Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I am annoyed that widow's left click is so good but people will still shoot 3% charge shots into people up close.
I want them to make her more of a skirmish sniper compared to hanzo, who is already less mobile than her and I would argue has a worse weapon for up close. As thematically inconsistent it would be to have the bow sniper be the superior long range option. But hanzo needs something to stand out from widow. And it should probably not be "nerf ever single part of widows kit" to do it.

Okay fair enough then give the bug some kind of burrow (possibly burrough) ability so they can get behind defensive encampments and kill the OP fucklord Bastion.

Probably, but not one I can name off the top of my head. But they seem intent on ticking a lot of diversity boxes with Overwatch. And frankly, Blizzard games have been pretty poor diversity wise for a while so I can't say it's a bad idea. I play Hearthstone casually, another Blizzard title, and I can't recall a single non-white human card. I'm not any kind of diversity crusader, but when even I notice all yours games are almost 100% whitewashed, it's gotta be pretty bad.

I wondered about that, but given that they haven't shown much otherwordly junk I decided that they seem to be constraining themselves to human/omnic, with the exception of Winston I guess, who seems to be some kind of GM Gorilla.

In FPS design in general you gotta make your characters either humanoid or giant or else you wind up with an Oddjob situation.

I really like playing Zarya but drat it her post-game cards are bullshit. Did 10,000 damage to the enemy team? Don't care. 8 billion objective kills? Nope, you're not junkrat! You popped 20 shields on your allies and blocked 2000 damage? WHOAH NELLY THAT DESERVES A CARD ALRIGHT!

Yeah except nobody ever votes for Zarya cards. I wouldn't be surprised if less than half the players understood what "Spent 70% of the game at high energy" meant.
