Getting a $40 skin for free is crazy, but I'll absolutely take it! A skin I actually really wanted too!

This also explains why Mei receives some discrimination when promoting a collaboration. Last season he had a skin that was part of the Doki Doki pack, and at no time did they show her in the advertisement and only used the thinnest girls.

They also didn't use her in previous seasons' advertising even though she also received themed skins in the battle passes, but Juno and Kiriko did appear all the time.

I understand that in Asian countries there is a lot of discrimination against obese people, but Mei is not a large enough character to receive that treatment.

Kawaii girls get schoolgirl skin with skirt

If you look at Doki skins, Blizzard gives the skins to slim body figure, pale skin color female characters only. They choose Widow over Symmetra when Symmetra literally shoots laser beam which is one of magical girls' attack move.

Blizzard knows the Internet is lowkey racist that dark skin color is not seen as a form of beauty in some countries, meanwhile gooners mostly attract towards slim body figure, pale skin color females. Some people rather choose 'less dark' females (e.g. Sombra, Illari, Ana, Pharah) over darker ones (e.g. Symmetra, Sojourn).

it’s to the point people (me included) are just calling it racist.

Outside Overwatch, black females are mostly portrayed negatively in media where they are loud, rude & overweight unless they serve in military that they're more disciplined and physically fit. When black females are too disciplined, people find them boring as emotionless robots. In turn, Caucasian girls are mostly portrayed as hot or elegant (or both); Asian girls are mostly portrayed as cute and some know martial arts; some end up falling in love with Caucasian male protagonists, etc.

Blizzard should have added some thigh muscles on Brig. They probably made Brig slim on purpose in order to fit well with the rest of the group, just like they make Widow's skin color normal instead of blue.

If Brig weren't chosen to get the skin due to not being slim, Blizzard would probably pass the skin to Ashe or Mercy because Ashe & Mercy are slim white women, but Ashe already had a BP skin (Demon Rocker); Mercy already had two shop skins (Gundam collab & Royal Princess) in Dokiwatch season.

I don't disagree that Blizzard does fucked up stuff and ignores certain heroes in favor for other ones and the motivations aren't good. Just to be clear. I completely understand where you're coming from. I just wanted to say, Sym technically did get a Doki skin, and I know because I use it. But to be fair also, it was a twitch-drop-only skin, and a recolor of the Ice Skater skin. But I love it. The weapon is pink and has a sparkly animation. She has beautiful two toned pink and blue hair. I really like it, even being a recolor. They did the same with Mei in Doki, they took her ice cream skin from OW1 and recolored it. I think it's understandable to be mad about recolors of OW1 in the shop costing money. But Syms was free. So I think saying she didn't get a skin when she did and it was free is a little misleading.

God forbid nuance on reddit tho. Gonna get downvoted for saying the truth. Blizzard consistently making gooner racist money grubbing decisions isn't suddenly untrue just because she does have a Doki skin. I've obviously not said that. Just saying she does have a skin and it's pretty.

Blizzard lets Illari wear a skirt (e.g. Sophomore) or dress cute (e.g. Cat girl), but not Sojourn.

Like yeah I know that there's a baggage of Black women on the West historically not being allowed to be feminine because of racism but I feel like a better solution to this would be to add a second black lady hero who's a baddie rather than forcing Sojourn into skins that don't fit her. Funky Sojourn would rock if she got that same fancy bell bottom pants collared shirt and small from Baptiste and Doomfist got

She's literally a year older thanMoira and Moira who also gets 0 sexy or cute ones. That's the most apt and fair comparison, and it proves how full of shit you're point is.

Sombra and Ilari are dark skinned and have tons of cute skins, they are also not 51 years old.

Reinhardt is old, he gets no sexy skins, same with Ana.

Like you said, she's the fucking LEADER of overwatch. She is a very serious character, so is soldier, he has like one goofy one with grillmaster and it certainly isn't cute. Saying Reaper valentines skin is "cute" not the same as doki cute, it's a false comparison.

Lastly, her ass is probably the nicest in the game and she always has tight pants on.

Yesterday I got my pity system legendary and it was just a regular skin you could buy for the old grey overwatch coins :( I wish they took them out of the lootboxes so that if you get a legendary (which is already rare enough in the first place), then it would at least be a shop skin or old battle pass skin or whatever. Waiting for so long just to get a basic legendary almost feels worse than not getting any legendary at all...

yes, it's 2 skins for $40 (plus BP, tier skips, and 2000 coins). there are no $40 skins, but there is a bundle that costs $40 which includes two skins and enough currency for a third one (or 2 bps) and the $10 battle pass.

there are issues with the bundle, but it is still a bundle that has several items, so my original point stands: there are no $40 skins in the game, only bundles cost $40 or more and they include several skins or other items that have a real money price attached to them outside the bundle.

Yeah when the only consistent way to get something is to buy it in a bundle I think it's as reasonable as not to call it a $40 skin. If someone doesn't want the other stuff, but wanted the skin, it's effectively a $40 skin to that person.

The value of any item becomes pretty abstract when it's exclusively bundled, which is why it's done obviously

22 hours ago
Shashara
:Master: :Ana: :Master:

i disagree because you still get 2k coins which is enough for another skin so technically you are still getting the skin for $20, because if you're the kind of a person who will spend $40 on a bundle to get a single skin, i'm sure that's not going to be the last skin you'll ever buy & you will therefore get full value out of the 2k coins that you get, when you buy another skin with those coins.

