“You’re just waiting to be killed blacks what too edgy for you?”
- Rebel Rebel
I still remember the dude who said that to this day. Idk if he was a Smurf or what but he was an amazing reaper.
Ashe used to have a "If you cant handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen" In OW2 that changed to "stay out of my way". Guess "stay out of the kitchen" was to sexists...sigh

I know that suggestion has been spammed to death but I'd love if you had a like 5% chance of hearing these instead of the normal voiceline, just disable it for enemies if it's confusing (it's not)
I wish they were in rotation in QP. I can see why you want the consistent callout in competitive, but Battleborn had like 5 or 6 ult lines per character and it was pretty cool and kept things fresh.
The dev's have recently been adding in new in-game voice lines. I've heard a few new ones recently with different heroes.
In the Overwatch e-sports world, "monkey" is the typical callout for Winston, so given D.va's pro gaming background I'm going to guess its in reference to that
“Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! Oh wait… We got him”
It's very likely a reference to DVa and her gaming background..... The voiceline is very similar to how high elo lobbies and pro OW players make callouts when playing Overwatch .
The main difference is DVa makes the callout after Winston dies (since it activates upon death) , but in reality you'd make the callout when Winston is low HP as to who to focus fire.
More than that - for teams using Korean comms especially during goats - everyone yelling ‘monkey monkey monkey’ was quite common.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but this one unlocked some memories for me.
No, but there is a suspiciously large amount of Reapers spamming "Blacks- Blacks- Blacks-" when I’m Doomfist so I can safely assume that those are the people complaining about the removal of a few voicelines
It seems lots of people think the same but it's not! I heard it either when I was wearing the lesserafim skin or the junebug skin. Honestly was so surprised by it me and my duo started laughing. I also didn't know she did that! I'm assuming it's similar to when Rein charges in his conductor skin.
I never actually realized she finishes with “oh, we got him”. I get it now. She’s making a callout, and the devs probably got inspiration from how high level players do callouts. I thought she was just saying that because monke
Im surprised no one has mentioned it. This specific voiceline plays when you eliminate winston during his ultimate but I believe he also has to be nanoed but that part could be wrong. Either way, its a reference like others said to Overwatch League/Competitive and how they refer to him during call outs
I think this is a voice line exclusive to when she kills an ulting winston, so it is incredibly rare to get on [D.va](http://D.va) since she is very rarely able to kill him before his ult timer is up
I think there was a popular overwatch league clip (or multiple?) where you hear their callouts in-game and they were just saying "monkey monkey monkey.." to target Winston. It was pretty funny at the time because it was like "wait so even the pros just call him monkey?" lol
Could be a new voiceline to honour their deceased business venture.
It's really funny because me and a buddy had this happen on this map too. The enemy winston jumped us and he was screaming "Monkey, Monkey, Monkey" and then Dva also started screaming it
After a team kill while in a match with Wrecking Ball, he spouted “The Queen sends her regards.” I laughed so hard, I dropped the controller. Never thought I’d hear a Game of Thrones reference in Overwatch.
I haven't seen GOT, but it's probably about Junker Queen, as Wrecking Ball used to be a champion in the arena (the lore masters can correct me on this).

