This is a video game board, lets talk about character design.

Moira was just announced by Blizz, what do you think?

>Shes a trash pile transgenger redhead who runs like Naruto REEEEE

>Shes perfect everyone is just overreacting

Best argument gets a steam game for 10$ or less

She's overall alright for the Comic Book-esque aesthetic their going for, considering she's a villain. Her design is obviously based a bit on a more 'Sorceress' kind of design, which they tried to balance in with the modern tech of the setting. I like that she shows a full blown bad side the Biotics, as well as a bit of a corrupting nature to it.
Overall I'd say 7/10.

Here's my argument I will await your rebuttal:

OP is a faggot.

Bitch looks like something out of Battleborn

I like her elongated features, like the jaw and the fingers, standard disney villain-design. Outfit is a bit boring though but nothing other skins can't fix.

>hamfisted female weeaboo dyke

I don't get it, is Blizzard trying to make us hate gay people...?

She'd be better with a different hairstyle. Most likely a longer one, but not necessarily.

Looks fine other than the stupid metal parts on her face.

The suit is fine its just boring to see a normal ass soccer mom in it. I think it would have been better with more robotic augmentation on the face(the detail on her left side is cool but easily passable and seems kinda tacked on) or give her pale white vampire skin. Also I don't want your stupid steam game you dumb stinky butt sniffer

I don't care what they look like it's nice to have another support

pissmancer
pissing on corpses will be the new tbagging
can piss so hard it penetrates shields

She look boring
i don't understand why people like overwatch designs so much
blizzard need make a character like pic related

She looks like a technomancer invoker.
Personally I feel like her design has way to much noise compared to the other characters

her model's ugly
her art's actually really nice and relatively attractive
blizz said she's just a crossdresser
she's got a piss fetish

She's not a terrible design but it's pretty generic compared to the rest of the cast and it's exceptionally busy and complicated compared to characters that are simple and eye catching e.g Hanzo and Soldier 76

Her suit is fine, her face feels inconsistent with the faces of all the other heroes, it feels like she's from a different game. Also her animations are hilariously stupid looking and her kit is gimmicky as shit, she'll either be broken or useless on release, and then Blizz will 180 that immediately

I get it. Bliz wanted a Bowie looking character in their game, but the design is legitimately bad. From what I've seen of her, her silhouette doesn't look too unique and I could easily see myself getting her confused with a mercy, zen or sombra

>peoplekeep referring to her as a bowie character. Bowie was male.
You know this is retarded to normal people right?

Outfit alone she looks obscenely similar to Sombra

one of her legendary skins is "totally not ziggy stardust"

That thing is a fucking eyesore

exactly

No point made. Point still stands. It's regarded for Blizzard to do this and it's retarded for tumblr to push it.
It's like Blizzarss overwatch team is hellbent on losing normal audiences.

I like the tall features and the evil look. It's kind of a neat profile outline for the character.

Her story is a mess. Biotics=good but she uses them to kill. It's like running around choking people by shovig antiobiotics down their throat.

Ana was already getting shit from Mercy for using biotics offensively, but now we have Battleborn McPisswizard who is on par with a Captain Planet villain in terms of motivations

wow thats fucking awful to look at, is this thing trans?

...

Basically what they are pushing. Actually something that many people haven't seemed to notice is they did the same thing with Sombra two of her legendaries have subtle half male half female designs.

That concept art of her makes me want to play some Battle Arena Toshinden

>crack bowie
Worst Bowie. Blizzard confirmed for pleb taste and shit taste.

>robot hair

So overwatch is copying paladins now?

>dark zenyatta with a menacing business suit

Fuck, that would be nice, but we obviously can't have more than one similar design.

I personally think it's bad design because she reminds me of Sombra and I don't even play OW.

What they needed was another animal like that gorilla guy or something simpler.

