Modern AAA games be like
>Day 1: Tanks are big and burly
>......
>Day 2500: Marketable slim baddie girrrrl has a ~magical~ component that allows her to outtank, outheal and outqueen anyone.

Why'd they just fucking ditch Doomfist like that? He was black, they can't!
 
I always think Zarya (the russian pink girl) was cute.
At least in the first game, which has still a feminine face shape and a bodybuilder body.
Well, Ash from Paladins is near the same.

Did you see those Miniguns? They've a lot of weight. Explains a lot the muscles.
 
Anran (new orange woman) has nearly identical face to Kiriko's and it's become a big drama where people are now inspecting other female faces. I don't know how this here happens, but I guess laziness.

I miss DPS Doomfist. It was fun to flank shotting carries around.

I tried to load OW2 and I'm still permabanned for calling people faggots in ranked OW.
 
I have a theory that they designed her with the idea of making her masculine and muscly but didn't fully commit ala Zarya so she looks weird, like some half-and-half abomination. Then they added tech which makes her look bulky and unnatural. Her outfit is lame with legs on display to try and attract sexualized comments regarding her robotic thighs (the only womanly thing about her aside from the sinched waist) but there's not a flicker of femininity to her overall and the choice to give her white dreads with a fade was certainly a choice.

Too much focus was on trying to make her SpEcIaL and a Girl Boss, so she got clunky robotics, blue cyber eyes, and Soldier's personality. It's all eerie and off-putting when mixed together. They can't just make a pretty black woman because she'd end up looking like Mercy or Widow with darker skin and who would want that? The horror!

Imani from Paladins still has a bit of this type of design philosophy but she's WAY better composed than Sojourn. She fits the setting since Paladins is Sci Fi Fantasy and isn't a sore sight,
 
There's too many menus in Overwatch now. Choose a perk, menu. Try to mute/report somebody, menu. Stadium, menus on top of menus. Redeem your battle pass unlocks, menu. The screen is cluttered.
ngl Marvel Rivals got like this too it's kind of why I stopped playing these types of games. I just wanna get a few matches and then do something else instead of have to dig through menus mostly of things they want me to buy.

I've skipped through a few backlog essays on youtube and one of them's entire point was how much easier it was to get into a game that just had a continue button. Straight up into the thing you left. Yeah I fucking hate playing games only to realize there's 20 mins between save points. At least give me a one-off quit-save.
 
What an absolute mess coming right with their huge rebrand. This was a rake that Blizzard did not have to step on, but they can't help themselves. If you're an old player looking to return, rest assured that Blizzard hasn't changed at all!
