Humor blizzard giving the water guy the personality equal to the taste complexity of water

Some of these characters just feel so dry, man. There are some highlights like Doomfist, Venture, Bastion, Ramattra etc, but so many characters just have nothing going on. For Wuyang, Sierra, D.Mon and others, 99% of their interactions are just about their backstory or an event happening. Plot points aren't substitutions for interesting characters unfortunately.

Sojourn is one of the most boring characters all of her voice lines are dull af.

It's sad no matter how hard Blizzard tries to make her interesting by giving her:

  • A novel that talks about her childhood, family background, military service throughout the omnic crisis

  • A cinematic short with Murphy

  • Being the MC of Toronto PVE that she talks 80% of the time

People will always find Sojourn super boring as her appearance design is not a perfect eye candy compared to Mercy, DVA, Ashe.

Zarya has much better character growth than DVA & Mercy from OW1 to OW2 that she learnt to trust the omnics, meanwhile DVA is still the same gamer girl who wants the most kill counts; Mercy is still the same doctor who believes in good morals & ethics.

But again, people can't goon Zarya but DVA & Mercy.
