Why does Zarya have zero good skins?

General Discussion

I mean aside from Barbarian and Alien, there is nothing good at all.

Looking at the heroes of the storm skins she has a few good ones out there. Zarya needs a little love from the devs here for once.

The skin I’m currently using is Einherjar. And it is from a Halloween event 2021…she has a shop skin called Ice that looks alright. But you are right there is very few good looking skins for her.

And that goes for basically all heroes if you remove all OW1 skins!

What do people have against Polyanitsa? I think that’s better than Alien and certainly better than Barbarian. Workout’s good, too.

Xuanwu and Cyberian are good skins. The medal for worst skins clearly goes to Lifeweaver.

I still equips the Workout skin from the Archives. It’s one of the best Zarya skin imo (along with the Summer Games weightlifting skins).

Barbarian is cool if you like the Conan movies! It was one of my favorites in OW1!

What’s wrong with Totally 80’s? That’s an AWESOME SKIN.

Cleric is his one and only good skin.

I like the snowboarder one. It’s got a bear hat!

That statement used to be true in 2017 though

I’m not a fan of the skimpy barbarian look meself and I don’t like wielding a dead cow, but if nothing else - the Lego hair.

Snowboarder would be so much better if it didn’t have that weird bear tail. I hate knowing that it’s there and I can’t un-know it since someone pointed it out to me. :sob:

It’s a shame that Thunderguard Zarya and the other HOTS skins never got remade for OW.

I really like her “physical activities” skins, she should get more of them. If they could somehow get her a Macho Man Randy Savage crossover skin I would actually pay for that.

It’s awful, good heavens… I don’t understand why the colour scheme and then stick an iron man mask on her face?? It’s like they had a theme and a colourscheme and it was going well and then the desginer had 1 too many and decided to throw a gold robot mask on a pink and white skin???

And then add the blue hair as the cherry on top of the cow pat. :face_vomiting:

The same reason why Lifeweaver has nearly zero good skins, they’re not popular unlike Mercy and Kiriko.

I think the hair would be forgivable if the rest of the skin was cohesive enough.

so much wasted potential not giving heroes HOTS skins. the magma D.va one comes to mind
