What I personally find interesting, and it may be just a "me" thing, but a lot of these characters have a very strong animalistic theme going in their designs that just wasn't developed enough. For example: that flying grenade launcher girl - she's clearly a fly with her oversized helmet and red visor - so give her wings, additional arms and make her legs digitigrade and augmented so her ground pound move kinda makes sense; the green Yondu wannabe - he's a lizard, give him a tail, take off his ugly vest and instead of revolvers give him like crossbows that shoot his own quills or something. the Brick woman is a turtle, but her design is so awful that I have no idea how to fix it really without completely redoing everything; the fat medic guy - well he looks kinda like a teddy bear, an ugly ass teddy bear but still. So make him more adorable and give him a pistol instead of a rifle 'cause that doesn't make him look like medic at all. the weird afro buns assassin girl looks kinda like a manta ray, although I admit this is a bit of a stretch. and the paralysis demon is supposed to be a cat, so they could've made her more adorable, I guess. And I could go on and on. This game is really weird and fascinating to me, it's like someone made it their mission to make this game as bad looking as possible while at the same time trying to maintain a veneer of quality and competency.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the rabbit-themed sniper or the lizard gunslinger. Some of these designs are good, it's just that the ones that missed the mark sunk the whole thing down hard
I feel like Lennox’s revolvers at least work a little for them wanting him to be a gunslinger - lizards, the old west, that ALMOST works but that’s one of those things they didn’t work hard enough on. But as I say that a thought occurs. Why… do some of the characters have the weapons they do? Like, It-Z’s machine pistol doesn’t say anything about her or feed into anything about her character, Teo just has a generic bullpup. What’s up with that? Most Overwatch characters has a distinctive weapon that says something about them, but one of these guys just sorta has a gun that might as well be a burstfire m16. Does that feel right to you?
Ill give it this, this game has helped me, as an artist myself, to learn more on things I had taken for granted. edit: THANK YOU for pointing out how uncanny and wrong It-Z looks. I swear she just looks....wrong.
I called it the bile palette .
The color and shape language of this game is just really bad. and uninspired.

"The Spaniard" looks like he's about to oil up and wrestle you in a highschool gym.

Only a brain rotting with mental illness could have thought of it. It's just awkward.
