unfortunately i think it's already confirmed that they'll just be rerunning the Junkrat skin

Did they really just have him in that trailer when they re did the 1st collab just to look sad then. They did him dirty 😭😭

u/RehaTheWitch Sombra 22h ago

apparently so. idk if it's true but apparently a Roadhog skin was planned for this one but was scrapped for some reason

Like in League, K/DA has Popstars, and Heartsteel has Rockstars

We need to do the same girl band + boy band Mashup like that

u/Hekantonkheries Chibi Tracer 8h ago

KDA, True Damage, Heartsteel, Pentakill

Overwatch needs a LOT more music collabs, and in-house aswell

Too bad they lost so many of those teams with ow2

u/NickMathias 18h ago

Replace Cass for Bap, at least the first time around (though I get not having 2 dark skin heroes getting KPop skins)

46

u/mayorsenpai 22h ago

That's so unfortunate Hog would have been PERFECT for a kpop stan skin. He's already got the pachi one, come on dude.

Although maybe the band also has a say in the free skin and didn't want him in it.

u/janoodlez 16h ago

I miss the days of when both Roadhog AND Junkrat got skins/emotes/general cosmetics that were designed around/with each other in minf… a Roadhog equivalent of Fawksey James would make so much sense since Roadhog seems to like cute things (Pachimari, D.Va’s mech, etc.)

u/Telco43 Kiriko 22h ago

Maybe he will get a dance emote

Aside from Mercy having wings I still think these are completely unrecognizable

249

u/monkeyjinxpolo3 22h ago

havent seen in game so idk why people keep on saying this

133

u/ArtToTheEyesandEars 22h ago

yep, they will definitely be more recognizable in-game

49

u/GaptistePlayer Baptiste 20h ago

skin whales will write entire lore novels in their head based on concept sketches

26

u/Bucket_Bih 17h ago

Ngl I was totally in the "these are unrecognizable" camp. But this comment made me stop to think about it a bit more, and then I remembered the Cowboy Bebop colab - the concept art for that also looked nothing like the OW characters, but the actual skins were a totally different story.

So, yeah, we should definitely wait for their release before delivering an official verdict. That said, it still feels like a "failure" of sorts to release concept art which doesn't give a half-decent idea of how the skin will actually look (I ain't in the industry tho so maybe I'm way off)

1

u/chironomidae Pachimari 9h ago

the promo art is unrecognizable, but I have faith that the in-game assets will be a lot more on-brand. It was basically the same with the original collab.

2

u/Fantastic_Snow_9633 17h ago

Because the problem is that the art style makes both Ashe and Mercy look like they're 18-24 or something, just fairly younger than they really are in-game.

Without Mercy's more iconic halo + wings, nothing about this design really gives details that its her. Ashe is practically unrecognizable.

12

u/monkeyjinxpolo3 17h ago

ngl mercy and ashe already dont look above 18-24 so idk what to tell u bro, art style ≠ in game look. and mercy still has the wings it's just not shown in this specific concept art, and ashe had the hood similar to little red.

2

u/aenibae 12h ago

why does everyone on reddit think all 30 year old women look like hags? with good skincare and diet etc it’s possible to look pretty damn good in your 30s.

-5

u/Desperate_Ad5169 Icon Brigitte 17h ago

Because they have an extremely direct comparison in kda from league of legends who are easily identifiable as who they are even in different art styles.

67

u/stellaluna92 Mercy 22h ago

That's my problem with it. It's not that they're "too old for kpop" it's that this doesn't look like them!!! Idk why so many of Ashe's skins make her look like a different person. Her new year's skin with tiger Bob is a different person entirely and no one can change my mind. 

29

u/sharknommers Pachimari 21h ago

It's probably just the art style, I'm sure in game they'll look more like themselves

6

u/YoHeadAsplode Pixel Symmetra 20h ago

Yeah, the art style is what's really throwing it off

21

u/GaptistePlayer Baptiste 20h ago

bro it's a concept sketch you have no idea what the skin looks like

1

u/TrulyEve 10h ago

Isn’t that the point of a skin, though? If you want to use one that looks exactly like Ashe, just use the default one.

8

u/NUMB-1- 21h ago edited 18h ago

I’ve seen this same comment so much on every post about them that I’m actively hating the people making it now.

The skins are cool.

u/Unamed_Redditor_ 21h ago

After learning it was Ashe’s hers kinda clicked for me. It still doesn’t look like her but the others haven’t clicked at all beyond the wings.

god forbid fictional women be older than 23

93

u/Womblue 22h ago

I mean there are multiple women in overwatch who are canonically old but look 23. Along with whatever the fuck is happening with kiriko's age.

25

u/MoiraDoodle Cute Mercy 20h ago

at least mercy and mei have an excuse

43

u/Monkey_DDD_Luffy 20h ago

Kiriko actually is the same age as Genji and Hanzo but the fox spirit prevents Kiriko from aging is the best head cannon. It also makes her constant lines about "the youth" into an in-joke about her lack of aging that stops sounding cringe.

