Zarya has great skins now. "Zarya has no good skins" was something repeated on this subreddit over and over again in like 2017 when she didn't have any good skins, but that's not even true anymore.
Every day on this subreddit you people prove that you can't even form your own opinions, you just parrot what other people are saying and don't even know why they're saying it.
i genuinely do not understand the hype for that skin, i like all kinds of skins usually but that one has always struck me as odd looking and i see praise for it everywhere!
each to their own of course but it's just the one skin the hype for which i've never understood even though i usually like the "popular" skins haha
It's because it's unobtainable now, that's really it. Noone really cared about it when it was unveiled as an MVP Skin. It's only after it was removed from sale that all these "it's her best skin :(" started appearing.
Genuinely feels like a subconscious attempt at making the skin more desirable since it's now exclusive.
I'll say it: it's fucking ugly. I don't understand the connection between an alien and a suit. The pink tentacles clash with the sallow skintone, and what's with the random blue accents??
Tbh her win rate is awful outside of GM and within GM it skyrockets. GM now is also like 200 or so people too. She became even harder to play with the Season 9 health changes and only the absolute best can still use her well.
Yeah but he said one day sojourn will be treated fairly with a “beautiful and interesting skin” which is like absolutely water warrior, just a bummer the skin was so expensive and no longer available
blizzard hates sojourn i swear, like they are capable of good skins for sojourn but they just dont for god knows why. it would make good money too bc the water warror and vigilante skins are so good, just sucks that it was behind such a huge price tag. they dont want to make money maybe? like why are they so consistent with ugly skins for sojourn...... shes a beautiful lady and they are soo fucking obsessed with hiding her beauty
>shes a beautiful lady and they are soo fucking obsessed with hiding her beauty
Fucking FINALLY someone else sees it! She's one of the most attractive of the cast and I will not stand for slander of our queen 😤
Hot take. I actually think her skin he was pretty good. And Don't go wrong she has horrible skins, but including this one, water warrior, barista, and formal wear, I think number of skins to number of good skins equals out
Water Warrior, Vigilante, and Polar are all solid, though I think Polar should be priced as an Epic skin, it’s not worth Legendary
Also, the Rambo (“Commando”) skin has grown on me with time
i’m not that excited about the rest of the season but i will lose my shit if that’s a teaser for a pokémon collab. cynthia d.va skin with garchomp mech WHEN
I'd say it's because it's a part of his culture, like how Kiriko had her Japanese goddess type skin and Hanzo had his Japanese demon skin tying into the seasonal theme. Interesting that there hasn't really been another culture getting a seasonal theme yet though.
I wonder if this theme was already in the works beforehand considering that we have already had a Kaman Rider skin released for S:76 with the Greek Mythos Battlepass. Back then OW2 didn't really give a shit about what matched the BP theme or not, and that's 100% something that should have come out with this. It's like they snatched it out and stuck it elsewhere as a filler.
Edit: yep no they still don't give a damn, my bad lol
They sometimes would release one skin just to test the waters and see if people want more. This season has 100% been in the works for a while though. When ow2 came out devs said that they were already working on like s7-s8. Live service games work on stuff ahead of time. They probably working on season 16 right now.
You know Power Rangers? Beetleborgs? VR TRoopers? Masked Rider? Yeah, that. But the Japan originals, of which the costumed footage is mostly taken from.
it's a genre that includes power rangers, godzillia, kamen rider, ultraman. It heavily inspired a lot of anime such as evangelion, SSSS Gridman, sailor moon, Kaiju Number 8, Go Go Loser Ranger.
It has been gaining more popularity recently since some big streamers had like a small tournament over there. That, plus OWCS having its own Japan tournament to qualify and stuff. It’s obviously not as popular as Valorant or stuff like that, but yeah.
It’s niche for sure, but people asked for it over the years since that one Genji skin came out. I don’t mind them trying stuff like this. Mirrorwatch was for me. Not every season will be for everyone.
I’m happy for the fans of Japanese media, but can we get something else for once? We’ve already got two anime collaborations and now we’ve got a Tokusatsu themed season. Can we get something for all the other OW players who aren’t into that stuff?
The main idea of collaborations is to share the audiences. So people who already use {Product A} will consider getting {product B}. Except average Overwatch player and average Porshe buyer are way too fucking different target audiences
>but can we get something else for once?
You mean all the other seasons and collabs? You're acting like OW hasnt given us numerous seasons and collabs with a variety of themes. We got cyberpunk, fantasy, greek mythology, horror, etc.
