since some people are confused: - mercy is from switzerland. she speaks german because it's one of the official languages there since "swiss" is not a language - roadhog was born in new zealand but moved to australia to assist in the omnic war - bastion was built in germany - reaper was born in the united states, however, his ethnicity is hispanic - symmetra and reaper are not black (how do you think that 💀) - torbjorn is swedish, making his daughter, brigitte, also swedish. reinhardt is german and is brigitte's godfather, but isn't related to either of them (he's torb's best friend) - baptiste is from haiti, a french speaking country, which is why he speaks french - tracer is not australian, she literally has the flag of the uk on her jacket - orisa is from numbani, a fictional city in africa
it's just that mercy got a german voice actress instead of a swiss one, i can hear it and the difference in accent, and the use of standard german instead of authentic "swiss german" is noticable. when you play the game in german however, mercy's voice actress is in fact swiss
Ramattra is actually Egyptian, he was built as a ravager in Egypt from Anubis and it's why he looks like a Pharaoh, but after the awakening he settled in Nepal. So he would be Egyptian-Nepalise.
I’d like some more Eastern European representation. We have Zarya and that’s basically it. I mean, we don’t have a balkan or a baltic hero. I can understand not wanting to stray near hotzones of controversy and tension (Ukraine, all of the Yugoslav states) but not even a Pole or a Greek?
True, while most of her iconography ties her to her Egyptian heritage, her father is a Canadian Native American man named Sam. We see them meeting during the Christmas comic and he was named dropped in an interaction between Pharah and Ana, bit not much is known about him otherwise.
Although apparently in the English version of the game, Mercy's VA is German so her accent is off according to Swiss players. Reinhardt was the one who named Brigitte, that's why she has a German name.
@@israel1559Being born in L.A doesn’t automatically make you non-Mexican, if that was that case your people wouldn’t be trying to deport “Mexicans” who are actually US citizens.

Correct. While Numbani may be a fictional country, its located near what would be Nigeria if i am correct.

A slight correction, but Baptiste speaks Haitian Creole, not French. The languages do sound similar, but they each have a different structure.
Baptiste is actually fluent in Hatian Creole, French, and English.
Xddd
Why does every Australian in games like apex and Overwatch look like their from mad max
😭😭
The same reason why Brazilian means playing football, German means beer etc.
Because Mad Max. But also because convicts were often sent there by the British.
bcs australia is a literal wasteland(after getting nuked) in the story of overwatch
Madmax is an australian film
It’s quite interesting seeing the diversity in the characters. Lots of representation from the americas, Europe, Africa, asia, and oceana
Ramattra is Nepali
Lifeweaver is Thai
Illari is Peruvian
Mauga is Samoan
Venture is Canadian
Ramattra is actually Egyptian, he was built as a ravager in Egypt from Anubis and it's why he looks like a Pharaoh, but after the awakening he settled in Nepal. So he would be Egyptian-Nepalise.
@@I-on23and he still didn’t get the Anubis skin 😞
As someone who’s part polish, I would LOVE to see a polish hero make it in the game one day!👀
YEAHHH
Reaper sure is America bro can fucking make a gun appear out of no where and is just typical American
Thank God we didn't loose any. Hate when that happens. Just add. True sequel.
Nice to see some Egyptian representation🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

Or Turkish and Romanian or even italian
I agree. We have maps for Poland and Greece in the game, but no heroes yet.
@@Flowing_water_Editz no turkish
@@guzelataroach4450 why not?
@@Flowing_water_Editz its an evil country
I realy love that sigma is dutch and is the only one who is dutch love from belgium
Pharah is half Egyptian half Canadian
True, while most of her iconography ties her to her Egyptian heritage, her father is a Canadian Native American man named Sam. We see them meeting during the Christmas comic and he was named dropped in an interaction between Pharah and Ana, bit not much is known about him otherwise.
I thought reaper was Mexican
He Was United States America (USA)
Es chicano
He’s Mexican decent
He is Mexican
He is albanian 🇦🇱
Soldier 76 is my favorite Overwatch Character
Lore wise i agree
I wish overwatch character adding some other south east Asia like Thai,viet,indon or Malaysia
Yes..malon,lao ..
Isn't the new support hero Lifeweaver from Thailand?
they added a thai character AAAAA im thai
@@reiwasaru I just watched the video the character looks nice
❤️🇰🇷I Love DVA!!!🇰🇷❤️
Nepalis should be so proud
Overwatch is the Best game in the world❤❤❤
roadhog is new zealander🤨
I thought Doomfist and Orisa were from a fictional country
Numbani is a made-up city, not a country. Lore-wise it's also not in Nigeria, just near it.
Orisa was built in the fictional African city of Numbani, which is supposed to be located somewhere near Nigeria, and Doomfist is Nigerian.
@@wingedbluj1674isn't that somewhere in Kameroune?

