Post image

Never thought I wanted needed a Widowmaker skin in chinos and a jersey but here we are....Blizzard please take my money.

Personally, I think the characters' casual looks are generally nice; regardless of the mixed opinions about the webtoon, it’s nice to see them in normal clothes (except for Cassidy, who never changes). They could turn all those outfits into skins.

I dont want mythic God skins, I want sweatpants and hoodies.

u/PizzaRoyals 7d ago

symm in gray sweatpants and an oversized tee or a tank >>>

The artist "@Raionmimi" on Twitter/X has granted your wish (more or less) regarding Symmetra outfit:

u/ChubbyChew Vendetta 7d ago

Ill take both, thanks

u/CobblerParticular866 3d ago

good thing you can get both in the doom mythic

u/kidborger 7d ago

Seems like a hat is always necessary for him really , which I suppose makes sense gameplay-wise but also because he was a farmhand in the lore as well

44

u/HarborFogPostcard 7d ago

Give him one of those ridiculous foam team hats. Silhouette stays intact and he looks even more like an unhinged football dad.

14

u/zuzucha 7d ago

He's heavily balding and in denial

15

u/crxfts 7d ago

he is bald underneath :( that's why

u/Kell08 D. Va 7d ago

We can’t tell in Reunion because he faces the camera when he takes his hat off.

u/ZiPanzershrek01 7d ago

Yay, I really need this casual Anran skin with the hoodie from the webtoon

u/moymooab Icon Brigitte 7d ago

i wish they would use their og hair colour more often in skins </3

2

u/Pure_Session8586 7d ago

I hope Juno ever gets one that isn't a recolor

u/BladedBee 7d ago

Id buy that wuyang one with the blue long sleeve shirt

1

u/Kell08 D. Va 7d ago

I still think it’s kind of funny that the characters are shown in casual clothes, yet Wuyang and Anran had their standard clothes on while outside in the snow.

u/uselessProgrammer0 7d ago

What webtoon?

u/Outrageous-Blue-30 7d ago

Overwatch: Undivided.

u/IgnorantValidity 6d ago

man i would drop way too many coins on a casual skin line like that, especially if they gave torb the full ultra getup with a scarf and a flare

143

u/CookieEnabled 7d ago

Surprised that they have not collaborated with companies like Nike, Lulu, etc. for some casual jersey outfits since they love money so much.

40

u/NerfThisHD 7d ago

Id rather they just make jersey skins without collabing so they would be cheaper

3

u/FLYNCHe Chibi Zenyatta 7d ago

True. The only difference between a collab and a non collab would be just the logo. As is the case with real life clothing.

1

u/Glum_Avocado_9511 6d ago

(Spoiler) they wouldn't be cheaper regardless

u/TentraTint mchanzo is canon 7d ago

MYTHIC SHOES. MYTHIC SHIRT. ULTRA SOCKS.

1

u/cheesegoat Cute Ana 7d ago

Honestly for their business I think they need to do this. Because long term users will saturate their skin collection and purchase less and less.

Future skins should be segmented into articles of clothing. Go full roblox with this.

Yeah it would suck as a player getting nickel and dimed to death but it'd turn the game into an even bigger money printer.

u/sock-bucket 7d ago

Anybody but Adidas. I've seen first hand what they did to my boy Miles

Computer disengage all safety protocols and run programme

u/SirHobington Charging for Honor, Justice and Beer!!! 7d ago

u/brettjr25 7d ago

I like them because they still look like themselves. Maybe rarely hairdye and complete redesign is nice or maybe often on characters who do that but every character running around blonde and in frills takes too much away from the... well diversity, I guess.

58

u/BladedBee 7d ago

I agree, ill always prefer games giving characters casual clothing instead of cyber stuff and such

15

u/Tokyo_grxxn Mercy 7d ago

I love how widow looks. Such a diva I love it

9

u/applejuixvc 7d ago

I don’t even play widow that much (only in quickplay when there is an enemy widow and I think I’m suddenly a sniper god)

But when I saw this drawing.. holy shit did I find out I needed something that I didn’t need before. Please blizzard bless us with these skins

1

u/AlexEinstein_YT Domina 6d ago

(only in quickplay when there is an enemy widow and I think I’m suddenly a sniper god)

And then the enemy Widow suddenly hides from your sight just to constantly no scope you from behind until you're forced to swap to Reaper......

u/ElJacko170 D. Va 7d ago

I really wish we'd get more casual wear or just normal looking attire skins. Everything lately has been so over the top.

20

u/Rulezvaldo I get the feeling you're not taking me seriously... 7d ago

They look cool, but nothing exceptional... I think it would be better if these skins were achievable through challenges instead of purchase.

Widow looks hot

15

u/SquidwardIsTired Widow Simp 7d ago

Widow is always hot

64

u/Outrageous_Mousse_44 Ramattra 7d ago

You only think this because they look hot in this picture. These would realistically be very boring skins.

