Ludo is "play," so I just coined it. Not typical for games.

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.
That said, I'm all for a diverse cast in games. You can have all different kinds of ages, colors and races in the game and I'll be 100% fine with it (why wouldn't I be). What I'm not fine with is when people constantly tells other people what they should put in their games or else they'll get offended and start to cry about it. The artists clearly made the characters they wanted to make, and that's the way it should be. Maybe they'll make more old people down the line so you'll be happy.
I would assume Pharah is a Muslim given that she's Egyptian. However religions aren't really highlighted at all in Overwatch. The bigger issue here, which I highlighted earlier, is that the cast of heroes is incredibly America and Euro centric. There are only two heroes from Africa or Latin America (Pharah, Lucio), while everyone else is basically from America, Europe, and Australia. Asia has some good representation (Japan, China), but that's not a new thing for video games.
There are actually more non-human heroes than there are African or Latino heroes.
Are you being serious? There's no religious representation in Overwatch other than some costumes like Symmetra.

To make a game that makes noone offended by the lack of a certain minority or race or age or caractheristic would require a roster of 300 ~
Can we just stop all of this pointing fingers garbage. We're guys and we notoriously like younger women. Why? Because biologically they produce better (or in some cases more frequent) quality off-spring.
Its not sexist its natural science, asking them to stop is asking all men to apologize for being men. Yes, guys can be sexist pigs but that's more of a personal choice not a biological pre-determined decision.
It has a lot of asian characters.
May I ask where the Muslims are?
We're underrepresented in gaming, almost none in positive terms, where is it in Overwatch?

No Overwatch characters have a religion that exists in the real world. Only one at all is Zenyatta and his robo monk stuff.don't want assumptions
so we have religious representation then?

Uh Pharah?
She is from Egypt.
To be fair, the only visibly old male is a dwarf.
Hanzo may be 48, but definitely looks 30ish.
The contrivances in the OP are.. peculiar, though.
How do you know which religion everyone in overwatch has? Where are the atheists in Overwatch?
We need more satanic representation in Overwatch. Reaper doesn't cut it.
Because society puts things that way, so we should all be responsible for challenging it.
There are literally some women who are so afraid of getting old because of the way society treats them that their self esteem is ruined & they resort to extreme plastic surgery and other cosmetic treatment which ruins their bodies.
Let's say Mei was an old looking woman.
People in China would start to argue:
"Our character is old, why can't Blizzard give us Korea's character?"
"Even America get's a young person skin, why can't Mei?"
"Germany is old too, guess America's vision of us because of communism hasn't changed after all this time"
etc, and so on.
Instead we have a character with a creative back story instead of one that's focused on social agenda's.

Being a citizen of country X luckily doesn't make you a follower of any religion.

Junkrat is pretty cute to me in a crazy archetype way. And roadhog doesn't even show his face so i already caught the fat shamers in this thread. Let's see them try to dodge this one.
Her name is Fareeha Amari.
Does that do enough for you...if not then what else do you want them to do to make sure of that? Specifically mention it in her bio that she is muslim.
It's worth nothing that no robots or true cyborgs in the game can be female.

Does this stop anyone from having fun?
You can enjoy - even love - something and still be critical of it. If you are not critical of the media you love, you may as well be an open wallet, and just let companies have their say with you.
I mean I don't think Reaper counts as representation of some death cult religion either.Mercy is literally a Christian representation of an angel.... halo and all...
"Play nice, play according to the Quran"Should be her default emote. "Hey guys, I'm a muslim."
Well Pharah's Egyptian so it's possible that she's Muslim?
She could be a scientologist for all we know.Her name is Fareeha Amari.

It honestly feels more like Symmetra being Indian means that she gets a type of skin that's sort of stereotypically associated with India.so we have religious representation then?

Mercy being 37 doesnt really make sense age wise to me since shes a founding member. Not that it matters, as the fanbase views her as the 'mom' of the game.
Mei actually sounds older in some interaction dialogue when she's not doing her cute voice. I've had some people in my group saying "that doesn't sound like Mei!". I guess it just depends on her cadence but I personally think she sounds her age.
Don't assume please, he could be an atheist for all we know. Unless one of his attacks is called like the Hammer or Islam or something?I can't think of any Muslim Overwatch characters, but we got this guy in a game this year:
This is literally all fighting games. Old females are strictly prohibited.
yes, it's very common in fighting games too. I used this as part of an essay I did for uni.This is literally all fighting games. Old females are strictly prohibited.
The entire cast is incredibly muscular, but notice the male body shapes vs. the female body shapes. If you removed their identifying character traits, the women would appear the same while the men would not.

True but why knock overwatch which is already trying to take steps in having more unique characters. Sure they will not get everything right the first go around but there are still more characters to be released so lets see what happens.
Yeah.
I'm struggling to think of any post 50 female hero in the MCU.