Bastion is German? Thats new for me ,,,,, And Echo is not Singapore, she´s Swiss ,,,,, And Overwatch Homepage said that Moira is Irak, not Irish.
Probably because the forrest he woke up in was in Germany. Not sure where he was manufactured tho.
@@moi1310 since the fighting we see with bastion units is mostly within german too i guess he was manufactured somewhere in that region too
Moira is Irish, Echo is Signaporian and Bastion techincally isn't German but he was fighting and got shutdown in the black forest in Germany
moira is irish tho
Moira is most definitely Irish, one listen to her accent would tell you that
I came up with a serious sam like character from slovenia who possesses an aa12 that fires lazers
i am pretty happy that two of them are swedes because im from sweden
1:05 every elementary schooler be like
There is no dark skinned character in junkertown...

@@wingedbluj1674 how this works
I really like that there are three Japanese characters. There is only one Korean
Cry for Korea 🤣
I dint now that sigma was dutch why did nobody tell my this!?
Cool a not só steryoptc Brazilian character
The Netherlands is sigma lesh go
They should put an italian hero in the game
How can a robot be Nigerian?
It was built in nigeria
I thought sombara was spanish
Pharah is Canadian-Egyptian
GERMAN ENGINEERING IS THE WORLD'S FINEST!
When did McCree get renamed to Cassidy?
Back in 2021. His namesake, Blizzard employee Jesse McCree, was fired that year due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
@@liammcdonough6832 Thanks!
Dva is from north korea
MOIRAAA❤❤❤❤❤❤
No italians......
That is a fair point. We got a italian map for deathmatch modes but no known hero associated with it.
Bastion is Cool
It’s a shame that we still have no Turkish map or hero.
Isn't Reaper a mexican-american
That’s still American stupid. A nationality is not the same as a race
He’s American, he has Mexican heritage
@@orla757Thats literally what he said.
Who thought mei was Russian or just me.
JUST you, honestly
I thought she was French for some reason
Brigitte and Mercy are German, no ?
Brigitte is Torb's daughter, and mercy speaks German because it is the official language of Switzerland (Swiss is not a language)
Although apparently in the English version of the game, Mercy's VA is German so her accent is off according to Swiss players.
Reinhardt was the one who named Brigitte, that's why she has a German name.
TROP bien
reaper is mexican
He was born in L.A
No
Incorrect. Gabriel Reyes, the man who became Reaper, was born and raised in Los Angeles, California before joining the U.S. Armed Forces.
@@wingedbluj1674so Mexicans born in the US are automatically not Hispanic 😂got it
@@israel1559Being born in L.A doesn’t automatically make you non-Mexican, if that was that case your people wouldn’t be trying to deport “Mexicans” who are actually US citizens.
Why there is no Pakistani character.
I would like a pakistani overwatch hero.
Maybe they'll make one eventually
@@wingedbluj1674 I hope so.
No middel eastern hero?
Ana and Pharah.
Even tho Egypt is in Africa, some ppl still consider it part of the middle east cuz arabs live there too.
Wrecking ball is australian
Lucio is my nationality
I thought roadhog was from bew Zealand

Omg jag är också svensk
Reaper American?
Yes, he is. He was born in L.A.
Moira! 🇮🇪
Reaper Is Mexican/American
He was born in the US so he’s American
@@theincrediblezit8792Still Hispanic. Majority of Mexicans in the US are born there. But they are still seen as Mexican regardless.
Why Indian is not there

Moira is Iraqi on the Blizzard website
No she's Irish, she just is based in oasis in iraq
Pharah is Canadian.
I thought sombra was russia
Sombra literally means shadow in Spanish lol
