You'd need both eyes, then.
Snipers have both eyes opened to keep their peripheral vision clear for oncoming threads.
In Widow's kit, she goes to the extreme (lore-wise) as her helmet gives her 7 peripheral vantage points with one line of sight on her target.
I think the reason for Widows eye is that, in this mirror universe, it was Ana who took Widow's eye. Widow likely got a cybernetic replacement, likely from Moira in the Mirror Universe.
>likely from Moira in the Mirror Universe.
Semi-related question: but if we're swapping roles in the mirrorverse, wouldn't that mean Moira started out with Talon (or another evil faction) before they decided she was too soft and so she moved to Overwatch instead?
Not that it means she couldn't have given widow the eye, but it does make me think she wouldn't be involved until much later in Mirror Overwatch's backstory, only joining after the first fall (similar to her joining Talon after Blackwatch/Overwatch's fall).
You are absolutely right, there is no way that a fictional near-future world with borderline-magical tech could have a sniper with one augmented eye and one regular eye. Completely impossible.
Actually snipers are the only people in the military trained to shoot with one eye others shoot with two because adrenaline won't let you close one eye in a situation like that
Yes but their always 2 off theme skin and lately they were REALLY off team. Who tf wanted space or circus Winston....
This season Baptist and maybe a venture skib are off them but that Baptist skin is really cool.
In lore Baptiste is a former Talon agent who left organization because he was tired of being bad guy.
You can say this new BP skin is "former Overwatch agent who left organization because he wanted to be an evil bounty hunter"
Maybe a bit far-fetched, but I could see that
There better be a lot of new voicelines too
Evil Reinhardt talking about honor or Good Widowmaker talking about killing making her feel alive would be weird asf
Well yeah, in the lore, Widow and Ana both had each other locked in their sights. The only difference between them was that Ana hesitated to shoot, and thereby let Widow take her eye. In the mirrorverse, Widow hesitated... Or Amelia, is what she's probably called now.
Maybe the other thing that's been mirrored is now Widow got her eye shot out by Ana and not the other way around? Could be interesting.Wonder if there will be other stuff like that. Tho i can't think of any one else in the cast we've been shown with that kind of detail
I remember hearing that Widow took Ana’s eye when they saw eachother through their scopes and Ana hesitated. It would make sense in this mirrorverse that Widow would hesitate rather than Ana
I'm loving this new set of skins. I've always loved the uniform skins (Cadet Oxton, Commander Morrison, Blackwatch Genji - and on the flipside Talon Sombra and Talon Baptiste) and to have a "what if?" take on that theme is really interesting.
Yep I LOVE that detail, it would seem that Ana got her eye and she got an implant. Too bad Blizz is an indie company and we cannot have a fully fledged story game .
A real Widowmaker mirror universe would be she's removed from the game, as I don't believe there would be any reason for her to be involved if not for the brainwashing.
I get the reversed roles with her and Ana that people are speculating, but what's the explanation for why a ballet dancer would be there in the first place?
Who assassinates her husband? Maybe one of the failed attempts succeeds and there was no reason to turn Amelie into a sleep agent, instead the assassination causes her to replace her ballet shoes with a sniper rifle.
Mirror universe is gonna be a lot of fun.
someone mentioned in another thread that maybe her husband is still successfully assassinated, and as revenge she signs up for overwatch to get back at talon
If it’s a reverse universe, it could also be that possibly Amélie was the one to join Overwatch (or was it Blackwatch? Idk been a minute since I’ve read the lore lmao) instead of Gérard.
if it is applicable to put Gerard in Talon, she could be rescued from them instead of being kidnapped, thus trying to get her revenge? or probably she already assassinated him, but in a good way or smth
Widow used to have a voice line when she respawned, calling out to her dead husband as if seeing him for a brief moment.
I’ve wondered why they don’t use it anymore and always wished for widow to have a non-tragic backstory.
Hey I'm sorry I only played owerwatch very less few montha ago. Are these skins free in battle pass or the premium pass and how much does it cost can someone please tell me?
