Cutting of biographies on the OW2 website

They just updated the official website … and cut out tons of bio details! Full names, ages, backstories that contextualized the world of Overwatch and the origins of the characters … they only left links to the origins of some heroes, and not even links to any main links in which the characters are involved more often (like ana in two comics and a short story).

Really very disappointing for the Overwatch lore section. OW2 is supposed to be a buff at sorting out the lore, not cutting it in the official sources. :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage:

and no specific bio for the new heroes, so nothing age-specific.

I was curious, so I went skimming through the pages. The following heroes don’t have their full name in the bio:

  • Ashe
  • Cassidy
  • Junkrat
  • Sombra (forgivable)
  • Symmetra
  • Tracer
  • Baptiste
  • Lucio
  • Roadhog
  • Zarya

Even the mascot of the game has no mention of Lena Oxton anywhere on her page. I also do not think there is a single accessible piece of lore that has Lucio’s full name. I cannot recall if the full thing is mentioned in Hero of Numbani, but it is definitely not mentioned anywhere outside that.

Blizzard forums won’t let me write his name because it thinks the first 4 letters of his lastname are a slur.

First name: Jamison

Last name: Fa doubleu kes

Same last name as Guy F. Whose masks are popular as “Anonymous” masks, and who has a fireworks night in the UK on November 5th

That wouldn’t be a slur. That would be a …very crude verb.

But alas, I can’t talk of my Mask and the gunpowder plot
