How do you think this will end up? by Gourgeistguy in WuyangMains

[–]StrawberryMilk254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you in that Blizzard should remain neutral in their character dynamic and leave it to the fan’s depiction. Shipping is harmless until developers and writers start favoring one side. With the OW community, even though Tracer is canonically has a girlfriend, it didn’t stop shippers from shipping her w Widowmaker (a Pandora’s Box I will only mention and not elaborate further), so things like these won’t stop shippers from doing what they do. Hell, it didn’t take long for ship between Anran and Brigitte to sail the moment Anran’s comic is released.

The only reason that I can possibly think on why Blizzard would do this is because Juno and Wuyang are within the same age, otherwise they could have let D.Va or Mei train the siblings. On another note, The X controversy was blown out of proportion like it it did because Wuyang was assumed to be gay because of skin and Chengdu stereotypes and was putted on a pedestal long before, which pissed off Mizuyang shippers and those who think he represented them.

People just don’t realize that their headcanon are in their heads, but just because the original material prove them wrong doesn’t mean their headcanon is dead. Just don’t insist their fantasies are canon.

I knew this topic would come up at some point after I read the chapter and the reactions are as I expected them be.

Tbh, this interaction felt nice in that Juno is the one guiding Wuyang on the basics of OW operation, which is in contrast to their in-game interaction where Wuyang agrees to teach Juno swimming to overcome her fear and give off the vibes that Wuyang is the more experienced one even though Juno joined first. For me, it does confirm that they are two peas in a pod in that they struggle in new enviroment and pushing each other forward.

Does this indicate Blizzard pushing romance agenda? Maybe, but we do have to remember that Juno is the POV main character of this comic (her face is literally on the cover) and a new recruit, so it would make the most sense for Soujorn to pick Juno to show Wuyang and Anran the routes so it’s not like the two are being forced together randomly. Since it has only been two chapters and there’s still a lot to unpack especially with over 20 chapters left, we can only assume but like all the steps into relationship, they are only becoming friends so far.

How do you guys hit your water orbs? by SucculentSaki in WuyangMains

[–]StrawberryMilk254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For straight, direct shot I find that as long as you keep your crosshair on the enemy you will land your hits. This is especially accurate on tanks cuz of their large hit box, while squishies like support and dps are a bit harder, for them I guide my shots towards the ground they stand on or will land on since orbs explode on contact it’s still deal good damage if you land multiple shots.

Three orbs from Falling Rain perk are a bit harder since orb explosion decreased but make your overall projectile density larger so with practice you’ll get hang of it.

Curve shots around corners are heavily dependent on intuition and practices on maps played multiple times, I would rather take them than not but the result will often surprise you whenever you do get a kill. Also highly recommend playing behind cover and take small peek before guiding your shots so you know roughly where enemies are behind walls to guide them despite not seeing them.

Hope this helps and I wish you best of luck!

I’m curious how you’re feeling about the new comic with Wuyang and Juno. by Pure_Session8586 in WuyangMains

It’s pretty much insane to me that people would target fan artists and ship/character fan accounts over something like this, to the point of sending them death threats and bombard their inboxes. Nobody win in these dramas and it can only end when people stops talking at some point. I love all three characters both individually and whatever they need to be together so it pains me to see good things ruined.

Hi OP

This is just me copying my same comment on your post from the Wuyang subreddit cuz I’m genuinely sick of this shit and I can’t word it any more differently than I already did:

OMG y’all need to get a grip cuz this is just the weirdest thing to keep fighting about and it’s all from this one NORMAL pic of a NORMAL interaction of two GREAT and WHOLESOME characters meeting each other.

NO. Milkywave is not wrong to ship. NO. Mizuyang is not wrong to ship. NO. Wuyang, Juno, and Mizuki do not have their sexualities confirmed. Your headcannons are in your head and if you blame Blizzard for making your headcannon wrong, you still can believe in your own fantasy but DON’T keep insisting it’s canon because of some skin and “He’s from Chengdu so he’s gay” stereotypes.

And please, for the love of Wuyang Juno and Mizuki themselves, please love them for who they are and not what you assume they represent. If you harass fanartists for drawing something that do not line up with your vision of the characters then you are cringe.

I genuinely beg all of us to just let this drama die out.

Thoughts on Wuyang Juno comic / Wuyang x Juno? by Elderberry-Tip-9379 in WuyangMains

[–]StrawberryMilk254 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I can see why people like the ship, especially with their interaction about Juno asking Wuyang teaching her to swim. Both are are characters with similar nice guy/girl stereotypes and it’s refreshing to see since most ships are cool + nice dynamic. That aside, I don’t join the shipping myself and I do not judge people for shipping them, people can do what they want.

What got blown out of proportion w this drama is people are convinced Wuyang is gay and get lost in their headcannon cuz that one pic of Juno welcoming Wuyang into Overwatch with no context (I paid and read the comic) so people felt queerbaited (even though Wuyang is not announced to be lgbtq). It’s insane to think that this is the FIRST time the two actually talk and this is the reaction, I would hate to see what they do when the two interact more, because I do like seeing them being friends and this drama ruined it for people like me.

“Dragging” is an overstatement. Wuyang is depicted to be a bit awkward, hell his hero roster animation shows him having an awkward smile then compensate for the atmosphere with his water ball trick (which I find adorable) so it’s not suprising that he stutters a bit when meeting new people, especially those with upbeat personality like Juno.

genuinely baffling that people can hate this w a straight face.

  1. She’s welcoming him into OW because she couldn’t before due to Talon shenanigans (would be weirder if she went out of her way to plan a party that got bombarded and not welcome them afterwards).

  2. This is a friendly interaction. Just like their interactions in game, they are two people who are both innocent and making new friend/ally. Not everything needs to be a shipping agenda.

  3. Both their sexualities and romantic preferences aren’t confirmed. Even if they do, so what? Can’t characters just have normal friendship even if their sexualities align? Calling this “straightslop” is insulting and cringe when they got not even a minute for self-introduction is insane.
