Playing Valorant has made me appreciate OW's character and sound design

All the valorant ult lines lack personality (much like the game itself but that’s for another thread). Not quite walmart bad, but like mid tier target offerings bad. Even when accounting for the audio processing that makes the voice line stand out more, the lines themselves are entirely forgettable, unlike Dva’s bang and Mercy’s Gemeinsam kämpfen wir which haven’t been in the game for a looooong time and weren’t even in for that long, yet you still have people who want them back in some form.

While I’m at it, the game itself is to CSGO as quake champions was to quake 3. I really don’t see the connection to OW.

Well the devs don’t even have a backstory for any of them. So they are essentially soulless husks. Its hard to put personalty into a character when you have no idea what drives them, who they are, or what world they even live in.
