D.Va, Artanis and Genji have colors that reference Evangelion.

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.

The killing complaint against a Blue Ragnaros was that it looked too much like Jaina's Water Elemental.

That's not Conan, that's Xena.




Yeah, it's a stupid reason. I could understand it a little better if the reason given was because they didn't want to do unique ability effects for each skin, but that excuse falls apart too when you consider the Weird Rocky Bullshit skins for Thrall and Zul'jin.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone pick Water Elemental. I can barely even remember the last time I saw someone pick Jaina.

Jaina is still fine as a late pick. Genji and Tracer counter her really loving hard though, hence late pick

This is missing the Super Sonya skin being very heavily influenced by Cable.





I'm also convinced that Cyberhawk Kael is partially inspired to Stryfe.

The skin in general is a reference to Liefeld and his bullshit. The leotard and the metal arms/legs are Cable, the incredibly stupid loving swords and boxer headgear are Shatterstar, and the pouches all over are Liefeld's habit of completely covering every single character he ever drew in little leather pouches.

Edit: I can't help but link these articles every time Rob Liefeld is brought up, even if I'm the one bringing them up.

I had an all-Lunara brawl earlier this week and it was beyond awful.

On the other hand, in the one I just played I was the only healer/support on both teams (loving Lúcio no less) and I like to think his :sicknasty: heals were what enabled us to win in the end. :brrring:

I mean that I knew Xena, I was in high school when the show came out, I've made references to her relatively recently what with Wonder Woman coming out, and yet when I looked at that skin I said "that looks familiar, I think it's a Conan reference."

Posting here to bitch that I was getting sperged at by someone on my team on Hanamura for "not coming down to team fight" when I was soloing a top fort kill on Sonya. Also, we hit 10 first because I was doing that.

How is that not seen as a good thing?

Spoiler: we ended up losing that game.

This might be a weird question, but does Malthael have a silence? I played a game as him and got the 'Silencer' award at the end and I have no idea how. Is it... A joke about how he was known as the 'silent angel' in the backstory...?

It's a bug. I got 30 seconds of silence on a Thrall earlier
