One character that the Overwatch 2 team really wanted to give a skin in the new LE SSERAFIM collab, which the player base might be devastated to learn isn’t happening, was Roadhog. Rogers revealed that the team wanted a Roadhog LE SSERAFIM skin to go along with the Junkrat one that was a part of the first wave, but in the end, Roadhog’s own musical preferences won out.
“We really get into it when we think about what skin suits a character,” Rogers said. “We actually think about what the actual character would do. And maybe Roadhog is not as into [K-Pop music] as we might think. But it was a funny thought that came by during this process, because since we had done one from Junkrat. But ultimately… we’re not sure what music he’s into yet, but maybe it’s not this.”
Nah y’all just being cowards. We need Kpop Roadhog, not a second Dva skin. #ReleaseTheRoadhogSkin
So true. She only has, what, 5-10 amazing skins. I feel like the skin rotation should be Rein, DVa, Mercy and Kiriko each get an amazing skin every season. Then, maybe 2-3 other characters (excluding Sym and Venture) should get a skin. Finally, if literally no other skins can be given to other characters and only bad designs are left, Sym or Venture (never both) can have one every tenth season.
On topic, agree with the OP. And give Hog an emote while you’re at it. Maybe with some bouncy physics so we can appreciate the tidal motion of his girth while he dances.
I’m glad they’re thinking about characterization when they design skins… I guess. Not sure why Roadhog couldn’t like K-Pop just enough to match with his buddy, though.
Idk, illari or mercy don’t strike me as the type to listen to k-pop either, but i guess it’s overruled when “serafim picked the characters who would receive skins”.
