Why Are All The Remix Skins White?

Here they are if you haven’t seen them:

Like literally every single one is white. Not saying they look ugly, Reapers looks particularly nice because it’s an inverse of the original colour but in general recolours aren’t exactly the pinnacle of creativity. The fact that every single one of them (shown so far) is also the exact same colour just tells me the art team just couldn’t be bothered.

I like the idea of remixed skins and the events in general and when I read about it I was genuinely excited about the possibilities. But the execution is just abit meh, especially off the back the LNY only having 2 new skins in it. If you’re going to hype up “the most legendaries ever”, I’d expect abit more effort than just “make existing skins white”.

Its a very safe route to take for their first “remix set”

Also probably trying to avoid looking like existing OWL skin color schemes

Yeah. Even the recoloring is the bare minimum. I think only d.va has some sort of custom texture. Everything else is just solid color.

And we don’t even get unique weeklies anymore because they are just bringing back old ones.
Trust blizzard to spend 3 years doing the bare minimum with events and somehow managing to do even less effort.

They use white as the luxury color in OWL, so it kind of makes sense for base skins. I am not complaining. Most of them are very Hogchamp.

Reaper should have gotten this instead:

Lore related and looks good.

Genji, Rein and Dva’s skin look so off. And I just have a hard time believing thats one of Reins most used skins (could be my personal taste though) as either of his Eichenwalde skins or his crusader skin would be better candidates

That grinds my gears even more.

“Oh you logged in every event to get the weekly skins because that’s the only thing we’ve added for 3 years to keep you engaged. Well let me just take that away from you too”.

Laughs in Red Dead Online Overwatchers so spoiled.
Lol no seriously this is kinda weird.

I suspect each of the new events will have a color theme. First is white. Next may be red or blue. Maybe a black or purple.

RDO has received a major update sooner that OW has - Someone who also plays RDO.

Exactly my thoughts. This reminds me of last years Archives, where those legendary skins where all the same theme.

These are just copy paste skins. Nothing unique at all.

At least Overwatch still gets skins. They never finished the online story for RDO then sent out a newswire that refers to the last finished mission as the “finale”.
It’s not so bad over here in the grand scheme of things.

Anything but that, please

Idk seems like comparing apples to…apples

I mean . If Blizz cooked OW to the extent that Rockstar cooked that game, this forum would implode into another dimension. Caveat emptor, I suppose.

That recolour isn’t white so I don’t think they’d do it.

Reinhardt be looking like an Xbox 360.