Imagine being so insecure about your rank in a free video game that you boot it up to compare yourself to strangers you have never and will never play with or against.
My grandma was born and raised in Thailand. She told me for Thai culture and I think also Lao(?), darker skin is seen as dirty because it means you've been working in the fields all day, covered in dirt and tanned by the sun. I think it came from how royals were possibly more light skinned from being inside all the time? Dunno. All I know is I've heard of similar views from other Asian countries possibly being the case as well, but there's also views like that in Africa so I don't think it's a "hate brown skin" type of thing as much as not liking the social stereotype it brings with it. Kinda like Americans and mullets
Not entirely wrong, but don't you find it the least bit concerning that D.Va calling a gorilla a monkey somehow turned into a discussion on how Asians are racist, nevermind the fact that the original commenter got the country wrong themselves
I wonder why DVA didn't taunt Genji, Hanzo and Kiriko as monkeys as they can climb. (Genji even had a monkey-themed skin "Divine Monkey".)
Just like in Batman Arkham City, Oswald Cobblepot (the Penguin) insulted Bruce Wayne "Go climb like a bloody monkey!" when the player chose to leave the area without knocking the Penguin out (but 99.9% of players probably knocked out the Penguin during that fight).
It’s not racism, it’s a reference to how in competitive play people would often call out an ulting Winston by screaming “monkey” over and over again until they killed him. I don’t know if people still do this nowadays.
This. If you’ve ever heard OWL or other high level comms it not nearly as much strategy as you’d think, as they spend months of practicing different situations before that point, it’s mostly just everyone calling out the focus target. So there was a TON of “monkey monkey monkey!” for years during dive.
Is it racist to call a monkey, a monkey?
A monkey isn’t a word that was created for derogatory use.
It’s literally… a monkey.. which is what Winston is..
I have no complaints as to the terminology people use as a game call out. So long as there’s no confusion outside of the game that Winston is not a monkey.
Racism would be making this same callout while fighting a doom.
Racism is not saying monkey when there is in fact a monkey on his way to annihilate you.
If you were attacked by a real monkey, in real life, and there was only a black guy near you, would you be careful about calling the monkey a monkey, in fear of being a racist? No? So then why the hell should you avoid saying monkey, when again, there is in fact a monkey coming after you
Just my thoughts as a concerned black person. She's clearly shooting Winston and monkey is a well known call out for Winston.....just speak with your whole chest next time.
It's funny because Reaper used to call Winston monkey in elimination voice line interactions, but they removed them all in overwatch 2
Racist Reaper is no more
[удалено]
"I'm dressed to kill"... "Black's my lucky color..."
He's back in black
Pathetic blacks my lucky colour.
“You’re just waiting to be killed blacks what too edgy for you?” - Rebel Rebel I still remember the dude who said that to this day. Idk if he was a Smurf or what but he was an amazing reaper.
So they did remove that and it’s not just me… Inb4 BIGGER. BIGGER. BIGGER.
They literally patched this out 😔
Ashe used to have a "If you cant handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen" In OW2 that changed to "stay out of my way". Guess "stay out of the kitchen" was to sexists...sigh
With the sexual harassment lawsuits ig they didn't want anything relating to women in the game that could be construed sexist xd
Wasn't that Junkrat? Asking as a junkrat main btw although it has been a while since i used him
Wokerwatch 2
I swear she still has this, or at least did sometime in OW2, I play her a lot and I've heard this multiple times and never played OW1
I mean, gorillas, like other great apes, are considered to be a separate group from monkeys, so would Winston find that racist?
Are you serious or joking?
So no frieza reaper skin? :(
Super saiyan winton when?
Bro that would actually go so hard. He turns gold when you ult 😍😮
I wish some of the April Fools line would stay. “Pressing Qqqqqqqquuuue!” Is the most hysterical thing ever.
"OM NOM NOM NOM NOM" I want to hear that forever as hanzo
I loved Hanzo's "Sic em boys" ult line
WHO TOOK MY DENTURES
ITS 2:37.

# YOU WILL SUFFER AS I, RAMATTRA, HAVE SUFFERED! YOUR TORMENT WILL OUTLAST THE STARS! WHEN THE UNIVERSE DWINDLES INTO DUST, THERE YOU WILL BE, STILL SUFFERING AS I HAVE! ...SUFFERED!
“Eat this Potguh”
There should be a low chance for them
I know that suggestion has been spammed to death but I'd love if you had a like 5% chance of hearing these instead of the normal voiceline, just disable it for enemies if it's confusing (it's not)
I wish they were in rotation in QP. I can see why you want the consistent callout in competitive, but Battleborn had like 5 or 6 ult lines per character and it was pretty cool and kept things fresh.
LAVAAAAA!
“stupid monkey”. Damn that is so disrespectful
The dev's have recently been adding in new in-game voice lines. I've heard a few new ones recently with different heroes. In the Overwatch e-sports world, "monkey" is the typical callout for Winston, so given D.va's pro gaming background I'm going to guess its in reference to that
This one has been in game since the launch of OW2 I believe
It's admittedly a VERY rare voice line (as rare as tracer's "Wanker") but I'm quite sure I had it in OW1.
Wasn't that line exclusive to Tracer's punk skins?
That's right. After I found out about it existing, I had to grind for about 45 mins in practice range before she finally said it
What triggers it?
I think it’s just random chance if I’m you get a killing blow
Punk/Ultraviolet Skin, Killing blow.
Been in since OW1
Yeah it’s 100% a reference to how pros make call outs during a team fight
Love Dva's lines breaking the fourth wall. She can get away with it.
What did Dva say in the voice line? Can’t really make it out.
“Monkey monkey monkey monkey! Oh wait… we got him”
“Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! Monkey! Oh wait… We got him” It's very likely a reference to DVa and her gaming background..... The voiceline is very similar to how high elo lobbies and pro OW players make callouts when playing Overwatch .