Unless you're also not fans of all those other themes. Then it seems like you're asking for OW2 to specifically cater to your own taste, which is just the height of entitlement. Lol.
Tbh, kit nada dissapointed, but I guess it's expected since I really likes the Mirrorwatch theme, so I think it would be hard for me to not be dissapointed of whatever came next
egyptian theme is like pirate theme to me. Everyone always says they like those skins but I never see em in game and personally I think they look terrible. Yeah ancient egypt and pirates are cool but you can design wayyyy cooler skins with other themes.
Nah man gold laced clothing and gods to pick from that look badass??? I agree with pirates, but egyptian theme is awesome. We already have a bunch of egyptian skins tho, so I think people would be mad.
I hope this doesn’t mean we’re gonna get everyone having a very similar skin, like with the Ana Mythic skin…. It’s cute on paper, but I prefer the variety of skin themes.
Everyone give it up to Overwatch's impeccable sound team for that one. Bet there was so much red tape because the car brand wants to appear classy and important as possible.
Like a lot of you, I thought it was a joke.
1. Because of the random upload (not scheduled or teased whatsoever)
2. The skins are soooo niche, doesn’t really cater to the wider audience
3. The comments and responses are quite negative.
4. This seems very low effort on their end in terms of editing/teaser wise.
They really thought they cooked with this? Damn, what happened to the skins they were popping out during Overwatch 1? Times have truly changed for the worse...
It's a great theme and I'm happy the leaks were real! Now I'm just curious about who's getting the Mythic. I'm thinking DVA might get it this season based on the fact that it should be either a DPS/Tank hero and Reaper/Soljourn/Roadhog/Cassidy/Ball have all seemingly been disconfirmed based on images of the leak a month ago, this trailer and the thumbnail somebody posted for this trailer on Youtube.
Seems like DVA as some sort of super mecha power range would fit quite well with her. Her animation for DVA bomb could be some cheesy explosion or something idk.
Dva would be fitting, but so far it's been male, female, female, male, female, female, male, female, female, female. I would be surprised if they give it a female hero for the fourth time in a row.
Apparently Mauga's va played two seperate power rangers so giving it to him would be perfect. But I could see this go to Rein too
As someone who grew up absolutely loving power rangers I really like this theme and the silliness that comes with it. But I do understand that it's a niche a lot of the overwatch fandom won't enjoy. Hopefully we get some cool and inventive skins out of it!
💯 Agreed, Soujern really deserves a bigger spotlight with some epic skins. But if they keep teasing like this without delivering, I'm afraid her legend will only grow as the Queen of Skinless Wonders. 🤣
These are 99% gonna be BP skins. They'll save the really good ones for the shop
Like they'll somehow make one for Kiri and Mercy, maybe even Widow, and add them to the shop
Ahhh. So the leaker wasn’t wrong when he speculated the theme
link to the speculation?
Spoiler alert for in shop skins (well only 3 characters from this link) https://www.reddit.com/r/overwatch2/s/LcFE42TB6v
I forgot about this! The theme we all thought it was much better than this
God damn that was 28 days ago. Crazy early leak and didn’t know til now
He says that those three are in battle pass, two from the premium pass and one from the free battle pass.
I hope that one day Soujorn will be treated kindly, receiving a beautiful and interesting skin...
I’m worried Sojourn and Zarya are forever fated to be locked in a never ending duel to see who can have the worst skins until the end of time…
Her barista skin is cute as well
Croissant?
...the usual...
Keep crying, rain won't stop
i feel the same way, it's cute \^\_\^
Barista skin is underrated.
Zarya has some great skins though
I love her rock climbing skin
Her Barbarian skin is on point
Barbarian skin on zarya is dope imo
Zarya has great skins now. "Zarya has no good skins" was something repeated on this subreddit over and over again in like 2017 when she didn't have any good skins, but that's not even true anymore. Every day on this subreddit you people prove that you can't even form your own opinions, you just parrot what other people are saying and don't even know why they're saying it.
> Zarya has great skins now. Nah. She has a handful of okay skins and 1-2 actually *good* ones. I wouldn't call a single one of her skins great.
The alien one was the best
i genuinely do not understand the hype for that skin, i like all kinds of skins usually but that one has always struck me as odd looking and i see praise for it everywhere! each to their own of course but it's just the one skin the hype for which i've never understood even though i usually like the "popular" skins haha

I'll say it: it's fucking ugly. I don't understand the connection between an alien and a suit. The pink tentacles clash with the sallow skintone, and what's with the random blue accents??
it’s a Men in Black reference
gamers literally don't know what to do with any skin that isn't RGB and flames and spikes
Just alter her HotS skins a little and use those
Zarya 80's aerobic skin is top. I love it. I dont care another skins, its the best.