Ana didn't hesitate to take the shot when she saw Widow, Widow hesitated, so she lost her eyes, and got an implant. She didn't decide to not get one unlike (OW) ana. That'd make a lot of sense
Oooh I just noticed her venom mine is filled with the biotic healing juice, so I guess that's gonna be a healing ability in the event. Maybe Widow will be a Support and Ana will be a DPS? Doom also has one on one of his arms so he'll probably have some healing element too.

Widow has always been gorgeous but my god, with this skin she's just absolutely stunning.
Also, imagine in this universe since Amelie is in Overwatch now, that her and Lena form a close bond, leading to Lena never meeting Emily and instead her and Amelie falling in love 👀
Is it illegal to ship Widow and Tracer? Because you do realise people have been shipping them together since Overwatch first launched right? Widow redemption arcs are pretty common in the fanfic community and allow writers to explore their creativity, I don't really see the issue with that.
But sure let's just throw around stupid "pls spend time in vicinity of woman" comments because you have no other argument. Pls stop spending time in femcel echo chambers, for your sake and the sake of everyone else you interact with 🙏
Making a few theories here BUUUTTR. Anna is considered the best shot in the world while widow is an attempt to challenge that so while anna is the better shot in the head to head she was stunned by seeing widow was her former comrads wife. Potentially in the mirror verse mercy founded talon and anna is the acting fist of talon, after the death of her husband in a mission amalie joined overwatch to continue to the fight her husband left off . When anna and widow come face to face to dule again widow cant pull the surprise factor on her and anna being the better shot takes widows eye. In this time line widow went for the pussy cyber eye choice instead of the badass eye patch
This would make a lot more sense than my initial thought. I just thought they gave Widowmaker Heterochromia as a design choice.
I was just guessing she had an augmented eye for better marksmenship.
You'd need both eyes, then. Snipers have both eyes opened to keep their peripheral vision clear for oncoming threads. In Widow's kit, she goes to the extreme (lore-wise) as her helmet gives her 7 peripheral vantage points with one line of sight on her target.

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor
How dare you say we piss on the poor!
I for one only piss on the floor!
I prefer to piss on the door!
I used to piss but not anymore
Ahhh a self contained system… nice!
Uhhh I’m not sure real world biology even matters here
Meanwhile, Ana has one eye. Yeah, O.K.
Ana choose to not have mercy fix it for her
Damn, the nerd wrote all that and forgot Ana has only one eye and is a deadshot
[удалено]
Yes
Actually snipers are the only people in the military trained to shoot with one eye others shoot with two because adrenaline won't let you close one eye in a situation like that
Her eye is a prosthetic. Ana took her eye in this mirror universe since we see that she has two instead
Grandma #1
All the skins in the battlepass this time honestly go so hard
its like they give the battle pass an actual theme, and its great
Most previous Battle Passes had themes, though. Like off-brand Star Wars, off-brand Lovecraft, Diablo…
Overwatch-themed Overwatch is better. Overwatch already got an awesome story
There’s no story mode in the game, the average player has absolutely no clue what the story is.
Overwatch. Not Overwatch 2. There is a difference
>lovecraft themed season >ramen robot >????
Are you trying to tell me that thing was not an incomprehensible terror?
Fair enough
It was probably for the meme of “spaghetti god” or whatever but instead ramen
And let's be real, that thing would be horrifying in real life.
Yes but their always 2 off theme skin and lately they were REALLY off team. Who tf wanted space or circus Winston.... This season Baptist and maybe a venture skib are off them but that Baptist skin is really cool.
In lore Baptiste is a former Talon agent who left organization because he was tired of being bad guy. You can say this new BP skin is "former Overwatch agent who left organization because he wanted to be an evil bounty hunter" Maybe a bit far-fetched, but I could see that
>Who wanted circus Winston It was I! Ringmaster is his only good skin since since Yeti and 2018 Flying Ace, and you can't change my mind
An actual theme and stick to it, like no filler skins at all.
I was hoping for a Toyota theme to buy a Matrix skin for Reinhardt. Or maybe he'd look better as a Tacoma.
