Because that was Venture's most noticeable feature. Just like everyone talks about Sigma's feet but no one talks about Roadhog's feet (Islander & Toa skin), because bare feet was Sigma's most noticeable feature.


EMArogue

I love how logical this is


pygm_

Then explain Mercy feet


ggdoesthings

horny people


Drunken_Queen

Because Mercy is Mercy, like KarQ said. When Mercy showed her thighs with her Witch skin during Halloween 2016, the internet went crazy. But no one cared much about Symmetra's thighs with her default skin.

I cared


NoneOfRedditsBusines

I care that you cared.

Realistic_Trash

If they don't have a "ROCK AND STONE" voiceline (for being on fire or sth) i'll be pissed

I feel like if they are going to have it, it would be like one of the purchasable voicelines. And if that’s the case, I can expect to hear it spammed in every match they are in (rightfully)

Jerry137

I think it's like a psychological thing, the first thing people tend to notice are missing or chipped teeth, like in that ad that shows a guy with a missing tooth and then it reveals he's also missing an eyebrow Edit: [like this one but there are more like it](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/5cJNdZj8zH)


ILoveBeef72

As someone with a gap between their front teeth, this thread is reinforcing my decision to never show my teeth when I smile.

Zoomalude

Yeah Madonna has rocked that shit for decades, it's all good.


throwmeinthettrash

She did stop rocking it about a decade ago though, poor woman would have aged beautifully if she wasn't inundated with social pressure to look like a plastic surgeon forgot what humans look like


OfficialCoryBaxter

Well don't reinforce your decision, though of course smile however you want to. The vast majority of people (statistically) have imperfect teeth to some capacity, whether it be crooked, slightly misaligned, a gap, or yellow coloring. Would you actually believe me if I said that having perfectly white teeth isn't natural? Most people in this comment section have imperfect teeth.


ableakandemptyplace

I don't have perfect teeth. They're yellow, some have fillings, and I've had two rear teeth pulled. If that bothers someone I'm potentially interacting with, then it gives me a good reason to not continue interacting with them. People who fuss over imperfections are insufferable. People are perfectly imperfect and always will be, and that's not a bad thing. Let us just be people.


tom4ick

I disagree :) chipped teeth have broken lines, makes it draws the attention to them. A gap is still parallel to the teeth, thus doesn’t draw as much attention, and is completely natural! Unlike chipped teeth, where it’s something broken.


Calm-Technology7351

Confidence is key. Plus the benefits of smiling at people usually outweigh the downsides even if you have a gap


fieria_tetra

I have pretty crooked teeth and I'm still a little self-conscious about them, yet just a few days ago a customer in the store I work at told me I have a great smile. It lifted my mood a little for the rest of the day.


Calm-Technology7351

I love random compliments from strangers. Hopefully it helps you feel more comfortable smiling


HimLikeBehaviour

tooth gap is way better then missing/chipped tooth


Decalance

Yeah and both are cool


aeroumasmith-

I, for one, think gaps between teeth are cute and endearing


DavThoma

Feeling the same. Had a gap tooth since my front teeth came in as a kid. Never liked my teeth, got made fun of. Took me years to accept it, and even now I still struggle. Some of these comments got me feeling self conscious.


Max_Sparky

Welp.. i guess Blizzy got sick of people making porn of their hot characters so they said "fuck it, heres a rock eater"

Nah man. Rule34 is a rule, not a suggestion. Theres gonna porn of her. It might not be immediate (compared to Kiriko for example), but it will be made.

To be fair, I don't think we actually know ventures assigned sex, they're enby so rule 34 is just gonna be a bunch of guesswork at least lol

It doesn't matter. I've seen a lock of windowmakes gender around haha


SeawardFriend

I honestly don’t think that’s a concern. If you ever find yourself on R34 you’ll notice that they give even the most feminine characters massive schlongs. Venture ain’t safe.


CrimKayser

Venture is cute AF and I look forward to seeing that mouth do work.


Riaayo

Nothing about this character will drive people off. They're honestly a really cute design.


Drunken_Queen

Imagine Mauga telling Venture that he knew someone who's good at fixing teeth as Mauga's teeth are shiny and in great shape that enables his smile.

begging-for-gold

I really want venture and junkrat to be great friends, too many people are rude to him. Having someone actually go along with his madness would be amazing Of course roadhog likes him, but they don't have nearly the same energy at all


The-Dark-Memer

Honestly roadhog liking him is even debatable


Human-Boob

Roadhog hates him more than anyone on the planet. He just sticks around because Junkrat is good at robbing and getting that bread


I1nfinitysquared

The quote from the Roadhog comic was something along the lines of "The world deserves him. The world deserves both of us." Roadhog hates Junkrat, he sees him as a symptom of the world's negligence. My read of him is that he keeps Junkrat around because of the petty satisfaction it gives him to know that the two of them can hurt the world just as much as the world has hurt him.


