@@furioussherman7265 sure, that was your interpretation and you're welcome to it. but seeing as how there's an actual pattern to how they write both junkrat and sigma (as there should be, or the ovw writers would be very poor writers) that's likely not the intended meaning. junkrat isn't just ambiguously "crazy"; he's specifically a pyromaniac, which has nothing to do with being out of touch with reality, and likely traumatized in general (the blank stare in his select screen animation, the obvious violence implied from his past by him having lost limbs, his memory issues, the admittedly pretty vague hints in canon that there was starvation in the outback). he also lacks a lot of regular social skills due to growing up in a wasteland, doesn't manage his personal hygiene very well for the same reason (at least in ovw1, might be different in ovw2 since time has passed), and is a very talkative person; these last three things are what actually make other characters treat him as if he's odd or unpleasant to be around. sigma IS out of touch with reality and seems to have some sort of psychosis, but his condition also isn't exactly analogous to any real mental condition, since it's literally caused by him having looked into a black hole. different cause, but some of the same outward signs as a result because the writers obviously had to base it on something more familiar. even with him having that condition and sigma's story in general being rife w some lackluster ableist stereotypes, which is unfortunate, the writers did still manage to make his writing consistent. there's things he's still fully able to understand, and things he isn't. "it takes crazy to understand crazy" is kind of nonsensical when applied to them because yes they both have mental conditions, but they're not the same ones, or even of the same type. they understand each other because they're both intelligent people with a shared area of interest (philosophy). sorry for the long and perhaps unintentionally defensive sounding response. as someone who intends to be a professional game writer one day, it's just quite easy to spot the actual effort and thought the overwatch writers do put into the characters, and it's a shame to see how often it's overlooked or oversimplified.
Honestly he'll probably never recover from this. His situation of seeing the infinite universe is much like when someone in an H.P Lovecraft story sees an entity or creature that drives them to insanity.
Since periodic table element abbreviations are universal, something like this would be funny: Winston: Would anyone like to hear my favorite joke about the periodic table? Sigma: Only if it's a joke about potassium. Winston: K.
It is always funny that Moira, a cynical & cruel character that everyone, even her own team gets irritated, has no patience and easily gets annoyed whenever she interacts with Sigma.
I take it as some sort of karma for her given that she has to monitor him and keep him in line. So makes sense that for all she does she has to put up with his inquiries which she hates.

They really have Sigma's duality on full display. In the spawn he's so nice and wholesome but when he eliminates you he just says the most black hearted cold shit. Fuckin love it.
What’s even cooler is that there is a lot of subtext even with the way he responds to team members! He has a seriously sly and mischievous side that ranges from harmlessly playful to downright sadistic. Sigma’s V.A is an absolute legend for the sheer nuance and charisma he was able to bring to his character!

I love the fact that most characters recognize he’s not evil and try to help him to understand he’s being used, even sombra knows though she’s not on anyone’s side but her own (sigmas too I think she cares a lot for that man)
Oh yeah she's definitely on his side. I Iike to imagine she's working on finding somewhere for him to go and is planning to stage a breakout at some point. Maybe when she's gotten what she needs from Talon and takes him with her? Burns it all down behind them or something. Idk, but that man is HER old fart of a grandpa. Everyone back off. The whole, she's a bad guy, but she's not a BAD guy. Not a great person but she is a good one.
I was playing as Sigma and got that interaction where Junkrat recognizes the paradox Sigma is mentioning. I always liked that, how most people seem to have some kind of pretty friendly interactions with him. The way Talon uses him always made me sad and I like that Sombra tries to help keep him together. Like she saw him and was just like "That's my grandpa." It hurts to hear Baptiste try to warn him about Talon and for him to be confused because he believes that they actually have his interests in mind. I also really like the idea that when he's talking to Zenyatta and says "Oh, of course, the Iris! We've met." I'd like to think he's not actually confused about what Zenyatta means and his ability to seemingly view reality on a higher level has allowed him to actually conceptualize the Iris himself, at least a bit. Not to the point where he's fully enlightened like Zenyatta, but he's encountered the concept before. Though he can also sound pretty cold. I remember one time I got a kill streak and he just said, with what sounded like legitimate anger and impatience, "That's, enough." Moira is mean though. Also, not sure if this was removed or what, but I remember one time I absorbed Tracer's Pulse Bomb and Sigma said really smugly "Not fast enough."
