Not trying to start a conflict. And if no-one takes it that way; great! I've just had enough conversations about representation that I get very defensive when discussing it on the internet.
But we've got 119 heroes. 2 (I think) are black. Chen & Legion Commander. I've spent a lot of time looking at Chen trying to figure him out but I'm going to count him just to be fair.
When you're learning the game. Really the only thing that keeps you playing when nothing makes sense and you hear about how long it takes to learn the game, is the the fantasy. The implicit role play of being a supreme assassin from a secret sect of invisible warriors. At least that's why I spam picked Templar Assassin (Sorry to my early team mates).
It would be cool though, if that fantasy involved people I looked like. Right now, I've got more choice if I want to play as a weird stone man thing (Earth Spirit, Tiny, OD), than if I just wanted to be black.
