Ok it’s not just me. Honestly I’ve come across maybe three “nice guys” in mmos - they want to do stuff with you in the hopes of a future plane ride to sex without regard to the other person’s feelings - but even they wouldn’t give away free stuff for it. There is a line in the sand for MMO self-respect. lol.

Poor Hanzo.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized it’s not really about looks at all, it’s almost entirely about performance. Men don’t really have that pressure. So my thoughts on this topic are that people are curious as to why someone who clearly excelled in the performance was still so drastically unhappy.

I usually don’t take issue with this and I love the professional cosplay, but without the helmet it’s just modeling. Unless they show Genji’s scars it’s not Genji.

You’re wrong. Hanzo is fantastic attacking Numbani objective A, even the pros use him there. And he owns Hanamura if you let him. At least B.

Passivity is the thing that allows this to go on. All it takes is one person to speak up sometimes and others will follow. Not saying anything is giving the ok to it.

Wow, that’s amazing! He’s beeooootiful! Thank you very much!

Needs more Hanzo.

I was thinking a portal gun too. She’s obviously inspired by Chell so just go with it. I’d love it, and I think it would be a game-affecting ability if mastered so all skill levels would be intrigued.

If you’re in movement when you hook someone the hooked person goes to where you were, not where you are. If you’re not ending up facing them directly you don’t get a clean shot off. I’ve found this is most important to remember when hooking Lucio because you need maximum oomph with him.

It does get complicated, and personal, but that doesn’t cancel out obvious whitewashing.

My first arcade brawl we were up against 6 Torbjorns. “MOLTEN CORE!” over and over and over...there’s really no way to win over that. Also it was very unsettling.

She’s Cuban.

It’s a hugely popular game and Kotaku is about gaming culture. It would be a bad business decision to ignore Overwatch and the atmosphere surrounding it. That you haven’t figured that out doesn’t speak well for you.

Racial minority played by white person. Reaper’s real name is Gabriel Reyes. (Which, if you’re gonna point out an unlikely name for Reaper, Gabriel falls in there too...) Anyway, he’s latino.

Overcrotch.

I think that happened because someone reported you. The message goes away in a day or so. It’s better to leave a qp match rather than be frustrated.

Play a match in comp, then quick play is much more relaxing. Sometimes the five plus healer thing IS fun, on both sides. I don’t sweat it now. When I only played QP, then I would be irritated.

As a female gamer she doesn’t affect me in the least so...whatever.
