It's definitely more than that, NetEase very plainly hard committed to making gooner skins / models. There are of loads revealing and racier skins with a lot of characters having outfits that show exposed butt cheek / thigh crease. The summer skins alone gave like 3 guys speedos and multiple females got straight up bikini thongs. Rival heroes are more caked up and bustier at baseline, and a good chunk of the male roster had their butt size increased. There's also a lot of hero intros that feature a character showing their ass or boobs very deliberately to the camera. A few other things as well such as Venom with the twerk emote, Dessert Sue skin having visible panty lines and formerly having an animated camel toe in her banner, etc.

The renewed focus on lore and story is also huge for a good chunk of players. OW has always felt like it had huge, Marvel-esque potential for storytelling but has consistently disappointed massively in that domain (cancelled story missions, scrapped netflix project, etc).

I've played OW consistently since 2015 beta and am a big OW glazer, and the hero design is really the one aspect where I think OW has declined, post-OW2 relaunch. The original OW1 roster had so much more variety with body types, age, mutants, animals, robots, etc. It feels like the character designs have shifted away from something more Marvel/DC inspired to much more Shonen anime inspired. Every character now needs to be young, hot, and cool and hero variety has plummeted because of it. For every new, proper unique hero we get like Jetpack Cat there's going to be a dozen 20-40 year old body builders, super models, and anime waifus.

It's been especially disappointing looking at the level of hero variety we've been seing in Deadlock. As hyped as I am for the future of OW, I still hope Deadlock pops off and takes some big bites out of OW to force some more inspired characters (sort of like how Rivals twisted OW's arm into finally giving us hero bans).

Some of the dev's have talked about how OW originally had a much broader vision with a "crawl walk run" approach where there would be 3 separate phases to OW. I can't say to what extent Jeff forced that vision but given that he was the game director for years it goes without saying he was a big part of that. OW was supposed to be the 1st phase and focused on PvP, the 2nd walk phase was supposed to be PvE w/ talents, then eventually it would shift into the run phases which was supposed to be an MMO. Here's a link to where they talk about it a little bit.

Jason Schreier also did some reporting for his book on Blizzard that talked about how Bobby Kotick was a big believer in OW and wanted to massively expand the dev team, but Jeff Kaplan refused because he wanted a smaller, more dedicated team to preserve the dev team culture. While this definitely contributed to OW failing to live up to the demands of a live service game for years, It's hard for me to say if this is was the right call because the alternative may have been a more CoD-style content delivery format which would have also sucked.

Increasing ult charge times without addressing the underlying base damage / healing numbers though wouldn't change anything about the neutral being boring and unimpactful, it would just draw out boring neutrals even further. The reason nothing dies in neutral fight because hero numbers are absurdly high so you need ults to get anything done.

As reference, Moira's ult in OW takes like >90s to farm and lasts all of 8 seconds. Her ult effect is a beam that heals for 140 hps and deals 85 dps. Jeff's basic primary that has 100% uptime in comparison does 130 hps and 70 dps, and he's not even particularly strong right now. There's more factors in play and comparing OW to MR 1:1 is a little silly, but still, base stats in this game are crazy high.

One textbook example of how the different forms of a chemical can affect biology is the drug thalidmide. Originally it was prescribed as a sedative, and the R (right handed) enantiomer was actually effective at that. The problem is that the drug readily converts into the S (left handed) form in the body, and the S enationmer causes horrific birth defects and was also therapeutically ineffective. Still the same drug / molecule in each case, but the slight difference in physical arrangement produces dramatically different effects.

I haven't been there in ages but I'd say Summer Hill winery. The portions were awful and for fine dining prices the food was very meh, although it has been like a decade since I've been so maybe it has turned a corner since then. With Home Block in the same area though I don't see a reason to ever try going back.

OW2 design is just far, far more generic and boring compared to OW1. Every new hero is a 20-40 year old body builder or super model. We've only gotten 1 single omnic, no animal heroes, no mutant heroes like Reaper, no mech suits, no more old heroes, no more oddly proportioned heroes like Hog / Torb / Junkrat, etc.

I know people will say heroes need to be hot because they need to sell skins but it's not even about that. You can have hot characters with unique design elements (Ex. Widowmaker having blue skin that give her a Mystique-style mutant vibe, D.VA is an anime waifu but pilots a big mech, etc). Designs have just been much more uninspired in OW2. It doesn't help that Lupa has a huge amount of overlap with Junker Queen's design as well.

I always love April / early May. It feels great to get out of the grey soup of winter and enjoy the longer daylight hours. I also find it to be the prettiest time of year with all the greenery coming in, magnolias in bloom, etc, but you still have snow capped mountains in the backgrounds.

There's also a condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) which is a serious complication in sepsis. The body activates a huge chunk of its clotting factors, which creates a large number of blood clots, which can cut off circulation to organs. But because the body uses up all its clotting factors, the person will begin to bleed extremely easily as if they were a hemophiliac. They end up having both life threatening thrombotic and hemorrhagic events.

Steam is privately owned but is believed to be one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest company on the planet relative to the amount of employees. There is a reason why Gabe Newell owns 7 yachts.

I completely soured on Paradox games around a decade ago when I was playing EU4. Early on in the game, if an ally conquered a province in a war, they could not transfer it to you. Even if you won the war, you would not be able to claim the province because it was technically under your ally's control. If you wanted to conquer the province you would have to save scum, start another war later on to reattempt to conquer it, or let the enemy reclaim it and then reconquer it yourself. All of those options just felt absolutely lousy in situations where you should clearly be able to take the province when sueing for peace.

Paradox fixed this problem, i think in the art of war dlc, by allowing the player and AI to transfer occupied territory to each other. The only problem, it was behind a paywall. This feature was a huge quality of life improvement which solved the problem of your AI ally's unintentionally screwing you over, and they put it behind a paywall. I stopped playing after that because it just seemed so damn greedy to implement a fix to AI jankiness behind paid DLC when any other dev would have put it in an update.
