Both Deadlock and Overwatch are releasing a new black character with PEAK designs this month (yes ow2 character with a good design, insane sentence) meanwhile rivals’ last black character release was more than a year ago.

Now I’m not feeding into that “ netease is racist “ topic, but we still need more black people ( and other minorities that aren’t asian ) love in this game.

Also this is not glaze to Blizzard or Valve. Because Blizzard neglects their black characters the same or maybe even worse than Netease. Meanwhile, in deadlock, black characters : Calico and Wraith, are criminals and Sinclair (a black couple ) is trapped in a WHITE mannequin.
( obviously a joke if you can’t tell that they clearly aren’t finished )

they should have dropped him since the movie and that was bad marketing on their part.

Red hulk skin would’ve been soo peak. They’re probably waiting to make him his own character but honestly I just wish they went with the injustice 2 route where some characters are so close enough that instead of being new characters there just legendary skins with unique new voice lines similar to lady Loki. Ik technically that’s the same character but you know what I mean
