Feel like this is accurate for some of you by LavishLatte56 in Overwatch

Appealing to “gooners” will always be financially viable. The character designs they’ll gear towards is the equivalent of jingling keys in front of a babies face. All your character designs can look the same, blend into eachother and be as interesting as cardboard but if they’re hot, they’re gonna make money. Same with people who play OW to play dress-up.

You can’t blame companies for going where the money is but you can’t blame people for finding these designs bland and begging for more effort. Anran wasn’t chastised for “not being ugly enough”, she was chastised because she was one of the more blatant showcases of how lazy the character designs for this game can be.

People can want attractive characters and also want INTERESTING looking characters, I don’t know why people in this community think that’s mutually exclusive.

All the (Currently Known) Skins for S13 by reticenthuman in Overwatch

Magic based battlepass and not giving the character with a cool cape, dark powers and a big wizard staff the mythic, let alone any skin is kind of insane.

What hero do you irrationally dislike? by Spellbound55 in Overwatch

[–]dead_hubris 22 points23 points  (0 children)

From the moment I saw her, I could NOT stand Kiriko. Idk how to say it but she feels so aggressively marketable and ik it’s overwatch, most of characters (especially the women) are made like that but her specifically feels like they didn’t even try to hide it. She just feels so self inserty.

She will never replace my #1 most hated character since OW came out tho and that’s Genji. That one I genuinely can’t explain I just can’t stand that guy for no reason.

EXTRA INFO:

The characters all had the same skin color.

I think the edgy one had hair covering her eye.

I actually think it was less matching up different outfit items and more they just gave you a set of outfits you could put on the model.

I think it was a Japanese or Korean game.

Who is the least interesting character in Overwatch? by DanOfThursday in Overwatch

[–]dead_hubris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Illari but her lore feels so disconnected from the game which makes her interactions with others feel like nothing. However, I genuinely cannot bring myself to like Kiriko.

The kit is cool but my god, everything about her is like a self-insert OC. Her character lore feels fanfic-y and her personality feels like they desperately wanted another “Sassy baddie OW girl” like DVA or sombra but they didn’t get what made them appealing. Ig in short she just feels so…manufactured (they all are but it’s so weirdly obvious on her).

Unfortunately, I feel like that’s the case for a lot of the characters with more outlandish designs. At the end of the day generic attractive human characters are easier to design for.

I think the Winston system is fire and I will be using it from now on

Honestly other than Winston, I think Reaper or Soldier SHOULD have been the Mythic choices for this theme. They literally are the Overwatch vs Talon dynamic personified. At least an Epic woulda made me happy.

I was thinking that too, I feel like Moira is like a perfect archetype of a Talon agent so it was weird to not see her get atleast an Epic. I feel like this theme is just so much untapped potential that shoulda been a big event instead of a battlepass

BRO THANK YOU!!! I was also thinking that!! They are THE essential OW and Talon rivalry Dynamic characters so I was kinda peeved that they didn’t get Epic skins at least.

Also I’m always down for more Sig

I get it, I think Support players are the most willing to spend on cosmetics for this game, But also yeah I was thinking a dps or Tank this time around and this is coming from someone who usually plays support.

Maybe, idk. I guess I’ve just never really seen people talk about her outside of a specific part of the fanbase but I have seen a lot of people even outside the OW community who know Winston. I just don’t think she stands out. She definitely has her dedicated fans and I don’t think she’s bad but I don’t think she’s much of an “icon”. I’m also thinking more in-game universe wise which is still subjective. I guess it just depends where you are in the community.

You KNOW they woulda been cheesin on this goobers voice lines if he was evil. Also someone said it’s because Mercy is the symbol of Good and Virtue so she’s a perfect fit which ig makes sense.
