Yes, Pink Diamond really did need to become Rose Quartz

Pink Diamond’s made a lot of mistakes, but by far the weirdest criticism I’ve seen leveled at her in light of Pale Rose is that she shouldn’t have bothered with the dual identities, she should have just tried to save earth using her power and influence as a Diamond.

And that’s a strange accusation to throw at her because… she did do that.

We saw her do that.

It didn’t work.

I would go back and transcribe all of the dialogue from this scene, but I really don’t feel like it’s necessary. Just look at the body language here: Pink Diamond has NO power in this setting. She tried to convince the Diamonds to leave earth alone, and she couldn’t. The one time she even attempts to speak in this scene, Blue shuts her down before she can get a word in edgewise.

Pink’s relationship with the other Diamonds is clearly analogous to that between a child and her parents, and I think people are forgetting just how hard it is to stand up to your parents even when you know that what they’re doing is wrong.

Usually, the only recourse a child has in this situation is an outside authority figure like a teacher or another relative, but Pink Diamond doesn’t have that. Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond are the god queens of their society. There is nobody for Pink to turn to and ask for help in convincing them to change their mind.

The only other authority figure Pink could possibly have turned to is White Diamond, and she’s still an enigma. Just about the only thing we can say about White is that she exists, and even that is still somewhat uncertain. It’s entirely possible that Pink DID go to White Diamond for help and we simply haven’t seen the effect (or lack there of) of White’s counsel.

All of which is to say that Pink Diamond really didn’t have any good options. She couldn’t convince them to abandon the earth after the colony had been started. Had she openly rebelled against them (which would have taken a TREMENDOUS amount of courage) they would have just sent her to her proverbial room without dinner and completed the colony themselves.

So Pink did what she had to do: she created an enemy of Homeworld and made it so conquering the earth more trouble than it was worth. She followed the age old advice of the internet: Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman. Then always be Batman.

Support Hero Changes

in an effort to make support heroes more balanced, changes will be coming to them soon. the only person who won’t be changed is zen and I’ll go ahead and explain their reasonings below.

Ana

BUFF: Nano boost will heal the target 300 hp automatically.

if you’ve played ana you’ve been in this spot more than once: you are at an opportune nano moment. The fight is full swing, your target has an ult and is in just the right position. but their health is low. maybe you rush to nano and they die or you decide to hold onto it so they don’t die. either way you’re limiting yourself and throwing away a golden chance bc of their health. Now, you don’t have to worry that much about it. A nano will heal all squishes and will do a good dent into the healing of tanks. the devs explain that this new change will be a clutch way to quickly heal, a dragon blading genji for example, in the middle of a fight.

Brigitte

NERF: shield bash increased from 6 to 7 second cool down.

Out of her entire kit, Brigitte’s shield bash is one of her strongest abilities. That being said, it can be really hard to play around, especially if the brigitte player is actually good. Overwatch is careful to keep her tank-healer hybrid, so instead of nerfing the shield health, they simply added a second to the cool down. This way, you will be able to fight against it more.

Lucio

BUFF: Sound Barrier effect increased 50% from 500 to 750 shields.

BUFF: Crossfade aura radius increased 20% from 10m to 12m.

The first change comes to Lucio’s ultimate. When he ults now, each person who is n range will be given even more shields than before. This was done to help counter larger spikes of damage- for example, a junkrat ult.

The crossfade buff was simply done so that Lucio can move around more and be more flexible, while still helping his team out.

Mercy

NERF: Primary fire healing has been reduced from 60 hp/s (healing per second) to 50 hp/s.

The main goal blizzard has for mercy is to pump out healing at a consistent rate. However, this has made it difficult for other healers to keep up, thus keeping Mercy at the top of the pickrate list. This change was done in order to help other support get picked more. They made sure to note they will keep a close eye on Mercy.

Moira

BUFF: Healing resource base regen rate increased 20%.

This change was mainly done for when a person cannot get close enough to enemies to drain resources/do damage to get more healing. Now, she will be able to regenerate her Heal Juice™ a bit faster than before.

Zenyatta

No changes! The devs feel like his damage/healing hybrid is at a good spot and that he doesnt need any nerfs or buffs.

“I’m a physical actor in that I start with a physical sketch of the character. I find it easier to find inspiration from the outside in. If I find the character’s tensions and the way he carries himself or looks, that’s going to affect how I talk. So that’s how I start to create that person.”
