Is it normal to be conflicted about the content of this thread?

If I got a “Roadhug” intro where he gives a big hug to the camera like its a giant Pachimari plush I’d never pick another hero.

Huh… I would rather be called creepy than a sicko to be perfectly honest. But if enjoying my waifu makes me a sicko, I do not want to be a healtho.

Im going to go with “People that read too much into things” category for this thread.
Yes she is playing into her name “Widowmaker”, thats the point. Its not “down bad” lol

Why are you so horny?

The reason Widow has this intro and more suggestive skins, emotes and victory poses is she is characterized as femme fatale. She is designed that way, other characters are NOT.

Pro tipp: Cold shower before you post next time xD

yeah but you could make stuff that fits other characters. Like the few I suggested in the post. Mercy lap pillow, moira operating table etc.

…

Okay, I know for a fact you are down bad. I go with yhe operation table but wth is with you guys with a lap pillow

Nothing beats Sombra’s hacked intro anyway)

With that said, soft versions of fan service are a good thing. Not the ones that directly tie into fan service, but hinting at popular scenarios.

I dunno, a cute Mei highlight intro where she accidentally gets stuck between her ice wall and something else…

My man, Mercy has a skin with glasses, medic coat AND high boots. And don’t get me started on some of the DVa skins. It’s pure fetish fuel.

Blizz knew exactly what they did there.

… Mercy is a doctor, so ofc she has a coat, the boots are literally part of her default outfit. It’s like she got rid of the upper half of it and wears a lab coat instead -.-

And yes… full-body or jumpsuits exist in real life too. I agree they did go a bit far with that on DVa but we alrdy saw that the entire MEKA team wears these outfits.

Not to say there is a difference between outfits for a char snd their character. Emotes, intros, voice lines and victory poses showed more of the character, right from yhe start, when we don’t had all these cinematics, comics and short stories
