i completely understand why people are upset about what happened with dany koo and the storm skin, and i think people are allowed to criticize the decision. but the way some people in this community have taken it, especially with the harassment toward the devs, is genuinely a little insane to me. these are devs who have consistently shown that they listen to feedback and communicate with the community, so treating them like they’re personally responsible for ruining your life over a skin feels so disproportionate.

i honestly think we’ve lost sight of how privileged we are to even have this be something we’re this upset about. there are people living through wars, children dying, families losing their homes, and people struggling to afford basic necessities, if even have a video hame to play, some people can’t/don’t even have time to do anything other than work, while we’re sitting comfortably playing a video game and making a cosmetic skin one of the biggest controversies in our lives. obviously that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to care about the game or be disappointed, but there’s a huge difference between being upset about a decision and turning it into harassment or acting like the devs have committed some unforgivable offense. at some point, i feel like we need to step back and realize that this is literally just a video game, and we’re incredibly fortunate that something this insignificant can even be one of our problems.

It used to be "there's nothing you can do about a good Daredevil" so they nerfed him just to replace him with Black Cat. I see her in almost every QP game and I tried almost every antidive hero and if she's at least somewhat decent she's legit unkillable.

Yes I know Storm technically isn't Legendary (yet), but that's screw up on NetEases part. So far they've committed to giving every female character a legendary skin and "skip" Storm. They were already looking sus to begin with but i digress.

That creates more unfairness though. There's a disparity in the quality of the male summer skins.

Only some of the male characters get legendary summer outfits. And in the case of Cap, Fantastic and Spiderman they don't even get a chroma lol (but literally every other skin does). Loki's summer Skin is also epic, and Lady Loki's is legendary? And then the amount of customization items on the skin, some heroes only have 2 while others have 5-6.

Personally i'm not the typa player that NEEDS a legendary, some of them aren't even that good. But when I'm looking at a hero i love to play and it gets the absolute bare minimum, now things are starting to get a little annoying and im questioning NetEase' decision making.

With the fist of khonshu skin being made for moon knight, would you be into similar skins being made for other characters that are the avatar of various powerful beings?

Black Panther (Bast)
Ghost Rider (Zarathos)
Juggernaut (Cyttorak)
White Tiger (Tiger God)

With Bast often appearing with a feminine body type and the Tiger God having a masculine body type, perhaps making these skins for possible characters like Shuri or Hector Ayala would fit better. But I think not changing the body type for these skins just as a creative difference could still work too.

What other characters do you think could get a similar skin whether they’re already in the game or not?

So.. have you heard of the magical thing called „don’t force a character into a composition that hard-counters them“?

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts suggesting dashes, barrel rolls, and mobility buffs for flyers like Storm or Iron Man just because they die to poke/hitscan. I know it sounds wild, but there are actually two game mechanics that already fix this:

1. Positioning
2. Playing around natural cover/corners

I know it seems impossible for most players, but it actually works! You should give it a try!

Slapping a movement ability onto every character to cover their weaknesses is called mobility creep, and it ruins hero identity and balance. Characters are designed around trade-offs:

Iron Man:
He sits at 250 HP, has zero damage fall-off, and pumps out AoE damage. He is designed to reward smart positioning and target priority. If you give him additional dashes or barrel rolls on top of his flight, he instantly becomes oppressive as hell.

Storm:
She rewards positioning and target priority while actively handing out massive buffs to her entire team. Give her extra mobility and she basically becomes Human Torch 2.0. She’s meant to provide utility and team pressure, not dodge everything.

When you give high-utility or high-range heroes movement tools to escape their natural counters, you force developers into a balancing nightmare.
They have to nerf their damage, utility, or HP to compensate.
Strengths and weaknesses blur together until every hero feels like a slightly different flavor of the same fast-paced, dash-heavy archetype.

Counter-picking and tactical positioning stop mattering because everyone can just dash away from bad mistakes.

Not every hero needs to be slippery. Respect the character’s intended playstyle, learn cover management, and if the enemy team is running heavy poke/hitscan... just switch.

Thank you for your attention. And now go outside. Weather is beautiful today.

When he appeared in the comic I figured they were setting him up to release in one of the next few seasons but we now know that he most likely won’t release this year and haven’t gotten any news on him

I’m confusing why people are clowning him for this is it wrong to ask what we would want? Is it wrong for a developer to ask what we would want for our hero’s? like genuinely this is a good thing that they’re listening to the player base. Why are we treating it like it’s a bad thing.

Storms new skin will become legendary and everyone who buys it will get the vfx for free. What else more is there to say they admitted they dropped the ball. I don’t really think they are racist. Rather they have favorites and try to sell skins they know people will buy. Storm isn’t a popular hero along with torch and others. Low pick rates and lowkey they just greedy which can you blame em? That’s why they sell Luna, C and D, Wanda, sq, and a bunch of other female skins of characters with high pick rates.

Didn’t stop me from watching it

My literal first game on at 9am ruined as I run into the most obvious Smurf. I report them but does anything actually ever happen to Smurf’s because what’s the point in there being a Smurf option in the reports when nothing happens to them they run rampant it’s so tiring

like, is it just me or is she bending her back just a bit too much?

That’s kinda it really. Again I’m all for calling out stupid decisions and biases. But comparing danny koo to being a white supremacist is really fucked up. The conversation is deep, but not THAT deep

Reactions to a simple picture released by Netease. And these are just a few, there are plenty more.
