Here's something I noticed myself in-game today to add to the useless fact pile: Lucio has an emote called A Suave Gift where he takes out some flashing reindeer glasses and puts them on. If you have his Ribbit, Hippityhop or Poison Dart skins equipped, where he has a big frog helmet on, the glasses will be bigger to fit over the helmet's eyes.
3:17 I'm so glad rein saying "hewwo" wasn't a fever dream. I heard it a few weeks ago and thought I was going crazy, especially since everyone else in discord told me they didn't hear it, lol. Edit: "this is a reference to Balatro" LOL
As well as Kiri's voice actress (Sally Amaki) voicing Peni in Marvel Rivals, Juno's voice actress (Xanthe Huynh) voices Dagger, Soldier's voice actor (Fred Tatasciore) voices Hulk, and the voice actor for the payload on Hollywood (Travis Willlingham) voices Thor in Marvel Rivals!
Moira’s custom ult voiceline shows up in the season 9 PVE (Cosmic Crisis, I believe the name was) interestingly enough. If my memory serves me correctly, she shouts “Surrender your soul”.
Love this content! It feels rare to see genuine love for Overwatch these days lol. Also, Moira saying just "hi" in an irritated tone is cuter than it should be.
you don't understand how this feeds me, overwatch is the closest thing to a hyperfixation for me, I have never played the game, but I watch every patch video, every update, every new voice line like it's a reality show or sum
The glitchbot that's in the payload/limo on Hollywood has unique voicelines about the first hero to touch the point and I haven't seen anyone talk about it. Cool little detail.
9:56 the reason behind this is that moira transfers decay energy from her right hand to her left, and as she runs out of said energy she’s trying to use every single bit of what’s left
Thank you as always for the amazing content Niandra! You make some of the best and most unique OW videos out there:) And I hope you’re feeling better soon! As amazing as your content is we’ll understand if you want to take a break
When Mercy throws a basketball through the hoop in spawn, she will automatically use her "piece of cake" voiceline if you have it equipped. Happy new year everyone!
Not sure if anyone else has noticed on Hanaoka - in one of the ramen shops the numbers above the little singular cubicles is numbered wrong - I believe it goes 1,2,3,4,4,5
It is always a nice day when we get a full Niandra video. Also, I've been loving the shorts. Sometimes it takes me a while to watch a new video, but I can usually squeeze in a short pretty easily.
Hey, I love your long-form content and I literally don't have a tiktok so I don't get any of those, just wanna say take care of yourself and do what you can when you can at your own pace! Love your stuff
The Mauga ult one is simple - back in the day when he was released, multiple of his ults were possible, but one day Emongg was in a match where 2 echos copied the Maugas and there were 4 mauga ults that crashed the game
8:40 I made comments on this a couple months ago. That it sucks she didn’t have custom spears for every single one. Then Randomly the day it happens I just so happen to check the spears and see the update. I was surprised.
I'm glad you've been changing your content to better help with your health this year ; o ; Sorry to hear its been rough, but thank you for all of these fact videos and shorts!! They're always so fun to watch whether I learn something new or go "eheheh I know that one!! 😈💗" These always have that old Overwatch excitement about them that I miss
The Widowmaker/Luna interaction where Widowmaker says that when Luna sings, she can almost feel something - that one used to be live back in Overwatch 1. As a Widowmaker main, I heard it fairly often, and miss it.
The crazy prices in the American movie theater are a reference to how completely unhinged movie theater concession prices specifically had gotten. It's basically a meme, but yeah the US is f'd now.
I wonder why they only made Kiri's voiceline rare. Orisa has a couple voice lines with variations, Current Outlook (as stated) and Annual Performance Analysis.
I dont know if anyone knows this. But in the spawn point with the basketball hoop. Characters that can climb/jump can actually stand on the basket ball hoop. Characters like lucio, pharah and ashe. Haven't tried the others.
On the topic of MR voice actors, Fred Tatasciore, the voice of Soldier is also the mainstay voice of the Hulk which he also portrays in the game. And Xanthe Huynh, the voice of Juno, is also the voice of Dagger.
Love your content Niandra, not sure if you’ve already covered it but just like the kiriko voice line that has multiple options, wrecking ball also has one for his fortune voice line as well, unfortunately mine always turns up as bad luck because I play wrecking ball 😅
The film company logo from Hollywood is a WoW reference but so is the name. Goldshire is an early human location (for the old spawn before new accounts had to start at the broken isle)
I wrote an old fanfiction about Mario the pizza guy from the Midtown map, some time before overwatch 2 released and just found it again yesterday. I just needed to tell somone.
with the colab going on it's missed opportunity to say that Wrecking Balls voice actor (Dee Bradley Baker) also does Momo and Appa in Avatar the Last Airbender!
ashe's voice actor, jennifer hale, is in a lot of cartoons & anime dubs! i love watching random dubbed animes and hearing ow voice actors. like, "hey, i know who that is." torb's voice actor, keith silverstein, is also in a lot of dubbed animes!
@@maneater I had a video breakdown of Mighty Med playing in the back ground while doing chores and was surprised to hear that Sym's VA, Anjali Bhimani, played a character. The UA-camr played a clip of her saying "I don't like you" and I was caught off guard since I was only listening. Sounded exactly like Sym and something she would say lol I love finding familiar voices/faces!
always throws me off when I hear someone with a non American accent try and pronounce water with an American accent, makes me feel bad how the sterotypes and the memes have bullied us into not being ourselves @4:52
i love you niandra!! we’ll watch you no matter what content you make because you’ve always been such a beacon of positivity in the OW community! 💕 hope your health is on the up
I still don't know why we don't have the mercy ult voiceline, like...her current one does NOT fit the mythic.
Fr like let me be eeeeeevil
Sigma, Moira:
I think it’s stupid since they’ve changed ult voice lines in the past. LOOK AT THE SHIMADA BROTHERS
in mirrorwatch gamemode its vengeance never dies
@@itfloyd_official yeah the game mode, but not in the reg game mods??? It's ridiculous 😭 this game company is so lazy
ELITE
3:15 Hazard also has a rare voiceline but its for his "group up" in it he says "Group up ya silly billies" its so funny i wish it was more common
I took off my 'group up' bind in favor of 'fall back' - i see now i must revert this mistake
ELITE face-purple-crying
Is it weird that I read it in Hazard's voice in my head? Eh this voice line just adds more reasons for me to love him
2:17 Cassidy when you ask him how close it is to noon
pffft i laughed at this harder than i should have
ELITE face-purple-crying

