Please don't come here to thread whine I just want to say I love Overwatch. Aside from competitive problems, I find it hard to complain about the game.
Diversity or lack of diversity doesn't bother me about games but when I hear people praise Overwatch's diversity it kind of irks me. All of the Talon villains are minorities. 2 Latin villains- Reaper and Sombra. 1 Nigerian villain- Doomfist.
One of the Talon villains is a French lady but she's not caucasian anymore. She is blue skinned because she's supposed to be cold blooded or something. She's not representative of caucasians. Moira is supposedly (though not confirmed) an LGBTQ representative.
None of this really bothers me to where I am upset but I am kind of annoyed. Where's the evil McCree? Evil Reinhardt? We don't need copies of those two characters but our German guy is a buff fun loving friend to everyone. Our cowboy is a handsome rogue that fights for justice. Soldier is the hardened but good hearted hero.
Maybe this is poorly thought out but I'd like to see some villains that aren't minorities.
Edit: I realize that Sombra may not be a villain but we don't know her true motives and she is still working with Talon for her own purposes.
