    So weird they picked this to hate on, cause it seems like a bit of an Overwatch clone, which also shares a lot in common with League of Legends.

    I know Overwatch has a few, but I played a lot of League and there are plenty of non-vanilla characters.

    These people just hate for hate’s sake.

      They latched on to it because it's total dogshit.

      It's a Sony title that didn't crack 700 concurrent players on its first day.

      Now there's two possible reasons for this, one is that it's a shitty looking generic paid pvp hero game. There's literally half a dozen better free options with already existing communities and player bases.

      The other possibility is that it's because there's characters in it that aren't straight white males.

      It would be like saying that the reason Steven Segal movies aren't popular is because it stars a straight white guy and not because it's a dogshit product by a dogshit person that looks worse than half a dozen free readily available options.

        Holy molly. You gotta wonder how many of these failed "games-as-a-service" attempts are black spots on these companies balance sheet that they cover with profits from actually good single player games, and yet they keep trying

          I mean they also had Helldivers 2 this year so clearly the games as a service model can produce hits big enough to cover for the misses

      It's because it's shit and an easy target as a result.

      Anything that's bad is because of le woke. They ignore it in anything good.
