What happened to the recolored reaper and mercy skins?

Wasn’t there going to be a recolor of the luchador reaper and mercy royal knight skins?? Or was it another mercy skin?? I can’t remember anymore…

But wasn’t there going to be recolors of those skins?? I haven’t seen anything about this yet, when was this even gonna happen?

Very good question .

Maybe they rethunk the idea when they realized that one of the recolors for the black/gold reaper skin would be a…black/gold…Seoul…skin

Honestly who knows

Yeah because now with ow2 on it’s way and also ow1 apparently is closing it’s servers on oct 2:

h ttps://dotesports.com/overwatch/news/overwatch-1-will-officially-end-its-services-on-oct-2-according-to-blizzard?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dotnp

i wonder how we will get our hands on these?? I don’t keep up with overwatch league stuff so i have no clue if this has been talked about like at all yet? Because it seems like no official post have been made.

Do we already know what team colors the skin will have?? Because yeah it would be a total letdown if it’s almost the same colors…But what about the mercy skin tho?

I’m literally so confused.

It was supposed to be the winners of the tournament would get the recolors….one was Seoul…and the other was gladiators I believe (purple)

Oh okay so it was already known then, but if the winners have already been confirmed why haven’t owl or blizzard been posting anything about it yet?

It’s so annoying when stuff like this doesn’t get talked about to confirm if it’s gonna happen or not, but it’s just the same with stuff in the actual game and not just owl content…They should literally start opening their mouths and talk about it.

Sure i might not be THAT interested in the recolors (many mercy honestly…) but it would be nice if they could come out with a statement saying that it’s happening OR not…

Mercy btw would also be purple (if memory serves)….only one winner for that tournament

Current Genji would be red (Shanghai) and blue (Dallas)

Just like that June experimental that was taken down to be ‘fixed.’

I don’t think the skins are coming lol

Maybe they’ll be in OW2 idk

That would be a bummer, not a huge one but i was actually looking forwards to it…

Yeah i mean it has to be in ow2 since the servers will close for ow1 on oct.2.

They might do a collection for each of the tournament winner skins at the end of the year before the final or after its finished. That would make the most sense.

Otherwise yeah, I dont see them coming.

Last season they had the Vault opening during the playoffs/grand finals - previous years had MVP and/or championship skins. I’d expect that this time we’ll have the recoloured skins - which will be sometime in November.

I keep forgetting they’re closing on the second. That’s two days where absolutely nobody can play Overwatch. So weird to think about…

I literally only found out about it not so long ago today that this was happening lol :laughing: but yeah it really is weird, so it’s best to cherish the last momenrs you can with ow1 before it’s all gone.

But knowing that it’s just 2 days until ow2 comes out after that i don’t mind waiting, i just opened up overwatch to play my last comp placements and to get my last comp points.

One of the questions in the FAQ talked a bit about this in the briefest terms possible.

Where can I use my Overwatch League Tokens?

There will be an Overwatch League tab in the shop where you can redeem your OWL Tokens.

When will these two recolours land? Will we get OW2 versions of team colour skins? Dunno. But when/if they come out, it looks like they’ll be available the normal way.

Woooo nice! Who are you getting the gold for to finish off OW1? I was thinking for me, probably Genji cause idk why not

Oh i already got all 32 golden weapons haha so i’m all set to start working on the new heroes once ow2 comes out and you can play comp :grin:

At least if golden weapons is still a thing…

Soon TM… in 2023 posible.

All 32?? Omg that’s impressive I only have 14 I think (?)

And yes they will be dw because we saw JunkerQueen’s gold weapons in the gallery during the beta so you’ll have something to spend the points on

Yeah and it only took me 5 years since you also need to keep in mind that i’m a gold player in all roles except in tank where i’m plat. So i have to say that i’m pretty impressed with myself lol that i could get all 32 by getting 15 comp points plus a few more from plat :rofl: it’s been tough ngl lol.

Oh yeah you’re right lol :laughing: i’m honestly torn on who i should get once i have 3k haha i did enjoy playing junkerqueen so maybe her :grin:
