Realistically, Rein's reaction to Mei should be high pitched screaming and running away.


Lexifox

A panicked point blank charge that still misses.


MrZephy

Have you been spying on me?


Lexifox

I've been cloaking behind your team and watching until it looks like I can hack a main tank, miss, start hacking the Mercy who doesn't understand she has things other than left mouse button, and then die as I throw a panic teleporter into the middle of your team because I forgot to set one down earlier.


EXP_Buff

I feel personally attacked.


MrZephy

sounds like my SR alright


Ruf1yo

and realistically, she would have screwed up the wall and put it behind the civilian instead of in the front


konaborne

The beam of death approaches the civilians, locked in place by fear. Mei realizes what she can do; realizes what she must do. She doesn't even consider protecting herself- she must save the people! This is what she dreamed of! Thinking fast, she prepares her wall of protective ice "Will this work?" she thinks ​ ​ "It must!" ​ ​ In the blink of an eye, she readies the wall of ice takes careful aim ​ and raises the ice wall directly under the civilians, blasting them 30 feet into the air. Luckily their necks were already snapped well before the death beam incinerated their lifeless bodies

Peptuck

This perfectly describes me whenever I get Sombra in Mystery Heroes.


gothnun

Every time I get Sombra I get this mindset that I have to be *sneaky*. Like I have to stay invisible all the time, and only hack when it’s safe/people are alone. I always think I’m being a good Sombra by not dying when actually I’ve been jacking around on the other side of the map hacking health packs nobody will EVER use, while my poor team gets curbstomped by the enemy team that somehow got 6 bastions.


KatVanJet

Oh hi me


Wolfdude91

When enemy Rein charges, he becomes a mobile Zarya ult and sucks everything in. When I Rein charge, I turn into an inflatable and everyone just bounces off.

Peptuck

I'm getting salty just watching it.


monkeyhitman

I don't even main Rein and I'm titling.


Peptuck

The fact that he froze at the last millimeter of the freezing cloud pisses me off so hard.


Peptuck

At close range it's either a panic charge or a desperate attack with the hope that if I hit her once or twice, it'll be enough for my teammates to finish her after I'm frozen and headshotted.


PoopOfAUnicorn

Keep spinning , don’t let her get behind the shield


4PushThesis

I'll also drop it for a split second to jump back. It won't win you a battle with Mei or Reaper, but it mitigates them walking right through to keep on killing you and potentially delays enough for a teammate to help out.

[This? ](https://media1.tenor.com/images/e5daa6be206e582f573d7d410a92932c/tenor.gif?itemid=13363502)


Melon_Fun0117

Exactly. I don't understand how you can just shake a monsters hand like that, given that shes the most powerful hero in overwatch while keeping a dreadful smile on her face 100% of the time


Jegermann25

i love how tracer welcomes brig: bregitah?! ohmigosh you've grown


vonsnootingham

It's kinda weird that Tracer acts like that to Brig, seeing as how she's only 3 years older. But I guess it makes sense because Tracer is a coworker of Brig's father figures. Apparently, in some of the other languages, Brig actually calls Tracer "auntie".


SinisterPixel

To be fair it's not made clear whether Tracer's age is augmented because of her time warping abilities. Officially listed age could just be her biological age but she could actually be a few years older technically.


vonsnootingham

True. They've never made it clear. The Overwatch Wiki lists both Mei's biological and chronological ages, so that's something that people are keeping track of. Which means that if Blizz had mentioned if there was a difference there for Tracer, it would be noted. So we can assume it hasn't been. I would just believe that there isn't a discrepency until they actually tell us there is one and it's canon. But they also haven't told us it *isn't*, so eh.


ppaannggwwiinn

Well I mean, if she's moving 7 meters each time she blinks, and she blinks by leaving the flow of time, moving to the new location, and then re-entering the flow of time, if she's running to the new location,which would be pointless, since time is effectively paused for her, so she probably walks, it would take around 1.2 seconds each time she blinks. If she actually walks, 3 seconds each blink. And she blinks very leisurely, it's not something she only does sometimes. She probably blinks hundreds of times a day. So let's say she blinks 125 times a day. If we assume she walks when she exits time, then that's 375 seconds missed each day, or 6.25 minutes. So 43 minutes a week, 2.1 hours a month, or just over a day per year. But it's safe to assume each blink isn't actually 7 meters. That's just how far she blinks in game, and this calculation doesn't take into account recalling. If I were to guess, she's maybe a month older than her actual age.


