That Amaterasu skin is just.. so much wasted potential. It looks like trash, and is poorly executed. They continue to be confused on the right design and aesthetic for the Japanese character that eats donuts, sounds like a valley girl, and looks like Tracer's twin sister. Seems like the decision to not play this season is a good one. But I might need to get that one punch man Doom skin later on down the line.

Not to stick up for the multibillion dollar corporation but, like, what should Kiriko look and sound like then? It's not unrealistic that she could've picked up her accent from television or holos or whatever the gently caress they have in the future and they also have donuts in Japan. Face wise, all of the women aside from Mei and Moira have extremely similar features and I wish they'd do more with that.

Seeing the slap mercy with that many nerfs brings a tear to my eye. That mobility was ridiculous and if she was healing someone you pretty much just had to leave unless you hit perfect headshots.

Ok, great. That's how that works, right? That's a huge buff by itself, let alone also buffing other things at the same time. Blizzard never learns; change O N E thing at a time, wait 2 weeks, if more needs changing, change more.

I don't want to push it too hard since I don't think anyone here is being weird about this at this point, but coming from a white/Japanese blended family who grew up in southern California, yeah, Kiriko is what my Japanese cousin and extended-family faux cousins all sound like so I kind of think that is nice. We got enough characters that sound like my aunts in video games.

She is a character who has supposedly spent her whole life in Japan. It doesn't really make sense for her to sound like she was born and raised in Orange County California when every other character in the game linked to her doesn't. It's not a super big deal, it's just quite odd.

Not a *huge* fan of the Mercy reverse slingshot nerf but the cooldown change is manageable with the buff to healing below 50% Good luck killing a pocketed Orisa!

We got enough characters that sound like my aunts in video games. it's just another aspect of her character that doesn't quite fit. she's supposed to be fully japanese because she's nebulously related to the shimadas and their plotline and for better or for worse those dudes uhhh do not sound like that. and they could have written around that in a million ways (even just a "uhhh studied overseas") but they just don't really care to get that nuanced, so you get kiriko sounding like literally no one else who appears in her reveal trailer or background story. she sounds like all my Japanese cousins too but my cousins weren't raised in Japan, which is why they don't have Japanese accents (and can't double jump). hey speaking of race in ow have they ever acknowledged pharah as mixed-race after they hastily added in a first nations dad to justify that one skin

Kiriko had less than 50% winrate at high levels, she doesn't need further nerfs. Mercy on the other hand is unhinged and super tedious to deal with and I'm a Support main. Honestly I agree with just about every change in Season 3 except maybe Shatter's direct damage nerf. Brig's changes sound really good and I think a lot of folks are sleeping on her right now. I agree with the Ana nade nerf; I think she's really strong at the moment. Now I just need them to remove the cast time on nano so it doesn't fizzle out when I use it on a target that was alive and their HP drops to 0 before the heal goes off  I think the Wrecking Ball changes are maybe too good, the barrier HP thing is fine but buffing piledriver and mines is gonna SUCK. He's already a nightmare to deal with if they're any good. novaSphere fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 6, 2023 |

Yeah, the support changes look pretty decent. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes things up. I don't understand the Zenyatta buff at all though, I wonder what the motivation was behind that.
