Overwatch, the shooter from Blizzard, continues to enjoy increasing popularity on relevant adult sites.
Overwatch is not only suitable for playing with others but also for playing solo. At least, this can be interpreted from the most popular search results on Pornhub in 2016. Because Overwatch, and especially its heroines, easily made it into the top 20 of the most searched terms on Pornhub.
There is even an exact ranking of the most popular heroes and heroines. Users of Pornhub are overwhelmingly drawn to Tracer, while Bastion lands at the bottom of the list.
This list shows which heroes are most frequently searched on Pornhub
- Tracer: 2,421,530
- D. Va: 1,544,587
- Mercy: 1,218,236
- Widowmaker: 992,994
- Sombra: 474,390
- Mei: 311,874
- Pharah: 213,440
- Ana: 118,711
- Symmetra: 32,352
- Lucio: 22,808
- Athena: 17,029
- Reaper: 7,029
- McCree: 6,423
- Genji: 3,997
- Roadhog: 3,661
- Hanzo: 2,048
- Soldier: 76: 1,676
- Winston: 882
- Reinhardt: 453
- Bastion: 197
Among men, the Brazilian hero Lucio has taken the lead at position 10 and just manages to squeeze into the top 10. However, it gets particularly curious with the following hero “Athena.” Athena is actually not a playable hero but an AI that doesn’t even have a body. Junkrat, Torbjorn, Zenyatta, and Zarya did not make it onto the list of the top 20.
Overwatch was popular as a porn even before release
Overwatch was already very popular in the sex industry even before its release. Blizzard wanted to create a world with Overwatch, in which every player can identify themselves. The team designed its heroes to be as diverse as possible and did not make a big deal about the fact that some of the heroes are homosexual.
There is not just the big, strong soldier and the scantily clad, sexy girl. There is the big, strong woman Zarya and the talking gorilla Winston, who is actually a scientist. And these are just two examples in the colorful mixed world of Overwatch.
This also means for some players that they can find not only themselves in the characters but possibly also their ideal (sexual) partner. Although, it must be said that the top 5 of this list consists of young, attractive women in tight clothing.
Additionally, Blizzard made a lot of effort to make the heroes feel “real” with realistic facial expressions and interesting backstories.
Other video games have also managed this, so why is Overwatch such a popular gaming porn? Perhaps because it was possible to obtain 3D models of the characters in the early beta and use them as a basis for “filmmakers”. This makes the animated figures in the porn look particularly realistic, which could also be an appealing factor.
