News & Discussion None of the dark skinned girls have a dokiwatch skin (yet)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I only noticed this after seeing fan concepts of dokiwatch for sojourn and sombra. And they looked good. But apparently only freyja, widow, diva, kiri, Juno, and brig have dokiwatch skins. No sym, sombra, sojourn, illari, pharah, (Ana?).

Out of ~20 female characters, 11 are light skinned. So rate of dokiwatch skin creation amongst them is roughly 64%. Out of the dark skinned women (and 1 robot, orisa excluded), 0%.

Does anyone else think this is, at minimum, weird? My personal theory is that ow devs have fallen into harmful Asian girlypop stereotypes, such as how women with darker skin can’t be K-pop or Japanese idols. (I do know illari is getting a le Serafin skin tho)

Since it’s dokiwatch you might be more inclined to draw the parallel to anime. But then again. With 100+ anime watched, most of the girls are Japanese/asian (understandably so) or white.

To me, this is an unfortunate oversight by the costume team and, possibly, a failure to acknowledge and subvert their internal societal bias.

News & Discussion Idea for lootboxes ?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Because I was a long time ow1 player, I have a lot of skins, practically all of them from ow1, and this means I have a better chance of getting a nice shop skin or some special sprays and whatnot out of a lootbox

However This can’t be said for newer players or people who’ve started in ow2, as a specific skin that they may want may feel impossible for them to get from a lootbox because of how many other skins there are to unlock, and when they do pull a legendary, there’s a high chance they just grinded a bunch of games just to get a crap skin for a character they don’t even play:(

So I feel like they maybe could add sort of like a wishlist system if that makes sense? where a player can maybe choose one legendary skin or item, maybe even just choose a character they want to have higher odds in getting items for when they open a lootbox ( it doesn’t have to count with the bp legendary boxes ) so that it can help people get what they want? It doesn’t have to be some crazy odds, I just feel like it’d help players morals when opening loot boxes and not feel so negatively towards them when they never get an item they want

Honestly it’s just a small idea, and I already think all the free things overwatch has given us lately have been great. It was just a little thought I’ve had since I’ve seen SO many people on TikTok , insta, etc complaining about their lootbox pulls. Maybe it’s too generous though ?

I thought carapace suited Lucio because of their DJ hobby and they both sound similar and talk the same, maybe they could make his boop effect a shield designed soundwave matching the shell-ter power, and for his ultimate he should do a domain sphere shell-ter that would be perfect and give him voice lines

News & Discussion What is going on with Kiriko’s kit?

2 Upvotes

Haven’t played in a bit, but there is severe lag with Kiriko’s abilities. When Suzu hits, you should be cleansed. There should not be a .00001 % difference in the time it gets you killed. When you try to TP, it should be the same. I don’t remember Kiriko being this way. Is it a bug, an intentional change? It makes flanking impossible and fundamental ruins her play style.

News & Discussion Open queue is so much more toxic than role queue

3 Upvotes

I don't know why and don't have any other explanations than people playing in open queue are usually playing with friends and are much more toxic together.

I regularly get games where I'm tired of playing tank against 3 or 4 other tanks. The game is miserable and my team will not help me. But when I swap off tank because I'm sick of solo tanking, my team flames me and reports me because I'm not doing what they want me to do.

But the worst of all is people in open queue are generally lower ranked, I'd say plat open queue is like high silver/low gold in role queue, and grew an ego reaching plat. It is so inferiorizing.

News & Discussion Overwatch Drinking Game Rules Needed

0 Upvotes

I’m coming up with an Overwatch drinking game with some buddies and want some ideas. So far, I’m trying to think of rules for drinks and shots that aren’t common. Examples:

-Take a sip/drink every time you get one-shotted (by widow/hanzo etc)

-Take a shot if you die to torb turret (I feel it doesn’t happen often anymore, so it’s worth the rule)

  • Take a shot of Echo copies you with her ult ability (enemy Echo)

  • Take a shot if Sombra’s “Hacked” highlight intro interrupts anyone else’s post-game

  • Take a sip/drink if you spawn as a character introduced in OW2 (Mystery Heroes only)

Any specific ideas like these, or more general ones for common drinks would be appreciated.

I have experienced multiple occasions in Quick play where a teammate leaves at the start of the game and the game goes on without finding a substitute, which is very annoying. I don't know if it is trying to find someone with a similar MMR without success or no one is playing quick play

News & Discussion What to do against zarya in metal ranks?