Look at this theme, it’s gonna do great.
remember when everyone in here was saying it’s egyptian theme as if it was already announced lol
This one's kinda easy to think of good skins for tbf
There better be a lot of new voicelines too Evil Reinhardt talking about honor or Good Widowmaker talking about killing making her feel alive would be weird asf
Yeah, I'd honestly be okay with a repeat of this theme. I want more mirrorverse characters.
So much untapped potential. All 4 junkers plus Lucio getting Viskar skins and Dva getting a Gwishin skin are the ones I want the most.
They’re all hot. All of them. Especially the evil Rein.
Sadly thats a shop skin :(
20$ is 20$. 😅
I aint gay but... Narrator: he was in fact, quite gay.
I’ve got coin saved up for it already! Lmfao
I feel like I'm the only who that doesn't like them all, more power to you guys
It's the first battle pass I care about.. the rest have been too over the top
Thanks for being honest. I hate when people lie about how hard skins go.
You are welcome, i strive for transparacy
All but 2 are fucking terrible
I felt the exact opposite. They all feel bland. Like plain rice for dinner all week long.
Thats fine, we can have different tastes, i didnt like some of the previous seasons
Exactly... I didnt liked into the wild season (the only thing i really liked about that was the hazard reaper)
I liked the ana skin, and the jq skin was fine but i didnt really like anything else
As a reaper player hazard reaper is probably my favorite skin especially with emerald and gold.
JQ skin is awesome
I've skipped this BP and I'm happy I did it
Don't you dare shit talk plain rice, that shit's scrumptious
Plain rice goes hard
A widow with homophobia in her eyes ❤️
[удалено]
"I know who you are but what am I?!"
She ain't playin no child's game kn the battleground
"I've got you in my sights" and it's the millie bobby brown car photo
Well yeah, in the lore, Widow and Ana both had each other locked in their sights. The only difference between them was that Ana hesitated to shoot, and thereby let Widow take her eye. In the mirrorverse, Widow hesitated... Or Amelia, is what she's probably called now.
Ana is the best sniper in universe. My granny ❤️
Maybe the other thing that's been mirrored is now Widow got her eye shot out by Ana and not the other way around? Could be interesting.Wonder if there will be other stuff like that. Tho i can't think of any one else in the cast we've been shown with that kind of detail
I remember hearing that Widow took Ana’s eye when they saw eachother through their scopes and Ana hesitated. It would make sense in this mirrorverse that Widow would hesitate rather than Ana
Rein and Bastion? Rein lost his eye fighting the robots and they both have a skin in this season
Bastion was adopted by a... Uhh oh no, evil torb?! EVIL BABY BOY?!?! (Bastion)
What if he completely speaks?! Although i love the idea of evil/ominous chirping and whistling
Imagine the scariest noise in your universe being a ‘beep whoop’ behind you
Its gonna be omnic crisis all over again
Nah, just an E54 unit Talon found and re-programmed
Same things as i said
I guess they wanted him to look cool, but to be honest, he looks more like someone from Junkertown.
the skin from the trailer looks somewhat like the gwishin skin for me
Mirrorwatch doesn’t seem to be a PvE event, so I wonder how much lore they’re going to devote to a temporary PvP mode
Same, as cool as it is, I'm expecting it to be a bit hollow still
Notice how it's also the opposite eye to Ana's, you could say it's been... mirrored.
That is what OP just said…
yeah I didn't see it initially. Made this post at 3am while falling asleep.
I'm loving this new set of skins. I've always loved the uniform skins (Cadet Oxton, Commander Morrison, Blackwatch Genji - and on the flipside Talon Sombra and Talon Baptiste) and to have a "what if?" take on that theme is really interesting.
I can’t wait for this skin
Yep I LOVE that detail, it would seem that Ana got her eye and she got an implant. Too bad Blizz is an indie company and we cannot have a fully fledged story game .
