Blizzard says Overwatch's sexier heroes are more down to "technical hurdles" than a desire to make everyone hot, but fans would rather devs focus on finally fixing "same face syndrome"

Blizzard Entertainment developers have explained that Overwatch's roster isn't getting hotter for the reasons you might think, but that hasn't stopped fans from complaining that some of the characters' face models are way too alike.

It's no secret that Overwatch's characters have become more conventionally attractive through the years. Whether it was characters like Roadhog and Zarya or Junkrat and Mei, the hero shooter felt fresh for representing multiple body types and silhouettes at launch, alongside stuff like a talking gorilla or robot monk.
