the fat characters
are bizzare
I saw a twitter clip going through the full roaster and their quips they say as you select them
oh, I found that video
ok, timestamped
Second character has the eye makeup the chinese like
wait, that's a guy
I thought it was a fat woman
lmao
Putting pronouns on the fucking character select screen for every fucking fictional character is so fucking funny
it goes beyond normal pandering where it would be some optional flavour text lore log thing
yep, top right
undecided is also very funny
"How should I refer to you?"
"I do not know, please help"
I think 5/16 of the characters have a decent design (excluding default soldier)
but of those 5, 2 are just copies of Guardians of the Galaxy characters
I am impressed none of them have vitalgo or whatever its called
That is another thing I saw on twitter, I never realized how much these weirdo's like that and want everything to have a character with it
all these character games need to launch with 30 characters minimum imo
OW had 21 on-launch, but added 5 or so in the first year
Overwatch did the right move though even for their roaster size
they hyped you up with pixar animations
so people were attatched to the characters right off the bat
Hell, I never played the game other than OW2, but I still think foldly on the characters from the early OW1 animations
the question should also be "is this character design something that someone would want to cosplay"
not for 100% of characters
but it's a good fallback if you're unsure about a design
I went through,
Mushroom head is okay
Haunt is alright (can't see her, full suit)
The pink robot is okay but is ust a rip off of the blue robot from guardians,
the fat yellow robot is funny
Those are the 4 I think are decent
The 2 guardians of teh galaxy clones I counted too
and Pika
Haunt is their class
not the name
oh lol
yeah, the classes are just as retarded as the pronouns
This is bad UI design
I see pronouns, I just assume the thing next to it is the name
Tactician - Improved reload speed
Ranger - Lower weapon recoil
Haunt - Higher mobility
Anchor - Higher amount of healing received
Breacher - Lower Dodge cooldown
Warden - Increased weapon range
these are their classes, instead of DPS, tank, support
These names tell you nothing. If you said you were playing a ranger, I'd assume higher range, possibly better mobility
the way the game works Pika, is matches are best of 5
and after you win, the class you won with is locked (not just character)
>best of 5
too long, that is also bad game design for the current gamer
matches are ~2 minutes
lmao
they're CSGO/Valorant style
Valorant is best of 11, mind you Pika
no ults in the game
essentially zero respawn time
Just fucking release instant respawn 32 player 2fort as a stand alone game
it'll sell
needing to swap class every game
is just dumb
with only 16 heros
Its dumb regardless
(you can have dupes on each team)
forcing any swap is dumb, but locking out "similar" heroes
is assinine
people get motivated to play more because they pick their favourite character and play with them
If tf2 made me stop playing huntsman sniper after a round, I would probably not have played 1000 hours of tf2
"oh you won a game as Pyro, sorry Scout/soldier are locked now too)
See Dialga, I think there's a charm to that almost
Dialga, I can already think of ways to make that really fun
if the playerbase was big enough that you could reliably queue as your character
I'd be down
first, screen is black until the game loads in
second, screen opens, all the characters are on random places on the screen
you have to race to get to the one you want
