3 and 5 (i also still play overwatch ksjshsj) for your ask game please! <3

I did already answer number 3 on this other ask here 😊

As for Overwatch hot takes? Buckle up cause these are something else

*couple things to keep in mind about myself: I never got the Pink Mercy skin and I am sad cause I play a fuck ton of Mercy, my brother is a Junkrat connoisseur and I am afraid, I'm a console player*

For those that don't know Pink Mercy is a skin that was available for purchase back in May of 2018, and all the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It's a Pink Ribbon themed skin and has cool special effects and was all for charity. There's a lot of divide in the Overwatch community on whether or not the skin should be brought back. A lot say it shouldn't because it should stay special, but the other half are saying "why are you gatekeeping a skin that's literally for charity? It's pixels for charity, why can't we bring it back?" Odds are it will never come back, as at some point the BCRF had said they weren't going to do it, so there's no point in arguing about it.

Overwatch 2's monetization honestly isn't that bad. There I said it. I think it had its moments where even I was like "this is ridiculous" but it's not terrible. It's gotten better, they're adding more frequent events, they're allowing stuff to be purchased in the Hero Gallery after a certain time frame. They've gotten better about when they release a "bundle" in the shop, that if there are multiple skins, they have a "Mega-Bundle" and then each skin is available individually. There's more ways to earn old Credits, which can be used to purchase skins and shit in the Hero Gallery, even for new heroes!!, and there's still ways to keep buying the BattlePass cheap.

I just honestly don't think it's the worst, I think people overreacted with the change, and there are worse things in the world.

Junkrat is actually one of the most well-balanced heroes in the game. If played like the average player, where they just spam his grenades in a spot and hope for the best/occasionally throw a mine/leave a trap just anywhere, Junkrat can be easily avoided and countered against. When played by someone who is Junkrat himself (ie my brother), they're still really good but Junkrat cannot solo carry an entire team. He's still incredibly reliant on his teammates to help him. *side note: the most terrifying thing to witness is your team's Junk to suddenly fly into the air and solo kill a Pharah and prevents a Mercy from rezzing. That shit haunts me*

Pink Mercy should not be brought back.

Unless she's only available to purchase with a second Pink skin for a different hero.

In the shop for Overwatch 2, there's bundles and ways to get things by themselves. I'm thinking Pink Mercy would only be available in a Mega Bundle type deal, where you get that skin, maybe like 2 other legendary skins, some sprays, couple player icons, couple name cards, a player title, and a couple weapon charms. Then there's a smaller bundle that is just the new stuff. Pink Mercy released with a couple of sprays as well, so I'm thinking all of this is only available in the Mega Bundle.

There should be like another "Pink" charity event that gives at least one other hero a "Pink" skin. The new skin is available on its own or with a couple other rewards. Pink Mercy can only be attained by purchasing the big bundle that includes the new Pink skin and other rewards like sprays and other cosmetics.

As for which hero I think should get a Pink skin, I'm still undecided. My favorite choices are Baptiste or Lucio (both would rock a Pink skin and Bap is a fellow Combat Medic so it works out in terms of the theme) but honestly any of the other Support heroes are the best options.

Supports deserved the recent nerfs. As a Support main, I can say they were too strong. Part of the issue is there was a power creep where everyone else's damage got buffed, so healing got buffed to compensate. But then that initial damage buff got nerfed, and the Supports were never touched during that. Thus, their numbers stayed high, their healing was strong, and the impact they had during fights stayed the best.
