History Heartwarming / Overwatch

** Additionally, for Lunar New Year, he doesn't say "Wishing you prosperity/a prosperous new year", he actually says the phrase in Mandarin Chinese, with surprisingly good pronunciation.

* According to Jeff Kaplan, Torbjörn was named after a new member of the creative team. Upon hearing his name he immediately said "that is the coolest name ever", and it was then cemented as the character's name when Jeff was told the meaning of Torbjörn's name.

** There are some dialogues where he says he's glad to talk to her, enjoy talking with her, and promises to buy her dinner. [[ShipTease Awww...]]

* In ''Storm Rising'', Mercy swoops down to pull Genji away from a pair of Talon vehicles that are careening toward him. It's both awesome and heartwarming at the same time.

*** The look of awestruck reverence on Brian's face as he hands her the gauntlet and watches her go.

** The only time we see Winston happy outside the flashbacks is looking at pictures of his comrades. The best moment? [[spoiler: Seeing his friends pictures flicker across the display when he recalls them.]]

** The ending. [[spoiler: Overwatch is back in action!]]
-->'''Tracer:''' Winston?! Is that you, luv?! It's been too long!\\

*** Not only are they a couple, but they show up in every cinematic involving King's Row. In the ''Null Sector'' cinematic, which is set before the events of ''Alive'' and ''We Are Overwatch'' [[spoiler: the Omnic is using his body to shield the humans, including his future lover, from encroaching Null Sector extremists.]]

* The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w2-3Dn9PGg Dragons]]'' Animated short has the finale. [[spoiler: After Genji turns the Dragons back on him, Hanzo realizes who Genji is, and despite Genji having his blade at Hanzo's throat, Genji refuses to kill him. Even though Hanzo nearly killed him in the past, being the very reason Genji was turned into a cyborg who hated himself so long, Genji still forgives his brother for everything because he knows Hanzo's realized he was on the wrong side. Even with Hanzo still not a hundred percent certain, Genji leaves, still showing hope that Hanzo can make it right.]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Hanzo''': Real life is not like the stories our father told us. You were a ''fool'' for believing it so!]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Genji''': Perhaps I am a fool to think there is still hope for you...but I do.]]

* From ''Rise and Shine'': Snowball sacrificing its power source to give Mei the power needed to finish her equipment, and Mei's reaction to Winston's ''Are You With Us?'' [[spoiler: Also, Mei making sure to install a solar panel to re-power Snowball]].
** Upon waking up from cryostasis, Mei's second order of business (after freshening up) is to prepare tea for herself and her colleagues. [[spoiler:Before she departs from Ecopoint: Antarctica, [[DueToTheDead she leaves]] [[LibationForTheDead hot tea]] [[DueToTheDead in front of each of her colleague's malfunctioned cryopods, in their personal mugs.]]]]

** [[spoiler: When Balderich sacrifices himself in a last stand against the Omnic invaders, he gives Reinhardt a [[SoProudOfYou look of pride]] when he gives him his hammer.]]
** [[spoiler: Reinhardt giving Balderich his hammer so that he won't abandon his team again and when his shield fails. He protects them by using himself as a human shield.]]
** At the start of Reinhardt's flashback, Balderich was revealed to be AFatherToHisMen and was the one who was initially invited to join Overwatch. [[spoiler: When Balderich is fatally injured, he decides to fight a legion of Omnics himself in order to allow his soldiers and fellow Crusaders to escape. Rather than blame Reinhardt for causing his injury, he gives him his invitation token and tells Reinhardt to protect his team and join Overwatch in his place.]]

* Bastion's comic, "Binary" is mostly about the fallout of people seeing a Bastion unit roaming around in the woods. The heartwarming comes from showing a side of [[spoiler: Torbjörn that shows he might not be as distrustful of Omnics as it seems.]]
-->'''[[spoiler: Torbjörn:]]''' Whatever you're up to.. You don't fool me. I know what you are. I know what you're capable of. Come on! Take a shot! Follow your programming!

-->'''[[spoiler: Torbjörn:]]''' Something's different about you...
** This is followed up by [[spoiler: Torbjörn ''saving'' Bastion from the soldiers who were helping him hunt them and then taking them with him. Even though he acts like a GrumpyOldMan, the look on his face when Bastion offers him a flower and the fact that he took it shows that he really does believe that there's something different about Bastion.]]

* Anytime Soldier: 76 uses his ''Biotic Field'', he'll always call for his teammates to fall in with him and heal up. He may be a ruthless vigilante now, but deep down, [[spoiler: Jack Morrison]] still cares for the safety of others. Old habits die hard, indeed. Likewise, the quotes he used makes him sound like a doting dad, maybe [[AscendedMeme ascending the Dad: 76 meme]] before it was even a meme.

*** Which makes it [[Main/TearJerker sadder]] when Tracer and Winston are on opposing teams; Tracer actually says "Sorry, big guy" if she kills him.

* The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w2-3Dn9PGg&app=desktop Dragons]]'' Animated short has the finale. [[spoiler: After Genji turns the Dragons back on him, Hanzo realizes who Genji is, and despite Genji having his blade at Hanzo's throat, Genji refuses to kill him. Even though Hanzo nearly killed him in the past, being the very reason Genji was turned into a cyborg who hated himself so long, Genji still forgives his brother for everything because he knows Hanzo's realized he was on the wrong side. Even with Hanzo still not a hundred percent certain, Genji leaves, still showing hope that Hanzo can make it right.]]

** Another TearJerker overlap is the frame showing Reaper standing in an alley watching a happy family cross the street. Remorseless, sociopathic murderer though he may be now, you have to remember that he ''did'' have a family & friends that loved him, and it was only his jealousy that caused him to throw it all away. One can't help but wonder what life would be like for him if he could've been content to stay in the background.

