MR isn't afraid of horny.

I know it's traditional for Rogue to have a Southern Belle accent but for some reason I think it would be better if she had an Appalachian Accent. Even though that doesn't make sense as she's from Mississippi and not West Virginia/rural Maryland/Eastern Kentucky.

not be Concord
No one wanted Concord designs. Literally. You could try handing Concord designs to a room full of 1,000 gamer women and they'll crinkle their noses in disgust.

I kinda hate how scared a lot of western devs are to be horny these days. Just do what Vanillaware does and make the guys real goonie, too!
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.

Unless I'm thinking about some other kind of Appalachian accent, lots of people here in Mississippi sound just like them or extremely similar.

That's all you needed to say.
The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

People joked about how Venom was caked up in Rivals, so they gave him a twerk emote.

Ah. Yeah, there's plenty of people that talk just like that here in MS, including myself a bit. It wouldn't be out of place if she talked like that.

Nothing wrong with sexy characters

I just hate when it becomes fanservice that gets in the way of plot and gameplay
^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

Genuinely asking not questioning the statement. Does it actually happen outside of Anime/Japanese content? You see this all the time in Anime and I do absolutely hate it. Can't really recall ever seeing it in anything else though.

Rumors are she'll be a strategist, which doesn't necessarily mean healer, but effective does mean healer if she wants to get much play, as team comps without two strong healers is significantly handicapped.

I have no idea how you turn Rogue's powerset into a heal-focused one.

She can use the powers she absorbs, so I'd assume either the in-universe lore will be that she drained a healer into a coma the way she did Capt Marvel, or she'll have some sort of energy management gimmick where you need to touch opponents to build up energy to use a healing power.

I mean people move all over the United States anyway. There's people in Michigan I hear with Alabama accents, although I think people from Tennessee are more common. A lot of those people are much older though, always a gray haired lady talking about a "buggy" at the grocery store.

The most interesting theory I heard is that all of her keybinds are Touch and when used on someone, it takes that characters corresponding keybind. So in that case Rouge could just take your team's other healer's primary fire and function as a healer.

I thought about that as a possibility, but from a game design perspective it feels like it would be a terrible idea to create a character whose Powers aren't activated unless you physically touch one of your opponents' backline characters. It would make you functionally useless for a huge chunk of your play time, especially if that resets on death.

Tbh I love it when they turn fan favorites into healers, just to spite all the players that will shit on healers yet won't play healer themselves lol

NetEase defied the odds and made a flying tank work. I bet they can manage a melee strategist without too much issue.

The assumption is that you could use it on your teammates.

Mind you, I very much doubt they go this way because it would be a nightmare to balance. Either it would be dummy busted or useless, I see little middle ground.

They really need to get the fan favorites as Vanguards (tanks). No one wants to play that role at all. I have no problem at all getting Strategists in my games. Even to the point that I cannot even play the role despite my desire to do so. I just always have to play tank to fill the role no one wants to play.

I think people would be more willing to play tank if more teammates actually stood behind the tank to help push rather than everybody going off in random directions because they think they're the one that's going to flank the enemy and kill everyone.

It's the nature of the game. Tanks have a lot of pressure, especially when most people absolutely require a shield tank to stand in front of them and act like a wall. The playerbase is still going through the same growing pains that OW's was where they blame the tank for their deaths instead of their own poor game sense and use of cover.

We can shoot for more. No reason to appeal to the lowest common denominator for money. I mean I am for sure not gonna be chatting it up with the type of folks that would get into the game over comic book tits. Its just SO cringe.

You must have never played the game then. It's already filled with bikinis, booty cheecks, and jiggling.

Jerry just seems like one of those sex negative folks that recoils at the idea of attractiveness in a game and has convinced themselves that anybody that would be mildly interested in that is some kind of deviant. That's why his response to sex sells is basically "we should do better". Better in this case meaning stripping away all of that stuff.

If he wants less sex then he shouldn't be playing a game where the designs and characters are pulled straight from comic books.

Concord failed so hard that I had to look it up to remember what you guys are talking about

lol
And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?

Before Marvel Rivals came out the only time I ever heard of Emma Frost was when Betty Draper played her in that one movie.

Now I see tons of thirst trap cosplay and hentai stuff on twitter and reddit of her.

God bless rivals

They kind of had to re-invent Emma Frost to make her work as a tank. Which gave some nice upgrades to the character but her style and fashion is awful compared to her comic appearance.

Thank you for wording it in a way that would actually be said by a reasonable person offline.

There is a perfectly fine balance of having attractive characters while not heading to pure gooner territory, but you shouldn't course correct too far in the opposite direction as well.

Plus you gotta balance the fanservice. If the men are dull and uninteresting and the women are all gooner bait...

Well you could make a gacha. But no one who's had success with the opposite sex is talking about your game in public.

Edit: Another note regarding balance: If everyone is gooner territory, both men and women, fine. Be free. My criticism is when it's only the women.

I think what started happening around like 2015ish with the closing of the "Social Justice Wars" is that a lot of developers and studios across every medium wanted to remove elements from their products that some saw as offensive, but then they never replaced those offensive elements with anything, so everything has been so sauceless for the last decade that a return to blatant horniness is refreshing.

Okay, I guess I'll ask: When was she reduced to begin with?
