    I don't think complaining about this comes at the right time. When they've patched in stream of US Americans, sure you can complain. But at present the lineup is remarkably diverse imo.

    You also don't make any particularly concrete suggestions. All Overwatch heroes have a very clear silhouette and identity that fits their background. What might a Polish or Romanian hero look like and do?
    Oh I m not complaining I m just making suggestions.
    Also Mercy is from Switzerland but she speaks German as plenty of Swiss people do depending on area.

    They will be adding more heros. Perhaps the country's you want will be added later.

    Well, Blizzard is an American company. Of course they're going to show off what they know themselves. And, at the very least, Reaper's real name is Gabriel Reyes. Having a hispanic person from the U.S. reflects real life a bit, as well. And, you may want to look at the map again - D.Va is from South Korea, thus why there's a red box next to Japan and below North Korea. Genji and Hanzo are the only two Japanese characters, each filling their own role and type just fine. D.Va is a perfect representation of a futuristic Korean person imo, they nailed her aesthetic well. Mei was a great choice for China, as well.

    That said, I don't think they're done making heroes for Overwatch. They said once that since the game isn't free, players would simply get any future heroes for free. They definitely could have more representation of the world, including more of Africa, Europe, and South America. Personally, I'd love to see someone from Southeast Asia.
    3 hints to surviving MMO-C forums:
    1.) If you have an opinion, someone will say that it is wrong
    2.) If you have a source, there will be people who refuse to believe it
    3.) If you use logic, it will be largely ignored
    btw: Spires of Arak = Arakkoa.

    Also, any greek character should have meachanics involving some sort of life drain/soul leach ability and there should be some sort of unique voice line triggering each and every time reinhardt comes close to greek hero.

    Meanwhile you have other posts whining about too much diversity and pandering.

    We need a Finn in this game.

    Shift - Rotates between coffee, beer and vodka
    E - Drinks the selected beverage; coffee = movespeed, beer = damage, vodka = damage reduction
    Q - Winter Depression; 6 second duration, slowly reducing the movement and attack speed of nearby enemy heroes (moderate range, requires LoS). Enemy heroes that are within the effect after it ends are stunned for 1 second.

    It's what happens when there's pretty much nothing to complain about, lol. People aren't used to it I guess. I mean, you really gotta dig deep to make an issue out of something like this.

    Also, I think Reaper (Reyes) is Hispanic. The leader is an American soldier and McCree is a wild-west cowboy type. How could he not be American?

    Says on his discription on Overwatch page that his name is Torbjörn Lindholm from Gothenburg, Sweden. What more proof do you need? Sweden dont really have a distinct English accent.

    To be fair, having someone from your country isnt always the best of things.

    Tracer's accent is fucking unbearable.

    I'm from Gothenburg, we do have a very distinct accent. The description might as well say he is from south Africa. There is nothing in his character that references his origin.
