(Gravelly voice) "C'mere and drink your juice box."[DOUBLEPOST=1468442065,1468441725][/DOUBLEPOST]The things pointed to are S76's pregame banter with Pharah that goes "Your mother would be proud of you" and how Ana has a voice line about the enemy being "in my sight" similar to S76's ultimate "I've got you in my sights" line.
Every single member of Overwatch (Even Reaper) has that same line combo when teamed with Pharah.
Also Widowmaker has a "I have you in my sights" voice line, are we going to call her S76s niece?

Of course not, she's the same age
(winter soldier origin story and all that). Cousin maybe?

CONFIRMED
What? It's implied Soldier76 and Ana are around the same age (so around 60), Widowmaker is only 33.Of course not, she's the same age

Then how old was she when she was abducted by Talon, reprogrammed, rescued by overwatch, and then assassinated Gerard? A teenager?
Maybe I just don't have the timeline right. I was under the impression that Overwatch had been shut down for quite a while, at least a decade.
Also, Reinhardt is up there, and Torbjorn, and I thought Mercy was also Oldschool OW but I guess it says she's only 37, too, and the omnic crisis was, what, 30 years ago?
Does that mean Gerard was a cradlerobber?
The Omnic Crisis happened 30 years ago or so, which is when Overwatch was created. Overwatch maintained peace for twenty years until the explosion of the Swedish HQ occured and Overwatch was disbanded. Present Day is ten years after that. At some point during that peaceful 20 years, Talon came to exist and the events with Widowmaker happened. She likely married Gerard while she was 19-21, and soon after her abduction happened.
Torbjorn and Reinhardt are also up there in age, Torb being 57 and Reinhardt being 61. Mercy and McCree were both young when they joined up and did so after Overwatch was already established for awhile, so they were not "founders".

That's out of sequence, from what I've read in the wikis. Amelie was kidnapped and reprogrammed by Talon, then allowed to be recovered "by Overwatch" (of whom Gerard was head), and then she assassinated Gerard - all before Overwatch was disbanded.
Which is what I said...

Hrm, I guess I didn't understand you correctly, I thought you were saying Widowmaker happened after the explosion/disbandment.
"During that peaceful 20 years"
The disbandment has only lasted 10 years before Recall and has not been that peaceful.

So, Amelie was kidnapped, brainwashed, rescued, assassinated her husband, recovered by talon, Transformed into Widowmaker, then had a sniper duel with Ana that led to Ana's apparent death all sometime in excess of 10 years prior to game-current-day. I suppose it's conceivable that all happened between 20-22 years of age, but again, dang... Gerard must have liked 'em young, as I said.
I love his ult. I laugh almost every time I use it. I'm jonesing bad for some video game time.

I love using him on Lijiang and Ilios so I can blow people off cliffs with it. It's never not funny.
Aren't you vacationing at the most magical place on Earth
He's getting brain surgery?
I listened to all of Ana's pre-game dialog, and all her dialog with Soldier is pretty professional "We are soldiers we don't retire" stuff.
Funny enough, her and Reinhardt seem the most flirty.

How can anyone resist precision German engineering?
Hanzo's hitbox is getting a noticeable horizontal nerf, but it's probably a good thing. Maybe get less insta-lock Hanzos in general now that they actually have to aim.
[DOUBLEPOST=1468481655,1468481543][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and apparently self-heal abilities will now add Ult charge, so the nerf to Roadhog/76's charge rate shouldn't be quite as bad as initially thought.

Bout frickin time. I'll never be able to play Hanzo again, but I'll gladly take it.
Yeah, it's not the ult charge time that rustles my jimmies, it's the spread nerf.
I am. It's fun but 1000% humidity. I don't understand how people can live here.