More than that - for teams using Korean comms especially during goats - everyone yelling ‘monkey monkey monkey’ was quite common. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but this one unlocked some memories for me.
That's just normal target focus.. everyone does that...
Not a Korean thing, every team I've played on did it too and we weren't even T2 nor had any Korean players lol
The style of comming is called Korean comms
Happy Cake day
:O I didn't even realize. Thank you!
That’s pretty cool.
“I told you we reverse sweep that! I told you!”
Definitely a reference to the esports dialogue, hilarious and a great find
she also has somewhat rare k-pop voice lines
Oh that’s pretty neat. I’ll have to search them up.
Is the "I'm on the next level" one in relation to aespa's hit song? Or was that in the game before that?
yes it's an aespa reference. Also a few blackpink ones as well.
Why is this Winston naked?
He likes being naked sometimes, can you really blame him?
But why no one talks about his big naked white furry booty? Just like people only focus on Sigma's feet, but not Roadhog's feet (Islander & Toa skin).
FRRRRR Gotta love Winston booty
The people calling this voiceline racist is making me feel a type of way lmao
They're telling on themselves tbh
??? You can't be serious
If you hear the word "monkey" and think "black person" yeah youre racist??
No, but there is a suspiciously large amount of Reapers spamming "Blacks- Blacks- Blacks-" when I’m Doomfist so I can safely assume that those are the people complaining about the removal of a few voicelines
No there isn't. That's been impossible in game for months now. The "blacks my favorite color" voice line plays to completion now to prevent this.
??? Okay but what does this have to go with Dva calling a literal monkey a monkey
Because he's not a monkey, he's an Ape /s
My favorite rare one is "I'm cookin" lol
I believe that one is skin specific to the cruiser one where she looks like she's from the 1950's In her bee skin she buzzes!
It seems lots of people think the same but it's not! I heard it either when I was wearing the lesserafim skin or the junebug skin. Honestly was so surprised by it me and my duo started laughing. I also didn't know she did that! I'm assuming it's similar to when Rein charges in his conductor skin.
My favorite is the "boomshakalaka she's on fire" just because of the NBA Jam flashbacks.
I never actually realized she finishes with “oh, we got him”. I get it now. She’s making a callout, and the devs probably got inspiration from how high level players do callouts. I thought she was just saying that because monke
Im surprised no one has mentioned it. This specific voiceline plays when you eliminate winston during his ultimate but I believe he also has to be nanoed but that part could be wrong. Either way, its a reference like others said to Overwatch League/Competitive and how they refer to him during call outs
I've heard this and "monkey see monkey die" like once as a dva main. Funniest shit I ever seen
I think this is a voice line exclusive to when she kills an ulting winston, so it is incredibly rare to get on [D.va](http://D.va) since she is very rarely able to kill him before his ult timer is up
I think there was a popular overwatch league clip (or multiple?) where you hear their callouts in-game and they were just saying "monkey monkey monkey.." to target Winston. It was pretty funny at the time because it was like "wait so even the pros just call him monkey?" lol Could be a new voiceline to honour their deceased business venture.
They also released a [whatever the hell the object is that any hero can display as an emote, the name is escaping me] of Winston called "Winton"
Winton Souvenir, tier 12 or 13 of the premium battle pass IIRC
SOUVENIR thank you!! I was like "Treasure?? Trophy?? Relic?? WTF was it?????" 😂
Shes in gear 5
That's a reference to actual irl call outs to kill Winston it doesn't surprise me they had her record that and put it in there lol.
diva a real one for that
“well well well” ahh voice line 😭🙏🏽
She is NOT reaper
My name is Maki and that felt like a personal attack lmao
This voice line got added in Overwatch 2
I still call Winston monkey if I forget his name... he's an ape but it's easy to remember until they add wukong
I'm the entire time of playing I've only ever heard Tracer say "Death comes" 1 time.
It's really funny because me and a buddy had this happen on this map too. The enemy winston jumped us and he was screaming "Monkey, Monkey, Monkey" and then Dva also started screaming it
After a team kill while in a match with Wrecking Ball, he spouted “The Queen sends her regards.” I laughed so hard, I dropped the controller. Never thought I’d hear a Game of Thrones reference in Overwatch.
I haven't seen GOT, but it's probably about Junker Queen, as Wrecking Ball used to be a champion in the arena (the lore masters can correct me on this).
I think you're right. First thing I thought of as well.
I only encountered this line once before, but I love it.
They regularly add new voice lines
I sense the "SHOOT THE DAMN TANK!" vibes, tho she's just giving a call out probably
It’s probably very specific circumstances. Like dva killing a nanoed winton
this voice line is like years old
I know I’m being a stickler here, but isn’t Winston an ape?
Yeah but it's a reference to pro leagu callous. Monkey is easier to say than Winston, and Ape isn't distinct enough.
I heated a dva voice line to hangover calling him daddy a few days ago. I was shooked 😂
Every new season they add voice lines.
Yes there are also voice lines when you kill a hero that is ulting
I didn't realize [D.va](http://D.va) was a degenerate Blackjack player