Sigma is such a chad, definitely my favorite character in Overwatch. Too bad I probably won’t play much tank in OW2. His voice lines are so good as well.
I really wonder if Sigma’s comment about meeting the Iris is legit or just more chaos from within his mind. After all, Iris was a real Omnic at one point.
@@mitab1 the Iris is a rumored State of Being, seemingly akin to other faith's forms of "Enlightenment". Sigma is clinically insane, and theorized to basically have multiple realities worth of memories and thoughts crashed together, thus it is very possible that a Sigma of an alternate reality has met someone who has achieved the state of being, or even perceived a physical manifestation of the concept. Man literally hears the universe, I wouldn't be surprised by his mind being invaded by the supernatural as well.
i lover the interaction between him and Cassidy he seems completely astounded he's like an American cowhand? and cassidy takes it in stride and is just like yep it's the 1880s all over again
i won't lie, i love how sigma is actually just a sweet guy in the spawn room. he has childlike wonder, curiosity and acts like a child with what he questions. many of the other characters even think so because his idea's are so absurd and random, little do they know he lost his entire mind because he saw what was in a black hole. and the way he switches up to when he's in battle is also pretty crazy, one moment he's a man questioning the unquestionable and then the next he becomes a cold gravitational killing machine.
I love his friendship with Winston and Sombra! Sombra shows that she always care for people, even Baptise! As long as they got her back, she's got theirs!
I hope Sigma joins overwatch some time in the PvE mode. The Talon agents are so mean to him (barring sombra). also, the irony of soldier 76 calling him old man.
@@spellls185 talon seems like an organization where the higher ups are trying to fulfill their own goals and interests and only cooperate as to not get their heads beaten in by their boss.
@@NoobsiferPainting wouldn't surprise me if she was associated with every major organization considering how useful her skills are in a futuristic society.
Sigma was one of my favorite characters when he was introduced, and he still is. Glad to see they've added some voice lines, they add a lot of personality for him and I appreciate it a lot. Especially his interactions with Moira and Sombra.
You can hear voices during his ultimate, as well. He used to have voices on ALL HIS MOVES during launched and it was changed cause it was too creepy lmao
I like how he’s goofy and eccentric in the spawn room, but for eliminations he’s stone cold and aloof. He’s also completely terrifying when he loses composure
It's really interesting how nearly everyone in Talon seems to be being setup to leave at some point. Moira pressing Widow about seemingly beginning to regain emotions and secretly planning something. Sombra was never really fully bought in and dislikes some of their methods. Sigma is very likely to have some sort of redemption where he realizes that he's being used, maybe with Sombra's help. Reaper also has been thinking about his wife as we see in voice lines and that one Christmas comics plus old overwatch still sees good and him and believe that he can change. I'm really interested in where the PvE will take them.
I think junkrat and sigma unlikely would just nerd out, junkrat is smarter than anyone think he is, dude, how do you produce a high efficiency grenades and weapon to toss them with, a mine that if jumped on right doesn't deal damage to the owner and a controlled tire from trash and car parts?! Not only that but he must be a chemical genius, because his bombs aren't to scoff at, and remember, he lived in junkertown, a town with limited resources, he must have some kind of formula for these, he also mentions that to Moira. It'd them both being crazy science nerds together
Well there is one thing junkrat saying to sigma when he eliminates him. "That! Was for not taking me to space when I asked! " That means they've met before at some point. Maybe before junkrat goes crazy or after but. The two probably see each other in the lore.
@@thescoundrel2 junkrat is a genius still tho, it wasn't his choice he was likely raised in radioactive wasteland, dude can create high efficiency weapons from literal garbage and car parts, a working prosthetic arm and a peg leg that most likely is used to help him propel himself more easily with his mines, and a controlled tire that is so jam packed with explosives it literally kills everyone who's not resistant enough to take the blow ALL FROM CAR PARTS AND TRASH He's also great with chemicals, he mentions that to Moira, and I mean, he must be, explosives are nothing but chemical reaction with a trigger Junkrat is just weird because the town he lived in was just as weird
"An ant on the ceiling. Where are you going, little friend? Oh there's another one. What delightful little creatures." I'm in this picture and I don't like it
The term is Meno’s Paradox, which postulates that the ability of humanity to question is inherently incomplete. It has served as part of the basis for the theory of recollection and the three definitions of virtue.
