A surge of feedback is lighting up forums as players express frustration over support charactersโ€™ exaggerated vocal responses after taking minimal damage. Many are questioning if this leads to unnecessary distractions in gameplay, raising their voices in heated debate.

Recent Shift in Character Reactions

  • Others shared their embarrassment, "225 goes to 224 and sheโ€™s screaming, I actually get so embarrassed."

  • Criticism also came for Kirikoโ€™s lines: "Kiriโ€™s still seems more frequent/jarring even after adjusting to the update." One player shared their perspective, stating, "I turn around when I hear quotes like that only to realize my Kiriko was crying over a D.Va potshot across the map."

Interestingly, some disagree. One user noted that these calls might help alert teammates. "Thanks for the good laugh," they said, hinting at a lighthearted view of the new voice lines.
