Left Hand View Model

Is overwatch ever going to release a left hand view model? I think this is something that doesn’t take much work and would help improve life quality in the game.

It would be cool. I suspect it’s because the demand isn’t high enough to offer that.

In fact, at the top of my head, I can’t think of any shooty game that does.

I know some games have done it in the past but I cannot for the life of me remember which ones

I do know some of the popular fps have left hand view model like valorant and csgo so it is kind of weird that overwatch, considering their popularity, wouldn’t have it as a setting feature considering how expansive their setting options are.

Like I said, I’m sure the demand isn’t as great. Or it’s another thing on their backlog.

Stupid question but how would that even work?

Imagine Reinhardt holding his hammer the other way. He would still swing to the left with his first swing. You have to turn around accordingly to swing around and hit more targets.

The enemy predicts you would swing to the left and if your hands were inverted… it would look super weird if you did not do that. Or it would be even way more weird and unpredictable if you swinged to the right instead as your first attack.

Same with doomfist punching. Your hitbox should be the same.
