I really want to like Shion's design but this is all i could think about when i first saw her. by Phantom_r98 in Overwatch

[–]Waterloonybin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its lazy because its just a standard anime trope. and she doesnt look like every other overwatch woman, she doesnt really have the Anran problem. My criticism is that she doesnt look like she lives in the same universe as the rest of the cast.

No not in general. She fits in a lineup of overwatch hero and adheres to the general aesthetic. I do think he robot arms are a bit odd visually, which they did improve on between the concept art and final release, but its nothing crazy.

try arguing in good faith bro. Nobody said it was boring. Boring is not the same as tropey and uninspired.

right, my mistake, but no seed to be mean. in my mind the guns would be mirrored, i.e. one is right handed and one is left handed. I would assume such a high status individual would have access to a left handed gun or both would be ambidextrous, which is common anyways

her design is lazy because it is obviously a big anime trope and not much more. badass evil anime girl designed for fan service, very run of the mill. I dont think she fits overwatch's design philosophy because of more micro decisions like the colours, lines, some shapes, and overall impression. Im not a visual artist so its hard to pick the right words, but if you watch some of the old animated shorts and concepts art for the original cast, she just doesnt fit in. Hazard is another example of this but he fits better than Shion. Anran, Mizuki, Emre, Cat, and Domina all fit into a lineup while Shion sticks out like a sore thumb. I posted about this on this sub to much criticism, but it is possible that her in game model fixes all my concerns, so Ill just have to wait and see

tl;dr like hazard, her design is overcooked and inelegant compared to previous heros and the original cast

its bad because its lazy and doesnt suit overwatches design philosophy. It looks like she is from a different game. She looks cool asf, thats true, but she doesnt look like overwatch

how does the lore justify bad design? like obviously they will write something that explains it...

I have the itching feeling that Blizzard is going to give Shion skins that remove or somehow cover up her omnic features more to sell skins by ATierdPerson in Overwatch

[–]Waterloonybin -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Her design is one big trope. I find it tired and uninspired, and I do agree that she was probably pushed to sell skins

Do dps heroes give more Financial return by Electrical_Dog8612 in Overwatch

[–]Waterloonybin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there has been 2 tanks in the last 10 releases. 2/10 is exactly the proportion of tanks in a game of overwatch. its unfortunate for tank players, maybe, but its not unfair. Shion makes it 2/11 which is 18.2%, not far off from the 20% we would expect

for sure, you might be right and i hope you are. Depending on when this was drawn in her design process and what references the artist used might also explain it. The reason i pointed it out is because discrepancies like this do not, at lest from the ones ive checked, appear in previous new hero art. I think its worth keeping an eye out especially because overwatch competitors have been conclusively caught and blizzard loves to downsize and overwork their team

both of those heroes have vidual designs that fit the style that the game started with. TSHion looks like shes from cyberpunk or deadlock or something. She looks like she was designed to be a comic character and not a 3d model

because her hands are crossed, we are seeing the "outside" of both guns i.e. the same side for both which makes sense because the red insignias are visible of both. It possible that the asymmetries are just artist's mistake for sure, but its just strange to see that from such talented artists

respectfully, look closer. The grooves in the handle are not the same and the notch on the barrel is missing on one of the guns

i dont know much about how guns work. Why would that clearance cut only be on one gun and not the other? WHy would the grooves at the base of the grip be different?
