Wow, for someone who faced discrimination, abuse and hardship from humans you'd think ramattra would be more hateful, cold or harsh toward the human characters of the game but he's actually really polite.
See I also thought that was weird as hell at first but he IS also in kahoots with Talon/Doomfist, so I imagine he has some level of tolerance and cooperation despite yknow, wanting humans dead.
You know I’m surprised that Ramattra has no interactions with Ashe, considering she has an omnic butler. Even an interaction if friendly BOB gets a kill
Imagine a scene in the future storymode where Ram tries to get through to BOB, and although he fails (because Ashe needs to be able to keep her ult somehow) for a split second he considers going against his programming, and Ashe realizes just how fucked she would be if BOB decided to go rogue on her
I REALLY dig the idea that he actually seems to respect Orisa and doesn't want to fight with her. She was built to protect Numbani, one of the few places in the world where human and omnic coexist peacefully as equals, which is a goal that Ram ultimately wants to reach with Null Sector. It validates the idea that he genuinely prioritizes protecting omnickind over starting a war using Null Sector, and is also just really sweet?
The goal of Null Sector is not humans and omnics living together. Null Sector seeks the salvation of all omnics through the destruction of most/all humans.
@@maxeon0937 That's his goal, but not his underlying philosophy. Violence is merely a means to an end to achieve a world where omnics can survive without the sins of humanity making them suffer. Numbani is emblematic of that peace for omnics in that humans genuinely get along with them, hence (again) why he doesn't have any personal motivation to make an enemy out of them in general or Orisa in specific.
@@maxeon0937 Ultimately, Ramattra wants peace and safety for Omnics. In Numbani, that exists, and thus despite viewing Orisa as "shackled" to Efi, he has no quarrel with her, or Numbani in general. As for the rest of the world... there is too much lingering hatred, resentment, bitterness and bigotry. He chooses the path of war because it's the only path he can see to reach his goals.
@@maxeon0937 The goal of null sector is very much humans and Omnics living together. Same with the monks. It's how they go about it that separates them. As with Ramattra and Zenyatta, Ying and yang, violence and peace.
Untrue. Null Sector's goal is essentially Omnic nationalism; they want to carve out a place in the world where they can live without worrying about humans threatening them, and Ramattra is willing to birth that place out of the blood of the human race is necessary. If he'd get his way, there'd be no coexistence. There would be humans and there would be Omnics, but they would never interact with one another.
Low key, Junkrat is slowly rising as one of my new favorite characters. He's crazy, but genuinely a nice guy. He's always being really friendly to all the other characters and I think his amicability really shines when the other characters are disrespectful to him but he still treats them nicely all the same. He might not know they are being mean to him which is why he's still nice but I think this ignorance still speaks good of Junkrat. If you don't even know that others are being mean to you it means you lack that meanness in yourself. Sure Junkrat hates omnibus but even then, it might just be because of how he was raised in an Australian wasteland where Omnics were the enemy and scapegoated for everything.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi He basically lost his parents to the omnic crisis so ofc he has a grudge against them, but some of the new lines seem to make him more open to interacting with them AND A WHOLE LOT OF them kinda make it seem like he 'might' be part of Overwatch now. He always was my favorite, these giggles and laughs are just funny and he is overall a very cartoony character. I think it is like you said - he's nice to everyone because everyone else thinks he's a weirdo, gets bullied etc. he's killing them with friendlieness
His "You must learn to block, brother!" gives me Loki vibes. I also love how angry and menacing he is when he shuts down Pharah's ultimate. Reminds me of Hanzo's "You dare, to lecture me about honor?! You are not worthy, to say his name!"
Ramattra is one of the most interesting characters they’ve made in years. He’s the founder of a violent terrorist cell, yet… his interactions show a different side of him. His Bastion one was brilliant, he’s initially confused as to why Ganymede follows him around, and after hearing the explanation, he doesn’t mock him or act weirded out. He understands and is nice about it, saying he’ll look out for sticks for his friend. It goes beyond Omnics too, where he even takes part in the banter between human characters. He’s such an interesting character- Blizzard knocked it out of the park with him.
He's the founder of a violent terrorist cell, true and, at the same time, he never forgot about listening people. He's terribly biased, but that doesn't stop him of hearing out everyone. And, maybe that's the reason he dislikes God Programs such as Anubis: he learned to appreciate freedom in his own terms (the Tekhartas helped) but, even if Anubis is able to restart the Omniums, he knows that that's a new synthetic live with the price of eternal servitude. And he would never accept that for his Omnic kin. In other words, he's not chaotic evil, he's neutral evil (at the same level as Doctor Doom? I hope the comparison is sound).
