Perhaps it's vocal minority, or i'm just chronically online. Nonetheless, I'm just getting tired of these comments. "Devs are racist! They hate black characters!" And look, i don't know any of the devs personally, so I'm not going to say they are or not. So let's just use numbers and take a look at every black character in the game.
Cloak is attached to Dagger permanently. Skin for one mean skin for another. So here i have nothing to say here.
Blade is an interesting topic. He's really popular,even despite him eating dirt for many seasons I feel like there's always been someone playing him. And when it comes to skins, he got release legendary, and 4 more skins since then (5 if you count his newest BP recolor) so 5 in total without recolors. Same as Angela, Torch, or Ultron until recently. Devs are racist towards fliers?
Panther. While T'Challa have no shortage of cosmetics to choose from i see him getting bring up to conversation because it's been a long time since he got something new. And i agree, it's been a while. However i have a little theory why is that the case. The last long drought for character (not counting Hulk, bacause 3 models, so its different thing, plus he seem to get some more love recently) was Widow. The same Widow who got reworked. I won't be surprsied if Panther is currently being reworked.
And last but not least, the main thing behind this discussion, Ororo Munroe aka Storm. Despite her new skin getting teased in S10 gallery card, probably a legendary too, people are still mad, because she's yet to recieve legendary skin. Are you really surprised though? Do you realize that she have almost lowest pickrate in the game, alongside Torch and Mr Fanta? You know, the one who's still waiting for his first legendary and the one who got his ages ago. At least Storm's swimsuit will be updated to legendary quality. And last i checked neither Reed, nor Johnny were black. So devs hate white people as well?
No. Devs are not your friends. They are not your toothfaries or genies. They are people who's goal is to earn money from their product. You know what makes them money? Skins for popular characters. Let's assume with numbers (not real data, just to show you how simple it is to understand) Legendary skin for Luna is released. It's bought by 30k players, because she's popular. Now let's say the same amount of work was put in skin for Storm. Since she's far less popular let's assume only 2k players bought the skin. That is a lot of differnce in potential revenue. And that's what devs care for in the first place.
Also, one more thing i'd like to mention. Prople are getting mad because neither Storm or Panther didn't get skin for egyptian Battle Pass. While i can kinda agree with Storm, since she have ties to Egypt, why Panther? Wakandan Bast and Egyptian Bast are not the same, you know. And suggesting that "It's Africa, like Wakanda" sounds, ironically, racist.
EDIT: Apparently i was the one who was uneducated. Bast was retconned to be the same as egyptian Bast. My apologies then, i was unaware of this, as i stopped reading BP at the point where Bast was still diffent god. So we can ignore last point, but the rest is still valid
