A mashup of all statements from Jeff Kaplan is currently a hit on reddit in Overwatch.
Jeff Kaplan sees a romance between Torbjörn and Reaper in Overwatch. He also wants you to be frustrated and buy loot boxes.
Last week, there was primarily one topic in Overwatch: Tracer, the face of the game, is lesbian. While some people make a big deal out of it, with reactions ranging from “This is the best thing that could happen to the game” to “I’m uninstalling Overwatch now,” many players have more pressing issues.
The YouTuber dinoflask took all the “Developer Updates” from Jeff Kaplan and edited them together to create a completely new video. What Jeff announces in this manner is so amusing that Reddit rewarded the post with over 33,000 upvotes. You can watch the video in English here.
We have the translation for you as well:
“I know that you have a lot of questions about the matchmaking system. That’s why I want to explain as much as possible. What I’m hearing from many people is that Competitive Play is completely unbalanced. But the reason you’re facing the best pro gamers on the opposing team and feel like your team members are playing without hands is that we, the Overwatch team, thrive on your negative experiences. We want you to feel really frustrated and angry. Basically, I want you to buy loot boxes when your skill rating drops. We want you to go to the shop after a humiliating ranked game and say, ‘Oh man, maybe I’ll get lucky and get a cool player icon!’
“We’ve also announced that Tracer is gay. We’ve been following the discussion, and it’s a very heated topic. People want more and more. And we want to create that excitement and tension for you: ‘Wow, which character will be gay next when I log in?’ For example: We have a lot of feelings between Reaper and Torbjörn. We know that the two are attracted to each other. And Torbjörn has the hardware to satisfy Reaper. I apologize for not revealing all the details, but plenty of explanations will come soon. But for now, I hope you enjoy this gay cosmetic reward simulator. We wish you and your silly families a very warm and gay holiday.’
What do you think of this mashup? Amusing or rather silly?
