I’m extremely sad that I can’t cosplay her, but I have seen so many latina girls cosplay her and look fabulous I wouldn’t even begin to want to compete with that! She is both so cool and so very cute, a slightly evil nerd who I would die for. I loved her from the moment I saw the “Infiltration” short and immediately fell in love with her. Seriously, I cannot maintain any sort of run and die almost as soon as I hit combat but if you think that will stop me then you are very wrong, my friend. What can I say about Sombra other than that she’s so very cool? I absolutely love her style and character, even if I am actually the worst at playing as her. No matter how many characters are introduced, Zarya will always be my fave and hold a special place in my heart. It helps being able to shield myself while attacking, because I do love a good run-up to my enemies. I don’t die as often as I used to and am actually pretty good at holding my own when playing as her these days. These days tho I take pride in maintaining Zarya as my main, especially if there is a healer around to maintain me. I hold out hope for the day I am “swol” enough to do this beautiful soft butch justice.Īs I mentioned previously there was a steep learning curve, exacerbated by the fact that Zarya has relatively low health and I tend to die before anyone can heal me. I still want to cosplay her despite now being blonde instead of pink, and being not even remotely chunky enough. When it came time for me to pick a character to play as there was no question – she was it. Zarya was the first character from Overwatch I truly fell in love with. Here it is: my Ultimate Overwatch Wife List. And of course, I’m dreadful at playing at all of them. Now I come back to four main characters, all women, all fantastic in their own ways. I began to look further and explore playing as other characters and classes. I’m terrible at shooters and I die again and again, but playing as this beautiful, strong woman I felt as powerful as she looked. So I started playing Overwatch and of course, I went straight to playing as Zarya – after all this time, how could I not? It was a steep learning curve – it turns out she is one of the more difficult characters to play as, but I loved it. The dudebros were furious but I was elated. Eventually the game was released to rave reviews, but still I hung back – who was this slim, brunette woman who was on the posters now? Where was my beautiful butch lady? A year on and it seemed like delight in Overwatch refused to abate – I read about the varied personalities of characters and how, despite class attributes, no two class characters were the same. It helped that at the time I had that exact hair cut. All I had to go on with Overwatch was a single image of a very buff, pink haired lady, who I either wanted to wife or be. After all I had a brief spell playing TF2 but the shine had long gone from a game where the characters were all male and pretty one-dimensional. When Overwatch first came out I was a bit reluctant to play it.