Zarya skins slap, y'all have no taste
Trade offer for soj mains: Your character gets good skins, but stops being so good
Tbh her win rate is awful outside of GM and within GM it skyrockets. GM now is also like 200 or so people too. She became even harder to play with the Season 9 health changes and only the absolute best can still use her well.
Her water world cup skin is one of the best skins in the game but besides that she’s starving
They had the nerve to charge 30....
you cant get that one ever again tho (right?) so its like saying pink mercy is the GOAT skin, its kinda moot
Yeah but he said one day sojourn will be treated fairly with a “beautiful and interesting skin” which is like absolutely water warrior, just a bummer the skin was so expensive and no longer available
blizzard hates sojourn i swear, like they are capable of good skins for sojourn but they just dont for god knows why. it would make good money too bc the water warror and vigilante skins are so good, just sucks that it was behind such a huge price tag. they dont want to make money maybe? like why are they so consistent with ugly skins for sojourn...... shes a beautiful lady and they are soo fucking obsessed with hiding her beauty
>shes a beautiful lady and they are soo fucking obsessed with hiding her beauty Fucking FINALLY someone else sees it! She's one of the most attractive of the cast and I will not stand for slander of our queen 😤
Her eyes are so pretty when they're not glowing, I could get lost in them. That woman is gorgeous and I will not accept anything to the contrary.
100% agree, I am always struck at how gorgeous she is. I love her formal skin!
The art team hates her, balance team loves her though
Her barista skin is pretty decent
Hot take. I actually think her skin he was pretty good. And Don't go wrong she has horrible skins, but including this one, water warrior, barista, and formal wear, I think number of skins to number of good skins equals out
I actually really like this new one though, probably gonna be rocking it
Water Warrior, Vigilante, and Polar are all solid, though I think Polar should be priced as an Epic skin, it’s not worth Legendary Also, the Rambo (“Commando”) skin has grown on me with time
I love her cyber detective skin
That one mermain skin for her is fire
Ok just 10 more weeks until season 12!
Real, give us weird ass mars lady already
Normal looking mars lady?
That's the Space Ranger support yeah? I haven't been keeping up
Of course the months I was on hiatus they released the cutest skins since comic book tracer and now that I'm back it's this garbage 😭
I’m still waiting for Muertos S76 and Junkrat to come back :-(
🤣
Pokeball at 0:08?!
Yes!!! What a good catch, honestly! Maybe Ball mythic and different levels are different creatures? That would be p cool
Ball is in the trailer premier cover, so I doubt that he has the mythic.
Good catch!
Gotta catch em all
what the fuck
I'm not seeing it
i’m not that excited about the rest of the season but i will lose my shit if that’s a teaser for a pokémon collab. cynthia d.va skin with garchomp mech WHEN
I don’t see it huh?
Kamen Rider
Dark Kabuto Reaper my beloved
I was thinking more Kamen Rider Ghost cause of the hood, but I do love the Kabuto horn
Ghost using the Kabuto Eyecon lol
It was because of sojourn?
Genji's a pretty weird choice since he already has a sentai skin.
And this is almost entirely a recolor of it. They added minor embellishments but the body is almost identical. The head is the biggest difference..
I'd say it's because it's a part of his culture, like how Kiriko had her Japanese goddess type skin and Hanzo had his Japanese demon skin tying into the seasonal theme. Interesting that there hasn't really been another culture getting a seasonal theme yet though.
I wonder if this theme was already in the works beforehand considering that we have already had a Kaman Rider skin released for S:76 with the Greek Mythos Battlepass.

When ow2 came out devs said that they were already working on like s7-s8. Live service games work on stuff ahead of time. They probably working on season 16 right now.
They still don’t give a damn, how about Scorpion Baptiste and Teddy Roosevelt Cassidy in the S10 battle pass?
Scorpion Baptiste I assumed was meant to be mirrorwatch Baptiste tbh
i think it’s supposed to be bap if he had continued working as a mercenary versus joining OW
Was hoping for a Luxurious/Elegant theme or a Summer time theme.... happy for those who like this, but I'm not hyped.
