Game News Overwatch 2: this new skin can ruin your game
Released in early October 2022, Overwatch 2 releases paid skins on a regular basis, including through the latest mythology collection. Far from being mere appearances, one of them turns out to be a disadvantage for players of the Fatale character.
Summary
- Honoring the Olympian Gods in Overwatch 2
- A pay-to-lose Widowmaker skin?
In addition to new skins, the arrival of Season 2 of the Battle Pass has unveiled a new game mode. A welcome novelty for fans of the free-to-play FPS who expect new regular content. Perfectly rooted in the theme of Greek mythology, the Battle for Olympus mode offers “every man for himself” where the 7 featured characters are available with their new skins: Poseidon Ramattra, Minotaur Reinhardt, Zeus Queen of the Junkers, Cyclops Chopper, Medusa Fatale, Hades Pharah, and Hermes Lucio. They do not have their usual ultimate abilities, but have special skills related to the current event. A few lines of dialogue have also been added to stick to the spirit of Greek mythology. A game mode available until January 19.
A pay-to-lose Widowmaker skin?
Bad surprise for players who bought the Medusa skin from Widowmaker. This appearance is too loud, which clearly disadvantages the games with this character who is supposed to remain discreet and be on the lookout for the slightest noise. Still, it’s not the only skin that sounds a bit louder, but it seems to affect her character’s gameplay too much. Players believe that it is a “pay-to-lose”, in other words a way of paying to lose the game. To see if Activision-Blizzard decides to correct this sound inconvenience.
The new Medusa skin is so loud it actively punishes you for using it. Not only can you not hear enemy footsteps you also can’t hide either. The enemy team can hear the snakes/hair on the Medusa skin & pinpoint your location from them. pic.twitter.com/S1P6CxO7Qp
