If anything regardless of any complaint I have, Ramattra is the best marketed character I have seen this franchise come out with. This is why again I do not understand why there are so many female based characters in the game. The game is played overwhelmingly by males. So why so many characters that dont really appeal to guys?
Ramattra’s presence was powerful to me and I am saying the whole time watching his trailer, the way he talked , the presence all of that was 100% leader. It makes you want to play in a game with the character and you say to yourself (or at least I did)…This is a leader, a tank and somebody with a backbone.
I tire of the ‘goody feels’ this game tries to do with the Winston stuff and 'oh I am glad to see you, glad you came and everybody smiles at the end" Yeah, I know the game is about good vs evil yet if that was the line that should be drawn, then why is everyone able to play on any team regardless of what the alignment is?
I mean really? Reaper playing a game with Winston on the same team after what went down in that trailer with him and Winston? Yeah, i know , its just a story, just a game but wouldn’t it be interesting if you could NOT do this and bad or evil characters had to be on a team and the goody , mushy, oatmeal eaters were on the other team?
Then i guess nobody would play the good characters because everyone wants to be bad and known as an **** kicker.
Ramattra though had a great reveal and that is the kind of thing that makes you anticipate a character. Yeah, another character that draws the line and doesn’t waiver. You know what he is about, you know where he stands and he doesn’t come to play games. That to me is just drew me in and while it will probably take a year for me to unlock him at my current rate of play i can still look forward to playing.
I just think it was a great job with how this character is presented because I think Ramattra is the boost the game needs. We need characters with a more serious edge. The hell with the cute, huggy stuff. I mean why is that there in the first place if people are trying to obliterate each other in first place?
Overall give more of the guys what they want. Darker, more serious and dangerous characters that have the look to back it up. I mean look at winston? Uh…i mean even ashe…I just don’t get into these characters. I play characters that kind of match the way i would like to play which is why I don’t admit I mainly play Reaper 95% of the time. Hey, I enjoy the dark edge of the character and i really enjoy how Ramattra means business.
Good job blizzard. More darkness to the overwatch game.