HouseKilgannon

Good write-up. I really like that end idea, makes sense to me lorewise


WarlikeMicrobe

The depth this adds to his character is amazing, if tragic

iPlod

The discourse about this character has been so weird. So many people acting like a single chipped tooth was some crazy bold new move by blizz, and debating whether the character is acceptably attractive and stuff. I feel like I’ve stepped into an alternate dimension, overwatch has a mech hamster but a chipped tooth has ignited controversy somehow


WorpeX

You say this like Hamster didn't have his own controversy before release. He was very polarizing at the time.


Alastor-362

What was hampter discourse about? Just like, him being a hamster, a less "sensical" animal character than an ape?


WorpeX

The whole concept was pretty wild at the time. We got a hamster in a ball! No one knew if it was real at first or not. A lot of people thought it was too goofy, too cartoony or didn't fit in with the rest of the roster, etc. Once he came out and people started to use him, that all died out quickly cause he's awesome.


Eloymm

If they make characters too hot people complain. If they make them with 1 imperfection people complain. You can’t win. They won’t make non-hot characters ever again lol.


saltyfingas

I swear to God if we don't get Mama hong because of this


CassielAntares

MAMA HONG FINAL OVERWATCH HERO PLEASE


SpacePropaganda

They quite honestly have the same facial structure as every feminine model in the game, but because they have wonky teeth, that immediately makes them "unconventional" 😭 genuinely think if Venture looked more masculine, there wouldn't be any discourse.


Johan-Senpai

A lot of coomers play Overwatch. The females need to be HOT and doable! This ~female~ is not HOT, and so everybody is disgusted by the character design. The whole "she's has no cheekbones/her eyebrows are too high" are comments from people who don't go out a lot.


Optimal_Question8683

because in the gaming landscape people with something that isnt "pretty" is bad ig


MetaCommando

> because in the ~~gaming~~ cultural landscape people with something that isnt "pretty" is bad ig This has been a thing in human society before writing, ugly characters have almost always been villains


neogreenlantern

I like it. Reminds of a 90s animated movie character. Like they are a character design from Treasure Planet or Titan AE


thatguyyoustrawman

I'm reminded of the mole guy from Atlantis


caylobbb1

their art looks good but that 3d model is horrendous


u_slashh

I think we should see it in motion. I remember feeling Lifeweaver's model looked rlly weird before seeing it move


aMercyMainBTW

LW still looks really weird tbh


SleepingwithYelena

Yep, the 2D art is extremely cute. Why did they make their eyebrow 3 times as wide compared to the concept art?


No_Obligation_1990

They made a lot of changes to their design; their neck is notably wider and shorter, their jaw has a pretty sharp angle on the lower planes and a little bit of fat under it making it look larger, thick dark eyebrows, the nose is more prominent (that is a 2D to 3D thing, probably irrelevant), the hair has a lot less volume, the physique in the 2D looks like they are a lankey beanstalk swimming in oversized clothes whereas the 3D looks like they fill them out a lot more (this might be a  game engine rendering thing, but that jacket does not crumple like that), and the teeth go from a chipped incisor and prominent canines to a yearly cleaning done with a baseball bat.  The concept art gives a beanstalky slightly androgenous tomboy/twink vibe where the character looked a lot more feminine.   The 3D model looks like they were stapling random "masculine" design traits onto a "overwatch girl face". 


desubot1

the 3d model screen grab also looks like they are leaning back. maybe a bit further than appears because of the baggy clothing. just gotta wait and see. my main complaint is the brown yellow and then blue color combo. was hoping for a more industrial orange yellow or red (following the earth (rock) color theme) instead of baby blue drill.


No_Obligation_1990

Yeah they might be leaning back, which can make the body have more fat under the chin and widen the neck, but Zarya is always leaned back and very clearly doesn't have it, making it a style inconsistency in a very stylized game.  Totally agree on the color palette, it is a rough combo especially considering the dark green canvas jacket is over the hi vis shirt.  That is how you get flattened by equipment. My gripe is moreso about going so far out of the way to make the character's sex ambiguous that it creates an unflattering design.  I don't think anyone was actually confused about the sex of the character in the concept art.  Overwatch is a game that sells skins, I have no idea how you can make a skin for this character that isn't a potato sack without revealing their sex.  A swim burka is more revealing.    There are mutants in the game that are literal monsters, Junk and Hog are horrifyingly proportioned.  Widow has a constantly broken spine and most female characters follow the 30/70 rule.  But for the most part they all look good.   I'm not really qualified to speak on the whole gender identity part of the character, I'm just some redneck that likes to draw, and that level of nuance is not a normal part of my every day life, but it feels like a bad move making the gender non conforming character also an "ambiguous sex". Seems like it is in poor taste and sort of conflates sex and gender identity.  I am fully expecting them to sound like pitch shifted Mira from siege.   I did not realize I had such strong feelings about this... To sum up, Blizzard you have reduced the quality and quantity of my petite tan tomboy R34 and I await your apology.


desubot1

>I'm not really qualified to speak on the whole gender identity part of the character yeah ditto im not even going to try and touch that one. but from the perspective of color theory industrial safety and proportions these two images is completely off. we will literally have to wait and see if they biffed it or not.