Someone else already explained it, but it is weird that they referred to the wrong paradox. It could just be that Junkrat just got it wrong, but it seems odd to reference his knowledge of philosophy only for him to get thay reference incorrect. Zeno's paradox is completely different from what Sigma said. It basically goes something like this- if you are walking to a door, you can walk until you are halfway there. Then you walk until you're halfway to it from where you're standing now. Then halfway from there. According to logic, since there are an infinite number of halfways, you will never reach the door, thus it is a paradox.
I do like how Orisa, even though she hates talon and it’s people, isn’t aggressive with Sigma. Since she possibly can sense his innocence that she is built to protect in her city
It’s also explained that Talon basically has him ignore any semblance of “You’re being trapped!” with his cybernetics, specially expunging figures like Soldier 76 by manifesting something else to get his attention (Like fairies or ants in soldiers case)
I think there’s a different, more chilling subtext to his dialogue with Soldier. “Snap out of it old man, Talon is using you!” “An ant, on the ceiling! Where are you going, little friend?” This line, while sounding completely disconnected from context, actually holds a great deal of meaning and insight into Sigma’s sub-consciousness. He’s stating that he’s playing along with Talon, which he views as a cute, harmless entity, out of simple curiosity for where their mission will lead them. The sideways manner in which he responds to 76 is a show of his disdain for the notion that he’s being used. It’s so nonsensical that it doesn’t even warrant a straight answer. “Hey! I’m talking to you!” “Oh there’s another one! What delightful creatures.” A sarcastic and contemptuous response to 76’s attempt to get his attention, effectively amounting to him saying “how cute”.
@@fakename2926 most likely if they ever expand on sigmas story it would be revealed that talon was never actually able to take away his free will and he tries to kill them because they were only needed as a means to acheiving his true goals
I love how his lines in the spawn room shows his curious and wholesome “Dr.” personality along with his naive personality gained from being imprisoned not only physically but mentally, and then his elimination lines are all cold hearted and viscous like the personality he has gotten from working with Talon
When Junkrat replied to sigma and said "ahhh Xeno's paradox" It reminds me of that one friend who is stupid but surprises you every now and then when he actually says something smart
Sigma in normal conversation: inquiring about weird questions and being a strange kind man Sigma when he kills someone: violating them to he point of bullying
The zenyatta interaction is funny to me because it feels like either the Iris is something zen hasnt met or that zen made it up and feels weird that someone is out grifting him.
@@danclypse The Iris is basically a State of Enlightenment. So, you could technically meet with it, by meeting any being who has achieved the status, or by merely approaching the state of being yourself. Sigma hears the universe itself, I wouldn't be surprised if the supernatural wasn't creeping into him as well.
Him and Sombra are like a caring daughter and a father that is slowly losing himself to Alzheimer’s/Dementia. It’s such an unexpected friendship, but makes sense.
Damn idk if the fact that there are tank interactions show the dedication to create a story out of the voice lines or if they did these before they decided on 5v5
7:37 I think I've heard this outside of shutting down Deadeye. It's a kill quote, I just can't 100% remember when. It might just be when killing Cassidy, but I'm not sure. Simga has amazing voice lines, but my favorite interaction has to be the one with Soldier. Just: "Hey, you're being used" while Sigma's over here looking at some ants on a ceiling, giving a grand total of zero craps. I also managed to get the line from stopping Genji's ult in unranked. I'm not sure if it needs to be the rock specifically or just killing him with the ult active, but it's an amazing line. His interactions with Sombra are also surprisingly wholesome.
The way Sigma sounds in the lobby compared to when he eliminates someone is so scary. He goes from a curious and kind scientist to a cold, insulting killer. Almost as if his other personalities switch when fighting.

I really wonder if Sigma’s comment about meeting the Iris is legit or just more chaos from within his mind.
After all, Iris was a real Omnic at one point.
The Iris wasn't an omnic, I think you're thinking of the first sentient Omnic, who's name I'm forgetting but shes not the Iris
@@Skibbutz Yeah they dropped the "god omnic" thing after that first comic
@@Skibbutz Aurora
The iris isn't something you can "meet"
@@mitab1 the Iris is a rumored State of Being, seemingly akin to other faith's forms of "Enlightenment". Sigma is clinically insane, and theorized to basically have multiple realities worth of memories and thoughts crashed together, thus it is very possible that a Sigma of an alternate reality has met someone who has achieved the state of being, or even perceived a physical manifestation of the concept.
Man literally hears the universe, I wouldn't be surprised by his mind being invaded by the supernatural as well.
The friendship between Sombra and Sigma is so cute.
