Why did they make her Chinese instead of an Eskimo?

Is it because Blizzard wants to pander to Chinese like they did with Mists of Pandaria?

It doesn't even snow in China. Chinese people don't even get as big as Mei. She's the size of three and a half Chinese people.

It would have made more sense for Mei to be an Eskimo. They have lots of experience with whales.

It depends. Sometimes asian girls are pretty. disliking them is actually pretty contrarian.

We like asian girls as a society because they exemplify what we perceive as femininity: thanks to their soft features, small stature, subservience and quiet tone.

This is why I don't respect Blizzard anymore.

They are against cultural appropriation.

It's bad enough to crush the culture of native Chinese citizens solely to pander to male gamers, but to sexualize her at the same time? Unforgivable.

If we take a company like Capcom, who not only bases their characters heavily on real world culture/dress/attitude/etc, then we would have been given a better representation of what a Chinese weather researcher would look like.

Can you really say Mei looks better then Ibuki in the image included? I thought not. Blizzard needs to get their act straight.

>>339337724

Not him, but there's not too many situations where there's an absolutely definitive hard counter. For example, there are certain character relationships that drastically favour one side over the other (i.e Torbjorn vs Tracer, Widowmaker vs Bastion) but at the same time if you let your opponent dictate your strategy then you can also be doing exactly what your opponent wants you to do.

For example, you may sacrifice an ultimate on X character to switch because the other team hard countered you only to have them switch to something else when you change your pick.

There could actually be a pretty interesting meta grow around ultimates and hero swapping if the playerbase doesn't suck.

Are you retarded?

Do you know what the mortality rate was for Native Americans? They weren't all amazing shaman/druids. The majority of them were war-like and marauded from place to place killing each other because they were too stupid to figure out how to farm and use proper irrigation techniques.

The only real thing they did well was ceramics, and even then that was another minority.
