"Why are there so many female Mercy mains?" - The real reasons and a woman's perspective for those who care

I'm a guy with a beard so i guess I should only play Reinhardt right? Or Soldier cause I'm from Indiana? Nope, my most played are Zarya, Pharah, Ana, and Symmetra, all female. I play a female character in Fallout, Bloodborne, Skyrim, and males in Halo, CoD, Stardew Valley, Mass Effect etc. it turns out that people like to play what's fun, not just play whoever they look most like.

My personal bet: there are very few females I know who actually game as much as the average guy, and the few that do play usually stick to mario kart/overwatch/rocket league/league of legends/zelda, mostly entry-level popular games. Very few seem interested in more indie experiences like subnautica and the like. In the early 2000's only nerds and losers played video games, so very few females wanted to be associated with it. Now nerdy is "cool" so they're all jumping on the bandwagon. I don't think this has to do with "society telling them not to be competitive" I think it has to do with people only getting involved when they can jump on a bandwagon and not hurt their image.

GM just isn’t fun take it back suddenly everyone seems to love crossovers, so heres my pitch (one MK skin for every hero) I don't understand how the current matchmaking system is even a discussion internally. Overwatch x One Punch Man Collaboration Official Trailer am i dumb or does mercy actually feel more powerful now? The Widow Problem in OW2 Overwatch 2 Developer Blog: Explaining matchmaker goals and plans, part 2 I think Kiriko’s suzu is balanced and shouldn’t be touched. Change my mind. I don't want to play Overwatch anymore. Matchmaking is horrible. Cosmetics are ridiculously expensive. Balancing is all over the place. Skins and heroes are cool, but not worth buying, and the game is not worth playing. Ow2 needs faster ballancing Do you think Overwatch should have a “vote to forfeit” option during ranked matches? Overwatch Positivity Why hasn't the match making been fixed? Season 3 is going to feel so underwhelming without a new hero. As a beginner, the state of matchmaking is making me quit
