Forum request: Emoticons of the heroes

The emojis are fine, but for the Overwatch forums, I was expecting Overwatch emoticons for texts. Like :angel: and :innocent:, but its mercy instead of some generic emoji dude.

Some other ones could be :rofl: for Sombra, :thinking: for Symmetra, :cold_face: for Mei in her ice block, and many more ideas.

Idk, could be fun. Or instead of just the different skintones button, you can change the emojies to be the Overwatch heroes/characters.

They exist, It was in a one of the forum guides. The forums lets you link to local images on the blizzard servers even if you don’t have linking privileges.

You sure? I’m not able to post images from the official PlayOverwatch website (Images.blz-contentstack), or the public emojis made in https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/the-overmoji-caf%C3%A9-re/143402

Have to resort to

Yep can confirm, I can’t copy even the cute zarya emoji (I’m TL2 tho)

I’m TL2 as well. But the way the post was structured, only mentioning TL3 being required to make new emojis, makes me think it was intended for wider use.

now i wonder why someone would disguise one link as a completely different link :thinking:

I love the idea, I will need to remember to bring it up again around Overwatch 2’s launch to have a shot of it actually happening.

I’ve seen it done, and I’ve used it myself, I’ll have to go look at my old posts

Ok let me know if you can get it working. Make sure ur TL2 as well! Otherwise I know it’ll just work because TL3 lets you post everything.
