Overwatch heights
Below you can find a list of all Overwatch Heroes with their age and heights included. Since the game was released in May of 2016, Blizzard published various details about each character and their heritage. While there are tons of requests for both height and weight for each character we were unable to locate their weights.
But, as is always the case with our culture, both in real life and the virtual one, size matters to many. Thankfully, it does not always restrict what you can do with a character in games, especially in Overwatch. The same is true for the entirety of popular culture, where we constantly see Davids fighting Goliaths and eventually defeating them. As for Overwatch, each character is unique, and even though we’ll talk about their age and height, you’ll still be able to achieve a lot with any of them, as long as you learn how to play the game well.
That’s also because characters are the main appeal of Overwatch, so it’s not only useful but exciting to know details about them. Naturally, the special powers and skills all Overwatch characters have can affect the game a lot, but in this piece, we wanted to concentrate on Overwatch characters’ ages and heights. Let’s start with the size of each character.
Overwatch characters Height
Most of the heroes in Overwatch are relatively tall compared to traditional human averages. As a result of current developments in optimizing the human race such as health, lifestyle, and nutrition we have to assume that technology will influence humans heights in the future.
We have already seen significant advances in our average height. Naturally, there is a lot of scientific data for this increase, but it’s enough for us to enter an old house from the early 1800s to realize how much smaller people used to be.
Even a person of average height will have problems entering a home that’s less than 200 years old.
The interesting thing here is that people’s average height has risen by some 4 inches across all industrialized nations. Many things have played a part in our growth, but it’s clear that the change hasn’t been the same in all countries. Nations in Europe and North America are among the tallest globally, while people from Southeastern Asia are among the shortest.
The same is true with Overwatch characters. Some of them are very tall, like Roadhog, Doomfist, Reinhardt, Bastion, and Winston, all around 7 feet (2m) tall. The shortest characters in the game are Lúcio, Torbjörn, Genji, Mei, Sombra, and Tracer. All in all, the heights of Overwatch characters conform to the average sizes of real humans, which is something Blizzard Entertainment was careful to respect.
Below you’ll find a complete list of Overwatch character heights. Take a look, and you’ll see how similar they are in size to our human standards., but bear in mind that we haven’t been able to find the height of characters like Sigma, Wrecking Ball, and Baptiste.