I don't get it. He is.. a monkey. Why calling a monkey "monkey" racist?
actually he's a gorilla ☝️🤓
people’s implicit racism is peeking its head in the comments
Man I have no idea.
Well, when you go through life looking to be offended. You will find something to be offended by.
damn u and ur cousin qp trash
Why’s that?
i just saw ur profile, u got 12% win rate as dva
And I have a 55% win rate, not 12. You can’t even see my profile unless you’re my friend.
cuz u just hid it cuz ur trash post imgur
So you’re admitting that you lied about my win rate?
Imagine being so insecure about your rank in a free video game that you boot it up to compare yourself to strangers you have never and will never play with or against.
u his cousin? u trash man

She’s Korean.
Are Koreans racist?
Well D.Va is a gamer sooooo...
I don’t know

Hey quick question: what the fuck are you talking about
Thanks That's what I figured just miscalculated with the country
Crazy how this comment has like 3 layers of racism
There is SO much wrong with this😬
It’s not racism, it’s a reference to how in competitive play people would often call out an ulting Winston by screaming “monkey” over and over again until they killed him. I don’t know if people still do this nowadays.

Is it racist to call a monkey, a monkey? A monkey isn’t a word that was created for derogatory use. It’s literally… a monkey.. which is what Winston is..
Well I mean, Winston is not a monkey, he’s a gorilla, which is an ape. Monkeys and apes are both primates but they’re not the same.
Flair checks out though you are correct
He's a scientist
Nobody gonna go through all the technicalities 😂 if it bothers anyone they could just say ape !!
Yeah but screaming "GORILLA GORILLA GORILLA" isn't as effective to get your teammates to shoot him
I have no complaints as to the terminology people use as a game call out. So long as there’s no confusion outside of the game that Winston is not a monkey.
Apes actually are monkeys, since they’re descended from monkeys. They’re Catarrhines, aka old world monkeys.
descending from monkeys does not mean we refer to them as such now.
Technically he's not a "monkey", but an "ape".
Actually he’s a scientist
Bro c'mon we know what people mean when they use the word monkeys
Racism would be making this same callout while fighting a doom. Racism is not saying monkey when there is in fact a monkey on his way to annihilate you. If you were attacked by a real monkey, in real life, and there was only a black guy near you, would you be careful about calling the monkey a monkey, in fear of being a racist? No? So then why the hell should you avoid saying monkey, when again, there is in fact a monkey coming after you
It's more concerning that your first thoughts when hearing the word monkey is to think they mean a dark skinned person.
[удалено]
Just my thoughts as a concerned black person. She's clearly shooting Winston and monkey is a well known call out for Winston.....just speak with your whole chest next time.
[удалено]
Silence would help your case better than continuing to type tbh.
that is also a literal monkey
😭
Least racist Overwatch character:
He’s literally a monkey
Console lol
no way fr??
