Character Handedness

Yeah most rightys wouldn’t even bat an eyelash, i personally don’t pay attention to which way my characters swing their weapons.

If you play a caster, they tend to wiggle both of their hands equally.

as a lefty I support this. You righty’s don’t understand the discomfort we lefties experience when we watch you do all the things with the wrong hand. It’s uncomfortable.
I have to play classes that duel wield so it doesn’t break my immersion with having a right handed attack when I know full well my characters dominant hand is the left.

It’s honestly unfair and has a negative impact on my DPS. Not all abilities and attacks should be right hand dominant! uh… I have inclusivity on the phone asking for Bliz to let them in. It seems someone locked the door…

I’m a left handed person (true but useless fact especially to strangers but it’s just my mom and I that are left handed in my entire large family even including cousins aunts and uncles) …

Anyway I bare this burden of being left handed each day yet the right handed world just mocks us …the pain and struggle is real!

You could always just get TWO left hands since you are an undead… i’ll see my self out.

I’m left handed myself, but it’s never bothered me that much, because my character isn’t me, and I understand how much work it would be to switch things. They’d have to make a new set of animations.

It’s so much work that when they wanted to make Link right handed for the awful Wii version of Twilight Princess, they had to mirror image the ENTIRE GAME because it would be too much work to change Link.

One interesting fact: most game controllers are left handed. This dates back to arcades where it was done on purpose to make the controls more awkward for right handed people (and thus make more money). But it makes it EASIER for left handed people.

Oh yes! I would like and non-handedness option. I don’t identify as either left or right handed.

Just remember… if you’re not right-handed, you’re wrong-handed.

I’ve brought this up before. I’m right handed but I shot a bow left handed. (Left eye dominant) It would be cool to be able to change it.

Ps. Link from the Legend of Zelda games is left handed.

Since right handed people are more left-brained and left handed people are more right-brained, that means left handed people are the only ones in their right minds. :grin:

It’s not actually that hard, they just need to inverse the charecter, kinda like make “mirror” the avatar. That is what nintendo did with twilight princess from the GC and Wii ports, if they can do that for an entire game, then indie company blizz can do the same with your charecter models.

You could just walk around headbutting people. Headbutting is a wildly under rated tactic. Like, if you are known for headbutting, nobody is going to get too close. Mostly everyone likes their nose and teeth where they are if they have them.

I still to this day, cannot understand someone wanting aspects of their life pushed into a game because they feel some sort of “discrimination” because this game doesn’t have this certain attribute they have.

“i want to make a whiny complaint about being discriminated against the fact that my 10-12 ft tall giant space cow that can wield the literal power of the sun, doesn’t have the option to remove their left pinky toe.”

It really does baffle me.

You read this thread as serious?

Y’all should play enhance shaman.

Main two melee attacks are storm strike and lava lash.

One uses both hands, the other is purely an off handed attack.

The fact that the OP themselves edited multiple times, and even responded to some of the remarks and apologized for “being a little too deep” shows that this was indeed made in a serious manner.

Also, were you just lying in wait on this post? ready to pounce at the next response? you took all of 1 second to respond to my post lmao.

I am always lying in wait. Always.

They could do this pretty easily by adding an option to mirror your characters model.

Just flip the model to the other side and done. You’re left handed now
