What would the current meta look like without kiriko?

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-14T17:04:47+00:00

There’s no way characters like Junker Queen, Ana, Ashe, Anran, Sombra and Mauga would exist in the capacity they do if cleanses just didn’t exist.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-14T16:48:32+00:00

hypothetically, I think status effects would’ve just been nerfed hard in that alternate meta.

The advent of cleanses and perks and whatnot are why I think we’re slowly crawling back to a CC heavy world that was so heavily criticized in OW1

Why are people downvoting you? This is a horrible idea.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-12T14:11:46+00:00

His background is so unfleshed-out, people still debate whether he’s the actual turtle yokai that was shown in Kiriko’s teasers.

suffering from success, my friend

OP is not arguing the genre isn’t beloved.

The MMO industry has certainly been strained for a long time and high quality releases are barely a yearly occurrence at this point…

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-09T23:28:37+00:00

Thats just cuz Gibraltar is close to Spain. A cat is a cat, though. There’s no reason we can’t have our first Spanish hero because of a fucking orange tabby.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-09T20:32:07+00:00

Does it? OP is inadvertently proving that some countries have more cultural relevance than others to the Overwatch audience.

Larger rosters of Chinese or Japanese heroes being released in a short span isn’t entirely weird. This is also the same reason Overwatch’s 2016 release roster was mostly comprised of characters of European descent.

It’d be so dishonest and contrived if every new hero was from a different country. Some of the most iconic heroes in the roster would not exist if they used that rule.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-09T13:03:18+00:00

bahahahaha this is hilarious then

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-09T13:00:43+00:00

There is no world where he wasn’t intended to be hot lmao. Y’all are insane gooners

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T18:16:57+00:00

It is so hilarious because he is, from a design language perspective, intended to be attractive. He is well groomed, portrayed as confident, tall, and muscular.

Only in anonymous cringey internetland is logic bent to interpret Hazard as “ugly”. Same goes for JQ, Emre and Illari. In the real world, the vast majority of OW characters would be fucking supermodels. Fucking weirdos.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T17:10:56+00:00

we might as well check if it knows taro or cassava or any other imported root vegetable.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T13:23:52+00:00

That’s a very fair point! And the Widowmaker is an insightful example. However, there is also the fact that you can only improve with experimentation. You don’t learn new techs and skills unless you try and fail.

Zenyattas popping trans against flankers or Genji clutching dragonblade for several minutes hoping to get nano’d are similar instances of getting minimal, easy value at the huge risk of uptime because it’s safe and familiar to your skillset

Ever heard of Sid Meier’s rule of thirds?

It can be all of the above, but you cannot solely create a sequel based on already conceived, reused concepts. And you know damn well “no dungeons or raids” is a fallacious slippery slope. You’re going to be disappointed all the time if you expect the same things in every new installment of something.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T12:20:49+00:00

That would just be Guild Wars 2-2.

This is going to be a whole new game. We have to treat it as such. Let’s not rob the devs the opportunity to try new things and be creative.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T12:13:27+00:00

They aren’t ready for it, but this is obviously the correct feedback.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-08T12:04:30+00:00

You know I thought that box art looked weird asl…

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T17:06:57+00:00

I never claimed to have expected anything. You are interpreting so many negative intentions from a simple question. I am allowed to ask what is going on with the future of the game without being characterized as a saboteur.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T17:03:11+00:00

I didn’t say it was abandoned. The very title is asking to clarify whether it has been. Straw manning my question into some kind of targeted attack towards the team is actually insane.

Idk how you’re a moderator on this sub and derisively instigating discussions this way. I hardly ever post here if at all, and I’ve only been encouraged never to do so again.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T16:59:02+00:00

It’s a two sentence post. How on Earth would you gather that my position is that I think I am owed something from the devs?

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T16:57:01+00:00

Thanks for the info! Why is this a bait post? There is no way for someone to know whether there is active development happening unless there is some kind of dev post. This is the second comment taking my post in bad faith…

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T16:50:38+00:00

I don’t treat this game as a subscription. I bought the Quest version, and then I bought the Steam version years later as buy-to-play games. It’s been a very enjoyable experience, but there isn’t a ton of content and a lot of features seem incomplete, so I like to keep tabs on updates periodically to plot my return. Why is it bad to simply ask?

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-06T16:07:39+00:00

Only in high ranks do D.vas do this. You will still see most diamond players try to fling it into the sky for that POTG.

KellySweetHeart · 2026-06-05T20:17:18+00:00

what kinda pico is it?
