The best/worst part of Reaper is I don’t think…

i think him and soldier 76 were deliberate design choices to reel in the dudebro fps players

This is 100% a possibility and a good observation, but the thing everyone needs to understand about Blizzard is Chris Metzen:

Chris Metzen is my handsome out of touch salt and pepper dad who is definitely not Bono without sunglasses. Chris Metzen’s life is better than everyone else’s because he writes things that he 100% believes are the coolest. Here is Chris Metzen’s OC Thrall:

He was made by chris metzen, the book that introduced him was written by chris metzen, and the game where he made his debut he was voiced by chris metzen. He is chris metzen’s beautiful green boy. Chris Metzen loves him so much that he has made sure Thrall has gone from a scrappy underdog to the most important character in the world (of warcraft) much to everyone’s dismay. Chris Metzen was legitimately upset when people called him a “mary sue” and to trust him. Thrall would get better. (He didn’t but Chris Metzen thinks he did.).

Enter Soldier 76:

Chris Metzen’s OC Soldier 76 is nearly 20 years old. He’s wanted to do something with this guy for about 20 years now! I’ve heard that he wanted to voice him too which is probably why his current voice sounds like a voice Chris Metzen would do. They didn’t put him in to appeal to Call of Duty bros. They put him in because Chris Metzen is Blizzard and Chris Metzen probably thinks Soldier 76 is just the coolest guy in their comicbook super hero world he’s wanted to make for 2 decades.

Good morning, here is a detailed 3D render of Dugtrio’s totally jacked bodies underground ⊟ 

This “Human muscle anatomy study” comes from Singaporean artist and game developer Lan Sei (via Inside Games), inspired by the first image that pops up when you search on Google for “what does dugtrio look like underground”. No need to search yourself, I can tell you what Dugtrio looks like: fucking ripped.
