BOB...what a dumb name

General Discussion
1

Bob is such an overused cliche name. Its the kind of name that uncreative people say when they try to name someone. Its up there with Fred or Bill. It lacks the spark you get from a good name, bob is so boring.

I don’t expect something on par with “Tracer” or “Roadhog” or “Zenyatta” everytime a new hero comes out but BOB??? come on man. its worse than picking “Wrecking Ball” over “Hammond”. Yall got an entire writing team devoted to creating lore and you name someone BOB…smh

great hero tho, love Ashe! perfect 5/7

It’s actually B.O.B, and it stands for Big Omnic Butler! :frowning:

It seems to me that the regularity of ‘Bob’ is a large part of the humor of the “Bob, do something!” line.

Or something with Butler in it.
Since B.O.B was her butler and the one that was with her through everything.

Yeah. Or butler. Or buddy. Something like that.

You watch your disrespectful mouth. This post is blasphemy, BLASPHEMY! Bob has a cult, we are growing. Respect Bob.

When someone says tracer you think overwatch. When someone says Roadhog you think overwatch. When someone says Zenyatta you think overwatch. When someone says bob you think of a generic guy your teacher once used in a math problem

You always need a Bob in everything its just one of those facts of life. Totally not biased here.

Well since Bob isn’t a hero himself that’s ok.

All I can think of is B.O.B. from the old Disney movie “The Black Hole”.

it’s B.O.B. though, not Bob.
and that’s the joke of it … not everything has to be “epic” or “glorious” Bob isn’t even the character itself, it’s her ultimate.
Soldier 76 is called Jack, Tracer is called Lena, Mercy is Angela.
Even the other characters have “generic” names.

B.O.B. stands for Big Ol’ Boi. This was confirmed by Jeff*.
