Also, part of it is just Overwatch's style. Almost everyone has either giant stompin' boots (like Reaper) or else really skinny ankles. Just like how basically everyone has an unnervingly detailed and well-defined ass, even if it won't be visible unless they die in a really undignified pose. :::PPP
I'll forgive a lot of things based on 'style' provided they're consistent. Skinny ankles seems to be a consistent Blizz thing, so I'm willing to accept the devs saying "Yeah, no, Hanzo and Pharah don't canonically have prosthesis they're just boots." There's a bunch of dudes who have yaoi hands too, and if you actually looks at how Reinhardt's armor connects it uh... doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. (I mean. At least it isn't the uh, unfortunate Painted On Skin armor of WoW, so I'll admit my standards are a little low.) But at least the rule of cool is consistent, and again, it's not like the ladies are sporting Triple H cups or something. I have no idea why this person is so mad about people talking about Hanzo's ankles, and it's so fucking bizarre to have them go off on this tangent with D.Va too. edit; IF YOU'RE GOING TO CALL SOMETHING 'BALLOON TITS' I EXPECT THEM TO BE A LITTLE BIGGER THAN A DEFLATED BALLOON QUITE FRANKLY
For real though. If they're calling that "balloon tits," I guess seeing my actual real-life boobs would make their head explode, which would if nothing else be a more interesting consequence of being a 38H than recurring backaches and having a really hard time shopping for clothes.
Actually, while I'm at it: FUCKING CHRIST BLIZZ I GET THAT THE MASSIVE PAULDRONS THING IS YOUR THING BUT IT MAKES MY LIFE LIVING HELL WHEN I NEED TO DRAW YOUR CHARACTERS IN ARMOR, SO STOP
Oh god, they clip bad enough at Frankly Ludicrous sizes, I can't imagine how badly the models would clip at Good Fucking God Stop sizes.
The pauldrons I had on my female troll hunter in WoW had spikes on them that every time she raised her arms up the spikes clipped straight through her head.
I'm not particularly into overwatch, but the ankles confuse me. also why hanzo's tiddy out. aren't you supposed to wear arm guards for archery? also tracer's hair. that's a pixie cut, RIGHT? I couldn't tell for the longest time! I thought she had a bun in the back or something!
I just don't even register Blizzard's weird anatomy choices now. Or the clothing choices. Too many years of playing their games. I am desensitized now. Also man, does anyone want to talk about the night elf women's yaoi hands in WoW. I mean the men had them too, but wow those hands on the women. Them hands.
you know what sort of design annoys me? undead ladies who've got perfectly normal boobs even though the rest of them is rotted. also my coffee today was made wrong and I am an annoyance
My favorite bit of their design is the eyebrows though. The fuck are with elf eyebrows in Warcraft. I mean I like them. But. Why? They look like owls.
because clearly SOMEONE wanted to make owl ladies and then they were told "no. only elf ladies now." but they sneakily rebelled.
Actually I think it's supposed to be traditional stuff, though I don't know if anything is on the proper side or not.
My sibling has made cracks about how there are two Overwatch characters who were clearly designed around fanservice: Widowmaker and Hanzo. :::PPP
The only sad thing about the new character also being a sniper is I can no longer make jokes about snipers with their tits out (Hanzo, Widwomaker) and assassins with their asses finely sculpted (Tracer, Genji.) Ana's sensible clothing just ruins the whole joke. :'(
