8-Bit Retro season, No Bastion/Echo Skins?

General Discussion

Title, Im fricking tired of SIGMA, GENJI, Rein, Sombra, getting skins.

Bastion literally only has ONE (1) legendary BP skin to this day (RAMEN), the one from SEASON 9.

Echo has ONE (1) legendary BP skin, Victorian Doll from SEASON 7.

This was the PERFECT season to give Bastion, Echo and Orisa, Zen (the “robot” characters" to have 8-bit skins, but no, lets give them to Genji and Sombra and Rein again, cuz they surely lack skins overall.

GENJI TO THIS DAY HAS THREE (3) BP LEGENDARY SKINS, and duck, hes getting another one for the next season.

I already have his OW2 S1 Mythic skin, why would I bother using a NON-MYTHIC SKIN. ALSO I DONT EVEN LIKE TO PLAY GENJI, he ducks and Soldier has better performance.

That is so utterly cursed.

At least it is her best skin. She does not really need anymore.

The Reinhardt skin is peak. Bastion is no king.

Does he? What are those? Treize Khushrenada and CRT are the only ones I am aware of. I did not really get a lot of the early battle passes though, on account of them being pay to win and everything.

It changes his voice which is super lame.

I’m surprised they made a skin for Sombra regardless if it’s on brand.

They not going to be able to use it with the bans

She is getting a GI JOE skin as well. Or at least I believe that is supposed to be her. Well, her Uzi, anyways. It looks nothing like her specifically.

Ultrawatch, Royal Guard and Royal Swordman. Im seeing them right now on my Hero menu. I have completed all OW2 BPs. But tbh Ultrawatch shouldnt be considered a new skin, since its a recolor from his Sentai/Genjiman skins with just a new helmet, its scummy and its not the only time they did something like that (Junkrat)

just think of every hero as soldier 76 but g.i. joe did have some diverse heroes or archetypes

think…

ninja guy
mortocycle guy
wrestler guy
evil villian terrorist guys

or every american archetype back in the 80s. they even had hawt female soldiers like … uhh i forgot the names … scarlet? lol

I have no idea. Hanzo is apparently Storm Shadow which is Snake Eyes’ (Genji) brother in the lore. It’s a decent correlation. That is about the extent of my knowledge. I am probably going to rent the Snake Eyes movie to, um, get the rundown without reading the wiki. :sweat_smile:
