The world of Overwatch is doomed, or at least will soon be faced with a wildly inconvenient series of natural disasters. That’s according to math, which you typically can’t argue against - but a number of fans have engaged in an epic debate over exactly how screwed Overwatch’s Earth will be, and there remains no clear consensus. It began with an essay by Lateasusual on the Overwatch subreddit, which posits that we can figure out the distance between the Earth and the moon by measuring the difference in gravity and angles between Dorado and Horizon. I’d explain further, but I have an English degree and you’re probably better off reading the details for yourself. You can check out the figures for yourself in the ‘Doing the maths’ post on Reddit, but the important conclusion is this: in Overwatch, the moon is roughly 2000km away from Earth, compared with the real distance of 385,000km. This means, in Lateasusual’s estimation, that Overwatch’s Earth is doomed - the difference in tidal effects will result not only in massive waves that’ll cover most of the land, but terrain deformation that will result in earthquakes and volcanic activity on an apocalyptic scale.
