    Just a few notes! Firstly, yes there are characters not included in this video such as Symmetra, Lucio, Junkrat & Sigma. I wanted to keep this video very digestable and concise so I left them out as they are not very key to Overwatch's story right now! But they all look like they could be in the future! Symmetra recently made friends with Zen & is keen on helping the Shambali Omnics, Lucio & Junkrat might well end up joining Overwatch and Sigma will be a weapon that Talon will seek to unleash in the near future... though he's struck up an unlikely friendship with Sombra who seems to want him to veer away from Talon... so let's see what happens!

      Enjoyed the video a lot ;D Good to see and everything ^^ Was happy :3
      Only thing is... It didnt get that well received... I may just still try to play the second one. But overall, guess they still got a Long way to go. And the PvE story mode was then just scheduled to next year instead.
      All in all. Good video and I enjoyed it ^^

And now, overwatch is back, and with it being back, some of the ppl that left are coming back, but overwatch still has everything to prove to the world.

      I had the same thought. An organization comes onto the scene and is widely beloved for the good work that they do. But the acts of a few bad people show that the sterling reputation is not as flawless as some may think. The world turns against them but they have to pull through it to do good once again and be heroes they intended to be in the first place.

      This is just a guess, but given their antagonistic relationship with the Junker Queen, I'm guessing Junker Queen leads Junker Town into some kind of alliance with Talon and Overwatch recruit Junkrat (and maybe Roadhog, too?) to be their inside men/guides through Junker Town. Originally, I thought Junker Queen was gonna be the one to side with Overwatch, but it's seeming lie the opposite.

      The only thing about League lore that's good is the comics (Such as Zed, Shen and Jhin), The Backstories (Zed and Shen, Annie, etc.), and finally the Arcane series.
      Yes, they are amazing, however the whole lore of league of legends is not in sync at all with each other. Simply put they've not done any setup, just "we have a world, on one side we have bard, on the other we have ryze collecting runes, demacia vs chainboi, etc."
      YES, their lore is AMAZING, however it's not a good in-sync story. Their focus is not mainly on lore which is why this happens.

      Thank you! Yeah they're unfortunately quite peripheral to the story (at the moment) so I left them out at this time. But Symmetra recently made friends with Zen and Lucio is likely to join Overwatch so expect more from them in the coming future!

    Blizzards just doesn't make a story mode for the game
    Cancels the PvE and does pretty much nothing having to instead go to comics or other media instead of the main game 😭

But I have always loved the characters and the story and I recognised the impact of it all on gaming. Now I have gotten into overwatch with ow2 and this video reminded me of everything before.

  • @frosty8592

    there's one thing that is bugging me here, you say MEKA and the attack on Korea from Ghwishin was 20 years before Recall and how Dva was apart of it but then at 22:58 you say Dva help fend them off once more
    But Dva is 19 after "Recall" make it absolutely impossible for her to be there at the first attack from Ghwishin

    • @rakoonshampoo2608
      @rakoonshampoo2608 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think it’s just weird formatting I don’t think he was implying DVA was around back then. SVB kept using terms like “in time they would” or “they would go on to” when referring to DVA earlier in the video so I think that part wasn’t necessarily going in chronological order.

    • @MexicanRmz
      @MexicanRmz ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tha dates, time and ages are all messed up in the OW lore and all its forms of media, comics, the games, the video shorts etc...
      The best we can get is tying up the pieces the best you can, just like this video does, and ignore dates and characters aging not matching up.

    • @aghostspider4659
      @aghostspider4659 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is possible they won not by defeating the colossus but by dwindling the forces until it was weak. Leading to MEKA development, it would take time to build those suits, train pilots who end up dying faster than training could respond so they looked at youth which has high hand and eye coordination, and quicker mental response times than battle dulled soldiers. They held a competition and rewarded the best gamers in a tournament to become MEKA pilots which her fellow gamers made it to the top. This would happen I believe at 16 they expanded on somewhere I read once before. This means at Recall she has only been fighting for around 3 years. It is possible that MEKA was actually developed by the Omnics that was bought by the company Sombra exposes to gain a powerful ally. Giving her statement in game-
      "I saw your stream last night, you are not bad at those games"
      "I will beat you even with your hacks!"
      "Aw, I will be sad when we take you down"
