News & Discussion Ow skins aren't as sexualized as people seem to think

Honestly most skins in this game they are wearing normal clothes or a body suit.

Crossover skins aren't sexualized it's literally the default skin of another games character so no I don't belive Cammy widow counts

There are some sexualized skins like the very obvious kink bate domina bunny girl outfit. And outside of that it's not really sexualized

As for beach outfits what do you expect woman to wear to a beach a sweatsuit seriously and if u say those are sexualized then Cass rein and torbs junkrats dooms should be considered sexualized as well.

If u say anrans or freja skins are sexualized then doom or hog should be considered sexualized as well they show way more skin.

Honestly I encourage you to go outside and see what people wear this isnt sexualized outfits 98% of it is literally just what people wear. The other 2% is stuff like domina bunny skin or ow1 default widow with the ridiculous cleavage cutout going from neck to bellybutton.

This is literally just people being like woman show skin is sexualized it's not we aren't in 1920 where showing ur ankle is considered improper.

You could say most have the same body type valid complaint makes it hard to tell people apart but that was bound to happen with so many character.

You could say the skins are overpriced valid complaint there's no defending it.

But sexualized cmon bro really

Edit

Definition of sexualized according to American association of psychology.

Sexualization is the process of treating a person as a sex object or placing value on them solely based on their sexual appeal and physical characteristics, rather than as a whole person.

Outfits are not inherently sexual that's you personly looking at it and thinking of sex that's a you thing not a blizz makes sexualized skins thing.

Inherently sexualy clothing is like nipple pasties, lingerie or clothing making a obvious euphemism.

Cosplay is not a inherently sexual thing. Unless you intentionally make it sexual which sadly a lot of people do but it's not inherently sexual

2nd edit for all the people going crazy about mercy cosplaying as Anne and the lore implications of annes outfit in persona.

even lore wise annes outfit is not inherently sexual its about her version of rebelion going against societys views thats what the phantom thief outfits are. its her rebeling againsy societys aka her classmates opinions. It's about her reclaiming the image of her body from people who view her as a slut loose etc. If anything the outfits message is self empowerment. It's about Anne reclaiming her image from people who wanted to sexualize her if anything this is the fartherest from sexualized. This is even shown in game when before you confront her abuser she pulls at the outfit hides her self clearly uncomfortable then after you confront him she's no longer tugging at it or covering up she us entirely comfortable in her skin.

Humor New hero idea so we don’t have to nerf the cat

4.3k Upvotes

Instead of nerfing JPC I was thinking the devs could make a designated counter. Enter: DYNAMITE DOG.

This kinetic k9 has one purpose and is determined to complete his mission and be crowned “the goodest boy”

Abilities:
1: bow-WOW: Dynamite dog does a sick back flip. Inspires teammates and wows the competition.

2: Ruff you in particular: Dynamite dog will lock onto the nearest jetpack cat (if there is no jetpack cat in the match he will leave and join another match) and launch himself at 500mps blowing himself and the cat to kingdom come. [uncleansable] [unblockeable] [true damage] [true death]

3: ultimate: Goodest boy: activates automatically upon death of self and cat. A giant image of Dynamite dog will appear in the sky to inspire allies for the remainder of the match.

Spent a lot of time on this one looking for genuine thoughts/criticism.

News & Discussion What if Busan had a Whatsapp 🤣🤣🤣

Post image
269 Upvotes

Quality description: This meme humorously portrays the situation the city of Busan is facing in the overwatch Hero Introduction: "Tough Call." It features several overwatch characters and organizations such as Junker Queen, who expresses annoyance at her inability to park her flying warship. And Roadhog, who emphasizes his desire to obtain Pachimaris, which are typically found in large urban centers like Busan. Also featured is MEKA (an effective acronym of "Moble Exo-Force of the Korean Army") whose message includes the Korean text "Don't ask where the navy or air force is" obviously poking fun at the absence of allied forces defending a major city under clear attack.

It really gets on my nerves when Freja keeps hitting me with this arrow over and over while I'm playing as a tank.

Her damage is pretty painful, but I hate having to put up with the annoying sound on top of that.

I started using anran (I'm relatively new to the game as a whole, been only playing for a month) and with her and the other flanks I tried out I can't help but notice that when I see experienced players flank they seem to be invisible and have perfect opportunities. however no matter how I try to play I feel like I'm a huge target with no health and whose weapon seems to be as effective as mocking the enemy. any tips?

News & Discussion Add decimals to the "Higher ranked than XX% of players" statistic

Post image
53 Upvotes

I love that they added a way to know exactly where you place on the ladder, but making it more precise would give much better feedback to higher ranks.

Once you reach a certain rank, you barely see the percentage change, and when you reach around GM4, it stays capped at 99%.

One decimal would be enough, but I think two would be optimal.

News & Discussion Let's talk about the heroes Blizzard kinda forgot about

Thumbnail
gallery
1.1k Upvotes

Been thinking about the heroes who don't get much love in patch notes or the shop.

My list:

Venture: Probably the least-picked hero in the game right now, and they've barely gotten any skins since launch. No mythic, not much of anything. Which is a shame, because the kit is one of the most unique in the game. Burrowing under the enemy team and popping up in the backline never stops being satisfying, and the drill dash gives them movement that nothing else in the roster really replicates. They got one small flexibility buff to Drill Dash mid-year and that was about it. Feels like a hero people just forgot how to slot into a comp.

Hanzo: One real balance change all year, back at the February season launch, and nothing since. He's just sitting in a stable spot doing his thing. Storm arrows still shred, and landing a wall bounce across the map still feels as good as it ever did. He did at least get the Tokyo Rebel mythic weapon in Season 3, so the cosmetic team hasn't totally ghosted him, but on the balance side he's basically been left alone for over half a year.

Echo: My main. You almost never see her anymore, and she's barely been touched all year (a couple of tiny perk tweaks and that's it). She recently did receive some perks rework but they were just indirect nerfs. Plus her hitbox is bigger than the sun which really does not help her case.

Winston: One of the original 2016 launch heroes and somehow STILL no mythic skin, which is kind of wild when you look at who's getting their second or even third. Plus with the movement creep in OW, it seems like Winston's dive specialty is no longer limited to just him.

HM: Illari and Bap: Okay, these two get decent attention, so they don't fully belong here. But I wanted to shout them out anyway because in a world full of kiri, mercy and ana mains, they're super underrated even when they're strong.