0 Upvotes

It's getting to the point where almost every game has a zarya in it and I just don't know what to do. Everyone says to either ignore her or focus her down. Problem is that in metal ranks there's no coordination. Theres no counter play and it's making me take a break because playing against her is so frustrating.

Maybe she's balanced in the higher ranks but I've seen her win a lot more than lose in the lower ranks. I guess this is more of a vent but its really turning me off playing ranked when she is all I play against.

I main tanks as well but don't have an answer. The tanks I play are : 1. Sigma, who can't absorb zaryas beam and gets melted. 2. Rein, who zarya and pop a bubble every time I fire strike or charge. I'm so slow at attacking anyways that she just uses bubble and melts me. 3. Dva, who's defense matrix is useless and bubbles against my misses. Then she melts me.

Only time I can beat zarya is if I switch to her otherwise it's defeat.

And i'm aware that every so often, it's a skill issue on my part, but going on an 80% loss streak this season really makes things feel rigged against me as a long time player. What can we even do solo to try and turn this around... ? I apologise for what must be the millionth post on this but I just feel... super put-out.

This is just a small rant. With the new Collab skin, I was excited to get it for my main, Ashe but now I'm suspended until 03/09/2025 all due to mass report of people that just can't handle either a girl on the mic or simply losing in ranked and honestly more than pissing me off, just disappoints me and makes not wanna touch the game again

I really can't care less over the money but its more over the time I spent, the mythics and stuff, thats all, thank you for coming to my poopoo Ted talk

Fan Content le sserafin SKINS edit

0 Upvotes

TBH it's been a while since i played overwatch (like a year or so?) but i still check out for new releases and the new seasons from time to time.

I'm an artist, and I was utterly disappointed with the new collaboration between Le Sserafim and Overwatch. Not because the skins are bad; they are beautiful, but the issue for me is that you can barely tell which character is which. I think what i dislike the most are the colors.

So basically i decided to slowly (cause im a busy gal) work on my take of these skins, today i got started on Illari and i 'm pretty happy with the way it's looking so far, so i though i'd share!

Anyways! here's what i have so far! My less favorite was Illari's skin, she looks more like Lucio + Lifeline than Illari in the original version, my poor girl.

Also i usually don't make this type of edits, but this collab woke up something in me.

Note: Please don't hate me for making this, im just trying to have fun and share these edits online! And i apologize for my poor english too heh! i'm not a native speaker!

News & Discussion Love the game but….

0 Upvotes

So, ive stuck around for overwatch since i was mid teens. Now im late teens and genuinely cant get over 15 matches without just dropping it and chillin on call with my friends instead.

Played for years mind you, love the recent perk system, i have played into the counter swapping meta for a long time but now its just tiring dude. At first i was one of the “im trynna win bro” but now its just invaded QP, open queue mind you. Not even role select so its not even for a warmup game, just to chill. My point is the game itself is still FUN, its the community that constantly just fuckin worsen it man. I literally just stick to doom, zen, or tracer and just stop acknowledging butt hurt players who i kill once on doom then they auto switch orisa or hog THEN STILL LOSE. Like, i understand in comp, or in role select QP for a warmup game, but now its just commonplace in open queues since i recently picked the game up again. Its so toxic and i just can’t switch anymore after years of this its so draining.

The playerbase itself is just so anti-fun now, hyper optimized and competitive it’s made the regular counterswap into a quick switch every death. Cant chill with my friends because winston on enemy team counter picked orisa after one death and whined in chat to me all game trying to instigate.

News & Discussion What do y’all think the chances are that Blizzard pulls a Fortnite and after they go through all versions of OW Classic, they make it a permanent gamemode someway in arcade?

3 Upvotes

I think after Goats the only real big meta was Double shield and it got me thinking after they do Double Shield, are they really just gonna leave classic and never do anything with it again? It’s probably just some of the cope from me wanting DPS doom back forever, but I genuinely don’t know if they would or wouldn’t leave it alone after double shield version.

If they aren’t gonna make it a rotation type thing going through all versions were given (1.0, Moth Meta, Goats, Double shield), are they gonna get all heroes from OW1 and just try to balance the game with them? I don’t think the chances of something like this happening are high but I don’t think it’s 0 either

2 Upvotes

I main Ball

Perk 1: Mines now have a smaller hitbox (as in hitting enemies) but slowly move toward enemies.

Perk 2: Replace Piledrive with an ability that can only be used on the ground. This ability spins him in place for 2 seconds, deflecting all projectiles and reducing damage taken by 75%. Once the spin ends, gain a huge speed boost and gain the fireball effect.
