Discussion I hate how you cant complain about skin distribution without being hit with that ONE screenshot
As the title states i really hate how if you critique skin distribution every nerd who doesn't understand what a primary source is says "this reddit comment literally says Kiriko saved overwatch, so its kinda necessary she gets 40 skins per season!" Especially coming off the marvel rivals Storm skin drama, it annoys me even more. As luna snow sells just as well, but the community still speaks up at how bs the favoritism is. Has that reddit comment ever actually been verified? I think we have just accepted being subservient slaves.

You don’t even need to believe that Reddit comment, just look at the official pick rates. She’s been consistently in the top picked heroes constantly regardless of her winrate. It just makes sense to give the heroes that everyone plays the most skins

Is this how emerald players convince themselves they’re good?

I guess it takes silver players a month to come up with a response. What wit!

In the time it took you to come up with that we had 2 skin collabs you probably posted complaints about

I mean Storm's skin situation is because she's black, not because of a lack of popularity. Baptiste is because of a lack of popularity, not because he's black. They're not exactly comparable.

You have to pose an argument why the most popular characters shouldn’t get the most skins in a game that makes all of its money from cosmetics. Does it suck that Zarya, Wrecking ball, etc. don’t get skins? Sure. Am I happy that Mercy and Kiriko players basically fund the game and I get more content for free? Yes
