>>3449518Nah it's cool man, no apology needed. Hell, I'm bitter more days than I'm not and you put up with that all the time. While I'd kill for a more serious looking skin myself, I can SORTA see what Blizz's logic is.
D.Va is...
D.Va, she's carefree, she's upbeat, she's cute, she sees the war as just another game to beat. But
D.Va isn't -allowed- to be sad or serious, she isn't -allowed- to be scared or saddened at the injury of a colleague, she isn't -allowed- to be injured. She's like Tracer in that sense. Hana and Lena are not the same as
D.Va and Tracer if that makes sense? It's an act, or a mask, to make the public feel like they're winning against the Colossal Omnic/Global Terrorists.(Note I'm not saying that in-game skins are the heights of canon, just that the characters as they appear in non-Archives gameplay are essentially them when 'the cameras are rolling', so that's why I feel we get stuck with
D.Va being a living meme, because in-universe she essentially is one that Hana created for the people.) I agree with you in wanting something less...weeb, but I'm MOSTLY indifferent because of the crap I just spewed.
I THINK I got in to the lore mostly because the gameplay, characters and visuals hooked me in enough to -care- about them, much like WC3 and WoW did, it's got that same charm(?) to it, imo at least.
Now you're just being too kind, I really am as salty as I seem to be, BUT, I have reason to be happy! Jeff isn't planning to kill Overwatch with role lock anytime soon(In theory), so that's some good OW news.
