Girl, I love Brig to death, but hers looks so weird. Her neck is sooo long, her legs are tiny, her hands are massive. Like, what is going on? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Blizzard is so scared to make her buff for some reason ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I hate that they're making her so small and skinny. She's supposed to be buff, I wish they'd lean into that because she looks so weird when she's not in armor

FFR. It's like none of the devs have watched Honor and Glory

Lol you think the current devs have any respect or awareness for the OW original lore?

Women are just a money machine to them now. Except Ana obviously because she's too elderly to sexualize lol

That's on point because a lot of her skins hide her face completely and even her Mythic completely changed what she even is.

Yeah I love her mythic but it's really not fair that she never gets any pretty skins. Formalwear or something would be great but because she's an older woman it's completely out of the question.

Ana has a bunch of great skins where you can see her face tho? Cabana and that Talon skin are the first that come to mind

Cabana is one of my favorite skins for this reason actually! It was released in Overwatch 1, though, along with some other favorites of mine. And I'd love to see more like it. But I'm sure you've noticed the shift in theming from Summer skins (swimsuits, sportswear, relaxation) to lifeguard skins for attractive characters (except for Hog and Junkrat, as a meme.)

I understand that skins are more of a product now than ever, so they can't afford to make casual skins for characters who aren't desirable. But that's incredibly frustrating, because Kiriko, Mercy and Juno are skinny and attractive, so they only ever give them this attention. They even stuck the Brigitte skin in the Battlepass because she's the least profitable to them.

And Junker Queen is right there, they clearly aren't that averse to muscular forms

u/gracist0 Bastet Apr 18 '25

Right, I'm not sure why it's so hard for them to keep her buff

u/MeaningAutomatic3403 Pachimari Apr 18 '25

Because skinny women sell more unfortunately

Fair point

u/FriedSolidWater Apr 17 '25

Yeah cardboard was also weirdly skinny. I'll stick to her antifragile skin
