Junker Queen is a bad name

Looks at Bruce from the “Wasted Land” comic.

Wish he was a hero, would be a great Junker Support.

Ok, so YOU don’t like it. Doesn’t make it a stupid name.

Consider: she is, in point of fact, the Queen of JunkerTown. She, quite literally, IS the Junker Queen.

I’m not sure I see the problem here.

Now, Odessa ‘Dez’ Stone is indeed a pretty badass name. Hopefully it gets used more. But, how many casual fans do you think even know Reaper or Widowmaker’s real names? Symmetra’s?

It’s the exact same idea, only a code name instead of a title. And, quite frankly, JQ sounds more badass to me. I hear Reaper I go straight to ‘sad edgelord.’ I hear JQ I go straight to ‘rules the crazy Junkers.’ And, having met Junkrat and Hog, that’s saying something.

Right, just like we call the Queen of England “British Queen” as her name. Right?

Yeah, I know it’s not her real name. It still sucks as a hero name. No idea why people think I don’t understand the concept of how OW hero names work, good grief.

Oh please, have the cast has edgy one dimensional names :joy:

More typically, simply ‘The Queen.’ True in both British and even American news and media.

‘The Queen’s motorcade.’ ‘The Queen’s Jubilee.’

You’re really not helping yourself with this argument as much as you seem to think.

And yet Blizzard calls her “Queen”. Not “The Queen.”

Yeah, I agree, arguing with people desperate to never respond to my actual point is a pretty useless way to spend my time.

Ahh. A troll. My mistake.

You don’t want to respond to my actual points, so what else should I say to you?

“Golly, I’ve seen the light, I didn’t realize she was actually a queen in the game! My bad! How can I delete this post, I feel like such a fool!!!”

Like, you guys are in a different galaxy from the original post and the points I was making. Impossible to have any kind of conversation like this. And now you call me a troll because you can’t emotionally handle disagreement over light entertainment. Pathetic stuff.

well not as bad as “PLAYER’s” gamertags. i dont think mine is that bad tho…

I aggree. She should be called Yassqueen Slay!

I get your point, OP.

It would be like if they released Orisa as Numbani Defender. Instead, we know her by name.

Junker Queen is what she is, but it isn’t who she is. Hero names are usually personal names, nicknames or handles - not descriptions.

Roadhog, Junkrat, Wrecking Ball, Doomfist, Solider 76 and Widowmaker are all in a similar vain to Junker Queen.

Given that isn’t his name either, and was just the 76th soldier in the program, I think that is a really bad example for you to try to use as a counter example :slight_smile:

Might wanna check that talk there chief…

One of the most instantly popular character releases, but “bad”… m’kay.

You guys just like to sit around and nitpick these days, same oh 16 people on here.

It’s also his chosen name as a vigilante, so it isn’t a terrible example.

Junker Queen was her chosen name, so, I think it is :slight_smile:

She seems to refer to herself as “Queen” more than “Junker Queen”. IMHO that would be a better ingame hero name.

Now how can you say that when some random dude named ana is right there?

That has to be the single most boring name on earth.

Given it is the “Queen” part which OP doesn’t like …

:slight_smile:

I’m allowed to disagree with OP in that regard. I agree that “Junker Queen” feels somewhat clumsy though.