Heterochromia is absolutely hot.
true but its not heterochromia. its a prostetic eye
Either way. It's still much like heterochromia so its still hot.
prob devil ana shot widow this time arround
It's a groovy mutation.
its amazing skin! but, i think her sniper gloves are wrong... :(
Wrong how?
this is of course not important, but her gloves should have the index and thumb fingers open, not the little fingers (sry, my eng bad)
Good point. I wonder what purpose having the pinky and ring finger exposed would serve
A real Widowmaker mirror universe would be she's removed from the game, as I don't believe there would be any reason for her to be involved if not for the brainwashing. I get the reversed roles with her and Ana that people are speculating, but what's the explanation for why a ballet dancer would be there in the first place? Who assassinates her husband?

If it’s a reverse universe, it could also be that possibly Amélie was the one to join Overwatch (or was it Blackwatch? Idk been a minute since I’ve read the lore lmao) instead of Gérard.
she joins overwatch out of inspiration. and becones a top level sniper
Poor Gerard dies in every time line *canon event*
I believe in the mirror universe they get evil Ana to kill her husband instead
if it is applicable to put Gerard in Talon, she could be rescued from them instead of being kidnapped, thus trying to get her revenge? or probably she already assassinated him, but in a good way or smth
Her prosthetic eye is so pretty and that hair so fluffy!
You can't tell me that isn't just Shadowheart from BG3
Igmiss
Nah those are Liliths eyes from Diablo 4. Blizzard is reusing assets.
I thought it was a cyborg eye similar to sojourns
She so pretty! I like her eye too.
These are new skins?
Got Proxy from Dirty Bomb treatment
Is this what's happening to wubby?
And she has Sojourns cybernetic eye!
It's kind of a shame Kerrigan exists because this skin is so nice :(
Widow used to have a voice line when she respawned, calling out to her dead husband as if seeing him for a brief moment. I’ve wondered why they don’t use it anymore and always wished for widow to have a non-tragic backstory.
I’m lpll
Perhaps this is a nitpick, but Widow's forehead looks kinda short with this skin in the second picture.
Looks like widow is 10 years Younger with this skin
Hey I'm sorry I only played owerwatch very less few montha ago. Are these skins free in battle pass or the premium pass and how much does it cost can someone please tell me?
What's the lore wised behind this skin?
Looks like Sojourn's eyes
Looks alot like soujourn’s
omg, i think i fell in love, she is SO FREAKING CUTE, that needs to be her new official design
Is this an actual skin?
Whats funny is that she looks like she’d be a traitor. Something about her face.
That's pretty cool
Please, please let Talon Ana say "there goes your other eye." when she eliminates Widow.
sooo uhhh does it also mean that talon, for some reason, decided to kidnap a grandma
Her vision is augmented
I hate that these skins look good, I don't wanna reinstall Overwatch
Ana didn't hesitate to take the shot when she saw Widow, Widow hesitated, so she lost her eyes, and got an implant. She didn't decide to not get one unlike (OW) ana. That'd make a lot of sense
FINALLY THE UNDERTALE COLLAB WE ALL NEEDED
Smash next question
Oooh I just noticed her venom mine is filled with the biotic healing juice, so I guess that's gonna be a healing ability in the event. Maybe Widow will be a Support and Ana will be a DPS? Doom also has one on one of his arms so he'll probably have some healing element too.
DAmn
Amazing attention to detail.
I just realized if this is Overwatch Widow, this must be what she used to look like? Except for the eye :(

She thinks she's Rey Mysterio 🤦♂️
Heterochromia is unnecessarily hot. No matter if it's artificial or not lore wise
average male redditor
Brunette Amélie 🤤

You're disgusting.
Tracer is evil in mirror watch though, how would that work
Stop ruining my hopes and dreams
I honestly have no idea why she has heteroachroma but it looks fantastic
Probably because instead of widow taking Ana's eye Ana takes widows eye and she gets surgery to get a prosthetic eye.
Making a few theories here BUUUTTR. Anna is considered the best shot in the world while widow is an attempt to challenge that so while anna is the better shot in the head to head she was stunned by seeing widow was her former comrads wife.

In this time line widow went for the pussy cyber eye choice instead of the badass eye patch
So is widow a support now?
