Why everyone hates Kiriko?

So many people seem to despise this character.

widowmakers must be annoyed…getting sniped by a healer from the back row.

Weird enough, most complains are not about gameplay, more about her personality.

Supposedly marketed and supposedly pandered to a very specific audience.

Personally i dont like her because she comes off as very forced. Speaks perfect english in an american accent yet when she does speak japanese, not only is it perfect aswell she also shrinks her voice? Idk its weird to me

Compared to Hanzo and genji anyway(especially genji in his english lines)

I didn’t like her and despised everything about her but after playing her for some time she is growing on me down to the cringe voice lines.

I don’t. I love her! She’s so much fun to play! I’m doing around 10k heals a match (gotten up to 15k a few times) while still managing to help with damage as well as cleanse.

And her ult is awesome! It’s helped win so many team fights!

I really don’t get the hate either? Like yeah get that you can dislike the character because of the gameplay and such but also outside? Like being mean to her and saying she’s cringe and everything like???

I get you can dislike her but hate?? That’s just too much imo, and why pay so much attention to someone you hate?? Like we get it, move on with your life.

Because if an overwatch player doesn’t hate something about everything they get locked out of GM.

It’s a video game character, she’s not going to get upset.

Yeah i know that obviously lol but maybe her va could? Not that i believe she might lol but still…Remember all the hate brigs va got when brig was released??

And even tho it’s not a real character i still get annoyed when ppl just complain all the time like?? If she upset you so :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: much, then shift your focus someplace else where you’re more happy.

Don’t get it.

Don’t understand it.

She’s supposedly cringier than Reaper being an edge Lord? Or a Widowmaker trying way too hard to be cool but coming off as just sad and lonely? Or Tracers accent coming from a fictional country because no one in England sounds like that? Or Cassidy cosplaying as a cowboy from two hundred years ago?

Lol. It’s hilarious.

I like every hero in this game but you all got some rose tinted glasses on.

That’s because they took notes from their silly ā€œdiversityā€ chart and made her a tough girl because you know, soft nice girls are looked down on in Western culture right now as tools of the Patriarchy nonsense.

I like to think they are not so bad now they can’t do the ā€œtough girl outside, soft insideā€ approach which fits the character. All ages have their intellectually lazy excesses, we are seeing this right now on the gender front in portrayals.
