The thing is that there are things to critique about blizzardâs execution and choice.
But they are just like âHEâS MASCULINEâ and are rooted in deep homophobia.

We can definitely critique that together and manâŚI just want a mlm relationship blizz. Show me jack finding some happiness for himself at some point in this storyline⌠(if we get there which is already questionable)

I feel like itâs more probable that theyâll release a new mlm couple (in 5+ years lmao), rather than doing anything with Jack.

That makes me feel a bit sad because why reveal Jack as gay if theyâre not going to do anything with him.
I always wonder if Overwatch wanted a roster as large as League of Legends so I guess that might happen.
god youâre right but also 
Honestly I want a roster as big as League of Legends but it ainât gonna happen. Weâll probably have like 5 years of lifetime left for this game until a new Overwatch spin-off is released and this one is all but forgotten⌠maybe.
But yeah, I donât see them doing absolutely anything with Jack unless they somehow give Vincent a reason to be part of the lore more.

As cynical as it sounds; corporatism. Big companies will only do things that will make them money, and this kind of representation is prefect for that. You get the cred of having a gay character and avoid actually depicting them both at the same time. So you can still sell stuff in homophobic markets.
Most likely. I just hope it gets done correctly.
Iâm tempering my excitement about that game until I learn more. Right now theyâve shown us a lot of first-person hack-n-shoot, some pretty graphics and a few clan choices. Itâs been âooh Brujah, ooh Ventrue, hey, maybe some Tremere, and you guys love Nosferatu right?â. And evidently Thin Bloods are a âclanâ now. I want to know about the mechanics â how is V5 going to be implemented in the game? Will Malkavians have interactions with others that are more than just âyouâre crazyâ? Will Nosferatu have interactions with others that are more than just âyouâre uglyâ? Will Humanity be more than just a frenzy-o-meter? Will Auspex actually be useful this time?
In terms of relationships, I wouldnât put to much into it. VTM doesnât really feature healthy people having healthy relationships of any kind, and that sort of thing doesnât really seem to foster the much-needed push to have LGBT relationships just seem normal.

I would love to see some cinematic about tracers home life with emily
like blizzard should totally commission something from dillongoo again!

Like how does Tracers illegal work with overwatch effect her relationship with her girlfriend?
Also imagine tracer cleaning house zipping around lol⌠can totally see her then accidentally recalling and turning it into a mess again ⌠then again hmm⌠the environment is not effected so i guess she would only be less tired⌠DAMN IT TRACER IS SUCH A CHEAT!!! I WANT THAT POWER!!!
(I hate cleaning my apartment)

That would be pretty cute, but given Blizzâs aversion to even regular plot development, I donât think we will get SoL content anytime soon.
well itâs not like thay need to commit to any kind of major important plot elements⌠itâs just some cannonical every day life stuff⌠and the can pĂśwn it onto dillongoo which is probably a hell of a lot cheaper⌠they just need to have their writers colaborate a bit⌠maybe peoper in some lore hinting at future things⌠oh and yeah some voice acting work tooâŚ
people would go crazy and love it like that last thing they had him do.
He does good work.
Ehhh, possibly.
I still would not hold my breath, but it is a nice idea.
Do you guys think we might get an event teaser tomorrow?
2018âs anniversary started on May 22 and we also know that updates happen on a Tuesday so we could assume the event starts on May 21. At least a week before the event happens, we get teasers posted on Twitter.

If the event starts the 22nd, youâre probably right! But Iâm wondering if it will start a week later, they did with Storm RisingâŚ
Could be, but then the event wonât actually be during the anniversary which would be odd.
But then again, since Archives started later, maybe they also want to put this later as well, otherwise thereâs no much downtime between these two events (which has always been kinda an issue in my opinion. LNY, Archives and Anniversary always seem very crammed and too close to each other).

Yeah, it always felt a bit front loaded. Like, archives should have been a late summer thing, but idk.
If there were more story around, I would actually suggest making them spontaneous, but that is not the case, clearly.

Hmmm, I see her more as bi, personally.
Hopefully weâll get skin teasers soon.
Iâd rather get lore than dumb useless skins.