The cutoff for Balatro though 😂
Overwatch predicted balatro??
Here's the timestamp :) 7:41

that venture and genji interaction is the cutest thing ever
Ik im really sad it got censored for my account 😞

Sooooo the voice actors jumped ship and joined Marvel Rivals. Nice.
Are you all babies?. They are voice actor/actress their job is to voice games, anime and other things. They have no favoritism.
@@ZeroOne130 oh, I thought it was a joke.
10:37 Sorry to hear that you live in the UK. I hope you get well soon!
sounds like living in the UK is the illness 😁
Not getting custom mythic voice lines on all mythics, especially Mercy and Moira is CRIMINAL.
Edit: nice to see you again, I love these videos :3
Moira’s custom ult voiceline shows up in the season 9 PVE (Cosmic Crisis, I believe the name was) interestingly enough. If my memory serves me correctly, she shouts “Surrender your soul”.
There’s also Sigma’s “The universe bows to me”
ELITE face-purple-crying
@@schizophreniathesociopath400 yes !! they literally have it, WHY did they not implement it ?!
Love this content! It feels rare to see genuine love for Overwatch these days lol.
Also, Moira saying just "hi" in an irritated tone is cuter than it should be.
When Moira says it, it appears in the subtitles with quotes around it too.
1:37 SO THEY JUST GAVE THE SKIN TO KIRIKO??? THAT WOULD OF BEEN SO SMART IF ASHE GOT IT?????

