Rumours surrounding supposed Overwatch relationships (or ‘ships’) abound, but Blizzard confirmed one particular romance in December 2016, revealing flagship Hero Tracer as the first canonical LGBT character in the lore. Her partner is Emily, based in London, shown in a panel of Holiday comic called titled ‘Reflections’ where the two share a kiss over presents. Meanwhile, ships theories continue with such pairings as McCree and Hanzo (mchanzo), and the ever-popular Pharah and Mercy (pharmercy) among many others, tracked by Google.
