I think that heroes breaking the fourth wall in making remarks about patches would be pretty funny. I don’t think it would be practical to implement, but it would be funny.
Well, to clarify, I was referring to specific balance patches. Pulling the VAs into the studio every two weeks or so is going to be impractical, but doing what you suggest and making the remarks general would be pretty great, and doable.
Since D.Va was canonically a gamer herself, it’s not even necessarily breaking the fourth wall, it would be like a girl, within a video game fictional universe, who is employed by the military, and views her work as if it was a video game. So meta. Layers, man. Such layers, much originality.
She already does this with “nerf this”. But I think it’s more that blizzard is trolling dva players at this point, as the sacrificial lamb that represents the community they want to troll.
“I need to have xyz look at my mecha. The last patch was trash!”
“I’m know I fight ranks harder than these guys.”
“Why does Widowmaker need a gun to one shot people anyway? Is she scared to fight?”
