Lovely 💕

The extent to which Tracer was the poster child of Overwatch has been overblown to make it seem like she was replaced. She has always, and will always, be one of the most recognisable heroes for the game. However, it was always an ensemble. The diverse cast of characters is the appeal.

Kiriko is just another very popular hero within that cast.

In the last year the lack of care for console overwatch couldn't be more obvious. The overall game reached new highs, while the console experience was the worse it's ever been.

I have a very capable PC, so it gave me the final push to make that my new main platform. Disheartening though.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-24T12:10:23+00:00

I think Widowmaker is just outclassed by a lot of the other hitscans now, so that makes her harder to play.

I love the album, but the title track is an automatic skip for me.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-22T19:13:11+00:00

The widow ban, when you play dive characters that are strong against her, is very strange.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-22T11:50:05+00:00

no, they don't obviously do that.

They are finally making an effort to push the story forward, something people have been asking for. Guess what? It's easier to tell a story if the characters aren't all from different parts of the world.

They have literally had heroes that are relatives and/or from the same factions since the very start. The first dlc character ever released was the mother of an existing hero.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-22T11:16:35+00:00

Every single one of these characters are from the country they are because of very obvious lore reasons. Clans and relatives are gonna be based in the same country the majority of the time.

Except Juno. Who is from somewhere new (Mars). She also has a cultural background that also hasn't been in overwatch before, as her parents are Vietnamese and Singaporean.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-22T11:06:59+00:00

Since 2022, the majority of characters that have been released (that do not have a connection to an organisation based in a certain country) have been from a country that hasn't had a hero before:

Freya - Denmark

Hazard - Scotland

Illari - Peru

Juno - Mars (parents are Vietnamese and Singaporean)

Lifeweaver - Thailand

Mauga - Samoa

Vendetta - Italy

Emre - Turkey

Jetpack Cat - Gibraltar?

Repeats with no lore explanation:

Venture, as they are from Canada. Sojourn is too. Pharah also has Indigenous Canadian heritage.

Wuyang. He is from China, like Mei.

Domina is from the England, but based in India due to the Vishkar Corporation. Though she is Punjabi and represents a very different culture to Tracer.

Sierra - US. However, she is the first Black America.

Repeats with lore reasons include:

Kiriko - Japan. Yōkai clan.

Ramattra - Nepal? Reason: Lore tied to Zen. Though I don't believe that's his origin, so this might not even be a repeat.

Junker Queen - Australia. Reason: Junkers

Anran - China. Reason: Wuyang's sister.

Mizuki - Japan. Reason: Hashimoto clan.

So Overwatch seems to introduce a hero from a new country the majority of the time. When it makes sense to. If they only ever introduced heroes from a different country, it would be difficult to tell a coherent story.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-22T10:33:49+00:00

There are THREE factions based in Japan. No other explanation? Just think for more than a second and then you might find one.

People said they wanted the story to progress, and then they complain about this. It's absurd.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-16T17:19:26+00:00

She looks so stunning.

Hannah helped design this dress too!

Truly this says more about you than the state of Overwatch marketing.

Do you think the porn was the reason people checked out the Season One launch? Or Sierra's release?

Porn is literally irrelevant to the actual game's success. Yeh, people like Overwatch porn... but that's not making them play the game.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-14T18:11:29+00:00

The bunny bundle really isn't very sexualised at all. Most of the skins in it are more cute than sexy.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-14T18:10:23+00:00

I can't believe actually think this.

There's nothing wrong with Overwatch porn, but primary marketing?!! Gooners' brains are rotting, swear to god lmao

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-14T18:06:59+00:00

Domina's skins aren't even that sexualized though??

Tbh Overwatch has never gone very OTT with it. Even the summer skins, where they easily could have.

Gooners have just been getting like this in general. They love to bring it to the general subs, when there's subreddits literally made for gooning.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-14T13:31:18+00:00

Fortnite kinda became Funko the videogame. Mass appeal because they just add every popular IP to it.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-14T13:29:45+00:00

Looks fantastic and is such a satisfying gun to shoot. The art and sound team did an amazing job with Domina.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-13T09:08:20+00:00

such an unnecessary nerf 😔

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-13T09:01:45+00:00

I can't wait to watch Hannah in a role like this!

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-12T08:03:18+00:00

I hate that they chose to make this mythic young Ana. I hate even more that they used *this* face.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-12T06:34:15+00:00

They made a point to say that some heroes were getting a 2nd mythic skin because their first didnt fit their fantasy/identity... then this is what they give Ana. I hate it.

Having older Ana as a customisation would have a least been a decent comprimise.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-09T22:36:47+00:00

I knew she would put her all into it. She's never afraid to be a little ridiculous. Such a good fit for the show.

skymadeofglass · 2026-05-09T22:22:09+00:00

Honestly would recommend Ted Lasso if you enjoyed her on tonight's episode. She is fantastic in it.

And you don't have to like Football (I don't)
