When they reveal the true reason for their ages, you will all be ashamed of your words and deeds.
come the fuck on, can't you just play the fucking game and have fun?
Not real life but
Grizzled military like the Boss from MGS3
An older version of Nadine from Uncharted 4
Maybe an older witch type character (though probably be called out for sexist "of course she's a witch")
Older Ripley character from Alien
There's a bunch of stuff they could do.
I honestly thought Mei was around 20 because of her voice and personality.
Interestingly enough, Sayuri is in Senran Kagura, is playable, and is a badass:
So if god damned Senran Kagura can do it, I don't see why Overwatch can't. Sounds like a good idea.
I don't want to play as old men either. I'm guessing we'll probably get Samba to balance it out though. If she's supposed to be Pharah's mother that would be super creepy if they're close to the same age.But there are old men in the game and not older women because those don't make good waifus.
It makes sense to me, nobody wants to play as an old person.
You'll notice that the only characters that could be considered ugly or unattractive are men as well.
Ie Roadhog and (maybe) Torbyorn.
Hell most of the female characters look like models.
Absolutely unrealistically idealistic old men, they're buff as fuck. And Torb is basically a dwarf, that pretty much comes with that archetype.But there are old men in the game and not older women because those don't make good waifus.
Yes you should, it's not your game. You don't get to tell the artists what they should make. If you don't like it don't buy it.Yeah, because complaining about lack of varied body representation got us nowhere and was a waste of time... We should just be happy with whatever!
I believe Blizzard was made aware of this problem partially through development, after which they made Zarya. They're trying to fix it I think.You'll notice that the only characters that could be considered ugly or unattractive are men as well.

Those characters are just ugly, not old.Why do some people say "nobody wants to play an ugly and old character"? This is so ridiculous and so not true.
If the character has a good personality, design and is fun to play, of course people are gonna play them.
Jeez, if nobody liked old/ugly characters, nobody would play as Junkrat, Roadhog or Torbjörn.
This is true, and even more when they clearly have female characters pushing 40s, they have ugly males in this game while all the women are beautiful, it's like that sitcom rule that men can be fat and flawed but the wives of said men must be young and hot, disgraceful.Overwatch having a fairly diverse group of characters doesn't make it immune to criticism, and if anything, highlights how far we still have to go. I mean, we're talking about one of the shining examples of diversity in gaming not featuring a woman who looks a day over 30. We'll see what the rumored new character brings, but it is something noteworthy.
I love Overwatch but this is a great point. I think Overwatch has some other more general diversity issues in its cast (it's very American and Euro centric, African/Latino heroes don't have lines in their native languages unlike the European heroes, etc.), but that's for another thread.
Reinhardt is an old geezer, Roadhog has an incredibly unattractive body type, Torbjorn is hella short, Junkrat looks like an anorexic crazy person, yet every female in the game (bar Zarya) is an incredibly fit, slim, attractive beauty.
Yeah nobody wanted to play as Joel in Last of Us.
I don't want to play as old men either. I'm guessing we'll probably get Samba to balance it out though. If she's supposed to be Pharah's mother that would be super creepy if they're close to the same age.

Oh wow, if Mei hadn't gone through her whole backstory she'd be as old as Reinhardt.
Old lady Mei skin when?
Yeah.
I'm struggling to think of any post 50 female hero in the MCU.
Does that actively keep you from picking Reinhart and Torbjorn?I don't want to play as old men either. I'm guessing we'll probably get Samba to balance it out though. If she's supposed to be Pharah's mother that would be super creepy if they're close to the same age.
May I ask where the Muslims are?
We're underrepresented in gaming, almost none in positive terms, where is it in Overwatch?

Is the religion of any of the Overwatch characters specified? Is Tracer Anglican?
It's entirely possible to enjoy something while also being able to provide it with constructive criticism, so it can be even better.
Those characters are just ugly, not old.
Zenyatta has some sort of religion.Is the religion of any of the Overwatch characters specified? Is Tracer Anglican?

It has a lot of asian characters.

I absolutely don't pick Torbjorn. I sometimes pick Reinhardt though.Does that actively keep you from picking Reinhart and Torbjorn?
"non-ludotypical body types for women"
what does this even mean ?
ludo and non-ludotypical are not defined and show zero search results in google.
someone educate me right quik
Torbjörn is 57.
Soldier 76 and Reinhardt (who is 61) are also old but they wear a mask/helmet.
Where its really lacking is in African and South American representation. One character each is a bit ridiculous, I hope they improve on that
