Overwatch 2 There are many heroes in the cast. JunoThe Martian support character, who joined the game in season 12, now has 41 different heroes for players to choose from in the hero shooter. Spreading the love equally among all of them in terms of skins and other cosmetics is a challenging task that is unreasonable to expect. However, Overwatch 2 As the game's second anniversary approaches, the community has become increasingly frustrated with Blizzard, as the developer delivers new cosmetics to certain heroes each season while others get nothing, if anything at all.
Venture is the 40th hero added to the team Overwatch 2This has been the focus of conversations as they haven’t received any Legendary skins since joining the roster in April. Even fans of the non-binary damage hero Put a slideshow of the character on a billboard in Times Square They're trying hard to give them the recognition they deserve, but Blizzard isn't giving them much in the way of cosmetics. Overwatch 2 Director Aaron Keller responded to this criticism in a tweetHe confirmed that Venture will make a “really exciting appearance” in season 14, which will be four seasons after their debut. So, an appearance that is coming Somethingpoints out that other characters have received preferential treatment from the development team. The responses to Keller's statement make it clear that fans are not happy with the wait.
For some, Kiriko was the first support hero added to the game. Overwatch 2His 2022 squad became the face of this problem. He, It took 12 seasons and 14 costumesis the highest of the new heroes added Overwatch 2Having been in the game since the original game's release, Mercy has also been a controversial character when it comes to her skin choices, especially due to her being the face of the game. Surveillance giving heroes outfits based on other cultures characters from these cultures are not. While both of these characters get new skins in season 12, heroes like Venture do not get new skins.
Season 12 has been particularly thorny, with the Egyptian-themed battle pass leaving some heroes missing out on more heavily featured characters, despite their stronger ties to mythology. Reaper is this season’s customizable legendary skin dressing him up as Anubis, the Egyptian god of funeral ceremonies, a logical connection given the Reaper's ties to death. However, the synthetic omnic tank Ramattra and its Null Sector faction were initially based on Egyptian mythology in early designs. Even Concept art of the character scrapped with a sand-like motif, but could have made for a suitable mythical skin. To the studio's credit, real Egyptian heroes Ana and Pharah are getting a spiffy makeover legendary weapon and a store skin respectively, but the Reaper's legendary skin is a pain for Ramattra fans who have only received a meager selection of skins since the tank was added. They're sticking with fan art of what the Ramattra Anubis skin might look like.
As a person who spreads his thoughts Overwatch 2 Since I've spent time between multiple heroes, I tend to feature at least one of my favorite characters in each season. But direct comparisons between characters like Kiriko and Mercy, who consistently receive top-tier cosmetics, and Venture, who hasn't received anything since launch and won't for several seasons, highlight the gulf between the heroes.
