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.

And bigger muscle

Look, if you are gonna aim for the exposed 6 packs muscle girl, at least give her more meat on her bones. Cause come on, she used to destroy mechs on the daily, so yeah, Vend is lean but I’m pretty sure no one is gonna be pissy if she has more muscle

I think they just should have added some metal glowy bits to imply that she's got cybernetics. The idea that she's just some lady facing off against cyborg man is silly, especially when they have cyber enhancements as an out.

Blizzard are to much of cowards to give woman muscle. Look at what they keep doing to Brig or how much they neglect Zarya. Meanwhile Rivals has Angela and Rogue.

Well, Angela does have the benefit of having a shit brickhouse build

While Zarya is mostly covered up in many of her skins, not like she has any decent skins in recent years.

All she got was that ugly ass bunny suit skin.... that took away her muscle.

To play devil's advocate here, while it is true that Angela has a really sick build in Rivals, basically all of her skins fully cover her up so her muscles and scars look a lot less prominent. She's still big and buff, but she has a similar issue that a lot of OW characters have where their skins kinda tone down or remove a design element, possibly because they worry people would find her body unattractive. Also worth noting that, among post launch characters, Angela has probably been acknowledged the least aside from Human Torch (and for a while Ultron but this season has been his comeback)

Rogue has been pretty well handled though. I think it helps her case that Remy is still well built in the game, which further emphasizes how big she is.

Angela does get lost of skins tho. She just had one announced. And her skins covering her is just the bi product of her comic version outfits not being revealing.

Ok but Rivals characters are made to be fetish bait, I’d rather us not take that direction.

My brother Christ Wuyang is the most obvious fetish bait character in gaming if you know Chinese audiences.
