Polygon has reached out to Blizzard Entertainment for comment and will update if the company responds. Regardless of its original intent, the letter has morphed into a key symbol to signal support for Russia’s increasingly brutal and violent siege of its neighbor.īlizzard has made similar content modifications to Overwatch over the past six years: changing a victory pose for Tracer that was deemed to be overly sexualized by fans removing a noose spray changing the name of the hero formerly known as Jesse McCree and offering refunds for a premium skin inspired by an Overwatch League player who was accused of sexual assault. The letter was spotted on Russian tanks and other military vehicles when Ukraine was invaded in February, but the Z’s intended meeting was originally unclear. Zarya: What was your hometown like, Morrison Soldier: 76: Flat. Other versions include Vengeful Oni Genji and Moss Oni Genji. Zarya: All I see is a fool, mistaking a strong body for a gullable mind.

Notes: This skin theme is part of a shared theme of Fall of King's Crest. Upon taking damage, shielded targets (herself included) increase Zarya's Energy, which can greatly increase her damage potential. Zarya is capable of shielding herself and nearby allies.

It is only natural that their commander, Zarya, the Phantom Knight, serves as one of the four generals of the Raven Lord's army. Together We Are Strong - Designing Zarya in Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm. Zarya is a ranged Bruiser who combines protective shields with strong damage capabilities. Blizzard appears to be distancing itself, and Zarya as Overwatch’s heroic Russian character, from the letter Z’s association with Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine and homegrown, state propaganda-fueled support for the invasion. Zarya: You are the one making abominations.
