Cats hate water, right? So what if Wuyang could deal extra damage to Jetpack Cat since you know... his primary fire is water
I mean this mostly as a joke, but I feel like it wouldn't be too bad of a decision considering how hard it is to hit a JPC with Wuyang
Someone who is a GM support (they main Ana. They climbed the low ranks with Moira) told me Wuyang is a shit support cause his heals are bad and I can’t climb the low ranks with Wuyang.
It got me thinking. I took a look at the leaderboard and wasn’t seeing any Wuyang mains (I’m on console. A friend of mine showed me what the leaderboard looks like on PC and all I saw was Kiri lol)
What are yalls thoughts on this? Are there any Wuyang mains who climbed low ranks? If so, I’d be interested in what you have to say.
Because I got so much positive feedback on my last post (jk, nobody saw it) I decided to make a song!
I had Claude help me make the initial lyrics and then tweaked them until I was happy with the flow.
Song generated with Suno.
I'll be honest with you guys, I've never been a huge fan of "shipping", but it's a big part of the OW community and we've got it for years now, which has inspired a lot of genuinely good artwork by fans. Wuyang x Juno seems to be decently popular and I can see how it could work. The thing is, the way Blizzard writers have been handling it in the Undivided comic feels corporate, for lack of a better word. Now, I'm aware this might just be teasing to create engagement (like this post) and leaving them as friends, and those of you might see this image and say "what the fuck is romantic about this?". If you're not caught up to the comic and avoiding spoilers, here's the thing...
The moment Wuyang appeared, he's been glued to Juno's panels. She aids him while he's injuried and since then he's pretty much the only interaction with other character's she's had, except a very brief sleepover with Hana and Brigitte. Juno was supposed to receive and train Anran and Wuyang, yet she hasn't really said a word to Anran and only shook Wuyang's hands and welcomed him. The story has been moving at a snail's pace (they have to drag it to make it to 40 episodes), and supposing Juno's the advertised central face of the story, most of what we see about her is that she's talking to or interacting with him in a way that doesn't really feel organic. She lost her home, her family is still in a dire situation at Mars, and all that tension was left the moment they started writing their interactions together. Some are cute and funny, but again, it just feels like Blizzard wanting the chinese public in specific to use Wuyang as a sort of self insert, being that Juno is a really popular character in China and well, he's the young, chinese male representative.
So, my concern is that instead of caring to write authentic bonds and let Juno act as our proxy to explore the situation and characters, this pair might be reduced to just a silly romantic pair for marketing purposes. D.Va, Mei, Brigitte; they're all characters who've been in the game for a while and have gone underdeveloped for long, this comic and their relationship to Juno would be a great chance to expand upon, but they've been relegated to background cameos, for example. We know the uh... NetEase competition already makes bank with couple skins and voicelines, so a synical part of me seems like they want to turn two of their most popular characters into a thing for the sake of revenue. For me it removes the charm.
If you see how Twitter reacted to Blizzard's official account teasing the pair, you'll know that at least this side of the world wasn't very fond of the idea. This pair doesn't seem to have the impact pairings such as Genji x Mercy, Pharah x Mercy or Reindhart x Ana have (stories that the community has wanted to see develop for a while), and considering the appeal Juno and Wuyang have, there's lots of fans that have made their own headcanons concerning the characters, and confirming/denying anything about their romantic identities would make more dedicated fans "lose" than "win". I don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly.
Anyways, long post, sorry, I'm autistic and OW is pretty much my hyperfixation right now, so yeah, I just wanted to place my feelings and thoughts somewhere and see what others thought about it, IF anyone actually does besides me, lol.
My cosplay arrived today! I’ll definitely get some better photos with more fitting scenery and his staff 😅
Hello there fellow Wuyang mains, I'm here today to share my expirience with the character!
So, I've been playing Overwatch for a little arpund 7 years I think? And I've olayed all the champs at least once and all the roles, but I never managed to find a good fit that was fun to use and made me truly enjoy matches.
Sure I've had fun with some of my favourites like Sigma, Widow, Ashe, Zen, Ana and so on, but I never truly found my real main, that was until Wuyang came out.
Many people complain about his lore, but I like his lore, I like his kit and his design, he has managed to make the support role (one of my favourite) fun again and after so many years without a main I finally found one. Maybe it's his unique primary or the way he has to be played since you don't really stay passive and heal while using him, but I just started liking support again thanks to him.
Is it just me? Or have any of you faced the same situation?
People were asking recently if they'll return in the future. So this is the second chance! Thought i'd share :)
Decided to queue support for ranked yesterday to play some Illari, wasn't doing the best so I said "fuck it let's mess around on Wuyang (I had at most 2 hours total on him by then)".
This guy is like crack to play. Such a fun primary fire that I hated on release because I wasn't good with it. Hitting potshots around corners feels amazing (for the one hitting them at least) and getting a corner kill on someone who's 10hp and thinks they're safe feels like the first hit of heroin all over again.
Tidal Wave is fun and well designed ability too. Always feels nice to boost heals and desperately pump all my heals into a tank that's 1 hit.
His ult is just such a well designed one as well. I see why he was (is?) so meta at the higher ranks/pro level. Similar to a Kitsune or Trans, it's such a good tempo ult to turn the tide (not intended) of the fight
In short, the dude is really fun and using his kit feels like drugs
Legacy aim assist is the way with this char
Well, gotta do it with new Intro highlight, once PotG a month is good enough :/
I went AP + Cooldown Reduction Wave Build. It was smooth sailing until I hit Pro 1. Then I had a bunch of losing streaks with teammates that could barely crack 2k damage but I powered through and got it done.
Like call me crazy or whatever but we can see the vision behind a wuyang x regina George ship right? The selfless, "I will help everyone", outgoing but shy at the same time boy and the mean, bitchy, pillow princessy, girl?? Please back me up here
This is my matchup tierlist as a GM Wuyang onetrick. What do you guys think?
I’m kinda sad about this change… 🥺
Wuyang’s little smile in the teaser looked so warm and charming, and I was really looking forward to seeing it in the actual patch too.
When I noticed it was gone, my heart sank a bit… I really hope you might consider bringing his smile back someday. It made him feel so special and lovable. 💜
