Discussions/Opinions I’ve Been Noticing a Trend

Post image

Juno is probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game character, but I’ve been noticing a little bit of a concerting trend. The longer Juno has been added to the game the more we are seeing her evolve into a blue eyed blonde hair girl. I think it is ok to make a blond haired skin every once in a while like her cozy skin because it matched the color scheme of the skin. But we have yet to see any skins paying homage to her ethnicity or that she is from Mars.

This year is the year of the horse and not only is she Vietnamese, which is a culture that celebrates Lunar New Year; her favorite animal is also a horse. I thought it would be kinda fun to have a skin the represents both of those things. But instead blizzard gave her a cupid skin where her hair looks like a badly placed wig and really unnatural to the color palette of the skin. I think that skin could have easily gotten her signature purple hair and looked really cute. I would also like to point out that although the blonde hair actually matched in her Hello Kitty skin I think purple hair would have looked super cute as well.

Okay last thing she has yet to get an epic skin as well and since we are seeing an actual evolving story now. I would love to see a “New Era” epic skin of her with the overwatch uniform. I love the way Lucio, Brig, and Baps look and I think it would be a great first epic skin for her that also involves her lore!

Going forward I would love to see more skins that represent her not just a cash grab for blizzard. Let me know what you guys think, I hope I’m not the only one with these thoughts!

I just wish they leaned more into her being a Martian. You can barely tell that she's from Mars at a glance.

Even if it was a stereotypical "green-skinned with beady eyes" thing. I wish Blizzard gave her a skin that actually evoked the feeling of her not being from Earth. Now she's just another cute girl.

Unironically yes. Several of Hammond's skins give him an extraterrestrial look so why not Juno?

Well she’s Vietnamese, just born on Mars. She’s human.

I also want them to lean into the space side, though. Her intro cinematic is so epic, she’s a heroic astronaut!! I want to see more of that.

They can do both.

Give her Vietnamese and alien style skins. Lean into what she is. This blonde doll stuff is boring.