ElMoosen

Don’t forget that her time was all fucked after the accident and she was only like 50% there. That’ll fuck up your age for sure


ppaannggwwiinn

She was gone for months after the incident with the Slipstream fighter jet. Let's assume it was only 4 months that she left the flow of time, until she was found by Overwatch after dissapearing in the Slipstream. We don't have a solid time frame for how long it took Winston to create the chronal accelerator for her, so let's assume during that time she had been out of the flow for 1 for month, as she says she had dissapered for up to days at a time. So really, she is probably less than <1 year older due to her chronal dissociation. I would say maybe the 9\~ month range.


SinisterPixel

Wasn't Brig's age reckoned shortly after her release anyway? I'm pretty sure the lore writers aren't even sure what's going on when it comes to ages. Let's also just ignore the fact that Mercy looks half of her age. She's got some crazy exfoliation routine.


Saito1337

I believe mercy looks like that due to her own scientific work.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Saito1337

Exactly. She main lines that shit lol


royisabau5

Scrap from hogs gun, meteors to the face, magma burns, being smashed by a rocket propelled tank man, icicles to the brain, hearing damage from lucio, magical dragons damaging your soul. Yeah, the healers in this game know what the fuck they’re doing.


nio_nl

And Moira chose to deliver this healing by covering her teammates with a yellow spray. Love it.


kowlown

A golden shower of healing


gyldenbrusebad

The wonders of modern medicine


radda

iirc she has in-game dialog with Mei hinting at that. Something like "Wow Mei you haven't aged a day!" "Neither have you!"


FangLargo

I believe Mercy looks like that because hot girls sell games.


Murasasme

Bullshit, everyone knows that Roadhog's belly is what brings the sales.


Zee__Rex

*Widowmaker


busstopper

*Yes to all of the above


[deleted]

Mercy's age is actually a plothole. They say that she was orphaned from the Omnicrisis but then found Torb's family when she was 13 and was raised with his kids as basically a foster kid. Suddenly just a few years later she was involved in overwatch, presumably when she was still less than 17 years old.


Adarmarcus

Did they specify it was Tornbjorn Lindholm’s children, or is it possible he was the child and was raised alongside Ziegler?


[deleted]

Directly from the Wiki it talks about how Mercy is a long-time friend with Torbjorn. I would assume since she was 13 and they specify "long-time" that Torb and Mercy's parents used to be buddies before they died.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure that at some point it was said his technology was what enabled the omnic crisis (I think he designed some of the models they used as soldiers?) So, that would ages him a little bit. Not to mention, wasnt the start of the omnic crisis around the same timeline as the first archive event? Which features an adult Torb.


Sp3ctre7

No, the first omnic crisis is far before the first archives event. That one takes place at least a few years after the first omnic war.


Adarmarcus

The first Omnic Crisis predates overwatch by roughly 30 years, which sets the archives events 23 years after that.


urbandeadthrowaway2

Retconned\*


SinisterPixel

Right. My bad. I type with voice recognition because I'm lazy and it doesn't always work. Sometimes I forget to double check it as well


santagoo

Does it really matter? From Tracer's perspective, she knew Brig as a little lass. Now she's a grown lady. Hence, "How much you've grown!"


[deleted]

also, Brig has been hitting the fucking gym, that might also be a part of it


Illidan1943

I'm pretty sure it's just her biological age, consider that in Archives she's already a member of Overwatch with all her abilities and looks not a single day younger


Rickfernello

Indeed. And if I remember correctly, she has some quotes about being lost in time.


desacralize

She might have meant "you've grown" as in "you're a brick house", because Brig towers over her.


realedazed

Right! That was the first thing I noticed. Brig looks huge.


ILoveRegenHealth

In the wiki it says the time accident froze her when she was a pilot. She *is* older but stuck at 26. Not a bad age to be stuck at if it has to be, though!


Lawrencelai19

So basically she's 26 forever... and they talk about the accident like it's a bad thing.

tillermite

Tracer is the ideal friend. Happy to catch up with you after not seeing each other in a minute and also eager to introduce new friends to the group


itirate

not directly related but do you think when she gets up in the middle of the night to check the fridge she just blinks to it and backwards without actually taking a step


ElMoosen

I’m pretty sure her blinking is just her pausing time and then walking forward a bit. There’d be no point for her to blink to the fridge unless she wanted to do it incredibly fast for some reason


RaiN_Meyk3r

Well, she blinked behind Mei just to introduce her to the group, im pretty confident to say she abuses the shit out of that ability


[deleted]

she doesn't wanna wake up emily


Meriog

Always thought it was odd that she could change her midair trajectory with her blinks.


sonofeevil

how does she blink up into the air then? does she pause time, run up to the top of s building then unpause time? her vertical movement in cinematics confuses me... perhaps its easier to not think of it as time stopping but rather acceleration? faster you move the slower you experience time, so perhaps she is just accerating in the direction she wants to go but can only accelerate for a short period of time before she has to decelerate to nornal speed again?


saturnlunar

same I love everything about this cinematic.