Sombra is a sweetheart Ngl she’s nice to everyone
i lover the interaction between him and Cassidy he seems completely astounded he's like an American cowhand? and cassidy takes it in stride and is just like yep it's the 1880s all over again
i won't lie, i love how sigma is actually just a sweet guy in the spawn room. he has childlike wonder, curiosity and acts like a child with what he questions. many of the other characters even think so because his idea's are so absurd and random, little do they know he lost his entire mind because he saw what was in a black hole. and the way he switches up to when he's in battle is also pretty crazy, one moment he's a man questioning the unquestionable and then the next he becomes a cold gravitational killing machine.
I love his friendship with Winston and Sombra! Sombra shows that she always care for people, even Baptise! As long as they got her back, she's got theirs!
With the exception of Tracer. Tracer hates her guts from what I remember
I hope Sigma joins overwatch some time in the PvE mode. The Talon agents are so mean to him (barring sombra).
also, the irony of soldier 76 calling him old man.
Sigma honestly looks younger than soldier
Sombra isn’t really a part of talon though she’s not really loyal to them
@@spellls185 talon seems like an organization where the higher ups are trying to fulfill their own goals and interests and only cooperate as to not get their heads beaten in by their boss.
Sombra iirc has been revealed that she actually works under Overwatch but is undercover in Talon. I gotta double check my sources though
@@NoobsiferPainting wouldn't surprise me if she was associated with every major organization considering how useful her skills are in a futuristic society.
God I love sigma.
And I feel so god damn bad about how badly people treats him.
Sigma was one of my favorite characters when he was introduced, and he still is. Glad to see they've added some voice lines, they add a lot of personality for him and I appreciate it a lot. Especially his interactions with Moira and Sombra.
i never realised you could hear voices when using kinetic Grasp 😮
the voices are hungry the voices are hungry the voices are hungr
He used to say "The dragon has been consumed" when eating Hanzo's ult
When he first released, people with Schizophrenia complained some of his sound effects were upsetting (no joke)
You can hear voices during his ultimate, as well. He used to have voices on ALL HIS MOVES during launched and it was changed cause it was too creepy lmao
@@hondsdollekat 😳
I like how he’s goofy and eccentric in the spawn room, but for eliminations he’s stone cold and aloof. He’s also completely terrifying when he loses composure
It's really interesting how nearly everyone in Talon seems to be being setup to leave at some point.
Moira pressing Widow about seemingly beginning to regain emotions and secretly planning something.
Sombra was never really fully bought in and dislikes some of their methods.
Sigma is very likely to have some sort of redemption where he realizes that he's being used, maybe with Sombra's help.
Reaper also has been thinking about his wife as we see in voice lines and that one Christmas comics plus old overwatch still sees good and him and believe that he can change.
I'm really interested in where the PvE will take them.
Just got to wait several decades before blizzard gives the first mission
@@Deathstroke-gd6kdor wait forever now
@@emma6648 yep. Don't play the game anymore though. Waste of storage space on my laptop.
I wish Sigma and Junkrat had more voice lines, just the two of them spiraling down into madness
I think junkrat and sigma unlikely would just nerd out, junkrat is smarter than anyone think he is, dude, how do you produce a high efficiency grenades and weapon to toss them with, a mine that if jumped on right doesn't deal damage to the owner and a controlled tire from trash and car parts?!
Not only that but he must be a chemical genius, because his bombs aren't to scoff at, and remember, he lived in junkertown, a town with limited resources, he must have some kind of formula for these, he also mentions that to Moira.
It'd them both being crazy science nerds together
Well there is one thing junkrat saying to sigma when he eliminates him. "That! Was for not taking me to space when I asked! " That means they've met before at some point. Maybe before junkrat goes crazy or after but. The two probably see each other in the lore.
Sombra protecting my boy has undone six years of hate, STAN QUEEN
I love sigma and junkrat being some of the nicest people you’ll meet and they get so mistreated
Then they go deranged the moment they leave spawn lmao
One will tell you about the newest paradox he thought up, the second will ask if you eat your own toenails
@@thescoundrel2 junkrat is a genius still tho, it wasn't his choice he was likely raised in radioactive wasteland, dude can create high efficiency weapons from literal garbage and car parts, a working prosthetic arm and a peg leg that most likely is used to help him propel himself more easily with his mines, and a controlled tire that is so jam packed with explosives it literally kills everyone who's not resistant enough to take the blow ALL FROM CAR PARTS AND TRASH
He's also great with chemicals, he mentions that to Moira, and I mean, he must be, explosives are nothing but chemical reaction with a trigger
Junkrat is just weird because the town he lived in was just as weird
How he changes from sweet forgetful gramps to brutal scientist is amazing.
