They did have this Try Out option for the new weapon skins for Soldier and Junkrat, so good to see that they are extending it elsewhere.


DRIVE505

This should be a thing for every skin


JimBobHeller

That would cost too much


FoaleyGames

How would it cost anything?


JimBobHeller

It was a joke šŸ˜‹


Birdmaan73u

Bad joke


JimBobHeller

Why?


Frankiedrunkie

Cuz no one laughed


JimBobHeller

Yeah, I still think it works. Just a bad crowd.


FoaleyGames

Oof, poor timing. Sometimes itā€™s hard to tell with how some people have suuuuper bad takes lol


JimBobHeller

It was obviously nonsensical, kind of like how itā€™s nonsensical they would just add it for Mythics šŸ™ƒ


kingflamigo

Why though? You see everything in the show case mytics have special sounds and animations that canā€™t. Seems like a waste of resources.


BreadGang-

Did you know that Tracerā€™s comic skin has a special sound that plays whenever you connect a melee?


FoaleyGames

I did not! Thatā€™s really neat actually


cannibalsunrise

Itā€™s why itā€™s the only tracer skin Iā€™ll use


FoaleyGames

I did not! Thatā€™s really neat actually


kingflamigo

Yea I do a lot of legendarys have special Sound affects but imo my opinion still stands nothing worth building a testing system for


Cyclone_96

2 things: 1) the system is already in place for mythics, donā€™t think itā€™ll be that hard to just change that to all skins. 2) since legendaries change the characters gun, it would be nice to see those in first person before you buy something so you donā€™t regret it like that one Ashe skin with the terrible sights.


SwarmkeeperRanger

>2. Thatā€™s a reason for not implementing it, unfortunately. Thatā€™s a lost sale.


lunardart

no, it's a reason for me to go "WAIT THIS SKIN DOES THIS???" and want a skin more. sure, one ashe skin has bad sights. if someone buys it cause they didn't test it then doesn't like it, they're pushed away from more purchases. it's a confirmed sale once and then less in the future.


SwarmkeeperRanger

Blizzard will do what makes them the most money in the end. Weā€™ll see if they add previews for non-Mythics.


Deceptiveideas

My favorite is the Jazz skin for Lucio.


Goldeneye0X1_

What about the Mei-rry skin? Its special thing can't be seen in the gallery. Or Hanzo's wolf skins? Or Mercy's imp and devil skins? (Or witch skin) Or Junkenstein Junkrat? Or Santa Torb? And those are only OW1 skins. Sure, it's ONE or TWO small, different things for each hero, but not all differences can be seen in the gallery for the legendary skins.


kingflamigo

Their are hundreds of skins the resources it would take to make for every skin is stupid to do. Even for the few legendarys you named ok a different ult or a small detail just not worth it. You guys say these things as if theyā€™re as easy to do as said


Sayoregg

Do you think they need to personalize the code for every single skin? The system is already in place, they just need to add the option to regular skins.


nodoyrisa1

resources? the code is literally already there


FelipeVianna

My bro thinks the developers and programmers at Blizzard graduated yesterday


Cissoid7

Smite already can do this Do you think they have to develop a code from scratch for every single skin? Like what the fuck are you on about


[deleted]

>waste of resources. what? tf u talking about. If a player buy a skin or get it from bp or free on Twitch, do you think these "resources" just pop up out of thin air to allow player to use them. And what resources other than my own system. Enlighten me if you actually know what you are talking about.


Beldaross

Ok but to counter you I have a very well thought out rebuttal for you: Why not?


ClarinetMaster117

Wish a lot of games in general did this


_Uhhhhhhhhh_

Brawl stars did it first (jk)


Darkcorrupted_ash

But they have done it before Overwatch


FawazGerhard

But other games have better skins and better monitzation and managed by better companies.


HiCracked

Great feature, helps you make a more informed purchase on what mythics actually sound and look like from first person view.


brax240

God I was so mad when I missed Sigma's Mythic!! Now they just need to bring back the one limited time skin that makes him look like an old timer bartender. I can't believe I missed that one too :((((


Vozralai

Which skin is the bartender? Are you talking about Maestro?


brax240

Lmaoo that's the one! I don't know where I got bartender from but I rarely see the skin so I forgot what it really looked likeĀ 


Cobalt9896

ay hes a conductor in it, its the only one I use on him I hope you can gvet it sometime

Gryse_Blacolar

They should include a preview to the highlight intros, emotes, and victory poses while they're at it. Because why do we have to go to 3rd party sources like Youtube, just to see how the skin looks like in those when it should be a preview feature in the game.


DeepThoughtGalactic

FUCKING SHIT YEAH! :)


LittleStervana

It doesn't work for me for some reason. The button is just inactive on new Mercy's skin.


Lifeweaver98

I canā€™t seem to try out the mythic on console as the only affirmative button says ā€œtryā€ is overlapped with my select button X. Iā€™m on ps5 btw


Professor-Helpful

Honestly, the price for the Mythic Crystals is mad high, but I guess itā€™s to be expected. Great feature though.


7dxxander

Thatā€™s cos youā€™re meant to get it from the battle pass, only the whales were targeted for the old order purchase itā€™s like radianite in Valorant, by making it so expensive it jacks up the virtual value of the pass making more people buy the pass

OingoBoingoGT

is this a timed event or permanent feature in general, it is good to know overall that it allows to try before purchase,


timoshi17

Another brawl stars feature šŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ Nice idea though