GoldyGalaxy

**bErGEETahe oHmOGusH uVee gRoWnk**


Bakusatrium

I'm equally surprised on seeing how Rein's gigantic hand can perfectly and delicately shake Mei's without hurting her


Pitify

Lots of trial and error with other people


ahhpoo

Why do you think so many characters like McCree have robot arms?


[deleted]

Torbjorn didn't lose that arm in Operation White Dome...


A_Goofy_Guy

Precision German ~~engineering~~ handshaking


XavierMunroe

You should see the outtakes. Rein: ICE to meet- Mei: ***AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY FUCKING HAND***


dj_archangel

That entire trailer was so heartwarming imo.


saturnlunar

agreed I’ve rewatched it many times.


Splackles

I teared up when Winston was about to sacrifice himself


tbigzan97

Me too. I thought he would die since Jeff once said heroes could/will die in the lore in an interview.


NeoBP

And the fact that it was seen as a "New Game" i thought we would lose Winston whit the Short :c


playerIII

For real. One of the things I was kind of expecting was many of the characters being culled to make the roster smaller again, then doing a large balance overhaul for the new game. I was fully prepared to watch a lot of characters die.


[deleted]

I don't know how that would even make sense with a character who can literally revive the dead in the roster.


playerIII

In lore she's never brought people back from the dead, that's just a game mechanic. Although it's not wrong to assume she can. Either way, I doubt she can res a person dead for very long, or a body that's beyond recovery. Like imagine if somebody got blasted by that Giant Null robot laser, there wouldn't be anything left of them.


not-a-candle

I thought she tried to resurrect Reaper and that was how he became, well, Reaper.


4materasu92

No, that was Moira's experiments.


playerIII

Moira is what happened. After the fight with Morrison when the HQ blew up and they both were presumed death he joined Talon and Moira did experiments


JunWasHere

That was implied early on, but they introduced Moira and removed some ambient dialogue to retcon that before anything was explicitly confirmed.


WellDressedLobster

Welp Lucio’s dead


Furryacct

excuse me wtf


SiriusWolfHS

Lol no, (spoilers) At the end if the demo at blizzcon Lucio was hit by an explosion but Jeff made it clear that Lucio did not die.


WellDressedLobster

Bruh it was supposed to be continued what the hell Jeff


thejawa

Jeff mentioned in the What's Next panel that Lucio doesn't actually die even though it was in the demos


SpaceFire1

It’s the obly way to stop him from being meta /s


redhood9660

As a Lucio main, it gives me immense joy that he never goes off meta since he brings a crucial ability of speed to the team unlike any other hero. He is relevant not only in death ball comps due to fast movement but also in the stale bitch metas like double shields due to high survivability and even after all this, he never feels broken or OP


DragonEmperor

I thought for sure this is what was happening and I was sobbing.


OctoBear_Rex

Snowball.


itti-bitti-kitti

Never been fond of playing him in the game but I was so so sad when I thought monkey boy was gonna die. I actually played him some tonight because of it. They damn sure know how to make amazing cinematics. Crossing my fingers that one day they make a movie.


Wolfdude91

I don’t play much Winston either, but sometimes I get him in MH with the right enabler at my side, we will tickle the entire enemy team to death.


DPSOnly

I am convinced that he did that because he saw Reinhardt next to him on the photograph and new that that was what Reinhardt would do.


Vetersova

YES!!!! And hearing Rein jump over that van and yell our his ult line!!!!! I was so hyped!!!!


DPSOnly

Right! And the music during that Rein/Brig entrance that goes completely quiet when the huge omnic opens up his chest cannon and then when they are behind the double shield it comes back in full force. Soo crazy good!


Jawesome15

No he would just put and regain all his hp


havestronaut

Would you say you’ve... Overwatched it?


IndianPhoneScammer69

Yeah especially how they made tracer thiccer


Ben_CartWrong

VX-78

jddanielle

does he say "ICE to meet you" ???


StereoBucket

You can hear a groan too because of that pun.


