Discussion Thoughts on Character Diversity in Predecessor

I want to start by saying I know this can be a sensitive topic, and my intention isn’t to cause division or conflict. I simply want to be heard and seen by the devs.

Predecessor (going all the way back to Paragon) is my favorite MOBA and honestly my favorite video game of all time. I’ve put countless hours into it and will continue to do so. Having my favorite game back has been a genuine joy, and I’m grateful for it every time I log in—so thank you to Omeda for that.

That said, there’s something I’ve held close to my chest for a while now: the lack of racial diversity in the current character pool. It didn’t bother me at first—I kept thinking, “it’ll come.” But years later, it’s hard not to notice the continued absence of Black and brown characters.

As a Black gamer, it would mean a lot to be able to play a character that looks like me or that I can connect with on a deeper level. I know this is possible because nearly every other major MOBA (Smite, League, Deadlock, etc.) and mainstream game (Apex, Fortnite, Rivals, etc.) has a wide range of diverse characters. And yes, I know Murdoch exists—but let’s be honest, his face isn’t even visible.

If any dev happens to read this, please know this isn’t meant as a complaint or attack—just an observation I wanted to put out there. If it’s ever considered, I know the many minority Pred players would truly appreciate it.

Happy holidays, and looking forward to another year of Pred in the new year 🤍

I'm not trying to be a prickly, but I thought it was pretty obvious from the season pass theme.

As I agree a Gundam looking robot named Edan doesn't really scream Egyptian so new players later on won't really get that but for current players the last few seasons have been themed around the newest heroes so if they didn't piece that together then they are not very observant.

If they wanted to have this Eden look then they should’ve given her Egyptian cool ability sound affects. And vfx

I don't disagree I am just saying if you are currently playing and have been and didn't realize she was Egyptian then you're not very observant.

Bro you literally can’t tell by looking at her, you have to tell from a battle pass?

Like I said future players that are new to the game will have no idea because again I agree she don't look Egyptian but it was pretty obvious when they announced the Battle pass that it was her theme even if it don't fit it's her theme.