thats like the most well known and oldest easter egg in overwatch
@ArdaSReal I don't remember him making hero specific comments before but maybe I just never noticed until Overwatch 2. 🤣
9:56 the reason behind this is that moira transfers decay energy from her right hand to her left, and as she runs out of said energy she’s trying to use every single bit of what’s left
"Oh shit, 2014"
That's when you learn that you're becoming old
Theres a rare voiceline for Cassidy when you remind people of his ultimate
Instead of it saying
My ultimate is ready
He says
You know what time it is
Not sure if it's been a thing but came across it a while back
I heard this voice line only like twice and it's always fun to hear it in my opinion
WOOOO NIANDRA POSTED
HIS NAME WAS ACTUALLY TIMMY?? DUDE I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST A COMMUNITY-WIDE BIT WHAT THE HELL LOL
Thank you as always for the amazing content Niandra! You make some of the best and most unique OW videos out there:)

Not hating on Rivals or its fans/players, but shoutout to Niandra for being one of the few OW creators who stayed true ❤
Literally every ow creator still plays ow ;-;
@@F1_soap Not what I said.
Have a great day!
4:10 ive notice this long time ago, and also pink mercy have the ow1 beam in highlight intros

The word "ايمان" indeed means faith or believe, but for some reason its written and mirrored next to it
I feel like mercy mythic ult voice line would sound really cool with something like "talon will rise"
0:19 yo Mei has foamposites?? 😂
that's so messed up that the spray of Tracer and Emily is blocked from POTG....
THE "this is a reference to balatro!" GOT ME SO HARD LOL
im not sure if youll see this or if anyone commented it BUT in the samoa maps the basketballs in the plane change into coconuts lol
That Venture and Genii interaction is literally the cutest omg
When did cringe and cute become the same thing?
Nah, delete venture

Not once in my life have i ever hear soldier go "what's poppin?"
The cass intro is perfect.
Damn, I love how many little details there are in Overwatch. Thanks for the video!
“This is a reference to Balatro” LMAO

I bet your going be great in marvel rivals ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh no... there is no escape from kiriko huh...
1:42 oh dear, not the existencial crisis
Always a good day when Niandra uploads. Happy new year everyone!
something you missed about sojourn's cozy skin. the little murphy on top of her gun jiggles. anyway, great video as always. hope you have a good 2025!
5:37 I don't think genji got the joke
great video! i hope your health improves ❤
1:43 the reality check about your own age is so real
0:01 Blizzard try to not be homophobic challenge
they already added all this gay shit so
One of their two queer sprays not showing is crazy lol
Juno‘s Voice actress also Has a role in Marvel Rivals. She voices dagger 🥰
please dont stop making these, i love these useless facts/easter eggs for overwatch
Lmaooo the balatro reference got me off guard 😭😭
I think a useless fact would be that mauga had more interactions on release with other tanks than with the rest of the cast 😅
I don’t play overwatch anymore but I still love watching your videos ❤
Ok so about Ashe VA, she also voices Thorn from the Scooby Doo for the past 24 years
ashe's voice actor, jennifer hale, is in a lot of cartoons & anime dubs! i love watching random dubbed animes and hearing ow voice actors. like, "hey, i know who that is." torb's voice actor, keith silverstein, is also in a lot of dubbed animes!

8:31 Shame, since that would be a fun detail if they still kept it.
I believe it was removed for gameplay reasons since it could block a lot of shots
This made me smile. Thanks!
With that voice it could be 300 useless facts and i'll still see it
Pretty sure zen also has the only epic victory pose with the one reading the book from the season 5BP
this video made me realise i missed getting the free katara mei skin
OMGG SHE HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!
7:25 i thought she was going to say OH FU- 💀
that echo /muaga one wasnt useless, thats actually kinda useful!
The arena thing really suprised me cuz i thoght i knew everything
Are you going to be play marvel rivals? Would love to hear your thoughts about it and their support characters
"you're splitting focus Stan!"
Omg i waited so long yesterday i watched all of the old ones again😅
Matt Mercer, Xanthe Hyunh and Sally Amaki are all in Marvel Rivals and OW2
For 82 there's also another critter on 1st point near the stair case 😅
thanks niandra overwatrch i found these overwatch 2 facts very useful!
Solidar 76 is also in Marvel Rivals as Hulk
i love these videos so much
Venture telling a joke...
Genji
Also Marvel's Dagger is the same VA as Overwatch's Juno
1:12 this actually looks like a moon crescent, maybe thats why it has moving stars?
Juno also voices Dagger in RIvals :D