The way I see it he wants equality, probably even peace with humanity, but to achieve this he chose violence So he's not hateful for humans, but he encourages his people to take their places with force and is a prime example of it
@@franciscoguinledebarros4429 The only thing wrong with Ramattra's dream...is how he goes about it. Equality for Omnics/to build a place where they can be free of hate and discrimination is a lovely goal and it sounds like he's tried to further this goal through peaceful venues before he turned to violence.
@@DarkOmegaZero violence is more often than not necessary when it comes to a revolution from an oppressed group. you can't achieve equality by apeasing the oppressors
@@DarkOmegaZero In Ramattra’s defense, it’s hard to blame him too much for choosing violence when his people keep getting killed just for being who they are.
So much depth to him. He has a very polite facade, but is so anxious to have his own biases proven, there's some true bitterness beneath it all. He shows his true colors when interacting with Genji or getting most of his eliminations.
I mean the dude is frustrated with his people and humans. His real honesty comes through his zenyatta lines where he calmly explains how he wishes his people would look up and dream. He doesn’t like genji because he isn’t entirely sold on the man’s loyalty to the Omnic people. (You know since he’s an Overwatch member)
A one dimensional villain would say ants are their favorite animal because they're small and easy to crush. Rammatra actually feels inspired by the small creatures and gives a legitimate reason why he likes ants.
and its relatable to his situation as well, if him and other omnics stand together as a single force they are a unstoppable force similar to that of ants
i mean he also did say they comply when threatened💀💀. saying things like their small and easy to crush doesn't inherently make a villain one dimensional
Actually, Zenyatta does 'breathe', like in his hero select animation. It's likely they imitate breathing in order to better meditate, and it's become a habit.
Ramattra's voice is so unique and his approach is fascinating. He can be menacing when he chooses to yet stays polite until someone attacks him. I love his voiceline when he respawns after being killed by Zen. He says "You too brother?" in such a betrayed and saddened tone, it made my heart hurt
If Ramattra was to be described as a human/described his character in a nutshell, I feel like it would be; Intimidating features/looks, but overall, has a polite and respectable demeanor
Well Ramattra doesn't really hate Humans. He hates those who oppress him and his kind, the obvious majority being Humans. So in short, he doesn't hate Humans. He just hates those oppressing him or those being aligned with someone doing so.
Ok thing I love about Ramattra. He could have been this edgy I hate all humans type. But they didn't go with that route. Instead making him judgemental. But also with a sense of humor. And sometimes With polite interactions like with Hanzo. Makes him way more interesting.
I love how complicated his relationship is with Zen and how it’s reflected in how varied his interactions are. Also interesting that he and Orisa don’t have direct interactions considering how much he compliments her in game.
I think it could be about the fact Orisa actively protects all (including humans) with then numbani being a bizarre amalgamation of his ideals; i do hope they get interactions :0
@@tacosconchile2129 I was killed by Zen as Rama in a match earlier today and heard it for the first time and his tone totally caught me off guard how genuinely pained it was 😢
I like how one of his kill quotes of Orisa is him apologizing since he 'had no quarrel' with her. I can only assume this is because he knows Orisa was reconstructed from an older Numbani model that was destroyed during Doomfist's retrieval of his gauntlet.
@@geraldthegoose1685 No, no. Doomfist got the gauntlet when he infiltrated Numbani, Ramattra probably heard of his attack (same as he did for the Junkers against the omnics in Australia) so that's why he feels more remorse when killing Orisa which is why he apologizes.
It's not just that; Orisa is the defender of Numbani, a city where humans and omnic do in fact coexist peacefully, a dynamic that Ram ultimately strives for. He seems to genuinely respect Orisa because she's a good person who helps maintain that sacred peace, and thus doesn't want to fight her.
@@Number9Robotic I agree. It seems like Ramattra would all too happily show his respect for Orisa and her "birthplace" if they ever get an interaction. And that Ram will have a very heartwarming reaction line to being placed in a Numbani map, or even airing his doubts about joining Doomfist after what he did to the OR-15s that once guarded the city.
@@Cervarius_K The whole character feels a lot like Aatrox because it leans a lot into hatred and vengence, but with a militaristic/race war twist to it, instead of the suicidal, destructive PTSD-ish lore of Aatrox. No complaints from me tho, i love these kinds of characters.