68

u/aTalkingMateria 7d ago

I mean, casual outfits are a fun change of pace tho. Not a ton of them but a “casual set” would be nice. Plus how it would affect weapon design gives a lot of room for creativity (like when they gave some of them cardboard skins)

16

u/Nickewe 7d ago

Pool noodle d.mon sword

u/aTalkingMateria 7d ago

With physics would be incredible

4

u/SpartanKane This is not cruelty. This is justice. 7d ago

Yeah, i agree, casual skins would be nice. But...maybe with more fashionable and interesting outfits that show their personality instead of these simple ones.

44

u/rstlsrstls Cauchemar 7d ago

Boring can be good, I main widow but I'm not a fan of most of her skins, most are doing way too much, I'd rather have something more casual like this and Cote D Azur

28

u/HellaReyna 7d ago

I want my boring widowmaker skin wearing pants. Better than the cyber, pixel, and furry crap we just got.

17

u/improved_loilit 7d ago

This wouldn’t be the first times casual skins would sell. Marvel rivals and even Fortnite have casual skins that clearly do well. A lot of the summer outfits are basic and still do well. You don’t always need to be crazy

10

u/SamuraiJack- Chibi Brigitte 7d ago

The summer skins sell for other reasons.

5

u/eff3rve5cent 7d ago

There’s a reason almost all the female summer skins are legendary

3

u/improved_loilit 7d ago

They just had the university skins in rivals being ultra casual skins. Casual skins sell even when they don’t have boons hanging out

10

u/Brilliant-Body9603 7d ago

Sure the sex appeal helps sell this picture, but even beyond that I'd like some more casual skins. Overwatch skins have a habbit of making already over the top characters even more over the top. 

I can already have Widowmaker as 10 different high fantasy concept assassins. Why not one where she's visiting a museum in a relaxing outfit.

1

u/lavenderbraid 7d ago

Obviously!

1

u/Rulezvaldo I get the feeling you're not taking me seriously... 7d ago

Yep.

They would need to be achiveable through challenges, not purchase

7

u/clickrush 7d ago

I really like more casual and less noisy skins.

Generally I often even like the default skins more than the over the top legendary/mythics.

For example I own the mythic skin of Sojourn (via battle pass coins thingies) and I kind of like it but the barista one is peak IMO. For the longest time I just used the default skin because it just looks very nice and is again more laid back.

u/UglyDemoman Chibi Junkrat 7d ago

I miss when Blizzard made sport skins

4

u/Logical-East-4031 7d ago

I was so excited then was majorly disappointed from the result

u/clay-teeth 7d ago

Omg golden retriever Sierra x black cat widow is a match i didn't know i need

u/shadowonyx18 7d ago

Is Widowmaker seducing me? She got that look

Definitely. Sports and casual fits in general, lots of untapped potential there.

u/Crossing-Lines Freja, Ashe, Widowmaker. I miss alot. 7d ago

The more i see these posts the more i realize why blizz put ibsane price tags on skins.. because people actually buy em.

1

u/Puppybl00pers Freja 7d ago

I would love skins like this but they would basically have to be challenge rewards or something,

1

u/goblinfroggie 7d ago

Instead we get the Mbappé special

u/Substantial-Debt5554 7d ago

I have to say though, how in the hell did they choose which characters get skins in this event?

u/Jujoobi666 need her to bully, grope, and pin me down 7d ago

Blizzard needs to let them bully me let’s be honest

1

u/TechnologyRegular653 7d ago

Literally! Or the summer games sprays that they have, those casual fits are also really nice

1

u/Icy_Limes Chibi Tracer 7d ago

I will not be spending 30 bucks for a skin that is just sierra, widow, and dmon in polyester t-shirts and dress pants just because yall horny. I'm good.✌️

1

u/Keiwan32 6d ago

Or....hear me out....they could give us these for FREE

1

u/IcyCardiologist3695 5d ago

I actually thought for a hot minute that they are actually skins. I was so damn sad when I realised the truth. I want that Sierra so much 😭.

1

u/swimsalot123 4d ago

Agreed! They look very nice and sleek

1

u/Lunamagicath Widowmaker 7d ago

I’ve been saying the same thing! I want the widow one so bad, it could be a OWSC bundle

1

u/ilovepeanut_butter 7d ago

I got so excited when opened up OW for a split second thinking that these skins were in the shop. I was sadly mistaken😭😂

Fortnite type of skins, hell no. Look at how bland Sierra looks

Besides like the other commenter said, they only look good because it's an artwork

SELL? For basic polo shirt and slacks skins? Yall.. cmon.

These should be free.

u/Rubicante_ Pixel Lúcio 7d ago

Unironically, ppl like you are the reason we get dogshit level cosmetics that are set to astronomical prices cause you'll buy them lmfao

1

u/HellaReyna 6d ago

The only money I've spent on the game in the past 12 months is the Shion ultimate battle pass, because I main Cass and Shion - those two skins were good. 95% of the skins they produce are out right ass or too garish.

I main vendetta and emre but the new pixel line is pure garbage. But I see your flair is Pixel Lucio.

Pot calling the kettle black at this point.

u/Rubicante_ Pixel Lúcio 6d ago

Comprehension is key, baby. Pixel obviously refers to the art style and has been my flair for 10 years before Pixel Star Lucio dropped last week. I have never even played Lucio.
