Getting mad at a company for putting clothing on their cartoon women is not the same as wondering why a company is needlessly drawing women who lack clothing though. They aren't equivalent at all.

No equivalence was being drawn. Duder was saying blizzard is trying to please two camps at once, so going full on one way or the other will displease the other side.

Youd have to be extremely dense to be wondering why for one of those though. Asia is getting close to the biggest market if they arent already

I don't live in Asia so I can't confirm that fact.

I'm still excited as gently caress to play Alex she looks hella fun and I really love the colour red, just the jiggle physics seem needless and unnecessary pandering to me.

I've been playing really poorly lately, even with my favorite heroes. It's like I'm getting lazy. I'll get into a teamfight and help secure a few kills but almost always go down in the process.

I got a whole bunch of tints for it. I didn't think much of it at first, but then I noticed the plaits flopping around her head and it became a 10/10

So be happy that she discovered the joy of pants instead of going with a more "faithful" design, I guess.

As an aside, fun fact: the models of Alexstraza and Ysera were based on Sylvanas.

Funny story: Chris Metzen was showing his young daughter around Blizzard HQ one day, and his daughter asked, when seeing Alexstrasza and Sylvanas "Daddy, why do all the ladies wear swimsuits?"

And his response was something like "...I don't know. I just don't know anymore." :allears:

To be fair, that was from an interview at Blizzcon 2014, which was the same Blizzcon that had the Overwatch trailer, so Widowmaker's design was already public by the time he made that quote.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
The Lili cups change is interesting. It's on a 20s! cooldown now, but it increases based on how much you heal people during cups. So if you pop cups and get stunned out of it right away it will be up 20s later. If you get a full length heal out of it it will be on 70s cooldown. Or... if you pop cups to try to save someone's rear end and they die right away, it will still be up again 20s later. Seems pretty good.

And Kung Fu Hustle (level 20) is now baseline... although they've presumably balanced around that now.

Worth noting that the Alarak announcer is a legendary announcer, and thus costs 1600 doritos.

I mean it's worth it, but just for the record.

E: Holy poo poo it's great.

I mean I figured as much without even needing to check, Blizzard knows what their players want. When they released a wave of new emotes for Overwatch last year one of them included D.Va taking a seat in her mech to play games and slam Doritos and Dew. Every other emote in the line was priced at something like 250 blizzbucks except for that one, which was (and still is) a cool 1,000.