I like his character. He’s normal in a real world sense. A person with goals will use everything at their disposal if the opportunity presents itself to achieve it. That and he understands what’s a waste of energy and what’s not.
when a zenyatta eliminated me, upon respawning i heard ramattra say “you too, brother?” in a very heartbroken way edit: got another interesting voice line today too! if he’s the first to respawn after a team wipe, he says “alone…once more” or smth like that
He also says this when he respawns in Hollywood: *"I refused to die in a movie set"* Referring if he has a role of a main protag or a main antag of the movie if he's casted as.
When Ramattra has a kill quote, you can see Zenyattas head is pointing up, has a rounder head, and a yellow “jaw” symbolizing harmony. Ramattra on the other hand his head points down, he has a more triangle shaped head, and has a purple “jaw” symbolizing discord. I don’t know how true that is but I just thought of it and thought it might say something.
Furthermore, both their ultimate are big AOEs, but while one heals, the other hurts. These characters are the antithesis to each other in almost every eay
Ramattra's curved and sharp jaw symbolizes discord and violence as, if need be, may be used like a knife while Zenyatta's is smooth which may symbolize peace and harmony.
His interactions with Zen are so interesting to me, because even though they are on different paths, he doesn't seem to hate him for it. And he's suprisingly friendly with a lot of the roster. Sure I might never get to play him because I doubt I'll get to level 45, but it's good to know that personality-wise Blizz haven't lost their touch
thankfully they’ve added a free way to get them after the battle pass, with kiriko you can unlock her by doing something like 30 games as support and then a few easy things in the practise range. at that’s kinda good i guess
@@crumpet._.7395 That not terrible, I agree. It's just annoying that I can't actually *see* the challenges, since I already had all three season 1 heroes unlocked
Yes, you can see in the corner text saying he has many responses, such as serving coffee, driving a tractor, or collecting payments at a laser tag arena. I think the whole point of why Zenyatta gives different responses and why it's confirmed all of them are lies, is because what he used to do doesn't matter. Who he is now, and what he does now is what matters.
i feel bad for Genji, he’s still so insecure and self-conscious that he even doubts why Zenyatta helped him, even though he’s the one who went to Genji to help :(
I like how Baptiste knows of Ramattra's dislike of humans and acknowlages it instead of mocking or feeding off of it like some other characters would. Truely one of the nicest blokes in the cast.
I particularly like his interaction with Junker Queen. He’s all ready to show her up with his abilities and skills, but Queen just shuts him down by saying she’s taken on others of his model type.
There is a good reason why the omnics made such a powerful enemy, their units killing efficiency is probably very frightening, especially the fact Ramattra is a combat unit.
I was expecting Ramattra and Orisa to have pre-game interactions, but if they do based on Ramattra's quote on witnessing eliminations. Orisa wouldn't like him because Efi is basically Orisa's family and what drives her to be better
Interesting that Ramattra tries to have a little small talk with Pharah despite her humanity. I guess he has a little bit more respect for her than most others since Helix is the one keeping Anubis in check.
Ooh I've been waiting for this!! Thanks for putting these videos together as always! Ramattra's voicelines/interactions are so cool to listen to! Love how tense he is with almost all humans and then Lucio's all like 'favorite animal! go!' gotta love the wholesome frog man xD Also as a support main, Ramattra making fun of Rein charging into the enemy line is too deeply felt!!
I know it’s a generic voice line but it’s nice to see Lucio not trying to antagonize Ramattra like others do. Makes it better seeing Ramattra give an actual answer too.
I like most of these, but the one with Hanzo stood out to me, because it actually feels like there's hidden meaning to Hanzo's words. When he says firearms make killing too simple, I don't take that as him saying it doesn't challenge him enough to be satisfying, at least not entirely. I think there's also a hint of him wanting to make it harder simply because he doesn't actually like to kill but he realizes how good he is at it and doesn't want to risk using something so efficient that he could go too far and kill more than necessary. Kind of a Batman vibe. Restraining himself because he's worried that he couldn't stop himself if he didn't. And I like that one with Junkrat. "You are not a journalist." Like he actually would have liked to speak to him if he was a real journalist. Which he honestly probably would.
When I was first saw him(didn't watch the trailer), I expect Ramattra's voice to be deep, raspy, emphasizing his villainous aura. 🤖 Then comes his voice... it's surprisingly soothing.
Ramattra so far is my favourite character, I just love listening to his voice and voicelines, that one when he kills Rein made me smile and sad since I also play Rein. He's a villain for sure, but not just any clichê villain, he's a bad guy cuz that's the only way to secure a future for his own kind, he tried the peaceful way. He doesn't mind working with humans that are somewhat useful. I just wonder if one day, Ramattra will learn about Mondatta's death.