>subtle half male half female designs.
>tomboys are now trans
the absolute state of this board

Her clothes stupid looking. It has multiple styles, and looks good in none of them. Her robe/body amor makes no sense for her profession, looks like an ugly Mercy suit, the sci-fi machine makes her look like she broke her back, and her hand orb ripped straight from Jenos doesn't even fit the game.
Also, in a game where everyone, is /supposed/ to be sexualized and pornstar-looking(which, personally, I despise, but for consistency's sake...), Moira is ugly. She sticks our like a sore thumb against characters like Mercy, McCree, Hanzo, D.Va, Zarya, Reinhardt, etc, etc. The only characters not sexualized are the robots(and torbjorn), and hell, I have a couple pics of Orisa r34 on my drive. Mercy is the milf, Tracer is the andro tomboy, so it's not like she has a certain fetish on her, like Zarya or Roadhog. Battleborn style is spot on.
Also, it makes me angry that her looks(without the stupid clothes) would have been a perfect way for Blizz to have an effeminate man in the cast, in a game where practically every body type except that is featured, because she already looks like an younger asian David Bowie. I don't mean to sound like an SJW or faggot, but it would have scored points with me...
Also the new short is awful

>anons a retard
>has to let everyone know
Thanks for your useless input.

>because she already looks like an younger asian
>asian
invalidated your entire post retard.

It's a design that is incoherent. I keep seeing people compare her to Maleficent and I don't know if that's a meme or not. Moira is the epitome of Blizzards insistence on unnecessary ornate detail over a silhouette that tells you nothing about the character. The only indicators that she's a bad guy are her (vaguely) sharp features and the dark color scheme. They've taken the worst aspects of Mercy and Sombra and mashed them up into one: Mercy's design was already ornate fluff to make up for the blank slate that her design would've been without a million lines running through the solid colors in a poor attempt to break them up, while Sombra's tells you nothing about who she is or what he does beyond how high up the collar on her overcoat goes.

It's incredible how much worse these characters look, one after another. If they had played more off of the Ziggy Stardust inspiration for the alternate skin they may have been onto something. Eccentric, creepy scientist that's been playing for the other time and is more than happy to peddle their wares to the side that accepts their twisted use of technology.

on the topic of Sombra, here's an earlier design that conveys the stealth aspect of the character better, but also is more immediately visually striking than what they settled on. Blizzard has talent by the dozen, but nothing good comes out of it because every character tries to appeal to everybody, instead of pushing them far enough in a direction that exaggerates, and accentuates their standout features. The only character that executes that, and does so with flying colors is Roadhog. Roadhog is easily the best design in the game because they didn't chicken out with his proportions and made it clear that he's a Mad Max style thug that fucks people up using whatever scraps him and the rat pick up in the wasteland that is Nustralia.

FUCK

Hey, I see a thin face and slanted eyes, I think asian. Then again, I don't look at a lot of asian people. Or a lot of people for that matter.

Mostly drawings.

I'm glad you agree that "half male half female design" is absolutely retarded

She's over designed, which clashes with overwatch's aesthetic where most of the characters have simple designs yet are recognizable based on their role.

I don't agree you are an idiot that can't fucking read.

>looks like a tranny
>does the weeaboo run like the 300 pound kid in gym class

they didn't even have to put much effort into making this villain truly hate-worthy.

Asians don't look like that they have fucking round faces and those are feminine eyes you mong.

feel free to elucidate me on blizzard's hidden agenda of "half male half female designs"

Read the post again.

She is disappointingly unappealing in every way. Barely mediocre and sort of a let down considering how many months you have to wait for another hero and how much time they wasted in even making her.

This post is all that needs to be said.
Its a joke that they are trying to push esports so hard with this game when they can't even handle character design consistently.

again, feel free to elucidate me anytime

someone didn't take their ritalin

New hero with jenos ult and series copy? Wrong
Copy is Fernando of Reinhardt because both has shield

Every interesting character made for a bad game like this or some moba makes me sad. We could have had a good game using that character instead.

What's your endgame, Terminusposter?

Makes me want to play TF2

It's no coincidence that the playerbase started vanishing when they went from adding hot grandma, to adding cute senorita, to a who cares robot, then actually losing players when Doomfist was announced. This tranny looks like a Battleborn reject and she will repel even more players.

Overwatch's success could not have been achieved without the extreme feminine appeal of the female cast. Somebody for everybody.
>Genki Tracer, the fun gf who loves everybody, especially you
>Mei, thicc asian head-in-the-clouds marriage material
>Mercy, an angel, demon, witch, valkyrie, medic, basically a milf into roleplay who literally attaches to you
>Pharah as the exotic yet naive strong girl who protects others
>D.va as the gamer's wet dream
>Widow is pure sex
>Zarya if you're into femdom muscledykes
>Symmetra for autistic accessibility tempered with a dominant yet suggestive personality

Moira is the first Overwatch female with no sex appeal. After two prior releases with no sex appeal, Blizzard should have offered something more satisfying. They are in denial if they think the shallow gameplay doesn't need aesthetic support to keep the playerbase active.

wh-what's happening in that image

Blizzard can't design people worth shit. Her and Sombra have the worst designs in Overwatch. I get Blizzard is going for diet sci-fi fantasy, but they're bad. Sombra would be better if she wasn't soaked in neon and didn't screech every 5 seconds, but Moira is bad.

