TIERLIST: Ranking Overwatch Heroes by their Criminal History

:_LizardElmoFire:The Outro music was copywritten so I removed it. Also, I know my microphone isn't the greatest, I did some retakes to fix parts where it messed up but I might've missed spots The Outro song that was supposed to be there is called Fruit Salad - Wiggles :_LizardGigaChad:

Thought Mei would be the tax evasion cause she stayed frozen like 10 years

Sigma actually couldn't be prosecuted He is clearly insane, so pleading insanity would get him out scot free

Mei's endothermic blaster would be an illegal weapon, meaning she could get charged with a crime simular to that of possesion of a nuclear bomb.

There is actually a war crime regarding weather manipulation to gain military advantage in a conflict. In the Vietnam war, the US planes redirected rain clouds to target high value roads, severely disrupting infrastructure. So, yes, Mei had indeed committed war crimes

Winston, leader of “terrorist” group: “He’s fine” Ranattra, leader of terrorist group: “Yeah he is a war criminal”

The Moira is one is goofy. You didn’t even scratch the surface of her wicked deeds. Like how she kidnapped widowmaker, brainwashed her, and forces her to not have any emotions, and they made her kill her husband.

fascinating to watch a man grapple with reconciling the struggle between legality and morality through an overwatch tier list

Reaper is canonically and irrevocably an actual, certified War Criminal. Gotta remember Overwatch and in turn, Blackwatch was under the United Nations banner. Recruiting McCree as an ultimatum between that and life in prison? War crime. Executing Antonio without due process, when it was expected that he would be brought in for a FAIR TRIAL? Two war crimes in one. There's a reason why in-lore Blackwatch caused such a stir. They literally violated international law numerous times. Also, they literally had an Irish lady sucking the souls of people. That would be considered "wilfully causing great suffering", which counts as a war crime. He is the character in Overwatch with the most significant crimes under his... er, grenade-lined belt.

"It's his programming" and "he was just following orders" is the slipperiest of slopes you could slide down 💀

16:00 Cassidy says to soldier “I’ll never forgive ourselves for what we did to the people in gibralter (?)” Solider: “They were criminals!” Cassidy: “So were we…”

-Faking your death is a crime in many countries. -Bastion has littered bullet shells all over the forest and did damage to a protected landscape. -Orisa has actually caused massive property damage and accidentally injured people which could count as reckless endangerment. However, because she is under the ward of Efi and her parents, they were held liable for Orisa's crimes. -Scientifically unethical practices are illegal in nearly every country. (Looks at Moira) -Ashe sells illegal acquired arms and weapons of mass destruction (the end of route 66 is the deadlock hideout and you can see all the stolen military-grade stuff they have.) That's literal war profiteering. -Leaving your comrade in arms is considered a crime, even in an criminal organization, so Baptiste, while morally right, is guilty of abandonment. -Torbjorn was asked to shut bastion down for the safety of the town, but let him live, which is kinda gray as he had a moral justification.

orisa injured a child severely because she believed he was doomfist

Genji committed trespassing, the worst crime

Didn't Mei create a torture gun not only breaking the geneva convention, but probably also contraband

Zen at the least is guilty of harboring and aiding a fugitive (Genji), which is an actual crime, and have possibly done it multiple times. Also, it could be debated that his orb of discord counts as a bioweapon, which is an actual war crime.

Tracer often times finds herself committing tax fraud

The moira saying "nice solo ult" when you were playing Sigma, lmao... just didn't see the giant Ramattra floating right next to them?

I believe that sigma could be given the escaping lawful custody charge and the Talon agents who broke him out (Widowmaker, Reaper, Sombra, etc) could technically be charged with assisting in an escape of lawful custody (along with the vast amount of charges that they would've recieved anyways).

Your knowledge of the lore makes this tier list miles above a lot I’ve heard, very based
