Firstly, I think the pink skin is one of Mercy’s ugliest skins and so I have little motivation to get it or use it. So I’m not personally bias on that front.
The door swings both ways on this. I think at a certain point it sounds like entitlement from the people who have a problem with other people having a skin. Like, what’s the big deal? It’s potentially more money for a charity and enjoyment for a player with the downside of… what??
“Exclusivity”???
I have never once looked on in dribbling envy at another persons skin. There are a maximum of two Mercys in a match. You and potentially your opponents Mercy. Do you really give a if the other Mercy also has the pink skin? If you do, then from my perspective that’s just kind of pathetic.
I have the All-Stars Mercy skin which is imo one of her best looking skins. I use it because it looks good. I’ve got zero problem with another player having that skin. In fact I’m happy for them.
On top of all this there’s that capitalism thing that can be used to save lives and whatnot. My therapist claims that human lives are one of the most valuable things in this world so I presume that lives outweigh this weird desire of people to be “exclusive”…
I guess having breast cancer makes you pretty exclusive…
From what I can tell, not everyone has a problem with it coming back. Me included, but it should be fair that it comes along with the same charity event for the same price. Not for free in a lootbox, and definitely not cheaper than originally.
OP doesn’t even care about the charity, which in itself is a poor reason to bring it back.
No one’s donating to BCRF just because. But if they rerelease the Pink Mercy Skin and send the proceeds back to BCRF, they’ll be able to donate a ton of money (maybe even more than the original) with very little effort.
TBH, gating the best skins behind time limits seems to be unnecessarily limiting. Just having them available for a limited time each year, like all the lootbox/credit available skins would be acceptable to most - even a price hike mechanism after the initial release would do as much to spur initial sales.
As an owner of the Brig GOAT skin - the best skin in the game next to Pink Mercy… it wouldn’t hurt to see more players use her eventually.
Certainly, one could make the argument that having a recurring donation to these charities is more helpful than a one off!
If they bring it back, it should be for charity purposes only. And they should definitely look into other charity-based skins as well. In the meantime, one is always welcomed to simply donate as that is the purpose behind the charity-based skin to begin with - - to help people suffering from breast cancer, not so you can feel all pretty in pink or whatever.
They would have to partner with the same charity organization.
We didn’t just pay them, we donated to charity and got it as a “thank you for donating” gift.
So you would only donate if you got a reward.
first of all “I don’t know care”, idk means I don’t know.
second of all, it’s charity.
Are devs unfair to new players because they can’t get top 500 season 2, when they are platinum in season 21?
Pink Mercy is not even the greatest skin. I don’t even use it, and I’m proud that I donated.
It’s not. I use other skins than that for Mercy.
If it does come back, it probably should be “donate 15 dollars for this new skin, but if you go the extra mile and donate 30, you get the previous charity skin as well”.
It’s freaking cancer. the way that “the free market” would have solved it, would be human experimentation.
because these things can cause major damage! Have you not heard of Thalidomide? this medicine was sold as something to help morning sickness in pregnant women, but due to lack of testing, thousands of babies were born with defects!
It’s really grinding on my gears how many people are saying it ain’t coming back so I’m posting it here for those who didn’t see it: pink mercy skin seems to be coming back on this anniversary as the first mythic skin. Go look it up if you don’t believe me, it was accidentally leaked on the Brazilian twitter or something and people took pictures of it.