Feeling like sigma and sombre are going to have a very good story
I hope we get to hear more of sigma's fearful voice, the voice actor is so great at it
I laughed when Sigma said he meant the iris and Zenyatra was either confused or baffeled.
Draw!
I felt a chill!
The Dragon has been consumed!
Justice has embraced me!
I have harnessed the harness!
Gravity is shackled!
Dang! You were busy last night!
So glad they’re really leaning into Sigma’s insane side. It remains both light-hearted and really concerning.
I like how at 6:13 even Zenn is made uncomfortable by how loony Sigma is
Imagine being a priest for all of your life only to hear this one random guy say he’s met your god. Of course he’s a little weirded out.
@@r.0.b.429 I assume he sees meet iris in his mind in that accident which turn him into him
"An ant on the ceiling. Where are you going, little friend? Oh there's another one. What delightful little creatures."
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
1. Sombra seems to be concerned for the grandad of the group
2. Is the Zeno's paradox thing accurate?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes
The term is Meno’s Paradox, which postulates that the ability of humanity to question is inherently incomplete. It has served as part of the basis for the theory of recollection and the three definitions of virtue.
Junkrat is a savant, while practically incompetent at many things, he's virtually a genius in very specific areas.
Someone else already explained it, but it is weird that they referred to the wrong paradox. It could just be that Junkrat just got it wrong, but it seems odd to reference his knowledge of philosophy only for him to get thay reference incorrect.
Zeno's paradox is completely different from what Sigma said. It basically goes something like this- if you are walking to a door, you can walk until you are halfway there. Then you walk until you're halfway to it from where you're standing now. Then halfway from there. According to logic, since there are an infinite number of halfways, you will never reach the door, thus it is a paradox.
@@jaspertaylor2810 ohhh. Maybe they named it wrong for copyright or junkrat remembered wrong
4:55 the way he says "charming" is quite charming
Appreciate your work bro!! Loving it all
Can’t wait for Soujorn
I do like how Orisa, even though she hates talon and it’s people, isn’t aggressive with Sigma. Since she possibly can sense his innocence that she is built to protect in her city
I love how Sigma is just ADHD personified. Man literally stares at an ant on the ceiling instead of listening to Soldier.
It’s also explained that Talon basically has him ignore any semblance of “You’re being trapped!” with his cybernetics, specially expunging figures like Soldier 76 by manifesting something else to get his attention (Like fairies or ants in soldiers case)
I think there’s a different, more chilling subtext to his dialogue with Soldier.
“Snap out of it old man, Talon is using you!”
“An ant, on the ceiling! Where are you going, little friend?”
This line, while sounding completely disconnected from context, actually holds a great deal of meaning and insight into Sigma’s sub-consciousness. He’s stating that he’s playing along with Talon, which he views as a cute, harmless entity, out of simple curiosity for where their mission will lead them.
The sideways manner in which he responds to 76 is a show of his disdain for the notion that he’s being used. It’s so nonsensical that it doesn’t even warrant a straight answer.
“Hey! I’m talking to you!”
“Oh there’s another one! What delightful creatures.”
A sarcastic and contemptuous response to 76’s attempt to get his attention, effectively amounting to him saying “how cute”.
@@fakename2926 most likely if they ever expand on sigmas story it would be revealed that talon was never actually able to take away his free will and he tries to kill them because they were only needed as a means to acheiving his true goals
He doesn’t have adhd 😂 He’s fucking crazy
As somebody with ADHD, I can confirm. My brain is a bunch of tangled wires.
god i'd KILL to know more about sigma's backstory. he needs a proper animated short, NOW!
Definitely seems more tragic this time around, as opposed to insane evil.
It thrills me to put aside my work and humor your brilliant videos, Proto. It thrills me.
The switch between his lighter and more fun personality and his darker side is just fucking amazing
6:06 "AH, APPLIED SCIENCE!"
fucking gold
Kind words 😃 Thank you! 😁👍
his voice actor did an amazing job at sounding like he’s in a constant state of confusion
Kinda like my cat.
