I wasn't gonna say anything while passing through this thread but this last post baited me, congrats. I'm not going to pretend that black characters aren't done dirty in media all the time gaming included but if this is your motivation for starting overwatch or any game really then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. This seriously comes off as some pathetic whining. You sit here and say you've been aware of overwatch since it came out, yet you've never seen Sojourn, needlessly spinning it into a racial issue. You probably haven't seen her because she didn't get into the game until overwatch 2 was announced, she's one of the most recent additions to a sequel so it's not surprising you haven't seen her. Doomfist was released YEARS ago and he was the best character in the game for a while unquestionably. He didn't receive nerfs because he's black, he received nerfs because he was fucking toxic to play against. The man could literally one shot any dps or support in the game with a punch that moved at the speed of light that had the hit box the size of a fucking truck. Hopefully I don't need to sit here and explain why that is unhealthy for the game. Also no character has come out since that does anything even remotely close to what doomfist does even all these years later and that's with a rework from dps to tank. By design he's just a polarizing character. When he's good, he's utterly insufferable to play against and when he's bad, he's nearly unplayable. "Hasn't been meta for over a decade"... it hasn't even been a decade since the FIRST game came out and doom has been meta relevant numerous times. You're literally using race to create a problem with this game that simply does not exist. Pretty sad that you can't just enjoy the game for what it is instead of creating issues to complain about.
I'd like to see you say this to my face๐คฃ. All I said in my post was they do black characters bad and you literally started off your rant by agreeing with me. Which makes the rest of the post which I didn't read all of look stupid. You can't agree with somebody then get mad that they're elaborating their point.
Your whole generation looks dumb as fuck trying to silence someone telling the truth. Everything you say is a lie because of the generation you grew up in your basically incapable of making valid points or being coherent. I QUOTE.

ONLY TO COMPLETELY CONTRADICR YOURSELF
"You're literally using race to create a problem with this game that simply does not exist. "
There's 32 characters in overwatch and three of them are black. I'm saying they probably added doomfist to be a cool character to attract more players and he was probably nerfed to shit a year after he was introduced. It was just a guess but I'm completely right about it. Why? Because I've seen it happen my entire life. Why you think it's your buisness to get mad at me pointing out a fact tells me everything I need to know about your mindset.
