Brigitte cardboard skin visual bug: flail extends behind her

I noticed this in the practice range while my sister was demonstrating Brig’s cardboard skin: it looked like her flail was stretching out far behind her when using both her regular melee and whip shot.

A couple of screenshots I took of the bug from my POV-

It definitely appears to be an issue with that specific skin; here’s a pic from the same session for reference, featuring a different skin (azure drake) which is working as intended-

This is a known thing and I’m not sure why they didn’t fix it in the last hotfix. It’s not just that skin, but it happens a lot with it. I imagine you didn’t see it when swapping to another skin because reloading (even with a different skin) fixed the issue.

I experienced it in a match once with the OW Champions Series Home skin. It also shows up in replays. No clue why it happens, but it’s purely a visual thing. You still hit your whipshots and flails, but it feels weird seeing and hearing the impact but no mace head.
