The most impressive thing about this isn't that they broke the 1 million barrier but rather the speed in which they did it. It took less than 2 days for the gameplay trailer to hit that number and a similar amount of time for the cinematic trailer. The last character to break that milestone was Hazard but that was only for his cinematic trailer and you have to back nearly 2 years to Juno's reveal to find a hero this well received.

Needless to say but this character is going to be immensely popular.

I really liked Shion for the most part, but it was a little disappointing watching the reveal trailer and seeing what the next robot character looked like. Similarly to a lot of people, my main issue was that, apart from not articulating her words, her design read more like a robotic human rather than a robot trying to look human.

However, the gameplay trailer really made a big difference by giving so little articulation in the face and giving her that uncanny energy that was missing from the animated trailer. Personal preference wise, I still wish they limited her face’s movement to just the eyes to push it even further, but that’s not really an issue with conveying the theme like my previous critique.

There’s still some stuff I don’t love about it. It’s still a conventionally attractive, mean woman who’s a head of an evil organization, which feels a little reporter getting Domina and Vendetta so close beforehand. But again, that’s personal preference and minor nitpicks. Otherwise I really like her design now.

Also after posting this, I’m just now realizing she also has a fully human, biological looking tongue in the animated trailer.

Dva doesn't make it out of spawn but I feel like Brigitte would be a halfway decent MEKA pilot. 🤣 Who are swapping in your line up?

Seriously it takes her like, one whole second to kill me. Literally what could I do there? Other heroes with such a short time to kill require skill such as hitting headshots or have a higher risk because they have to get in close. This is just blatantly unfair. She’s so oppressive in low ranks. Just like every OP character, she’s just super easy to play. Most matches with her on one side generally win, same for when I play her. Just too easy.

She needs severe nerfing.
