CONTROVERSIAL LEGENDARY SKINS IN OVERWATCH 2

[@joethompson79]

I know it's petty, but the only thing that bugs me about the aqua dva skin is that it counts against the hero gallery completion. I had everything else and now i will never be able to make it 100% complete again.

[@kram._.]

No way u paid thousand of dollars for every skin bro

[@Quisshy]

They should make the skin to where it doesn’t count for your completion

“free if you bought the battle pass” that phrase burned my brain

Time limited exclusive skins are fine, if they come back again in the future. But ones limited in availability like the Dva Aqua Tokki for only 300 people, nah Blizzard needs to stop that crap.

[@alexandredesouza3692]

The one coin Bastion Skin released on December 2022. (End of 4th Quarter) Overwatch 2 released on October 2022. (Beginning of 4th Quarter). People were boycotting the shop, but Blizzard needed to artificially boost shop sales to impress investors. Showing that somehow OW2 still had a successful release. And thus, Gingerbread Bastion was born.

[@SufferingJax]

i am 99% sure it was free for a short period but they had to price it because it broke the store, because i did not put any money into ow2 at that point and have the skin

One thing that ticked me off about the EDM Dva skin is that blizzard changes the LED lights on the mech so it only changes the leds with on color, but earlier it was multicolored changing LEDS so I was ticked to find out about them changing it

@@illegalpizza7285 the LEDs of DVas mech changed to more boring, look at the skin now and look at a video of the skin when it was first released in season 1. The LEDs look better in season 1 than it is now, blizzard basically downgraded the skin LEDs on the mech.

[@Vitalabyss]

I think all cosmetics should be earnable, without purchase, but also purchasable if you want to support the game. (Weekly challenge coins in OW2 should be 600/w not 60/w) And I do not think skin should be locked behind time or event exclusivity. (I missed out on the Bastion Lego skin because I was away for work during the event.) Sure, those skins should be special, but they should be rotated back into other events. A Blizzcon skin for example should come around for purchase or earnable for the next Blizzcon. Giving those who went a year to show off but not locking people out of maybe 1 skin that basically costs $300. A person who can drop $300 on /the game may play 20hrs a month whereas another might not be able to afford $30 but plays 200hrs a month. Why should the guy devoting his time not be able to access the cool skins? The game only exists so long as people are playing it.

[@kujikawathemeekmage3640]

No game gives that much premium currency for free at such a consistent rate tho

[@Vitalabyss]

@@kujikawathemeekmage3640 Well I can't name another game, that is not Blizzards, that charges such exorbitant rates for their digital cosmetics.

[@MeisterSchwabbo]

Holy hell, 600 per week is a dumb idea... they need to make money somehow... i would say a 100 coins per week or maybe 125 would be better.

[@yourbritishnarrator1148]

It's a free to play game so just no if the game cost money then they should do what drg did free bps but purchasable cosmetics too honestly drg does the bp system the best

The Medic skin was re-distributed as twitch drops at one point since I ended up getting the skin, the conductor skin as well. Pink Mercy is much more rare as a skin that benefited charity it will never return.

[@cosmicunicorn219]

Nothing will ever beat the cancer awareness mercy skin. Genuinely criminal to say the money is going towards the cancer foundation and when the foundation saids hey it’s okay to make it free to not only say not but then never show the skin in game ever again. That is the scummiest thing to do. Especially when there’s players who wanna support the cause or going through it themselves and want the skin to cheer themselves up wit their comfort character

With the widow skin there was also a glitch that gave it out to people in ow2. I am one of those. I have noire widow and I didn't start playing till 2019

[@Valentinobunny]

Overwatch 2 is kinda being dumb, I feel like if their gonna bring back a rare skin they should give the og owners a re-color so they can separate ogs and non ogs who have the skin, for example fortnite does this a lot.

[@DSJWIX]

I been playing since 2016 and have every single Blizzcon, weekly challenge, and time-exclusive skin. I personally don’t care if they bring them back, you can’t sell/trade them anyways so there is no monetary value and I have more pressing things in my life to worry about than virtual cosmetics.

[@GamerLord64]

I don't get why the bastion skin was bad you can easily get coins from weekly challenges

To answer the controversy question excluding Noire and Medic Brig. That's why ppl care about what other people do with their money cause it tells the seller that "This is okay do this. Idc how much you charge". Hence the abysmal prices. A side note: imo opinion the WoW skins of Genji and Symmetry are THE rariest skins of the 7 yrs I've played this game. I only met 2 players who have Genji's Wow skin and only 1 who has Symmetra's wow skin.

Wait WHAT?! I saw the aqua skin in the hero menu when I was considering the Fuschia skin, and literally didn't buy it as I was expecting the aqua one to go up for sale soon and I massively preferred it. I think the aqua one looks great - I had no idea it'd never be put on the store. Wild.

The mercy skin should only be obtainable for donating to the breast cancer charity. To just make it earnable would be in poor taste, but I do think they should do a second round for charity and to give other players a chance to donate that would be amazing!

[@simbadg13]

Yes exclusive skins should be a thing. I have a bunch of rare skins over the years like pink mercy and all the owl special skins like alien zarya. Honestly overwatch should have a trade market system like csgo/rocket league. Being able to trade your cosmetics and other stuff would be awesome. Cause the only way to get skins that will never return is to buy an account which is technically against terms of service. I highly doubt blizzard would notice or care though.

[@mingautumns4238]

I would absolutely love it if Blizzard added a trade system. I mean, I got this last Season’s Battle Pass just for the Lifeweaver victory pose but now I have a bunch of skins I don’t like/want. Before, I would say it would never happen, but maybe now that it’s F2P, there is a small chance of a trading system being implemented. Small chance though.

[@Linkiscool99]

Personally, I think there should never be exclusive skins what they should do it just you can get get the skin earlier then every body elce but it should be released into the shop and return every so often so everyone has the chance to get it same with the battle pass after a few seasons you should be able to pic what one you want so of you missed season 1 you can buy it but say like with skins from overwatch 1 that you can't get in overwatch 2 they should be released in overwatch 2 for the people who didn't or couldn't play overwatch 1

[@Brakzillaa]

Remember the peak days when you "won" or earned skins? Jeff Warned us, and look what happened. lol

[@VipersDragon]

I personally say exclusive skins is a stupid marketing design as at some point people who join the game much later will learn of them and learn that if they would've found this game earlier, they maybe could've gotten that skin. Sometimes, depending on the reasoning, they can work, but only with specific reasoning, and the ones that don't fit the criteria should be available at some point or another.

[@otamamon6042]

Just gonna say the gentle monster skin is really confusing, because some of the people who got the glasses and codes are people who don’t even play overwatch, like why not make it a giveaway or make it something where it’s not exclusive to popular people?

As in, i think it’s great that streamers got special skins but how come the skins that were limited edition in overwatch one (event weekly challenge skins) are just sold regularly when other stuff is never coming back? same with like the ESports skins like Zen’s and stuff. It made sense to come back at the end of OVW1 but not necessarily in OVW2. And even then I don’t have a giant problem with that as long as no other Esports or Overwatch League skins are locked and trapped behind not being able to buy them.