17 hours ago
Myrsta
hampter

That's a fair assessment of its value (to you). But when you say people will get value out of the coins, it's a totally subjective thing.

I personally don't really buy coins; I'd never buy them separately, so it doesn't affect the equation much for me. I know most people wouldn't buy tier skips separately either.

The trick is getting people to spend more than they would otherwise, because the value is confused by the exclusive/bundling. In that way the skin is worth more than a $20 skin to Blizzard. To customers the value is deliberately less clear, imo calling out this practice as a "$40 skin" should be the norm though.

I'll never understand this obsession on this sub with disparaging the Ultimate Battle Pass bundle's value in the most unfavorable language and terms.

It's 20$ worth of shop coins plus it comes with your premium Battlepass which is its own crazy good value for an additional 10$ and then the two legendary skins cover the remaining 10$ value (so 5$ each) for the full 40$ package. I don't see how that's not great value in this game nor do I understand why people would want to spend 19$ worth of shop coins to get any one of the UBP's set of legendary skins on their own when you get more shop coins just getting the bundle plus your battlepass and both the skins.

People that paid 40$ for the Ultimate Battlepass didn't only receive this skin so it's disingenuous to act like it's was 40$ when it really was more like 5$ on its own.

1 day ago
Shashara
:Master: :Ana: :Master:

the problem with it is that if you've already bought the BP it's still $40 (so no discount despite owning one of the main items), and if you don't need bp tier skips that's also zero value. i finish battle passes easily without tier skips and often the seasonal bundle that costs $10 for a skin + bp is nice as well, but if i buy that one i still have to pay $40 for the ultimate bundle.

the value is fine on surface level, but it's actually a pretty shitty bundle in the end for a lot of people.

A season is a little over 2 months. 9-10 weeks, 2 hours a week, 20 hours without winning a substantial amount (for weeklies), only playing quickplay, and not having the premium battlepass is not going to cut it, I strongly disbelieve that.

I just opened a legendary loot box tonight and got the Operative Oxton skin, which I saw was just put back into a shop bundle today. I got a kick out of that.

I've gotten a few skins that I wanted but didn't pay for, but the most surprising things I've gotten was 2 of the 3 hard light skins 2 boxes (I can't remember which ones). I got Reaper one first and then Mercy's like a week or two later. Not expensive but I was surprised nonetheless.

$40? You sure about that? Maybe it was in some $40 bundle, but doubt it was the skin itself.

It's still fine for blizzard tho because the people who would actually buy the $40 skin wouldn't wait to get it in a lot box anyway.

They should let us customize our character's hairstyle and make-up - this will probably force me to buy a really nice skin. some hair dye options, too

In Brazil, the price of skins in Overwatch is absurdly expensive, and I don’t quite understand why. Just to give you an idea, the 4,000 coins + 500 bonus coins package costs around R$250 here. As a price comparison, The Witcher 3 a highly acclaimed game in Brazil costs R$125 (Right now it's costing 26 because of a Steam promotion) I understand that Overwatch isn’t very popular in Brazil, but this price is just absurd. I buy skins in Dead by Daylight for R$30, in Overwatch the only way I get skins is through loot boxes

I’m not sure what it is, I guess maybe loot boxes opening at the end of every season or something, but I’ve gotten so many random legendary skins that just pop up on my heroes one day. Rose majesty, rainy day, the new princess one, crimson knight. And it happens for other characters too, I just got nocturna for dva, I’ve never even seen that skin before lol

What’s crazy is that you actually think that skin is worth $40 and shouldn’t already be free.

Props to u but this is why the value of skins has degraded so much. It used to be you had to spend a shit ton of money to acquire an account with the super limited skin on it which broke blizzard’s TOS, or you were actually around for the events the skins came from, which doesn’t have any meaning anymore since now it’s a gacha scam system fucking over everyone who got the skin originally. Either way not great for the general customer, like myself who spends $40 every season on the ultimate battlepass for the “exclusive” skins that are only supposed to come in the bundle. Same with all the previous event skins and items. They added sigmas maestro skin and mercy’s Dr Ziegler skin to the lootboxes when they haven’t been available for years beforehand. Might bring traction to new players who were aware of the skins but weren’t around for the events and missed out and were probably like “oh I can be a wannabe og” type of thing, but for the people who spent extra money not to even get something in response like as an apology… that annoys me. I like the idea that Fortnite had with the skull trooper skin, where they gave a different color effect for og players who got the skin when it debuted. Nothing feels special anymore with overwatch tho, and anything below metal ranks is low elo hell, and you don’t get out of it without team play. Kinda feels stale tbh, its not fun when there’s no cooperation and the devs make it obvious that they’ve become blinded by corporate greed. It’s not a video game company who cares about the player base anymore, it’s a money scheme and they’re sacrificing quality left and right for a bigger profit.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a skin (or anything) that I actually wanted from a lootbox.

Something that should've happened seasons ago. How happy are you right now? And mega-Blizz is out $40, sure. But the investment in your happiness, which = you keep playing, you're satisfied with the game, promote it positively, and may spend a little here and there down the line.

Like, I don't get how the F2P with currency drought model was tolerated for so long. This is awesome! And should be what these games are about! Congrats on the amazing skin, and obtaining it through these means. Good job to Blizz for making it this, too!

It was exclusive to a season bundle that cost 40ish USD. It obviously had more than just one skin but that was the only way you could get this skin so yeah, it was only obtainable for 40 dollars. Now though it's in the lootbox pools