@@unevennoble9363 ☠️
The friendship between Sombra, Sigma and Junkrat needs more lore!
sigma has such a unique personality and i love it
i’ve only just noticed the echo on sigmas voice, adds to his whole instability idea :)
6:18 Love how Zenyatta looked around when Sigma said that there are no repulsors detected
I love the contrast between being a precious bean to his team and being absolute sadistically evil to the enemy team at the same time
He’s such a sweetheart! No wonder why he’s my favorite tank hero! 🖤
Waiting for the day we would be able to get Kiriko interactions
They'd have to get some Symmetra interactions first.
I love how his lines in the spawn room shows his curious and wholesome “Dr.” personality along with his naive personality gained from being imprisoned not only physically but mentally, and then his elimination lines are all cold hearted and viscous like the personality he has gotten from working with Talon
When Junkrat replied to sigma and said "ahhh Xeno's paradox" It reminds me of that one friend who is stupid but surprises you every now and then when he actually says something smart
That Winston elimination line was brutal
I loved the interaction between him and Lucio since in his backstory he mentions a melody and here he calls lucio’s music distracting
7:15 NAW HE WRONG FOR THAT ONE 💀
I am loving all of his and Moira’s musings!!!! I’m a rein/sigma main so it’s great to see
Sigma in normal conversation: inquiring about weird questions and being a strange kind man
Sigma when he kills someone: violating them to he point of bullying
Sombra and sigmas friendship is so wholesome I love it.
I like to imagine that a part of Sigma that is still self-aware purposefully thinks up these philosophical questions just to irritate Moira
The zenyatta interaction is funny to me because it feels like either the Iris is something zen hasnt met or that zen made it up and feels weird that someone is out grifting him.
I think it's more likely that the Iris is not an entity but a spiritual force, so it wouldn't make sense to meet it.
@@danclypse The Iris is basically a State of Enlightenment. So, you could technically meet with it, by meeting any being who has achieved the status, or by merely approaching the state of being yourself. Sigma hears the universe itself, I wouldn't be surprised if the supernatural wasn't creeping into him as well.
Sombra is so attached to that man and it's sweet. The outcasts have imprinted on each other, sir. Look at them. They've found their family.
I like Sigma’s random inquiries, they get me thinking and scratching my head like “Woah, is he on to something, or are we all crazy?”
Tbh, I'm a big Sigma fan. Love his character.
I love sigma. I feel bad that eveyone is so mean to him :(
Hoping they do stuff with my boy Sigma in the Story Mode. He is such a goofy guy. I love him
Him and Sombra are like a caring daughter and a father that is slowly losing himself to Alzheimer’s/Dementia. It’s such an unexpected friendship, but makes sense.
1:12
i feel a hint of sadness
maybe he can drown out the "melody" with other music
7:17
“Like father, Like son”
Nahh 😭😭💀💀💀
I absolutely love eldrich grandpa
Damn idk if the fact that there are tank interactions show the dedication to create a story out of the voice lines or if they did these before they decided on 5v5
I love how Zen sounds so fucking pissed when Sigma says he's met the iris
Sigma would probably wan't to hear Winstons joke about the periodic table
I only just noticed this but when he used his kinetic grasp (absorb) you hear whispers.
That's terrifying
I'm pretty sure there's a line when absorbing pharah ULT
"Justice rains from above!"
"Justice has embraced me!"
7:37 I think I've heard this outside of shutting down Deadeye. It's a kill quote, I just can't 100% remember when. It might just be when killing Cassidy, but I'm not sure.
Simga has amazing voice lines, but my favorite interaction has to be the one with Soldier. Just: "Hey, you're being used" while Sigma's over here looking at some ants on a ceiling, giving a grand total of zero craps.
I also managed to get the line from stopping Genji's ult in unranked. I'm not sure if it needs to be the rock specifically or just killing him with the ult active, but it's an amazing line.
His interactions with Sombra are also surprisingly wholesome.
Sombra: You got to stop frying his brain.
Moira: I'm helping him.
Sigma: *Says all the things in the video*
Moira: OK....you got a point.
“Stop making the hamster sound boring.” 😂
Da king is back baby he neva miss
The way Sigma sounds in the lobby compared to when he eliminates someone is so scary. He goes from a curious and kind scientist to a cold, insulting killer. Almost as if his other personalities switch when fighting.
There is another line when he absorbs Zarya's ult: "I have harnessed the harness."
I love how even zennyata is confused about how to deal with sigma.
When using Kinetic Grasp and wearing headphones, it sounds like there’s voices whispering to you
