Things might be different now, im not 100% sure, but I believe Torb got nerfed in the console version and prior to that his turret was really fast and basically almost 100% accurate. So everyone was choosing him and generally accuracy of players on consoles is less than players on PC so it was mainly an issue for console players. Pretty sure they nerfed his turret though so he might not be as big an issue anymore?

oooh I see

My brother and I only play console, so we would have def noted if something like that were the case (like to a rage inducing amount) so I think they must have nerfed it.

There’s no nerfing shitty Mei players tho that think it’s funny to fuck around with ice walls. 

Do you have a type (or types!) of character that you usually find yourself invested in? What does it take narratively/characterization-wise to pique your interest? Any character(s) that turned into a surprise favorite?

well I usually go for the older characters in any game/show/whatever because they just have more backstory you can get into and that you can fuck around with. I also have just a huge daddy kink and like to stare at all the gorgeous art of them and wonder how sturdy they’d be when I lie down on them to take a nap lol

it also (usually) reduces the amount of those kind of young shippers that still Mary-Sue them up and don’t let them have flaws. but since in OW there are not really *young* characters I feel like a lot of the older ones get ‘perfected’ anyway.

So I also like the edgy™ characters in that sense tho I gotta admit I was surprised by how much I like Zenyatta and Lúcio. Like those two are just very precious and I love how uncomplicated they are.

I feel like actually I have to be interested in a character design wise before I am interested in them story-wise. So I know about nothing of Widowmaker (I think she killed her husband? or something?) because I don’t like her design/don’t find her sexy because they ram it down our throats that we should find her sexy.

However, I also gotta be a little more honest still and say that having a cock makes it p easy for me to be interested because I just like dicks. They’re fun to mess with. When I like a lady, tho, I like her very much. I’m never as knowledgeable in their stories usually because I don’t get exposed to them as much but I like ‘em v much.

surprise favs… mmmh… ye I think Zenyatta and Lúcio are as far as that one goes. I mean all of the OW characters are designed to be aesthetically pleasing so *shrugs helplessly*

I would like to get more into Torbjörn because I like him (and I don’t get the shit he gets in game tbh; like before I played OW – watched my bro play – I couldn’t get both him and Mei; but now I’m like Yeah I get the Mei thing because every Mei player has been a shit? Walling off the spawn point so you can’t advance and shit like that. With Torbjörn I never had this internal FUCK YOU PICK ANOTHER ONE so I like him p much.) I just can’t find his robo arm or the strange eye patch sexy. But since in the last comic he had both arms, maybe his robo arm actually is just a sleeve or something?

I’m so intrigued by your dirty Zenyatta/Hana headcanons!!

well actually it kind of sprung from the dirty chats™ I have with @naopao and @venomines

basically we thought of camshow AU Zenyatta/Hana (Hanyatta?) where she shows off her boy on camera and makes sure to give everybody the best tips on ‘maintenance’ for their Omnic s/o as well as tests out toys on/with him.

But also she likes to go shopping with him and dress him up like her little doll :’) he’s totes into it. way too into it probably.

Do you ship everything in Overwatch, or are there any pairings you’re not fond of? What are your favorites?

there is not a ship I don’t ship because I find the notion pretty alien. I don’t think I ever in my life looked at a fandom ship and was like ‘now that is not right now that can’t be’. 

however

I have characters I’m not fond of, or that don’t excite me one way or another so I tend to not be interested in the ships they’re in

I also don’t have favorites, really. especially my last fandom showed me that if I hone in on smth too much, and my followers start wanting only the one pairing, I get bored of it reeeaaaally fast.

as of yet, that hasn’t happened in OW so I’m pretty happy with that. McHanzo is a very popular ship but it isn’t the only request I get so I’m pretty A-OK with them.

I also like the sweet bois. A lot. there needs to be more Genyatta content

Something that’s been on my mind–what made Gabriel freak out during the last fic you wrote about them (the one with Reinhardt)? He got so upset but I can’t tell why… :(

the answer will be in the next installment… tho can also already been read in @bonebo‘s fic for it. you should go on their AO3 and look it up!

but to make everything a little easier: Gabe tumbled from one bad dom to another bad dom and one of them down the line had a habit of drugging him and then doing weird shit to him and recording it on video.

When Lúcio mentioned recording him he just freaked out

cyber im cryin over the fact that ur watchin YOI i rlly hope u like it its my Fave

I’m at episode 6 now! I like it fine for now 🙂 mostly I like the actual skating performances, they’re very neat. I have a few issues with it here and there but that’s probably because I’ve just seen it being praised to high heavens on my dash and my expectations were too high. If I had just watched it on the regular, I probably wouldn’t have those issues. Except for the body shaming in those first episodes, that’s really annoying.
