Does anyone wish we got the fake fox girl look?

There was a fake fox girl leak not too long ago that was supposed to be the new hero. I personally like how that one looked more than this hero. I almost kinda feel sorry for Blizzard in a way. They have been working on this hero for so long only for a random person to come up with a better design that makes their look aweful by comparison. Of course maybe some of you disagree?

Specifically this.

Wasnā€™t that just a copy and paste from Paladins? I donā€™t play that game so Iā€™m just going off of what people said

Good question. Is the look iconic? First characters of OW2, this is the design style from here on out. This is the Tracer for OW2?

Sheā€™s got a unique silhouette, which is important. Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m a huge fan of the color choices, and she seems a little blocky for a fox? All in all, I like it better than the leak, but I could see why someone wouldnā€™t.

Now the voicelinesā€¦they kind of hurt my soul.

I thought it was copy and paste fromā€¦I think it was Final Fantasy?

Tiffie or whatever her name was, I donā€™t play FF so I donā€™t know all the anime waifu names.

Well, there is always room for skins.

Yeah, but the base skin is what will be used in cinematics, comics, and cutscenes.

Nah it was kinda ugly and bland lookingā€¦

Definitely wasnā€™t Tifa or Yuffie

The screenshot had white hair and heterochromia eyes

I thought it was the one with the giant shuriken-looking thing on their back?

I am actually really happy they went with her.

We finally have a new Kawaii character, that fit the OW esthetic.

I am not a fan of the fox mask, but I heard it is a traditionnal mask, hence her popularity in Japan right now.

Fair point. She will likely get some good skins.

Tbh The Blizzard design is more aesthetically pleasing but that fake one was just ā€œcoolerā€ even if much more cringe.

There is a huge disconnect between what blizzard thinks is cool and what people think is cool (and I donā€™t mean the fortnite kids because that is what they seems to be trying to appeal to with the new skins)

Seems like they wanted to make a cute character and then stopped half way and turned it into Tracer for some reason.

This is the one. Itā€™s a fanart made by Igor Correa before we knew what Kiriko looked like

Very nice Borderlands 2 style but definitely easy to see it doesnā€™t have the typical overwatch face

No i hate that style. Real look is fine, i only wished she looked slightly older but nonetheless she looks pretty good.

Nah, I personally like the official art more. Specifically the street-punk skin. Love the black jacket with roses.

She literally look like she got off of work from a kitsune themed restaurant. I liked the leak better.

We also donā€™t know what the 2023 Support is going to look like.

Either way though, I donā€™t really like what the leak showed. Iā€™m glad the hero didnā€™t look like that.

There are some Turning Red vibes.