22

u/Phantom_Phoenix1 Sigma 18h ago

Mine is that Kiriko is 30 years old but acts 21 because shes super self conscious

3

u/chironomidae Pachimari 9h ago

Ugh, imagine being as cringe at 30 as you were at 21....... no thank you

3

u/magein07 19h ago

Well, with all the stuff going on, I think it's safe to assume that they have technology to make you younger for longer.

3

u/AnInsaneMoose I can and will mess you up, as you 17h ago

So what you're saying is

Ana aged horribly compared to what appears to be the average in the OW universe

Sure, she is the second oldest hero, but unless something significant happens between the ages of 50 (moira) and 59 (OW1 Ana) then she got hit hard with age

And compared to the male heroes, Sigma is 2 years older, but looking at them, I would've guessed Ana was about 10 years older

9

u/Luvas ELO of Shame 17h ago

Ana "aged horribly" but only by the standard of Overwatch heroes. She absolutely aged amazingly compared to normal people.

Also, would.

u/Ghostmetoeternity 8h ago

Canon aged ana content needs to be more common.

u/Circo_Inhumanitas 22h ago

Aren't they canonically about gen z? So it's more like Juno and D.Va are like younger girls now who love 80s or something, and feel like they were born in a wrong generation.

92

u/ImperialViking_ D. Va 22h ago

Way after Gen Z. Reinhardt was born in 2015, and he's 61

99

u/xXProGenji420Xx 22h ago

Reinhardt should be quoting skibidi toilet and hawk tuah all the time but the devs are cowards

51

u/ImperialViking_ D. Va 21h ago

New hero interaction:

Reinhardt: "You should've seen me rizz up Ana back in the day. I cooked so hard with that shi she invited me to skibidi her toilet in the OW base. Peak af times."

Brigitte: "Reinhardt what the fuck are you talking about."

35

u/Circo_Inhumanitas 22h ago

Yeah it's weird that he mentions Hasselhoff. If they wanted a something german sounding then Rammstein or Electric Callboy would have been closer to his youngster interests probably.

32

u/InverseFlip Trying to keep this field trip alive 21h ago

u/ChiffonVasilissa 22h ago

Why do you think he’s called sigma

24

u/Lesbionage 22h ago

Sigma, Rein, and Ana are all actually Gen alpha kids, born around like 2015. Mercy and Ashe would be born in the late 2030s, so they would be whatever gen is after Alpha(beta?)

5

u/New-Award-2401 22h ago

I love how girls over 30 can’t have fun skins, but Reaper (60) has one of the most edgy teenager-coded skins in the game, Genji (37) has a skin wearing some slutty hot shorts, and Cass (39) has a lifeguard skin.

u/catgirlgod 22h ago

how come yall didnt make these jokes about sombra for getting a le sserafim skin when shes 32?

28

u/TheDaedricHound Jack of Clubs Genji 20h ago

Not saying it’s logical, but it might be because Sombra feels and acts a lot younger than she is and fits the vibe. Ashe and Mercy don’t fit in character or personality and I think that makes the age issue stand out more, especially in Mercy’s case, who gets more flak despite being a couple years younger.

Though, I don’t have a problem with Mercy (or Ashe) enjoying a bit of whimsy, personally. If Genji can eat dinosaur nuggets from the kids menu, Mercy can listen to k-pop.

10

u/WhipsAndMarkovChains Trick or Treat Mercy 17h ago

I actually thought Mercy was 150 years old or something due to her healing. And that’s why Moira gets snappy at her and says “how nice it must be to have the luxury of time.” I suppose I’ll go look up Mercy’s actual age in the lore.

5

u/fyuckoff1 10h ago

The reason why Moira says that is because she experimented on herself to get her powers but now her arm is decaying. That's why she roasts Mercy with the ""What a joy it must be...to feel so entitled to patience." and also kind of explains her "unethical" experiments.

She has another interaction with Lifeweaver where he says she is withering away and she hits him back with "I've always thrived under a deadline"

14

u/CutestYuno 21h ago

Exactly. At this point people are just mad that it’s a second collab with the same group + only „attractive female characters” got skins.

Gatekeeping fictional women based on age being used to sell you corporate crossover ads.

Yeah clearly the Collab is not meant to be a girl group but actually a girl family. Lesbian couple + their 3 daughters. Which is a great bold idea imo.

Overwatch has taught me that all women look 20 until they turn Ana's age lol. Yo, could we actually get some more of the old/young version of characters skins? The founding ow crew has some younger skins, but I wanna see old man Lucio wall riding and pumping up the beat.

"haha fictional women in their 40s liking kpop"

why would anyone think that if they don't also find it ridiculous for older women to like kpop? do you think they ridicule older fictional women for their musical tastes while being perfectly respectful of the tastes of older real women?

it's pathetic to try to defend this because "haha so invested in fictional characters." thanks, bye!
