Tracer Lightning Skin is fine

Saw skin reveal of Tracer epic skin yesterday on Twitter, but replies to Overwatch’s tweet kinda made me disappointed to be part of Overwatch community.

Why so much hate on one skin?
Disliking hair or outift recolor? Just don’t buy/use it. Problem solved.

I personally like the skin, it looks awesome and honestly all this hate on it made me like this skin even more.

I still made some hair recolor ideas that I came up with (to check out how it looks with different hair colors)
Forum doesn’t allow me to post links or images, if anyone can help out with that, that would be awesome

In other words, I think, Blizzard did good job on skin and they shouldn’t change anything about skin.
Fans dislike it now, but they gonna get used to it and if they still will dislike it, it’s gonna be somewhat unique for those who actually like it and will use it including myself.

I’m fine with the hair, I think it’s a cool style, but it just looks off. It’s like when your friend gets a haircut and the group is like “this style doesn’t suit you, you looked better with the other one.”

I really dig the brown and blonde ones compliments the skin well cuz of the whole “black and yellow” scheme, It looks good from that angle but from the front the do still looks kinda weird. Could just be how the pose stretches her face?

I dig the non-feminine look. I wouldn’t dream of not admitting that it isn’t very divisive though.
But it’s just a skin, a piece of artwork. People are allowed to have opinions and discuss these things.

Watched the video of skin preview few more times.
I think, hairline might be a bit off and it makes it look weird.
I can make front view of brown and blonde version, if needed

Would be cool to see, I think even just making it a darker colour could help frame it better, but yeah it does seem like the hairline is the problem. Thanks for your effort!

Some of us have waited a year for a new Tracer skin. Of course we would be disappointed when we saw that thing. I m glad for people who enjoy it, but for me that style doesn’t suit Tracer, and something looks off and out of place from artistic stand point.

Is that young Zarya before she started lfting weights? :smiley: Or just some random femi…WW2 axis faction member? :smiley:

She looks like the Chad meme. Or Ryuji from Persona 5

Not good as side view, but whatever

And yeah, looks like hairline is problem, lol.
Maybe hair needs fix after all, not huge one though.
I believe, changing it from this mohawk looking hair to faux hawk hairstyle could do the job. Even though both hairstyles look quite same haha

I think it still looks better, I’d love it if they changed it to this. Another factor could be the pose? Maybe it morphs her face weirdly, idk. Thanks again for doing this!

this. to me it looks like shes wearing a toupee and half of it is blowing in the wind like a cartoon.

I was pretty indifferent to it at first too, wanted it since I am slowly getting everything for Tracer in the game (WoW Banners and OWL skins being all I need) but the hate it’s getting makes me love it.

I would like to see brown and blonde version too.
And yeah, it could be pose that makes hair look weird as well.
I guess we will have better look on it, when event starts.
Also no problem. I’m having fun doing these recolors haha

We share the same analogy.

She looks like she’s going to assault a perverted gym teacher…
