Sorry in advance but, this might be a bet vent-y

Marvel Rivals fans always try to justify the character designs for the female characters (which I'll admit, can be a bit goonarbait) by bringing up either Daw or Amari from Concord and literally ONLY THOSE 2 and going like "you see what happens when you don't have attractive characters" but they often forget that

1. LITERALLY NOBODY ASIDE FROM SONY EXECS WANTED CONCORD

2. Mei from Overwatch is also kinda bulky and a lot of people love her

3. just because your game has attractive characters doesn't mean it'll do well or be good. look at First Descendant. it's lost nearly all it's playerbase going from a 270,,000 peak to a 9,000 player 24 hour peak. having attractive characters didn't help that game

4 . When bringing up concord. It's not the the characters were unattractive. It's that they looked bad. Those are in fact two separate things. I don't think anyone is going to tell me the cast of Team Fortress 2 are hot. But they look great as characters. Each is fun to look at, expressive, oozes personality, and is easily identifiable. Concord's designs just looked like a shitty Guardians of the Galaxy knockoff . Porting the body and face of an OF model into the game wouldn't have changed that.
