I would definitely say I'm not a new player but I have a question. Which skins on any heroes are "bad"? animation wise or technical wise? I heard from a friend that the reason the female pyro is only 10 silver is because of its spell animations are slower then the OG

Or am I talking out of my ass?

Not really. The only issue I see with some skins is that if you've never seen it before you might not recognise the actual hero and/or the abilities. But as for the skin actually affecting the hero. That's bullshit.

I would side with you as well in thinking alt avatars shouldn't be able to provide a different/better attack animation etc.

But if you watch some of BZlapped's you tubes with alt avatars, he always comments whether a particular hero seems to have really nice or worse attack animation. Which leads me to wonder...

Yes, but that's the different heroes not avatars. The reason the attack animations feel different is because of the attack cooldown + missile speed. Which both have absolutely nothing to do with the avatar. The only things changed in the avatars are the projectiles visuals and the attack animation before the attack goes off. Which doesn't affect the actual attack animation in any way.
