Tag: overwatch thing

One of my favourite things about Overwatch is that it gives us another opportunity to shut down dudebros and dudebro game devs and publishers who don’t want video games to have female leads because the target democratic is boys and they couldn’t immerse themselves with a woman playable character, cause like Overwatch is one of the most successful video games Ever and it has a diverse cast of ten female playable characters (plus Orisa) guys have no problem playing as so if Overwatch can do it but you can’t then maybe you just suck.

Tbh I love Doomfist but I just can’t deal with people who feel like they can’t praise him without bashing Orisa with the same breath. Orisa is a completely different hero if you think Doomfist is the ideal hero for you it’s no surprise Orisa’s not your cuppa, but that doesn’t mean you have to shit on her.

with all this stuff about overwatch it got me thinking about vox machina as playable multiplayer characters 

like grog’s the easiest to use for beginners but it’s rare that anyone mains him for damage because he’s a good tank
his ultimate attack would be a death drop from the sky with a “FOR STRONGJAW” and if used correctly its an instant KO for at least two people and SERIOUSLY fucks up anyone else within range

there’re either ten vaxs in your group of varying skill or one beginner there is no in between
ultimate: “Your fate is sealed here.” cue raven feather attack and he is invincible for ten seconds if he gets a kill

there is rarely anyone who plays keyleth because people misinterpret how she’s meant to be used but when there IS one person who knows how theyre always the MVP tank of the match 
ultimate: “You are not worthy!” anyone in the radius is grappled by vines and is hit by pretty much the video game equivalent of call lightning. everyone scatters at the sound of thunder 

percy is by far the most difficult character to play (people who don’t know how to use him die constantly) but he’s the secret mvp like. you didn’t even know someone in your party was getting all the kills until the end screen
ultimate: “YOUR SOUL IS FORFEIT!” and it’s pretty much the body of orthax coming up from behind him and creating a smoke bomb that covers a big portion of the area it was dropped in (an instant KO for ppl who were within the radius at the time and if you stay in it too long it gives you damage over time)

vex would be the obvious sniper class and have all the usual ppl trying to be MVP and thus no one being MVP
ultimate: “Trinket, cannonball!” a giant roly poly bear comes out to attack you and you’re rained on by arrows. everyone agrees it’s the best part about playing her

no one ever complains when there’s a pike in the group because lbr no one hates the healer. however, it gets annoying when ppl just melee ‘cause they don’t realize she can heal
ultimate: she’s one of the only characters that has two options,

“Gotta heal my family!” you can either do a mass heal or “Try and dodge this!” summon a giant sword that’s like those dancer bosses in dark souls that just spins around and does massive damage and is unavoidable

scanlan’s like percy, no one ever uses him because his attacks require so much strategy but anyone who’s a pro at using him is The Worst and is always the main one being targeted the entire game
ultimate: the bg music dies down, is replaced by smooth jazz and a pink filter with sparkles and you hear “Scanlan make you feel real good!” anyone within radius is paralyzed, there’s a loud humming noise and an instant KO as he slashes everyone with mythcarver
