Nah Mercy is just stacked like that
Real men use the devil/imp skin as they drastically nerf her bust size to something more manageable and suitable for combat.
Meanwhile I just go Valkyrie for even more boob-armor.

It really seems I picked an awfully good time to check back into this thread
I can remember this thread previously having nothing to talk about so it goes onto mercys bazoombas and I made the same joke about the devil skin being better because of the smaller bazingos and oh god life is a meaningless circle
Yeah. Let's just drop the lame boobs and boobplates and talk about the, in my opinion, real major issue involving that fan-made skin.
Got rid of the heels
Like wtf, why? Mercy's heels are one of the best features of her, and I have the guide to prove it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4w6fnc/comprehensive_guide_to_the_sounds_mercys_heels/
But I like Mercy's design. It's very idealized, and a strong girl like her is capable of going into a battlefield with heels, and it'd make no difference. they are heroes after all.
Really, I just prefers the current design over that nerfed design, and the jetpack idea is horrendous and go against what she stand for. I am glad this person has not worked, or do not currently work, at blizzard.
It's a silly design to have her in heels imo, there's no point other than "omg she's so hot"
I think heels look cool.
and make no sense for fighting or anything she does
The only good Mercy is a dead Mercy.
She doesn't seems to be bothered by her heels, thought :p
Tha't because she isn't real, but it still doesn't make sense and completely goes against the moral stance Overwatch espouses for itself
Who cares it's a video game
So people simultaneously want video games to be treated as legitimate art, but without any analysis. Neat
I think Mercy's design is dense, but not as dumb as Widowmaker's.
What is the moral stance Overwatch espouses for itself? Has it ever strived for realism? I do not believe so. Does it show some sort of self-awareness of how Boob armor and heels are unpractical for combat by
having the character in question ask themselves the question (Like the old version of Evelynn in League of Legends which had this quote https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/01/Evelynn.move7_old.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20121127035803) or does the fact she has heels hinders her gameplay or.. lore?
It always striked me that Overwatch went for the rule of cool, which I think is very achieved when it comes to mercy (althought she is the most one-dimensional characters in the game) (not very achieved with
baptiste, for example), and that the fact she wores heels and had boob armor is just to highlight her feminity. I think there is nothing wrong with that, and she is meant to be reminiscent of an angel. I think Blizzard did a great job when it comes to their characters.
I think the worst boob armors is Zarya's actually.
Overwatch has always pretended to be a kind of bastion of progressiveness in terms of games, but clearly doesn't give a shit
It's marketing and always has been, which is one of the reasons I've always vilified OW when it comes to its moral stance. If it didn't have pretensions toward taking a moral stance I could overlook it, but the fact it pretends to be something it's not makes it all the more hateable.
"So diverse!!!1!!" except every female character is lanky and tall, other than mei who is the skinniest person ever to be called chubby, and zarya with the aforementioned tit armour
Ah, I see what you means. In that case, I agree. They really went all out on the virtue-signaling to get brownie point from people that didn't get represented much. Well, actually, I wouldn't be so hard on them, as
Blizzard truly makes an effort on each of their characters to respect their country, culture, and mentality, without stepping too far into stereotype, and if there is, it's merely in good humors and doesn't represent the
whole characters. Judging their effort on diversity merely because of the female character being slender, and.. well, physically attractive, is really ignoring the effort they put into making the characters.. human.
Just Baptiste, for god's sake. A CARIBBEAN FRENCH. I never thought I would ever see that in a videogame, this little set of island, represented and mentioned in a video-game. WHO SPEAK CREOLE too! I don't
understand Creole, but I have read interview with the voice actors and like every other, seems passionate, and I couldn't imagine the face of his grandmother when he came to visit her so she could assist him
to speak creole and make it as authentic as possible. This is a rare move from other company, and I think credit is due on that side.
Now, I wouldn't say the female are not diverse. There's the spunky, high energy Tracer, the adorable careless but motivated D.Va, the caring and attentive Ana (which is not lanky and tall), the focused, serious
widowmaker.. You're merely looking at their appearances only, again.
I wouldn't mind a girl like Helga in Loadout. Does anyone know about Loadout? Yeah, Helga was a pretty funny girl. It's unfortunate this game had to die because of developer mishandling. I really don't think fat and
purposefully unattractive girl are loathed in the gaming community and it's merely a perception devs has because they keep making attractive characters.
it also doesnt make sense to have a long ass beard if you are an engineer
overwatch designs are silly and they arent inconsistent in their sillyness
Because Blizzard literally cannot help themselves any kind of character associated with building and technology must also be a dwarf.

Playing Rein, at the end of the game, whenever I tried chatting the game added these for me.
What.
Is this new?
Today is that day.
Her legs look naked to me now.
Here's a solution, more guns.
Oh my god.
Completely forgot, wow.
Honestly what bugs the hell out of me concerning Mercy skins is the Winged Victory skin.

An appeal to a certain fetish demographic.
