But why does this random white lady have THREE asian themed lunar new year skins…
Meanwhile the other ACTUAL asian characters?
Dva? 2
Genji? 1
Hanzo? 1
Mei? 1. SHE’S LITERALLY CHINESE. Idk if empress came out last lunar new year since it’s just labeled as a shop skin (Luna and Chang’e I’m 99% sure came out in the exact same event, they are just recolors of each other)
Kiriko? 0
Lifeweaver? 0
Like??? like bro she is from Switzerland… She’s not even apart of the same continent.

I will forever maintain that Europe is not a real continent. It is at best a subcontinent and should be considered part of Asia.

Well that’s not how that works but sure.

My guess: Mercy must be making huge profit numbers compared to other characters. Otherwise she would not get nearly as many cosmetic options.

Money talks and there’s no shortage of players willing to throw down for a new mercy skin

I’d like to point out that her new skin is Thai-inspired while Lifeweaver (an actual Thai) didn’t get anything.

Even then they have multiple other events they can release skins during. Or hell, that’s the whole point of an in game item store. They can release a new mercy skin literally whenever they want to!
Taking up an event skin during an asian (more specifically chinese) event, whilst all the asians in the game have less skins for said event is just so dumb.
I’ve heard some people say that Blizzard did a survey in Thailand and people voted for a Mercy skin,but I haven’t seen a source yet so idk.
Also,Mei has Luna + the recolor + Empress + one epic I forgot the name of.

What if we build a long cannal and cut europe off of asia? Just like how we cut panama in half
I’m counting the recolors as one skin. They came out at the exact same time (pretty sure during the first ever lunar new year event so literally year 1) and I ain’t counting epics. So 2. Somehow the actual chinese woman still has less than the random white lady

Not anymore… Microsoft just gutted the OW2 DEV and Art teams, so most of the people who used to create those skins are now gone. Only about 20% of the original OW2 staff remain to keep the game going. We’ll have to wait and see how this pans out.
Aren’t they separated more because of political and historical reasons?

You might as well lump Miko into the pile tbh
Also you know. Distance. Do you think Japan and England should be in the same continent?
Okie dokie
Im hoping she didn’t receive any skin in season 9 to compensate having 2 new skins in just one season.
2 new legendaries in 1 season is straight up ridiculous.
Chinese need Chinese Mercy it seems.
