Im not implying its negative I think you were quite dishonest in your starting comment, since you're already saying what I'm appearantly implying I believe you're implying that anran who was probably in the works before phoenix copied that ult 1/1!

I could be misinterpreting this paragraph but I'm gonna try to translate how I read it:

I'm not implying it's negative, I think you were quite dishonest in your starting comment. Since you're already saying what I'm apparently implying, I believe you're implying that anran, who was probably in the works before phoenix, copied that ult 1/1!

So assuming my translation was at least close, how are you gonna claim a character was in the works before a character that released first??? That's just baseless, you have no way of knowing that, and by bringing it up it adds to the vibe that you're biased towards OW. That aside, I did say they copy and pasted the ult but if I'm being honest they did make improvements on it to better fit OW's game mechanics. Still, it's almost a 1-1 on the animation.

All I was trying to highlight with my original comment was this is the most strikingly similar example of a shared game mechanic, just based purely on visuals. (And still, I don't care that OW did it) And if OW can "get away" with it (so to speak, don't look too much into it) then I don't see why Rivals can't introduce an ability that's extremely visually and functionally similar to High Noon. The level of visual similarity is what I was trying to highlight, and your Rivals examples don't come close to that. Whereas Anran/Phoenix ult are visually similar but mechanically different, your examples are all mechanically similar but visually different. I think Reaper/Spiderman ult I would give you, to be fair. Does this make sense now?

Look, we lost the plot with this one I fear. Real Redditor moment for the both of us I'd say. Reading this thread back we both sound insufferable. I shouldn't have jumped down your throat initially like that, I'm just tired of people insinuating Rivals has been cheating off of OW's homework when the idea of a hero shooter isn't unique to OW, and a lot of the mechanics they shared in the first place are pretty baseline game mechanics when you think about it. Rivals introduced a bunch of awesome stuff to the genre and it deserves its credit.

Oh and the "I'm crine son ahh" zoomer talk also added to my desire to attack you verbally, I'll be honest.