>Why does Moira O'DavidBowie look like a man? I get she's not supposed to be pretty, but she literally looks like a man.
>Why does she Naruto run?
>Why does she have tubes of dangerous chemicals around her squishy bits? I'm sure they're not glass, but getting shot means that not only is she getting shot, dangerous chemicals are leaking into her skin.
>If she shoots dangerous chemicals, let alone normal chemicals, why does she have oversized sleeves?
>Why does she Naruto run?

That's not even considering her kit. Blizzard is playing the "oh. problem with our game? just make a new hero" game. They'd rather add a new hero rather than fix balance issues. She adds NOTHING to the game. ANOTHER DPS/Healer with involving harming and healing orbs? Wow, haven't seen that before.

Shit, at least Valve TRIES to fix things when they actually work on their game.

I think her design is the product of Blizzard running low on distinctive silhouettes

fucking god awful design

but i have a glaring weakness for micks so 8/10

the silhouette thing is a myth. it's pandering to borderline retarded people the average human doesn't have that much of an issue differentiating different things.

>everyone is sexualized but robots and torb
>torb isn't sexualized
but torb is the one we know has the most kids, meaning most confirmed fucks. if anything, torbs is the most sexualized.

Looks like the crystal treatment is going well.

honestly the only problem with the new short was it was far too rushed

They should have shown reindhardt fuck up more, someone should have straight up died horribly due to his overwhelming hubris rather than slowly with a blade to the side, which would have cemented the idea that he HAS to go back to Overwatch: he's afraid of what will happen to others if he ceases to care again. That and they should have given more backbone to him not wanting to join Overwatch initially. All he said was "BUT DA CRUSADERS" when it should have been "What can they do that we can't? What's the point?"

Overall lazy blizzard writing showing its ugly head again.

My biggest gripe with this bitch is that there is nothing fucking Irish about her. Take a character like Reinhardt who is probably Hitlers illegitimate child or genji who practically shits anime and sushi. The feel like their actually from those countries. What the fuck does this bitch have? Is it because she's ginger that they made her some soulless freak? And if she has complete control of her DNA why does she look like a tranny. Even if she IS an actually mtf tranny, if she has complete control of her DNA then she should still look like a 10/10 waifu bait like the others.

BUT BUT SHE DOESN'T WANNA LOOK APPEALING
MUH BODY POSITIVE

Honestly it just feels that after baiting general population in with latex asses they're going for pseudoleft audience except those don't play video games so Blizzard is just delusional. They'd obviously be too scared to come out with an actual MtF character.

what does "overdesigned" mean?

It would actually be funny if she was mtf but was the most sexual 13/10 big tittie waifu in the game rather than the crimson chins drunken lesbian sister we have.

her defining irish feature is her famine-esque frame

Her actual concept piece is better than what they have because it sticks to a theme. She is anti mercy (i think). What is she in game, oh, a wizard or someshit but we haven't really developed that idea other than oh she makes concoctions. Like design wise why does she have two coloured eyes, why does she have an eye-plate etc. Right now she is boring as a concept and over-designed.

>you will never get a handy from those tentacles

I think they should have added a beautiful and fertile protestant woman of tact and civility instead

>She is anti mercy (i think
That sketch has a pretty obvious parallels to Mercy's design - same general suit, but themed around devil rather than angel. How the fuck did they refuse that one in favor of TUUUBES, rivalry with Mercy would've been great.

In the market for a circumcision?

Why didnt they just make a david bowie

The tubes and chasing around like a healer thing is so fucking lame. Why not make her poisons interact with the maps or do something other than heal/buff. Get a theme and treat her that way. Ie this example she looks like a snake, maybe make her behave differently to other players, create different dots or whatever. Like movement slows, combo-buffs which change attacks for other heroes depending on the allies around her. Anything is better than piss beam.

>but i have a glaring weakness for micks so 8/10
literally why, potato people are so unattractive
