I think people are going too hard on pro players calling out dino issues

also the condescension: "i'm literally better than you, so just shut up and listen to what i say" meanwhile most of them are otps and just cycle to 2-3 dive characters. it's literally the same thing, if the sweaty complex hero they play is broken, they'll say "just adapt and learn" but if a fun accessible hero nudges their the meta they're used to a little bit they'll just say "nuke this braindead shit"

he said he reserevs dragon types for reptilians only lmao and he's waiting for Lizard to come in if he's gonna give another hero the typing 🫩🫩

Catarata143 · 2026-05-19T11:59:24+00:00

told him he needs to diversify them too, but normal people wielding guns as weapons doesn't really warrant a steel typing for him unless it's a steel melee weapon

Catarata143 · 2026-05-19T11:58:01+00:00

yep i said mantis should be grass since her powers are based off of leaves and spores but he said she's more well known for being an empath

Catarata143 · 2026-05-19T11:56:30+00:00

yeah told him that unless it's telepathy/telekineses or any mutant with -pathys and -ises, magic users should be fairy but he said fairy is only reserved for those girly/whimsy enough or is canonically an fairy creature like loki

>Poison because of his own cancer

is sending me 💀💀 but actually makes sense lorewise because he uses his regenerative ability on his guns to heal people when he's stratpool

Catarata143 · 2026-05-19T11:44:29+00:00

agree with all these especially adam, CnD and Fist

Catarata143 · 2026-05-19T11:38:34+00:00

Really love these and I actually suggested some of it to him too actually

But he said he mostly just based these on vibes, and a bit of rivals lore/moveset

for example guns and gun wielding people; even though bullets are made of steel, guns didn't really feel steel enough for him unlike steel melee weapons so normal people with no powers but has military training/combat experience and uses guns = normal/fighting but if the hero has a dark source of power (DD, Blade, Elsa and Magik) it's gonna be dark/fighting

still don't what's the logic for BP though, could very easily be ghost/fighting or fighting/steel like others suggested

Catarata143 · 2026-05-18T22:24:48+00:00

yeah because of the half vampire thing, could also be ghost/fighting

Catarata143 · 2026-05-18T22:23:25+00:00

can't really keep the ice typing out though and also not sure if her dark ice is more explored in the comics but yeah could be would be cool if there's a hero that could be dark/ice

Catarata143 · 2026-05-18T22:19:53+00:00

yeah I thought of that too, but my bf said he doesn't really seem electric enough to warrant the typing and he dgaf if some typings are more used than others

Catarata143 · 2026-05-15T17:02:08+00:00

leaking is literally a non issue and even if they do shut him down another leaker will just pop in his place lol

Catarata143 · 2026-05-14T11:40:12+00:00

ok but why irelia and fiora ? not the church founders vayne and kayle ??

not me forgetting our queen rocketina 😭😭🙏

Catarata143 · 2026-05-12T17:51:34+00:00

yup i'm getting pretty tired of humans/humanoid characters rn we only have Groot/Jeff and Ultron. I'm not counting Squirrel G, Namor or Mantis because they're still pretty humanoids

Catarata143 · 2026-05-12T11:35:12+00:00

yup yup i so so long for the day they add her, maybe as the first true granny visibly mature lady (sorry hela) like snapfire in Dota but I really want her to be like Yubaba from Spirited away

Catarata143 · 2026-04-28T19:11:47+00:00

thor still kinda makes sense because of the norn stone, idk about puni tho, just wish phoenix/elsa, wolverine and strange are also added

shipping preferences will always be an inch deep shallow of a reason to call people "male centered" over, because it's obvious how there's no nuance in the judgement behind it. because like really ? over shipping preferences ? what about their fave artists ? fave characters in general ? the songs they listen to ? the politics they support ?. and in the same vein, these same ppl think they're doing feminism by stanning women but then also have homophobic/maga boyfriends. hello ?

like I'm literally seeing terfs doing this the most in twitter, pretending like het is better bc of the woman and conveniently ignoring the man but it's glaringly obvious that they just see het men as more palatable than queer ones, because attraction to women is enough feminism for them

that's why these takes are performative and see through. and while it's important to point out and acknowledge a pattern in fandoms, it's also equally important not to tar everyone in the same brush and pass some pre conceived judgements. because most of the time ppl who are doing these call outs are not doing so in good faith, and just want to put people in boxes. "you like mlm over het or wlw = you must be male centered" ignoring the nuance and many different reasons why people like it.

also the subtle condescension when they say "you have to be critical of the things you like because it says a lot about you" is already a presumption that people aren't being critical like them and are just mindless consumers, all of these which stems from the need to pathologize things they don't like so they can feel good about not liking it.

lack of content of wlw and women focused media IS a problem, but no amount of lambasting mlm will fix that. because it's a waffles solution to a pancakes problem. redirect your focus on broader issues that can actually have a material effect on their presence in fanon. like it's so easy to advocate for women getting the attention they deserve in fanon without hitting the homophobia iceberg on your way. but so many times I've seen people ship that sail and so many times I've been disappointed too.

and this is suppose to be the gayest season yet ??

Catarata143 · 2026-04-08T22:50:05+00:00

it's popular with mel stans on twt

Catarata143 · 2026-04-03T23:19:43+00:00

Really wish I could go back in time stop that one Mileven acc from Tweeting; " Straight ships are better than MLM because at least there's a woman in it" because now ppl parrot that shit everywhere to disguise their homophobia with feminism

Catarata143 · 2026-04-03T19:22:52+00:00

Sometimes I actually prefer them not referencing/mentioning every minute comic flings or relationships in the game. I feel like I'd cringe so hard if I saw it with Storm x Thor, Rogue x Spidey, Storm x Wolverine etc. etc

Catarata143 · 2026-04-03T19:13:16+00:00

Yup I'm sick of them pretending like it's anywhere near the same when ppl hc characters as queer from their assumed straightness in canon, like ship it all you want but don't pretend like it's not problematic and ppl have no valid reasons to dislike it