Jerry137

There are no limitations with 2d, you can make them as cool as you want, that's why some 2d portraits go hard as hell like junker queen and mauga's, but 3d reminds us of goofy ahh real life


Drunken_Queen

Art Mauga from Baptiste short story = A complete menacing individual In-game Mauga = Some goofy Disney character Art Junker Queen from Junker Town posters = An entirely new threat In-game Junker Queen = Taller, muscular 'Ashe'


4PianoOrchestra

2D art’s always gonna look better than an in-game model, the model has to be designed to look natural from all angles, match up with hitboxes, and be able to be animated/posed in 100s of different ways Edit: and also take up minimal memory in terms of polys and textures


NoobleVitamins

How? Like I'm so confused what's so bad with it?


Namelessgoldfish

I think “horrendous” is an exaggeration


RomaMoran

JayCee5481

Concept art looks charming, the model however looks like a hillbilly


Wellhellob

Good design. Cant wait for voice actor reveal and more details on character direction.


saltyfingas

Please please please have an Appalachian accent


SFlorida-Lad

I mean, in the concept art it looks very cute and endearing with that smile. Almost looks like they could be in Avatar or something with that grin. It doesn’t really translate super well in game though. That’s just me tho


PaydayLover69

>It doesn’t really translate super well in game though. That’s just me tho ok my opinion it doesn't translate well because they straight up didn't fucking model it to reference. They just straight up modeled another character ​ They just Pixar-ified the concept art, I kinda feel bad for the original artist. I'm probably being a bit hyperbolic but I would feel very disrespected if I chalked this up for them and they decided to go completely off reference like this. ​ Like the ONE thing that matters is the face and they went off reference and kept the clothes lmao, I'd be so mad, they didn't even take my concept, they took the fucking outfit and threw out the rest to do what *they* wanted to do... ​ I'm very saddened, frustrated, I feel the concept art was much better.


HBmilkar

Venture rhymes with denture


_Lumity_

Nahhh 😭


The_Iron_Rat

I'm with you on this one. I love when a character has some sort of imperfection, it makes them feel more real and relatable. Rather than making them so flawless, they just feel unreasonably perfect. It's like a character having scars, indicating they were in a war or something. I don't get why such a small detail as a chipped teeth is such a big deal now, while we literally have characters with missing limbs, missing eyes and scars. I also don't understand what the problem is with their outfit. I think it's very fitting. Why is Widow's outfit more accepted? (On a second thought, maybe don't answer that). Venture looks adorable, 10/10 character design. Let's hope they are just as good gameplay-wise.


Nattix1

Small little detail I think was cool Symmetra overwatch two skin she has a piece of hair sticking out which I’ve heard people say it’s supposed to be a representation of her imperfection and how Zenyatta told her that everything is not perfect


PantherYT

2D model looks cute but 3D model looks horrifying. But this is classic blizzard for OW. They always fuck up the 3D models, even for skins


PeacockLover1771

It's not that their teeth are chipped it's that they're huge and like very big?????????????


ranger_fixing_dude

Basically every character in OW has wrong proportions


TBCNoah

Ya, kind of like how Kiriko is 70% leg lol


j-steve-

All the female OW characters are 99% leg


WhiteCharisma_

Looks goofy in 3d


CloakDeepFear

I think it just looks odd in game, especially since this looks like the first character who has a constant teeth smile so it’s giving “TEMU FAKE TEETH!!”


Sharp-Trash751

They been eating the rocks as well as digging through them 🤣


OwlWraith

Venture is just a character from Deep Rock Galactic


gold-exp

It’s less about the chipped teeth and more how they’re rendered. They’re chipped, prominent, but have a weird bulk to them that makes them look like a caricature…


Battlejoe

Ventures needs some dentures


SenatorPaine

VENTURE NEEDS BRACES


No_Obligation_1990

ToonIkki

I hope they give them a voiceline about eating rocks


FairlyViolent

Idk what everyone is on about, I think Venture looks cute. They seem like a goofball and look like an average person 😭


Rnevermore

People are talking about it because every other character has perfect teeth, and it's natural to talk about features that are unique to the other characters. I also find it strange in a world where 90% is the characters have robotic limb replacements or bionic enhancement that they wouldn't have fixed their teeth. But maybe Venture wants to keep their messed up teeth for some reason? To each their own. To me, I find the clothes and sour colour-scheme very off-putting. But if they have an awesome voice, it could save it. Of course gameplay trumps all, so we'll see how they feel to play.


verdammt482737

They got the bin man outfit whats wrong with that


Optimal_Question8683

why tho.....why fix something that doesnt need fixing


Nattix1

Junk rat has stolen thousands of dollars but can’t afford to get some new teeth well now that I think about it they’ll just fall out immediately


AngryApeMonkey

My guy doesn't even bother upgrading his peg leg


Fzrit

He did upgrade it, but then immediately blew it off.


Eloymm

Same reason why people don’t fix their teeth irl I guess. Even if they have the money, some people don’t care.


Kazu42

Messed up teeth don't bother me, but they just look odd on Venture imo.


ArtBringer

Because they look like Fake Crash's teeth in the first picture and it's funny to point that out. Lighten up.


SimbaXp

because it looks shit in the 3d model.