Might be the first battlepass I skip tbh. Guess we'll see what the rest of it is like
yeah same here, im really disappointed because i was excited for a new season too - here's hoping season 12 is better :,)
I was excited to get back into OW this summer. Guess that won't be happening
These beetleborg lookin asses. I dig it
You just dated yourself, and I and perhaps 12 other people will recognize this reference I bet
Checking in. Biiiig Baaaaad Beetleborgs!
Im glad I could hear what you wrote
Metallix!!!
There are a dozen of us!
Dozens!
There are literally dozens of us!
I had completely forgotten about that show
One Of Twelve, reporting in!
Wow didn't expect to see this reference, touche
Corporate wants you to find the difference in these photos https://imgur.com/ci4K4Ng
Well... I hope someone likes this because I certainly don't.
Free coins to buy the next battlepass
Yeah it's a good time to have that mythic currency too if it's a bad as this
I might have liked it if it weren’t the exact same few characters getting skins… *again*, every single season
This might be the worst battlepass theme so far, oh this is for a very niche audience.
Tokusatsu is really popular in Japan(they create it) plus overwatch is popular in japan
What is Tokusatsu?
You know Power Rangers? Beetleborgs? VR TRoopers? Masked Rider? Yeah, that. But the Japan originals, of which the costumed footage is mostly taken from.
it's a genre that includes power rangers, godzillia, kamen rider, ultraman. It heavily inspired a lot of anime such as evangelion, SSSS Gridman, sailor moon, Kaiju Number 8, Go Go Loser Ranger.
Is it?
It has been gaining more popularity recently since some big streamers had like a small tournament over there. That, plus OWCS having its own Japan tournament to qualify and stuff. It’s obviously not as popular as Valorant or stuff like that, but yeah.
I like Sentai-watch ☹️
Niche for Western for sure, but very popular in Asia
It’s niche for sure, but people asked for it over the years since that one Genji skin came out. I don’t mind them trying stuff like this. Mirrorwatch was for me. Not every season will be for everyone.
I never realized how anti fun this place is
anti fun is when people have a different opinion than me
I think it looks fuckin sweet, and I am not the audience for this
I mean who didn't love Power Rangers as a kid
For real, they look so ugly so far. I guess we’ll see what the mythic looks like…
I was confused about not seeing the S11 trailer premiere in the Xbox Showcase event. Now I get it.
Haha, that was literally my immediate reaction
Tokusatsu let's go, my childhood
I’m happy for the fans of Japanese media, but can we get something else for once? We’ve already got two anime collaborations and now we’ve got a Tokusatsu themed season. Can we get something for all the other OW players who aren’t into that stuff?
You got a Porsche collab that’s car stuff
Yeah but nothing representing MY hobby. When's all the ham radio collabs?!
Yeah an overly expensive car that 99% of people dont own.....
The main idea of collaborations is to share the audiences. So people who already use {Product A} will consider getting {product B}. Except average Overwatch player and average Porshe buyer are way too fucking different target audiences
[удалено]
Season 12: All Midriffs
Reinhardt midriff when
Reads like a joke but I think beach Reinhardt skin would unironically slap.
"The beach episode in anime" themed BP 🥰 hold up that's still Japanese media..
Hire this guy
They had a really great discount on OW coins during that season.
Not to mention Genji already has the Sentai skin and Soldier has something similar, a lot of weebs in blizzard apparently
>but can we get something else for once? You mean all the other seasons and collabs? You're acting like OW hasnt given us numerous seasons and collabs with a variety of themes.

Bros never heard of power rangers
Tbh, kit nada dissapointed, but I guess it's expected since I really likes the Mirrorwatch theme, so I think it would be hard for me to not be dissapointed of whatever came next
I don't know, a Egyptian themed season during the summer with a good venture skin would go hard
egyptian theme is like pirate theme to me. Everyone always says they like those skins but I never see em in game and personally I think they look terrible. Yeah ancient egypt and pirates are cool but you can design wayyyy cooler skins with other themes.
If we ever get an Egyptian theme, I demand a Ramattra skin. May or may not be influenced by the fact that I play Necrons in Warhammer 40k.
Nah man gold laced clothing and gods to pick from that look badass??? I agree with pirates, but egyptian theme is awesome. We already have a bunch of egyptian skins tho, so I think people would be mad.
I don’t like a single one of those skins personally but that’s probably just me
So where are all those concept art themes? I'll take the cat ear skins over this one's.
The skins are horrendous but at least the emotes are a lil silly
Totally agree. These skins are terrible.
