Literally the only female skins that show off a decent amount of skin are Goddess Sym and bikini Widow.
There seems to be a lot of fear around giving heroes “sexy” skins. I noticed with Tulum Sombra and the new Waveracer D.va almost look censored in a way. Like a JRPG getting some characters clothed up for the imminent Western release cause of different laws.
Being Summer Games next week, we should see more heroes getting skins with more thigh or midriff.
I don’t think offending anyone is a problem with LoL getting away with it for years.
Overwatch is played by many countries. Even though very few would bat an eye at seeing skin in America, some cultures around the world it isn’t proper to show skin in public.
Hmmm well if you were on the old forums, you should have seen the outcry of threads from people after seeing the SG Widowmaker skin. So many Dva people were mad beyond belief because:
She didn’t get a new skin.
It wasn’t in some type of bikini/skin wear.
Oh boy, then it spread. More creepy post started happening demanding more characters showing skins. It was odd.
It’s not that there’s only 2 “skimpy” skins, its the fact that so few heros actually have fun skins.
Pharah’s is bulky military armor.
Then EVERYONES excuse is that if she did get a fin skin, it would somehow break her, which is BS.
Literally look at her Security Chief skin, as it shows any armor aspect on her is different from her body.
Put her in a one-piece, give her floaties where her Barrage missiles come from on her thighs and shoulders, and then surfboard wings.
It’s not that hard folks.
“Float-ora systems online.”
“Surfing the friendly waves.”
“Sunshine rains from above.”
THATS what irks me, people being nay-sayers and looking the other way when I give a detailed idea that explains the most feared problem, that it would somehow break her, her model, her hitbox, or lore.
Meanwhile, Dragon Sym. Bikini Widow. Grillmaster 76. Waverider Dva now.
I’m glad we’re getting bikini and summerwear skins, especially the diversity of swimwear, but for Christ sake put it on a hero who needs it, not on Dva who has 4+ fun skins.
Kids are also sensual creatures too it doesn’t just turn on from the moment they hit puberty you know… Its okay if little johnny feels a little weird looking at his favorite female overwatch characters we all started somewhere.
I never let my kids play outside when it’s warm, what would happen to their fragile little minds if they saw someone wearing short sleeves, or even worse slippers without socks!
Yeah I can see how you’d get “interested” in that (i’m not saying it in a bad way). To be honest, why do we need “sexy skins”. I don’t understand why this should be a thing. Personally, I think it was a great call from Blizzard to make Cote De Azure purple so the men don’t get to attracted.
