In Old Soldiers, we see Ana holding different types of ammo. She probably just loads healing ammo to heal and regular ammo to harm.
Aye, I think that might be a thing. I mean, she would be capable of doing so. If Moira is capable of doing all sorts of shady things, why not her? 
what are you talking about? orisa hasnât had a major appernce in a comic besides âsearchingâ which was just a cameo. and gravition surge is canon so why wouldnât halt?
why not? she can create anything in lore.
The point here isnât whether itâs realistic or not vs wraith. The point is whether itâs been demonstrated and/or confirmed yet.
Didnât Reaper use shadowstep in one of the cinematics?
Edit: Wait I might be confusing one of his highlight intros with a cinematic nevermind.
but op is asking which abilites âdonât exist or wouldnât make sense in the loreâ not âwhich abilites havenât been shown yetâ . and also i think âwouldnât make sense in the loreâ shouldnât really matter considering hanzo and genji have summoned spirit dragons in a canon cinematic, and those are probably the most unrealistic abilites in the game
But Iâm not responding to OP, am I. Iâm correcting someone saying that Reaper uses Shadow Step in the cinematics.
Jeez⌠
(please donât @ me again, Iâm done here)
I really doubt Reaper can heal himself shooting people in the lore tbh.
how is reaper draining health from his opponents less realistic then hanzo shooting out a spirit dragon? its entirely possibly that reaper can heal himself by shooting people, donât see how its unlikely.
why would them being ânewâ make them not canon? d.va didnât have micro missles at launch, but she has them on her animated short. storm arrows can be lore canon, so can proton barrier.

Deadeye is lore friendly
Iâm think Junkrat can hurt himself with his mines in the lore?
I never talked about realism. I mean, Hanzo is already established as Shimida dragonâs user. Based on that, I really dont find his spirit arrows unfitting. Just as I dont find Reaperâs teleport or wraith form unfitting either.
However, passive lifesteal from his shotguns has less of an explanation, even in the fictional universe the game takes place in. It just sounds as an in-game mechanic
I think most of the abilties actually, at least when going more in detail. Some examples:
- If Iâm correct, Mercy isnât able to rez people in the lore.
- Junkrat likely doesnât have a mine that damages other people, but just bounces him around (how would you explain that lorewise?)
- Dvaâs self-destruct damages herself in the lore (duh) while it no longer does in-game
- Sombraâs hack is awfully selective in-game.
- Most of the new post-rework abilties I assume; Storm Arrow, Molten Floor
- Actually, most of the healing abilties: Lucioâs auras, Zenâs orbs and trans, Brigâs inspire and armor up (seriously, what is that even lorewise? she doesnât even throw something physical).
- The fact that Zaryaâs bubbles empower her weapon.
Anaâs gun is canon. In Old Soldiers comic she damaged Reaper and then healed Soldier, with the same rifle. The only difference is that in lore she has to change damaging ammos with healing ammos to do that.
Coach Gun isnât canon yet right?
Iâd imagine the sonic technology they used would be similar to those attacks on American embassy folks in Cuba- low-frequency blasts that cause confusion and illness.
that sonic technology turned out to be crickets 'Sonic attack' on US embassy in Havana could have been crickets, say scientists | Cuba | The Guardian

that doesnât make any sense. why the heck would junkrat build a mine that âdoesnât blow people upâ i donât seen the point of a mine that deals knockback but no damage. nor do i think junkrat could realistic build it. Your really overthinking things. if tracer can timetravel and hanzo can summon a spirit dragon than i donât think junkrat not blowing himself up any more is that big of a stretch.
d.va uses micro missles in her cinematic despite it being added much later in the game. so i think its entirely possible for them to add in abilites not already in lore.
why? how is that unrealistic? at all? she already has a mini black hole, its possible the damage done to her bubbles absorbs energy or something
i donât think him draining health is that weird. his whole thing is that his cells are developing at rate that keeps him alive but kinda dead at the same time, so his life steal could be representative of him draining the âlifeâ of his enemies. kinda like a reverse of how mercy heals allies. like draining cells.
No they donât
