I’m just gonna say it

kiriko and mercy should not be getting nearly as many skins as they get nearly as frequently. i know that more popular heroes are probably going to receive more cosmetics cuz that brings in profit, and i don’t care omg this is ridiculous!

and i’m a pretty serious mercy main too. i’m tired of her getting skins back to back like spread them out at least there are some people who haven’t gotten good skins in months.

seriously though. why does kiriko keep. getting. skins.

Well, the good news is this problem resolves itself. Let’s say you bite your hand off. You can only do that one more time until that won’t be an issue any more!

But yeah, characters like Venture not getting a skin (besides one that was purchasable for a week) until S14 is pretty ridiculous.

Mei is another one who hasn’t gotten a good skin in ages, along with multiple other heroes in favor of more popular ones. Most of us know blizzard wants to make money, but they should still try to put out skins for every characters and not just leave some without anything new for an embarrassing amount of time.

Moving merch is the name of the customization game.

Those two Supports are the geese that keep laying golden eggs for ow 2 's profit

Especially after pink Mercy put the ow 2 sales in the top 10 on Steam it is a no-brainer.

They gonna run the popular skin buys into the ground.

It’s like asking why were the sorriest plain skins in this anniversary event were given away for free?

for now. The Kiriko-Mercy-Rein market can only go so far. Even diehard fans will eventually get bored and blizzard will eventually learn the hard way why did they used to give attention to every single character and not a few.

How to decide if you should buy a skin:

  • Do you play Overwatch a lot
  • Do you play the hero a lot
  • Do you like the skin more than all of the other skins you have for the hero
  • Will the enjoyment you gain from having the skin be worth the trade off for other potential uses of that money

Well, what would you like to buy instead?

Are what sorts of details would make those skins really desirable to buy?

lukewarm take. Most people are fed up with how skins are distributed. I’m a Kiriko stan and I am tired of seeing how much she gets. There will always be favorites in Hero based games who get some more cosmetics than others, but Blizzard takes it to the extreme.

You already answered this question above. She keeps getting them because people keep buying them because people want them. Money talks. If you don’t like them then don’t buy them. Blizzard is going to make skins for whatever sells and right now Kiriko sells.

I’m also frankly sick and tired of people complaining that other heroes get something. OMG stop it already! Advocate for what you want not against what others want. Tell us what heroes you DO want to get skins not which ones you DON’T for the love of everything holy.

4… SKINS… in ONE season…

thats GOT to be a record or SOMETHING…!!

no literally!! i need someone to stand trial NOW

i WILL topple their monopoly on the skins MYSELF if i have to i cannot handle one more skin for any of them please for the love of god please stop giving them skins.

a single legendary venture skin would be great for starters. seriously why did they start doing this “you get 4 blue skins and that’s it” on release??? it’s so……dystopian

NO!!! I LOVE COMPLAINING!!!

What sort of themes would be good for a Venture skin?

When was the last time Hanzo or Genji got a good skin? it’s been over 2+ years.

Any skin that has to do with underground / rocks / caves.

A coal miner skin would be cool! Or construction worker bc the drill!

Because apparently kiriko mains have money for days to keep buying hundreds of dollars worth of skins per year.
