I am not sure exactly what Orisa says in her ultimate (sounds like “Buy Amore”)… but I hate it. It sounds like Italian but she is from Numbani in Africa right? Please consider consulting a linguist to help you create a language from her that actually sounds like it is from Africa. Yeah I know that the French, English, etc. were there… but with only two characters representing the continent, I would hope you could do justice to region when creating something more believable for what I assume is the Numbani language.

she says “Pade ayanmọ rẹ” in Yoruba.
which in English means “Meet your fate!”

She’s speaking in an African language. Yoruba, I believe. I don’t blame you for not knowing; Africa isn’t represented the way it should be.
Instead, people want to make Batman black and call it a day, so I’m glad to see Orisa representing the country in a way that’s helpful.
Ok, this is a bit arrogant here, but still, I don’t blame you for not knowing about African language.

It is and African Language; Yoruba in fact, which is native to Nigeria. Makes sense when Numbani is supposed to be in Nigeria. Fun fact, Doomfist’s real name, Akande Ogundimu, is also in Yoruba. I can appreciate your sentiment, with wanting to accurately represent the language of this region, but they’re already doing that and the voiceline you’re hating on IS them making that effort. Next time maybe just do a bit of research into it before getting offended?

She’s still protective.
She just found confidence after driving doomfist out of Numbani.

I simply wish there was option to keep everything in english, its already not my main language, but im used to it in games, and i like to understand voice lines.
Her new personality is great for character development. I just hope she still has a bit of her calmness and child like wonder; otherwise it’d seem like a part of her died.

if she keeps some i won’t mind it too much, but if her character development means “she becomes boring” then that ain’t it chief.
And so far the only childlike line was the onfire line, which are still in the game, but since on fire as a mechanic is toast that is most likely removed
I don’t know why they aren’t just using her old ult line, it’s so good and fits perfectly.
Thanks for the reminder Orisa, I’ll be sure to do that.
she sounds Italian and looks like she is spinning pizza dough.