* During interactions between Junkrat and Roadhog, some heartwarming moments can be heard through interactions but mostly in their own way. Examples include Roadhog telling Junkrat to stay out of trouble then Junkrat gladly responding that he'd be on his best behaviour. other examples come from Junkrats interactions such as congratulating an allied Roadhog on a kill by saying that he could always count on him and when an allied Roadhog is killed then Junkrat will say an OnlyICanKillHim line.

The ''Overwatch '''A'''daptation '''W'''ith '''N'''o '''N'''ame'' has contributed enough of the moments on this page that it warranted getting its' own folder:

* Also an SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments, after a historical record long-loss streak that lasted the entire inaugural season, the Shanghai Dragons finally got their first win in the 2019 season against Boston Uprising 3-1 (with a full hold against Boston on the only map they lost). It was so much that even Boston's fan genuinely applauded the Dragons!

* In the Overwatch League, initially, there was some protest about the New York Excelsior and London Spitfire being entirely manned by Korean teams. After a while, though, the people of New York seem to have taken in the Excelsior with open arms, with outpourings of pride during and after their match with the Seoul Dynasty, with some bars even hosting viewing parties for the match.

* For Overwatch League, the first ranked team of the stage gets to pick who they would fight. For Stage 4, the Los Angeles Gladiators were first and had to pick between the New York Excelsior, the Dallas Fuel, or the Los Angeles Valiant. Their coach stated on how they would fight through adversity and picked the [[WorthyOpponent Los Angeles Valiant]], the only team they lost against. This also guaranteed a 5th battle for LA and one LA team in the finals.
** After the Valiant won against New York in the Stage 4 Finals, the Gladiators congratulated [[https://twitter.com/LAGladiators/status/1008533630816215040 their sibling team.]]

* The fact that the entire cast are close friends in real-life; you could lose hours surfing [=YouTube=] and watching the cavalcade of ''Overwatch'' cast members hanging out in their spare time -- even traveling cross-country just to hang out -- and enjoying each other's company.

* The fact that the ''entire'' cast are TrueCompanions in real-life; you could lose hours surfing [=YouTube=] and watching the cavalcade of ''Overwatch'' cast members hanging out in their spare time -- even traveling cross-country just to hang out -- and enjoying each other's company.

* Whenever Mercy uses her Ressurect to revive an ally, they're always ecstatic to be alive and able to fight again. Some examples include:

* During interactions between Junkrat and Roadhog, some heartwarming moments can be heard through interactions but mostly in their own way. Examples include Roadhog telling Junkrat to stay out of trouble then Junkrat gladly responding that he'd be on his best behaviour. other examples come from Junkrats interactions such as congratulating an allied Roadhog on a kill by saying that he could always count on him and when an allied Roadhog is killed then Junkrat will say an OnlyICanKillHim line.

** Also counts as a CrowningMomentOfFunny, since Junkrat called Roadhog "the big tub" ''mere seconds'' before exploding on the officers.

* In ''Reunion'', [=McCree=] almost never shoots directly at Ashe or the Deadlock Gang during their shootout, instead aiming for [[NonLethalKO Non-Lethal K.O.s.]] After defeating them, he chooses to send them rolling towards their hideout on a payload instead of turning them in. [=McCree=] may be a vigilante, but he still cares a lot about his former comrades!

* In ''Reunion'', [=McCree=] almost never shoots directly at Ashe or the Deadlock Gang during their shootout, instead aiming for [[NonLethalKO Non-Lethal K.O.s.]] After defeating them, he chooses to send them back to their hideout instead of turning them in. [=McCree=] may be a vigilante, but he still cares a lot about his former comrades!

* In ''Reunion'', McCree almost never shoots directly at Ashe or the Deadlock Gang during their shootout, instead aiming for [[NonLethalKO Non-Lethal K.O.s.]] After defeating them, he chooses to send them back to their hideout instead of turning them in. McCree may be a vigilante, but he still cares a lot about his former comrades!

* ''Shooting Star'' shows Hana Song as a far more sensitive and caring girl than her persona as D.Va would lead one to believe. Specifics moments include

[[folder: Comics]]

[[folder: Gameplay]]

* Reinhardt fought in the Omnic Crisis, the Omnic almost invaded his homeland, and still, in the Cinematic trailer, he protects a damaged Omnic in King's Row. He also shows no hostilities towards Bastion because ''The Last Bastion'' says that it was involved in the battle of Eichenwalde meaning that Reinhardt and Bastion were on opposing sides and Bastion could of been among those responsible for Eichenwaldes ruin.

* One of Brigitte's pre-game comments with Bastion has her ask him if he's liking the "new armor Papa made" for him. Not only is Bastion happy with it, but the fact that Torbjorn made armor ''for an Omnic'' just further shows how much he seems to care about Bastion.

* [[https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/21574699 A letter from Torbjorn to his wife]] following his injuries in the 'White Dome' incident is full of heartwarming. There is him reassuring her that he will make a full recovery, hoping to be home in time for the birth of their child. He talks about how Reinhardt is nearly always by his side, how he had already intended to make the big guy the coming child's godfather, but has also floated the possibility of letting Reinhardt name the child (presumably Brigitte). And speaking fondly of Angela, who paid him a visit. Overall, the letter shows that under his gruff exterior is a man who loves his family and friends.

* Whenever Mercy uses her Ultimate to revive an ally, they're always ecstatic to be alive and able to fight again. Some examples include:

* The interactions between Mercy and Genji. Mercy was among the rescue team that saved Genji from the brink of death, and although he was ashamed with his cyberization at first, thanks to Zenyatta's tutelage, he has come to appreciate Mercy's help. This is solidified by a unique line of dialogue Genji has when he is revived by Mercy's ultimate.
