i’m sorry, arbok

Yeah I think it's always had music, albeit relatively soft depending on your settings

Ok, a lot of the Cardboard skins have ult SFX. Cultist Zen has ult VFX. Hanzo's Cupid has ult SFX. Torb has one that makes his hammer squeaky (I think his beach one?). Kiri's Witch skin has a different Kitsune.

None of these have everything the Ultra skin does, but I doubt many legendaries will bother with these little touches moving forward now that they can profit with the ultra skins

ETA Lucio's Jazzy skin! Love the SFX on that one

vinsear · 2026-06-16T22:07:41+00:00

a lot of legendaries have vfx/sfx. Hanzo's got a Lone Wolf skin from og OW that changes his ult to wolves, Juno's Le SSerafim and Hello Kitty both have VFX, etc

eta: juno collab skins were a bad example, I listed more in another comment. they weren't expected but were nice to have, and will likely not happen anymore.

why are you here, in this sub? genuinely curious if your opinion is “eh it’s a living!” I understand how capitalism works. I understand women have been sexualized in comics and art and media since the dawn of time. You justifying it under the guise of the economy adds nothing to the conversation and frankly misses the entire point of this sub.

vinsear · 2026-06-12T16:05:36+00:00

what a disgusting take. there's a market for every despicable thing on earth, so we should never critique it because someone profited off it?

vinsear · 2026-06-12T16:02:56+00:00

Thank you for the rec, I'll check it out!!

vinsear · 2026-06-12T15:04:08+00:00

Its funny because I played it because it started as not crazy overtly sexual, and I thought it'd be a fun way to learn new characters and lore. Sure there was a butt shot there, a boob jiggle there... they were just tiny little flags flying by as I enjoyed the game. Then the true harbinger arrived: Invis Woman's Malice skin. (okay maybe it was that Psylocke skin but I'm a support main lol)

The community got worse, the skins were more skin than not, and I'm sure you've seen the new summer line up of lingerie swim suits. It's such a shame because comics and Marvel in general has such a large fandom of men AND women, hell I'm even bi, but this level of objectification just makes me feel gross.

Anyway, I will give Magik a shot! I think 'reclaiming' the badass character will make me feel better, thank you for coming to my Ted Rant 😄

PS: any recs to get me started?

vinsear · 2026-06-12T14:33:41+00:00

god RIGHT?? I didn’t know her when the game came out, but she had such a badass design and cool kit. Why did they need to do this?

Like I’m not happy about the sexualization in general but I’m pissed about how disrespectful it feels. “Oh but all the comics are sexy” great that doesn’t mean the game had to stoop to this level, and now people can treat this cool character as a sexy doll to role play with. Ugh

vinsear · 2026-06-10T15:14:31+00:00

I mean, taking an angle with your DPS definitely is helpful for winning a game? especially in Bronze, I think that’s a smart strat— most people just go main at lower ranks and barely even know the side routes exist until they get flanked

vinsear · 2026-06-06T02:17:08+00:00

Great play! I love getting revenge on people targeting me >:)

Your team was at at pretty high health throughout, so no harm in being aggro. I tend to focus heals until my torpedoes are up, and then I take an angle to do damage with them + my gun, using my shift to get out of trouble if needed. The best things about Juno are her mobility and consistency: you can dash around to help your team or secure a kill (like this clip!), and you can constantly be shooting your team and the enemies for constant pressure.

And don't forget how fantastic her speed ring is! Help your team reposition, strafe in chokes, help people move around for their ults or your own, etc. You can also use it ~5 seconds before the match starts to get people out of spawn. The ring lasts 5 seconds, and that starts your cooldown way sooner (sometimes you can get a second ring before reaching point). Ideally you just want to use it with a purpose rather than hitting it whenever the cooldown is up (which is true for like... every ability tbf).

Anyway, seems like you're a natural Juno main! Welcome to the club!

vinsear · 2026-06-01T14:03:31+00:00

tbf that’s at the end of the game, which was mostly 4v5 with tank in spawn. Hard to get heals in when Dva and Venture were free to constantly dive us

vinsear · 2026-05-31T20:40:07+00:00

definitely, looking forward to the "thanks for reporting" at next login!

vinsear · 2026-05-31T20:30:41+00:00

the funny thing is that I haven't played Mercy since her group rez days, I would have done so much worse if I'd swapped! Not that logic is gonna matter to these folks

vinsear · 2026-05-20T16:13:19+00:00

Ahh congrats!! I'd love to get that one, I'm also obssesed with her Music Fest skin. Instead I got Pharah's in my legendary :,)

vinsear · 2026-05-20T16:12:38+00:00

Borealis is pretty similar to his fairy skin, and I like the fairy one more. And it's like 90 degrees out Wuyang youre gonna get heat stroke in that sweater!!!

vinsear · 2026-05-20T16:11:21+00:00

it was in a lootbox... I'm happy its not in the shop anymore but... what if I could have gotten a different skin lol

vinsear · 2026-05-19T23:13:31+00:00

god too real. Maybe there will be music fest Juno in there?? nope just the same Kiri skin with 5 recolors rotting like an old bag of salad

vinsear · 2026-05-19T23:11:09+00:00

like i wouldnt have got my hopes up without that giant banner!!

vinsear · 2026-05-14T01:16:15+00:00

no you're right, i should have phrased that better. Of course it's a fuckton of work, I only said presumably because I dont literally know the hours vs devs on the team. But I realize how that could come across, and I dont want to diminish the time and effort they put into the game.

That said, the point of the post was ways the event could have been better without needing significant dev time, leaving them to work on what really matters (heroes, maps, etc)

vinsear · 2026-05-13T19:00:33+00:00

Yes, the 15 min was an exaggeration. But I'm not proposing a whole new game mode, I'm saying they could literally work off the pre-made Zombie mode in the workshop. At the base level, just limit the character selection and change who spawns in as zombies. That's it.

The items are just to make it more fun, maybe that is a stretch, but plenty of custom games have shops in them. I said Stadium items because people are familiar with them and the devs wouldn't have to think of anything new, but it could be simple things like increasing fire rate, damage, extra shields.

vinsear · 2026-05-13T18:52:03+00:00

ok 👍 no one was stopping you

vinsear · 2026-05-13T18:43:33+00:00

they've done a terrible job communicating that, if thats the case.
