Mercy Lifeguard Skin is overpriced and poor quality

The quality of this skin is not great, it’s a simple recolour. The bundle is also worth more than any other bundle released this season. This should not be a legendary skin at all, it should be epic and priced as such.

Legendary skins should come with voice line changes, additional audio queues etc similar to the Rein Conductor, Pink Mercy skin etc. It’s laughable they want 2600 coins for this bundle, being 3400 full price. You can buy a AAA game with that.

Really need to quit it with the simple recolours and calling it a legendary. Even the sprays are low effort and quality crap.

I have no problem buying skins because I have many, but yes WTF is with these skin prices.

I am done buying anything but my tri-monthly battlepass. If I can buy a skin with the currency from the pass that is fine, but they lost me with their greedy prices in the shop.

If someone has the $ to buy extra skins that’s totally cool and I like looking at all ya’lls’ skins, but I’m done buying them extra for me and my kid.

Except very few Legendary skins even do this. It’s legendary quality when compared to other legendaries. Not sure where you got the idea that it isn’t.

The price is stupidly high, I agree. But these have been the standard prices since launch, so not sure why you’re at all surprised. Any bundle that comes with a skin and an emote/highlight has always been more expensive than a bundle that just has a skin with either sprays and profile icons or voicelines.

Anyway, unlikely they’re gonna change anything about their pricing, especially seeing that I might have played only 10 matches yesterday and I saw at least 6 different Mercy’s with the skin. People have paid. People are paying. People will continue to pay for skins. And as a result, the prices you see now are very likely going to be the prices you continue to see into the future.

Literally from WHAT!?!? This skin doesn’t look like any other skin that she already has, it’s unique and very well made imo (except maybe her golden weapons, they often suck)

Ever the weapon charm is adorable!

If you think this skin is a lazy recolor wait til you see Kiriko’s OPM colab skin.

Meh. I barely play Mercy and have her rare Camo Skin. Its not Pink Mercy, but its MY rare Mercy skin.

It’ll always hold more value for its rarity than some overhyped overpriced money grabbing skin.

Meh skin for someone who doesn’t main mercy so I’ll stick with All Stars. Highlight intro kinda worthless since I can’t remember the last time Mercy got a POTG.

Yeah, something’s off with her body forms. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is exactly but it’s there.

A recolour from what skin exactly ?

Yeah the pricing is a problem since the F2P update. I used to play Mercy a lot when the game first got released (in my top 3 support heroes) but 2600 is a lot and I don’t like the quality of the skin overall. I don’t think I would equip it at any time (and I haven’t played Mercy outside of Mystery heroes since last October).

Holy based

Still prefer Dr Ziegler skin, but the game is on the highlight intro 100%

Btw I have some bad news for you. TheRein Conductor skin is one of the 21 vaulted OW1 loot box skins in the game. These 21 skins shows up 1 after 1 as Amazon Prime and PS+ FOMOs now since OW2 season 2.

Business my friend, business.

You’re wrong on everything except the price. It is not a recolor of any previous Mercy skin. It is entirely a new, unique design that I think was based off a fan made Lifeguard Mercy skin years ago and a concept that has been very requested by Mercy players. It also comes with a POTG intro that is themed off the skin itself. It absolutely is legendary quality. The only part that isn’t so great about the bundle is the spray.

The price could’ve been much cheaper. It would’ve been better if this skin were earnable just from playing the game as a throwback to OW 1 Summer Games and how you could earn the skins just by playing. The problem is OW 2 is basically just a monetization update for the game so skins like this are highly incentivized to be sold under the new system. Its an easy cash grab, and capitalism is gonna capitalism. I bet they even wish they would’ve saved Mermaid Symmetra for OW 2 so they could’ve easily sold that one for $25 also. In fact is it even in the shop right now?