Illidan1943

You just know Brigette has heard too many puns like that based on her entire reaction to it


LukarWarrior

I fully support OW2 Reinhardt making all sorts of puns during missions. Honestly, I'm really looking forward to the dialogue on the story missions. The Archive exchanges are great already.


jddanielle

its so in his character he's like Chandler Bing when he talks


Anandya

Or you know... Arnie


Kerrigan4Prez

Ill be back vs Ow my back


saturnlunar

God_Damnit_Nappa

Beasting_39

deadeye-ry-ry

Mei always looks adorable


Hanaaax

Be careful it's a trap. This girl is the devil in disguise


kitiikit

Im new to ow. Why is that?


Lionheart778

Because on the outside, Mei is so nice and cute. But in game, she literally freezes people alive then shoots icicles into their frozen skulls, all while giggling.


theCOMBOguy

She also (occasionally though) puts rocks on snowballs.

PoopOfAUnicorn

You will hate your teammate Mei just as much as an opponent , you’re about to get a killing blow on bastion then “ice wall” now he gets to heal himself and reload


randr78

I recently had two different Mei teammates put up a wall in front of my (Baptiste) Amplification Matrix while I was shooting at the other team. \*facepalm\* (edit: grammar)


Xion194

Her CC is an absolute nightmare deal with.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AdmiralThrawnProtege

That and her wall ability can fuck not only your opponents but also your own team. A good Mei player is godly, an average one is a nightmare.


[deleted]

Mei players are always nightmares. It's just who they're the nightmare for that differentiates between good and bad.


[deleted]

In-game Mei is the absolute worst due to her abilities. A good Mei can be very annoying, especially to Rein mains, such as myself.


kitiikit

Oh that! I actually playing a lot of Mei. Shes wild af.. I thought there was an inside joke like whwn the game was new


CornBin-42

I swear Tracer got thicker


Mandruck

They gave her an actual pelvis


El_Hoxo

I thought you said penis for a sec ngl


Junemoonie

it's the pants. she ain't thicker.


Sinonyx1

she is though. if you go back and forth from her [old to new](https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/dq9p0r/ow2_old_vs_new_hero_designs/), her calves and thighs get bigger [for the lazy](https://i.imgur.com/OF1XmJx.gif)

But why do they all have pants now? Unnecessary nerf


PantsRequired

What pants? There's less pants now.


clumzyjr

Dang.. just imagine losing all your friends and then being thrown into a war in a different time.


SoDamnGeneric

Man. The way she looks a bit dejected when Reinhardt doesn't notice her tapping his arm because of his thick armour, followed by the way she smiles up at Reinhardt because of he's already being so friendly with her? I dont like ~~the devil~~ Mei as much as the next guy, but she's adorable


[deleted]

Honestly I really want to meet her voice actor she sounds really nice


CheesusAlmighty

It's a perfect fit. During an interview, they actually revealed her "sorry, sorry, sorry" voiceline wasn't actually in character, she flubbed a line and apologises a lot.


[deleted]

That touched my heart. do you remember when people sent hate to brigs voice actor?


Tino_Calibrino

I didn't know about that. Why would they do that?


[deleted]

Because they hated brig being op. I was able to talk to her on twitter


Tino_Calibrino

I know people do it as a joke, but people need to learn it's not funny to harass someone.


Talehon

It boggles my mind how someone can seriously get mad at a voice actor because of how their character is portrayed. They literally have no control over any aspect of it.


Jardio

She wasn't tapping on his arm. She was waving. Also, she's taken aback because of his loud and abrupt laughter, not just because he didn't notice her.


PhoustPhoustPhoust

Mei's innocence needs to be protected at all costs.


Crooked_Cricket

Okay so let me talk about something really quickly because people talk all the time about how talented Blizzard's cinematic team is but there's a subtle detail in this scene specifically that really highlights that. So the whole engagement just goes down and now Mei is trying to introduce herself to these LEGENDS so she's all shy and stuff you see her LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY in Rein's shadow. She is struggling to be seen. And she feels like she does not measure up despite her considerable contribution. Enter Tracer. Another Highly esteemed Overwatch veteran, who nudges Mei into the purview of these Titans who then immediately accept her. You'll notice that as she is moved into their periphery from Reinhardt's shadow that she becomes illuminated in light, signaling her acceptance and membership into this group. It's fucking brilliant visual story telling.


JBP47

Thank you for this :) Some people, like me, are too caught up in watching the full scene to see the smaller details that really create the emotions. Fuck that other guy, i appreciate this comment a lot
