also how breast cancer isn’t just a woman thing

Is he reaching? Maybe but he has a point unless breast cancer research doesn’t need any more funding. Personally, I want to see pink Mercy in every match.

Any chance this can be re-considered? The experimental card brought a lot of fun back to the game.

That said, is there any chance for Lego Bastion to come back? It’s one of the craziest skins in the game, and looks and sounds amazing. It’s definitely a fan favorite at least, but I’m wondering if legally it would be an issue.

I’m “pretty” sure that if we were in the old forums the dislike button would go crazy for this.

We are quite perplexed about this, do you have any idea what that means? :grimacing:

You’ve certainly lived up to your username.

only waman have booba therefore booba cancer only for waman 🫣

:sunglasses:. but i mean i see where people are coming from, i want as much as the next person but cmon. every event people are constantly saying “pink mercy? pink mercy?” when it was guaranteed never to come back. we all can only hope, but genuinely not sure it ever will.

The thing about “it is guaranteed that it will never come back” or you try well, nowhere have they said “that it will never come back”, selfish.

That would be dumb, since some people would assume it’s real and sit out the even because of it.

how is it selfish? don’t use words that literally mean nothing in the context. if it was to come back, it’d have already. mercy gets skins practically every event, im grateful enough. i’m fine with the skin never coming back. i wish it would, but again it would have already. people aren’t entitled to the skin because it fits their aesthetic or bc pretty pink. it was a one time event in ties with the breast cancer research place (excuse me lol i can’t think of the name).

also this. can’t really say i didn’t reference anything or they said it no where. dev, team, or just mod, regardless. i guarantee it’ll never be around.

In terms of event modes, yes.

These events have no highlight intros, voice lines, sprays, player icons from what it seems.
Just a recolor of old events.

Not taking any position here. I am just correcting on what was meant.

Can I please make a case for these Ashe sprays returning? I’m referring to this event and these sprays,

When the event happened, it was behind a Play Overwatch Free event which was the main focus. The sprays were more of an after thought and were not associated with a skin or anything of the sort. In my opinion, the event wasn’t advertised properly as most people who already owned the game did not pay attention to playing Overwatch for free for the days advertised. The event’s main drive was for new players to try out the game and thus, the push for the sprays for current players took a back seat.

I’ve actually just looked up the event and had a hard time finding any information about it as it wasn’t widely publicized. Most people nowadays aren’t even familiar with the event or sprays and often confuse it with the other Ashe events.

I found this reddit thread that was made while the event was ongoing that talked about how the event wasn’t properly advertised. Read the opener’s post in the thread below,

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/9yvtoe/you_can_get_3_ashe_sprays_for_watching_twitch/

Even through the years, the consensus was that this event was not advertised properly. I’m willing to bet most people are not familiar with it, much less participated. Today is a good opportunity to bring these sprays to light and ask for a chance to get them.

For reference, these are the Ashe sprays in question.