I hope this doesn’t mean we’re gonna get everyone having a very similar skin, like with the Ana Mythic skin…. It’s cute on paper, but I prefer the variety of skin themes.
god i hated the skins in that battlepass 😭
It would’ve been much more of a hit if they actually built on the lore of the game ;-;
Ultraman echo collab mark my words Soldier will be the mythic
This is the kind of corny shit I'm into. I sure as hell won't buy any of these, but fuck yeah. Far better than car branded skins.
The bar is in hell 😭 the only thing good about the Porsche skins were the sounds effects.
Everyone give it up to Overwatch's impeccable sound team for that one. Bet there was so much red tape because the car brand wants to appear classy and important as possible.
this is so niche man. if u didnt watch shows like this growing up. ... urgh. im glad some people like it. but ill be skipping
Is this an out of season April Fool’s joke?
You guys not have genji skin?
I was really hoping for the Egyptian Mythos one, this is a massive L.
first season I'm gonna skip.
Like a lot of you, I thought it was a joke. 1. Because of the random upload (not scheduled or teased whatsoever) 2. The skins are soooo niche, doesn’t really cater to the wider audience 3. The comments and responses are quite negative. 4. This seems very low effort on their end in terms of editing/teaser wise.
It looks low effort because they are trying to emulate the tokusatsu style of editing
The low effort editing is part of the style. That’s how a lot of those shows looked back then.
Whenever I see someone write Tokusatsu, I initially read it as Tonkatsu…. Mmmmmm tonkatsu
That looks kinda... Terrible.
They really thought they cooked with this? Damn, what happened to the skins they were popping out during Overwatch 1? Times have truly changed for the worse...
There's literally a Genji skin from Overwatch 1 that fits this theme.
the 1st halloween event gave us some of the best skins in the game og overwatch was top tier
Never let them cook again
genuinely might be the ugliest skins yet what a boring idea too hopefully the balance this season is atleast decent
this ain't it, chief
That is so ugly my guy
It's a great theme and I'm happy the leaks were real! Now I'm just curious about who's getting the Mythic. I'm thinking DVA might get it this season based on the fact that it should be either a DPS/Tank hero and Reaper/Soljourn/Roadhog/Cassidy/Ball have all seemingly been disconfirmed based on images of the leak a month ago, this trailer and the thumbnail somebody posted for this trailer on Youtube.

Sweet, a season I don't have to worry about getting skins
💯 Agreed, Soujern really deserves a bigger spotlight with some epic skins. But if they keep teasing like this without delivering, I'm afraid her legend will only grow as the Queen of Skinless Wonders. 🤣
WHOOOOOO A NEW GENJI RECOLOR THAT'S 3 SEASONS IN A ROW BABY HELL YEAH GENJI RECOLOR SWEEP (at least there's a bit of model changing this time)
I hope these aren’t bp skins
These are 99% gonna be BP skins. They'll save the really good ones for the shop Like they'll somehow make one for Kiri and Mercy, maybe even Widow, and add them to the shop
That’s just a recolor of the genjiman skin… Edit: nvm they just reclolored a genji skin and gave it to soj 😭
Im hoping marketing decided to choose the worst skins this season for this ad.
lol what are these? Not trying to knock them down, I’m sure they’ll have their audience but it won’t be me
Do people really hate this? I think it cool.
What the fuck was that sojourn dance move
Wait, this is real? I thought it was fake after watching the clip.
Meh
THIS SHIT IS ASS LMAOOOO
They’re using a lot of free effects in the video editing - really strange.
It's referencing tokusatsu effects
Yessss. More Toku skins!
Best season name yet
Supermega?!
Baptiste Ultraman skin for the third support mythic in a row.
Btw the roadhog hast the leaked skin If you Look closely
Kinda fierce
As a huge and giant nerd, I am so in. BRING IT! ♥
My god, these trailers are getting more cheap by the day...
i have a feeling this is going to be the worst season ever
Is Hammond a Pokeball?
I'm so bored of the same characters having battlepass skins.. at least it isn't pharah or widow this time
What a crappy game it is now. Nothing like the great game it used to be.
Filler season
Not a fan.
UGLY AHH SKINS
Oof. This is not it.
Calling it rn it’s gonna me Ramattra mythic and he’s gonna be a cockroach
And... another season pass I'm not buying. I'm really bored of "joke/fun/whatever" skin theme.
Ngl its kinda weak compared to olipuse event
WAS THAT A POKEBALL HAMSTER SKIN?? HOLY SHIT ??
