building up and the fight between soldier and reaper where they were both supposedly killed is why the Petras act was signed, which made Overwatch activity illegal

[@mr.stomatopoda]

[@ElixoYT]

You should watch Overwatch Genesis. Its an "anime" short split into 3 parts that add up to around 20mins. Explains Ramattra origins, Echo's creator origins and origin of omnics.

[@Zero-fx8pc]

12:05 from what I remember Ana faked her own death and kept fighting at a low profile, Soldier and Reaper know she is alive but idk if Pharah does which I why I think she told her that she hopes she would understand one day. Also Brigitte is Torbjorn daughter and Reinhardt goddaughter they are the ones with her on 22:40 (alongside Torb wife).

[@vic2006]

Sigma's the most tragic character of Overwatch. Even when you have orphan children by the war like Baptiste and Sombra, or mind controled puppets like Widowmaker and Reaper, the ones that hit harder are the ones that are being told to be doing right and getting helped on their situations, when in reality it's the exact opposite (in that spectrum I'm also including Symettra, as she doesn't get that the company she works on is doing bad things at the name of changing the world, but one thing is not realising because you have autism, and another thing is not realising because your mind got fragmented upon looking inside a black hole). Sigma works for Talon with the promise that they will help him control his powers, without realising they are using his studies, research and abilities for evil purposes (remember that Sigma is not evil, at least the principal personality of the doctor actually wants to help the world). Even when they mistreat him (seriously, the dialogues he has in the game with Moira hit hard af, even if he doesn't get them), he always has his mind in another place, like disociating and shit, so he doesn't know how careless they are about him. The only real piece of nice he gets in his life is by Sombra, who's the only one that doesn't like how they manipulate this man and tries to help him all she can. Hearing them interact is like watching a niece take care of his gradnpa with dementia, and it's so wholesome.

[@cajunking5987]

58:00 Yeah it’s only for newly released heroes

[@eawhite782]

Just so you know, they're called Supports in Overwatch, because they all do more than just heal. Here's some info to help provide background or answer questions you had. Ana hesitated on shooting Widowmaker because Widow was the wife of an Overwatch agent who was kidnapped and brainwashed into becoming an assassin/sniper, who killed her own husband. Moira joined Blackwatch, which was the BlackOps parts of Overwatch, lead by Reaper, and then later joined Talon once Overwatch was fully disbanded. Brigitte is Torbjörn's daughter and Reinhardt's squire (he's also her godfather). Wrecking Ball (Hammond) indeed landed in Australia and became the reigning champion of the Scrapyard in Junkertown. He's also Junkerqueen's bodyguard and she's the only one in town who knows that Wrecking Ball is a hamster. He was good friends with Winston but is mad at him because WInston left the Moon Colony without him. In Ashe's Origin Story, you said they seem like they're really far back in the past, it's probably because of the whole cowboy aesthetic they have. Sigma just had his mind splintered from the failed experiment, but it gave him his powers over gravity. If you want to learn more about the doctor from Echo's Origin Story, Dr. Mina Liao, watch the Overwatch Genesis mini-series, it covers the origin of the Omnic Crisis and Overwatch. Regarding the timeline questions you had in the Sojourn Origin Story, the Omnic Crisis started in 2044, it ended in 2050. OW is disbanded in 2071. OW1 started around 2076. Kiriko's mother also trained Genji and Hanzo and there's a voiceline in the game where Doomfist asks Genji where he learned swordsmanship and he responded saying from the best Swordmaster in the world, and Doomfist goes, "Ah...her." So she's so good that even Doomfist knows her, whether by reputation or from an encounter, we don't know yet. Ramattra is just the leader of Null Sector, which is an Omnic extremist group. Also, not all Null Sector forces are Omnics, most are just drones. Like he said in the video, Omnics are just a single generation of sentient robots. They can't reproduce. It was a one-time miracle that created them. The Overwatch Genesis series covers it. It's short but good. Symmetra is who you were thinking about in the Lifeweaver Origin Story. They went to school together at the Vishkar Academy and were roommates and good friends and both use hard-light technology. There's also short stories and comics on the Overwatch site (go to Game Info then Media to find them) you can read for more lore and they also sell novels as well. Great reactions!

Right woman is Sojourn

[@davidc.]

Moira is not the best healer. She is actually arguably the worst one. She's not a bad character sense all supports are really good. Her value just isn't as good as others. Only reason to go her is if you keep dying and can't get anything going with the better healers

[@AJ2DAGAMES]

she can easily rack up the best numbers. she doesn't have much utility is the glaring issue. other supports can do a lot more: Lucio can speed boost and his Ult, Brig can defend super well, Ana's abilities are all amazing, Kiriko has Suzu and Kitsune Rush, Bap has Immortality Field. Moira can literally only heal or damage. there's literally nothing else she can do. which upsets me, I hope they give her a small rework or just a new ability. maybe bring back Enfeeble Orb with some good changes, idk

[@KingdomAce]

Hmm okay, thanks for the clarification!

[@davidc.]

​@AJ2DAGAMES Yep, and her damage isn't nearly as consistent as the likes of Bap, illari, and kirko. Each of those, especially the first 2, can keep up with heals, get good picks alone consistently, and bring a high level of utility. The only time I'd ever say to go her is if you can't play the others well or if you keep dying easily sense she has really good survivability. But that shouldn't really happen sense most support have insane sustain and can beat most dps 1 on 1 (if they have there cooldowns)

[@spyro257]

@@davidc. Moira can be a very good healer, just depends on the enemy setup... Genji, Tracer, Sombra, and the like, can take care of a Moira easy, just have to wait for her using her orb and movement, or force it out of her, and she will be a sitting duck... people tend to stay away from Moira, if she got the drop on them, or catches them on low HP... i'm a decent Moira player, her utility sux ASS, but can easy outheal anyone, but as i said, play into 2 heroes that can get around fast, or just one GOOD one, and she's done, unless ofc she has a good backing team, that will save their healers... her big thing, is that she can run almost anyone down, to finish them off...
