RE: Tracer's Pose

I dunno why I found this hilarious.

Spoiler: Here's just the comparison

I'm personally a big fan of this change (still not a fan of how it was handled on the forum is all)

Also here's something someone else pointed out on Destructoid.

 

love it. love everything about it.

 

Yeah, I like it better. But they really should've handled the issue on the forum better.

 

?

 

Tracer killed someone

 

No she didn't.

 

you typed should of
what you said was should've

 

Oh, shoot, my mistake. See that is a lot clearer. Thanks. It is fixed. :3

 

I assumed killing was a part of overwatch

 

I'm confused now. I thought you implied she murdered someone.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

It's lit.

 

my issue was never the pose so much as the pants. it's part of an unfortunate trend where "pants" or leggings on female characters ride up the buttcrack and basically look like she dipped her legs in paint. so really this doesn't fix much of anything. i don't love that it's inspired by pin-up girls either. if the idea was to desexualize the character then i'm not sure why they drew inspiration from sexy pics fighter pilots would keep

that said i do think it's more playful, dynamic, and original. the whole situation is just ****** and this is just an ok solution

 

This was a big part of why I was so weirded about by the decision: the pose isn't the sexual factor as much as her outfit is.

Part of why it's inspired by pin-ups has been explained by Tracer's history as a test pilot for Overwatch's flight program (and pin-ups are synonymous with the Air Force.)

But other opinions aside, I think this pose is far more fun than the original.

 

that's pretty cute , what game?

 

Part of me thinks that they're just taking the piss out of the situation.

Underclock.
