I donāt know about Max. What would his powers even be? Heās been shown as a non-combatant multiple times. It would seem odd if he suddenly shows up to the battlefield.
But weāll see, I guess. Iām excited for Sojourn, but who knows when thatās coming. Echo and JQ are meh. Hopefully the next hero is something exciting.
Not Max, this guy.

Oh right. Iām actually interested in him story-wise, but another male omnic when we have three female heroes in the worksā¦
At the end of the day, him and Sojourn are fine, if anything, then for story. But we donāt have much else to look for beyond that (and if I recall right, I donāt think either of them are hero 31).
Sojourn and Echo have been confirmed not to be hero 31.
JQ has been said to be a bigger project that has a larger scope, but she could be hero 31.
This guy is most likely hero 31, otherwise the teasing seems a bit weird.

Really canāt imagine why JQ would be such a huge project. And while I donāt mind her being hot, Iām also disappointed that she looks like another supermodel instead of a gruff and grizzled leader she is. (Will never get over Ashe)
Can we get ONE male hero with a form-fitting outfit and whose butt is on display like Tracerās, Sombraās and Widowmakerās? Gosh. They always give female heroes super tight pants and male heroes baggy pants.

One day, maybe. If we yell hard enough.

Even though Baptiste is very attractive, his diesign has to be the absolute worst when it comes to new heroes. Like, you couldnāt come up with ANYTHING better? He looks horrible, I hate his outfit.
Yeah, Iām a bit underwhelmed by it too. Especially his other skins. I currently have him in Talon one and I like the default better than any epic or legendary. And the default itself isnāt too interesting.

I donāt understand why his outfit needs to add several extra pounds to him. I also donāt understand why the legs have to be so chunky. It ruins the silhouette so much.
Sojourn looks amazing imo. JQ and Echo are zzzzzz in comparison.
I still want Antonio, darn it
I think his default design is ok, but Iām a fan of color compliments, especially blue and orange. But outside of that, he doesnāt have too many unique elements. And the only unique element, the boots, doesnāt look good.
I think there are possibilities for overt male sexuality with a Meka pilot, honestly.

Itās not even the most popular ship both in general, or for each respective member.
But it just goes back to the ship wars of old, people will always say āoh it shouldnāt be canonā to keep the peace somewhat but the second any hints about anything come out then they flip around and shove it into your face.
Knowing full well straight ships are pretty much always the chosen choice, or in the rare case it isnāt, the chosen partner dies.
You said it best there though.

McHanzo and R76 are the most popular ships, or at least the most searched. After that is Pharmercy, then either Roadrat or Gency.
The current ship wars heavily rely on making one of the ships somehow abusive and problematique. R76 is racist, Gency is about power dynamics, anything with D.VA is bad because of an age gap.
You canāt just say āI donāt like itā anymore.
I donāt like any of the ships personally.

Just say all ships are abusive and go
All ships are abusiveā¦

No but really ships are āā cute āā but I donāt really grasp the fandoms surrounding ships if they are not canon. But thatās just my own issue.

Nah, I get it. Iāve only ever been into relationships that are canon or heavily canon-supported. Hence, theyāve always been straight.
Iāve never been much of a shipper really, I just accept what happens in canon and thatās it. But I later realised just how much that affected me personally. I was accepting canon relationships that are largely forced straight token romances that have to be there because our culture decided it was so and consuming that media for years and years deeply affected how much I misunderstood my own sexuality (bi).
What fandoms and shipping opened up to me is this realisation that characters that are canonically paired off are often forced and make no sense and that thereās a much better option somewhere else, usually between same sex individuals thatās being ignored because of homophobia. Looking back at some media I used to watch or like without the heteronormative glasses on, thereās so much more tension, potential and intriguing storylines if you consider that gay relationships are allowed.
Iām still not really invested in shipping as a whole, though I find the whole culture around it interesting, especially in LGBT context. I ship one Overwatch ship actively and even that started mostly because of outside influences. If not for that, Iād probably just be like with most OW ships, which is āSounds cute, moving on.ā
