Sadly, this is probably right. As much as I would like certain heroes getting legendary skins, I wouldn't want them to make them unless the design is on point, and designs can't be on point if your forced to make them.
Fore real, though.
Lmao the Bastion switched right after I did, so...I guess I did?

That Zen skin, looks like I'll be back playing for that money grind.
After the Christmas event I don't trust these loot boxes to actually get me anything I want.

Theres no way blizz are going to do religious themed skins. Thats the worst decision ever.
You mean McCree? If anything, he's probably up next for a new Legendary skin soon.

We were getting creamed before then. After the switch we held for like 5 minutes.
That is an outsized reaction to a simple idea. Blizz is about diversity and this is just one way to show that if they choose.
Yup, everytime i see a bastion, i think gameover
I would be down with that. At least that will check off another hero that needs an origins skin.
Aren't Syms legendaries already kind of bordering?
They can do it if they want to offend a ton of muslims and create a pr shitstorm.

Ahhhhhhh, a mask. I did find it weird that Roadhog would straight-up be a pig. Nice.
Why is a skin offensive?
I don't think they will touch the issue of creating a skin of what they think Muhammad looks like. That is just asking for trouble. I was thinking of traditional islamic clothing which I assume is what other people had in mind as well.
I would say its because Islam is very strict in what is ok to be depicted and what is not. I don't think Blizzard would go near that.

i'm dying! LOL
The last minute is the best lmao
I ordered wave 1 and mine hasn't shipped yethttp://i.imgur.com/1ZwduRF.png?1
Pleasant surprise, I didn't think this would ship until much later in the year
Uhh, symmetra. Literally a Hindu god
Some of them took offense to that too.
Mercy being an angel is hardly religious. Angels have been in pop culture for a long time. Please guys come on, I don't know how its controversial to think Blizzard wouldn't touch an Islamic skin.
Well you said religious not specifically muslim at first, but to think blizzard couldn't add a hijab or abaya lets say is not out of the question. Head coverings for women for religious or cultural reasons are not solely the domain of the muslim world. A burqua or niqab probably not.

Zenyatta's Tang Sanzang skin. (Sun Wukong's Buddhism master)
Winston's Sun Wukong skin. (The monkey king)
Roadhog's Zhu Bajie skin. (The pig monster, another apprentice of Tang Sanzang)
Reinhardt's Sha Heshang skin. (The river monster, yet another apprentice of Tang Sanzang)
i honestly don't understand why Rein STAYS getting these cool, transformer-looking skins yet D.Va's meka for this event looks like a pagoda, or something?
anyway, in yet ANOTHER event where another character is the star...Zenyatta's skin looks the coolest/best of the lot, w/ Rein coming in a close-ass second.

"Wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death". Amazing.
Just fell to 2087. Had two amazing rounds on Nepal where we stomped, and we lost a player as the third round started. Somehow managed to capture and hold to 99% but the numbers were just against us in a 6v5. It's so incredibly frustrating to be penalized when people leave the game. /deadhorse

Thinking about the way these 4 are lined up while I was at work. The fact that they're all Journey To The West themed where as Mei and DVa aren't.
Is this possibly the next co-op brawl?

But Nutcracker looks better than this. This Zen skin is probably Epic.

why are there so many winston skins lol
There have only been 2? He only got a new skin in December. Never got an epic or legendary before that.
Christ, I have such an identity crisis with Reinhardt and his awesome skins.
- Do I want to be Stonehardt?
- How about Balderich?
- Maybe have a flaming blue head?
- But then again, there's also that cool jet black mecha skin for him....
- And then I could be Balderich, but covered in moss and vines.
- But would I want to be a piece of Chinese folklore instead?
Is it really intended to be a hijab? If so, doesn't the Captain Amari skin defeat the purpose since she's not wearing it?
This would obviously lead to even more abuse and bullying. I've made mistakes, people make mistakes, and even you probably make mistakes. It's probably best all around to let people try to learn and not get too upset about it.
Why not? HIs whole image lends itself to playing around with various skins.
