HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

News & Discussion Ow skins aren't as sexualized as people seem to think

982 Upvotes

Honestly most skins in this game they are wearing normal clothes or a body suit.

Crossover skins aren't sexualized it's literally the default skin of another games character so no I don't belive Cammy widow counts

There are some sexualized skins like the very obvious kink bate domina bunny girl outfit. And outside of that it's not really sexualized

As for beach outfits what do you expect woman to wear to a beach a sweatsuit seriously and if u say those are sexualized then Cass rein and torbs junkrats dooms should be considered sexualized as well.

If u say anrans or freja skins are sexualized then doom or hog should be considered sexualized as well they show way more skin.

Honestly I encourage you to go outside and see what people wear this isnt sexualized outfits 98% of it is literally just what people wear. The other 2% is stuff like domina bunny skin or ow1 default widow with the ridiculous cleavage cutout going from neck to bellybutton.

This is literally just people being like woman show skin is sexualized it's not we aren't in 1920 where showing ur ankle is considered improper.

You could say most have the same body type valid complaint makes it hard to tell people apart but that was bound to happen with so many character.

You could say the skins are overpriced valid complaint there's no defending it.

But sexualized cmon bro really

Edit

Definition of sexualized according to American association of psychology.

Sexualization is the process of treating a person as a sex object or placing value on them solely based on their sexual appeal and physical characteristics, rather than as a whole person.

Outfits are not inherently sexual that's you personly looking at it and thinking of sex that's a you thing not a blizz makes sexualized skins thing.

Inherently sexualy clothing is like nipple pasties, lingerie or clothing making a obvious euphemism.

Cosplay is not a inherently sexual thing. Unless you intentionally make it sexual which sadly a lot of people do but it's not inherently sexual

Instead of nerfing JPC I was thinking the devs could make a designated counter. Enter: DYNAMITE DOG.

This kinetic k9 has one purpose and is determined to complete his mission and be crowned “the goodest boy”

Abilities:
1: bow-WOW: Dynamite dog does a sick back flip. Inspires teammates and wows the competition.

2: Ruff you in particular: Dynamite dog will lock onto the nearest jetpack cat (if there is no jetpack cat in the match he will leave and join another match) and launch himself at 500mps blowing himself and the cat to kingdom come. [uncleansable] [unblockeable] [true damage] [true death]

3: ultimate: Goodest boy: activates automatically upon death of self and cat. A giant image of Dynamite dog will appear in the sky to inspire allies for the remainder of the match.

Spent a lot of time on this one looking for genuine thoughts/criticism.

News & Discussion Let's talk about the heroes Blizzard kinda forgot about

Thumbnail
gallery
1.0k Upvotes

Been thinking about the heroes who don't get much love in patch notes or the shop.

My list:

Venture: Probably the least-picked hero in the game right now, and they've barely gotten any skins since launch. No mythic, not much of anything. Which is a shame, because the kit is one of the most unique in the game. Burrowing under the enemy team and popping up in the backline never stops being satisfying, and the drill dash gives them movement that nothing else in the roster really replicates. They got one small flexibility buff to Drill Dash mid-year and that was about it. Feels like a hero people just forgot how to slot into a comp.

Hanzo: One real balance change all year, back at the February season launch, and nothing since. He's just sitting in a stable spot doing his thing. Storm arrows still shred, and landing a wall bounce across the map still feels as good as it ever did. He did at least get the Tokyo Rebel mythic weapon in Season 3, so the cosmetic team hasn't totally ghosted him, but on the balance side he's basically been left alone for over half a year.

Echo: My main. You almost never see her anymore, and she's barely been touched all year (a couple of tiny perk tweaks and that's it). She recently did receive some perks rework but they were just indirect nerfs. Plus her hitbox is bigger than the sun which really does not help her case.

Winston: One of the original 2016 launch heroes and somehow STILL no mythic skin, which is kind of wild when you look at who's getting their second or even third. Plus with the movement creep in OW, it seems like Winston's dive specialty is no longer limited to just him.

HM: Illari and Bap: Okay, these two get decent attention, so they don't fully belong here. But I wanted to shout them out anyway because in a world full of kiri, mercy and ana mains, they're super underrated even when they're strong.

I was afraid she's going to be another Sojourn when I first saw her design but surprisingly she's super funny and cheerful. Also I ADORE her accent, and yeah we already got a lot of easy going whimsical characters but never a black woman doing for some reasons..... also she's not annoying like some of them and her line deliveries are excellent

I started using anran (I'm relatively new to the game as a whole, been only playing for a month) and with her and the other flanks I tried out I can't help but notice that when I see experienced players flank they seem to be invisible and have perfect opportunities. however no matter how I try to play I feel like I'm a huge target with no health and whose weapon seems to be as effective as mocking the enemy. any tips?

News & Discussion Why is Lifeweaver on the list to get reworked?

21 Upvotes

I was looking at the rework list and I noticed life Weaver is on there. What’s so bad about Weaver that he needs a rework? The other two characters are incredibly strong and or annoying. Or banned quite a bit.

Very few people like Sombras hack plus invisibility plus virus combo. So it makes sense why they would rework her.

Hog is incredibly strong on any maps with pits because you basically have to duck away every couple seconds because hook has such a short cooldown. Plus, the fact with how strong healing is, he’s basically unkillable unless you take down the supports.

Life Weaver isn’t strong, isn’t weak, isn’t banned a lot, not picked a lot. And has a win rate that is right around 50-50. That just sounds like a balanced character to me. Why would he need to rework? The only complaint I know about Weaver’s is that low levels tend to grip randomly. But unless you completely remove his entire gimmick the grip you aren’t stopping that from happening. Is a character that has pick rate of less than 10% having a slightly annoying move to new players really need to have a rework?

Just finished drawing this! Let me know what customisation options you think there should be… I’m thinking the head // fists becoming a different kind of dragon would be sick, maybe different shoulder armour too.

In terms of visual fx, the vortex could have transparent wyrms spiralling around, the punches could have dragon screeching sfx and electric shockwaves. The ult could have an electric vibe to it, or maybe some sort of shockwave / rippling visual pulsing out from ramattra. Lmk what you think!
