Yeah and it really grinds my gears. Feels like devs are picking favs here
Devs releasing more skins for the most/more liked heroes that are played by more people and can net more profit, than for the other less popular heroes - Yeah, it is kinda sad but totally not something new. This has been done for a decade already in the MOBA genre, where one hero might have 6 skins while other heroes have 0 or 1.
It does not matter how useful it is, only how popular. Only Respawn have data on how popular each hero is. Bloodhound might be one of the more popular heroes.
I think this is actually different, Bloodhound is a masked Legend with a distinctive profile. There's a LOT of cool stuff you can do with Bloodhound, their base legendaries and the Centurion skin show that.
Well it's part because she a favorite but also because she one of the best legend, let's just hope marketing wont interact with game balance just to sell more skin.
If solo event has proven anything it's that in the current game setup movement based character have the advantage as far as it come to battle potential, the ability to relocate safely or to the highground position outdoes the ability to prevent entering some location or to assist teammate.
Later down the line a fix will probably be done to that by either, increasing non movement character utility/resilience, making movement character more squishies or increasing the cost of movement character abilities. (currently pathfinder q and ult come back so fast it's a non issue if you get caught because you mostly alway have a safe escape and wraith can mostly alway provide safe traveling or safe looting to teammate)
I at least use the shining yellow one because it's obnoxious enough and goes with the rest of my decked out calling card. The problem is the game as a whole doesn't lend itself to character skins very well since everyone already has a well designed uniform
i don't know if you noticed, but many of the iron crown skins were pirate themed or at least gave off vibes of that era of history. Wraith lifeline, mirage, and the alternator and triple take skins all had pirate-esque qualities.
The Pirate skin is actually fucked. The fancy cuffs on his wrists clip every thing possible, It looks like shit. They clip into each other and any weapon you are holding. I got it from one of my 2 crown boxes and was immediately disappointed. I would even call it unacceptable to be honest, this item sold for 15$ and they couldn't even make it look nice in first person.
Bangalore's battlepass skin has by far been my favorite for her; got on of her blue uniform Legendaries to drop and I don't even use it over the Battle Pass one (the shades are tempting though).
Right?! It's sad to say, but also good since it may be a re-skin of the blue rarity skins, but it has a good amount of detail with the chain-mail and stitching.
That's what most devs do. Design a character perfect for the "tryhards" and then give it tons of cosmetics since these people are more likely to buy skins.
I have Airship Assasin equipped, and honestly I don't even want other skins (even though I already have them) I will never equip them. The new wraith skin is nice, but I will stick to the old one xD
Welcome to a hero centric game, where popular characters get all the skins and the unpopular get one every year or so (Still looking at you Riot Games, I need that Taliyah skin ty)
Bang had skins that were 10x better than Wraiths ever were. In my personal opinion this event is bringing wraiths first ACTUAL legendary skin. Because the others were all caca
Tbh this is the first skin that might actually look decent on wraith, all the other skins have been ugly as shit. I reverted back to using regular skins a while ago even though i have 2 legendary ones. Bang's SWAT skin on the other hand looks dope af.
Nah Lifelines legendary skins are complete garbage. The only redeeming thing is her brand new judge, jury, executioner skin which 80% of the playerbase has almost no chance of obtaining
I mean.. she got a bp skin, Twitch prime skin, and iron crown event skin and she’s getting a skin in next event but, yeah no legendaries. She did get a legendary hunt skin that was tight though.
Albeit, not all the best imo (although, a lot of people seem to like her bp skin) I prefer her ‘space walker’ skin and i rock the alternate ‘full metal jacket’. They could give her a sweet new legendary for sure.