@@LuisSilvaTF2 I honestly expected Ramattra and Tracer to have a voice line together. If anything, considering her voice line “maybe the world would’ve been better off it it were me instead of him” from the first game with Genji, I’d imagine it going like this. Tracer: A lot of times I wish I took the bullet for Mondatta. Ramattra: As much as I miss him, wishing suicide on yourself will not bring him back. Don’t be so hard on yourself Tracer: That spider will pay for this Ramattra: Indeed she will
The vocal fry and emotion in "I had no quarrel with you. I'm sorry." After killing an Orisa just made me love Ramattra even more. He chose peace and harmony and the humans showed that it would never be enough. He learned their language and proceeds to mock them in their own tongue, but he does not hate them all and if he could achieve what he wanted without violence he would have. He does not want violence and he even less wants violence against artificial life. Be they Omnic, Robot/Android, or Sentient War Machine.
He's a lot more nuanced than I thought. I'd love to see him interact with torb, Reinhart, Soldier, Tracer, and a group interaction with orisa,zen,Bastion,and echo. Y'know like junker queens but with Omnics
I still love how his Genji kill quotes always show one thing: he HATES servitude, not of omnics but of humans as well. He doesn't see Genji as Zen's student, he sees him as Zen's servant. Additionally he's suffered so much that something like being a cyborg isn't worthy of pity in his eyes. He wants people and omnics to be equal, so he doesn't like the relationship Genji and Zen have in his perspective
I love how they design Ramattra. Most characters like him are 1 dimensional in their "I hate [X Group]!" traits, but he's quite polite and outright kind in many of his interactions. A welcome change of pace.
My favorite characters somehow are mostly omnics Zennyatta, ramattra, bastion, Echo, orisa,wrecking ball, sigma and mei 4 omnics, 2 humana and 1 hamster
Sigmas and ramattras VA’s have to be some of the best I’ve ever heard in a game or even in media as a whole…definitely my favorites in the game…so much emotion and character is backed up intro those voices…
Personally, I like his interactions with Pharah the most. It’s clear she’s profiling him because he’s an Omnic, and while yes, he is leading an extremist group, he’s still polite with the people he works with. Deep down, I know he would still like to find and make peace with humans. However, it’s people like Pharah that make it difficult with their assumptions, she just isn’t the ones who are violent about it. At least without being given an OKAY. Extremist do what they do when they’re pushed to the limit, and I think Pharah’s interactions with him are almost like the tip of the iceburg with Null Sector as a whole.
I personally love the little human elements they add to his speech, such as that sigh he makes when talking with Zen, though he wouldn't even need to breath or anything like that.
Ramattra being nice and polite to humans despite what humans have done to him and his is appropriate. He's being better than them, or at least trying to appear better.
His interactions between Zenyatta reminds me of Hanzo and Gengi, in a sense where one is bitter with their life while the other trying to make sense of their life.
Or a Roadhog and Ramattra interaction. Y’know considering that the reason why Australia is an apocalyptic wasteland was because him and multiple other Australians destroyed an omnium (an enormous factory that makes omnics) and basically blew up like a continent wide nuke
Commenting this on every rammatra interactions vid because I'm a Dva simp but it's nice to see her completely serious for a change since Ramattra is the first character that she actually has conflict with
It's really interesting to hear Ramattra's kill interactions with other omnics He is obviously sorry to kill his brother Zenyatta, and wishes he was on his side He doesn't try to convince Bastion though. Perhaps he thinks Bastion is too naive or kind (In it's own robo-killing way) to actually go against humans Out of all omnics i think he hates Echo the most. While Zenyatta is very spiritual and kind, he is very unlike an average human. But Echo is happy to copy anyone and their behaviour, including humans. I think Ramattra sees this as her weakness It's interesting what he sympathizes with Orisa, considering her love for humans. I think it's because Ramattra sees a little bit of himself in her. An ex-military omnic who was/is on a road of peace. Maybe somewhere deep down Ramattra thinks Orisa will face the same fate as he did once humans betray her too
Well Orisa was created by efi who is a human but Ramattra on the other hand wasn’t. He wasn’t created by human hands, he was a R-7000 ravager at first. Orisa was created by human hands so I don’t think she’ll ever turn against humans because efi is like family to her, but Ramattra isn’t close to any human he’s only close to omnics like zenyatta and lanet.
