book is as thicc as orisa

There’s some kind of cosmic irony with this book coming out in the middle of a time when Orisa is ridiculously, unplayably bad.

I have been waiting since Amazon leaked it in October. I hope it’s shipped to me as soon as it can be. I need to finish it and write a summary/review before DoctorSix!!!

I’m excited for this, but I couldn’t get myself to read that much lol. I’ll watch a bunch of overview videos (Master Ian Gamer is gonna be all over this)

This post needs all the hearts.

the Lore team is not the balance team. Nor is this author part of the balance team.

Now now, it’s not a competition :wink:

My copy won’t arrive until midday on Tuesday (I ordered the paperback), so you’ll probably have a head start. I plan on doing a thorough analysis of the novel when I’m done with it for people who can’t or don’t want to read it.

I plan to get my copy asap, but given all the work I’ve got and prior books to finish. I might be putting it off a bit :joy:

End of the book: Orisa can now shoot 15% faster in fortified mode.

Nice. Maybe i’ll buy it.

Just hope they dont do any reveal about orisa long lost lover before overwatch disbandment, though.

It’s cheesy.

53

Doomfist and another hero will be in it. I forgot the other hero. Also the kid that made orisa will be in it obviously. and maybe some characters we never heard of.

54

Efi has some learning to do, too, especially when it comes to building – and being – a hero

:eyes:

55

Lúcio is the other hero you’re thinking of

56

When I click the PREPURCHASE NOW button is just says:
