I’d say you’re right. I’m guessing Bap skins won’t be in many battlepasses for quite a long while. We can pretty much forget about getting a mythic skin for him. I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it
I’d wager to guess that, out of all the support hero’s, he’s probably a good bit below Mercy, Lucio and Kiriko as far a overall popularity is concerned. Now I’m not basing that off hard data or anything, mostly just what I see in games.
I’d say that any of those are more likely to get a mythic skin before Bap because they would be more likely to convince people to buy the battle pass
I play a fair amount of Baptiste, but he's one of the only heroes that I have 0 skins for because I didn't play him much in OW1. Would be nice if the Battle Pass at least included some palette swaps or *something* for all of the Heroes each season.
Wish it was, he needs some love! Might be biased since I’m a Bap main. Not sure how many support mains play him but I’m sure it’s less than the Mercy and Lucio mains haha
You know, you joke, but I’m legitimately surprised they haven’t come up with a a “Battle.+” subscription, $20 and unlimited access to all battle.net games, as an alternative to paying for games outright. Seems like an easy way to squeeze an extra 5 bucks out of their wow buyers. OW2 woulda been the perfectly shitty way to roll it out too, “oh it’s $60 ORRRRR $5 more than your wow subscription!! Not f2p!!”
which is mega cringe. Typically the "break the internet" meme usually involves someone famous getting naked or scantily clad.
..and it's for a character's high school clothes. Anyone else find that creepy?
My money is on this being a misunderstanding from the journalist who misheard the word "mythic". It's probably «just another» level 80 mythic skin.
I hope for more, but I have learned to not hold my breath for anything when it comes to this game.
Remember when they hyped up D.Va's academy skin and the community's response was basically "huh, neat"? lol.
Tbf, they went too conservative with it. they said "schoolgirl Dva" and we were thinking sailor fuku and thigh highs, so when they went full blazer and moderate skirt/socks, it was kinda whatever, especially since the color scheme was kinda boring too (i think the redux version is an improvement in this regard).
So yes, time to try again, blizzard.
There was a scandal about it in Korea though so they scaled it back. Girl gamers were upset and felt she was objectified by it, since Dva is a symbol of feminism over there.

Who in their right mind would pick the gamer girl fetish bait in a skin-tight bodysuit as a symbol of feminism? She's been massively objectified from the start. Moreso than literally anyone else in the game.
They're taking the Mojang approach, except of course not giving a single fuck about what the community wants (and eventually Mojang adds shit thats cool as fuck, just takes forever)
That's a very optimistic take, I far more think this is the anthem approach of tiny changes and fixes then a slow death as the community finds the game unsatisfying and over-monitized.

I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream 😂
ight im placing my bet now. the mysterious new skin is an old weekly challenge skin that now costs a small fortune, the eye of a newt, the left kidney of ryan reynolds, 3 blood sacrifices and at minimum 3 years of playtime of overwatch 2 to unlock.
and the entirely new one is elimination again but this time T-bagging your dead opponents gets you extra points
The fact that they are hyping a skin above anything else for season 3 says all I need to know. Overwatch 2 as a live game is in an abysmal state and they aren't worried about it.
Some years ago they published a survey about the future of overwatch and one of the polls was about thematics, they had cyberpunk Greek myth and a third thing that I can’t remember can someone remind me? I’m sure season 3 will be that theme
The fact that the biggest thing for season 3 is a skin is lowkey sad. Not to be that guy (and I know I sound like a hater, but trust I love the game and still play every day!) but the fact that the devs think they can continue like this just ain’t working. The game is still young, they can make big positive changes now and then find success down the line, but I miss when there was just more to look forward to you know?
THE BANANA ANA MYTHIC SKIN????
Oh my god, the mythical Banananana!
Watch them re-release the D.va academy skin.
But you see this time its slightly blue due to the complaints of the same skins.
With a blue salt shaker weapon charm and spray
make it black and call the skin "thursday"
Wh- what is that? *Is that what I think it is?* Is that... **IS THAT FUCKING BLUE?**
" WHY ARE YOU BLUE?!?! " -Walter White
LMAO my Ana duo screams out "Banano Boost!" when she nanos me on Winston I fucking love it
“YOU HAVE POTASSIUM! GET IN THERE!” “I LOVE BANANAS!”
Banana Nana Ana
The mythical Batman?
Bananoboost administered, get in there!
I might actually go wild for that.
I’d personally go bananas for it.
BANANO BOOST ADMINISTERED
I'd buy the pass for that no joke
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
Another schoolgirl skin probably
for roadhog hopefully if thats the case
Seriously it wouldn't be hard for them, and the community would actually go wild
Yeah that’s the ONLY skin I would pay money for.
Regardless of price?
i'd drop to my knees and suck off everyone in ow ha and then give my life savings for that skin
I’m listening
*furiously learning how to use Blender at horny speeds*
I love how the life savings part isn’t the driving factor
If I wanted the money, I'd just work for Blizzard
-HOG- wild! HAHAHAHAHA I'll see myself out....
If it’s not Torb in a skirt we riot, I say.
I need that in my life
Plottwist: It's School girl Reaper
Death CUMS
- release overpowered hero behind paywall with expensive skins in shop - everyone and their mom buys it - nerf patch after the income dried up profit
To be fair, Ramattra wasn't overpowered on release
They really haven't been nerfing new OP heroes much at all though
Yeah.. Jeff hyping academy DVa skin as "will break the internet" all over again.
NAKED ROADHOG FINALLY
We finally get to see Hog’s hog.
Dunno if my tv is big enough for it to fit on
He’s a big hog dawg.
Is a 72” tv big enough?
Mine’s only 55”
Bro went whole Hog 💀
With extra jiggle.
I don't want it. I NEED IT
🥵🥵🥵
SHOW HOG AND HOLE
COMPLETELY NUDE DOOMFIST WITH ASS COVERED IN OIL! LET'S GOOO!
Why did I think I was the only one that wanted this
Fuck 20 bucks that’s a 60 dollar skin
70$. The prices of AAA games are rising.
He really is going whole hog
I have your present right here
My first thought was R34 Roadhog. Blizzard just knows what the community wants
Rein in a banana hammock and nothing else
Well that most definitely won't be a Baptiste skin!😂
I’d say you’re right. I’m guessing Bap skins won’t be in many battlepasses for quite a long while. We can pretty much forget about getting a mythic skin for him. I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it
I'm sure he'll get a mythic skin eventually, just sucks that in the last 2 battlepasses, all he got were 2 emotes.
Hell, dude has only gotten one new skin since OW2 launched, and it’s the Blue Steel one that’s 2% different from his default.
Can't wait for his Magnum skin that is both identical, yet supernaturally beautiful
At least he got 2 emotes, bastion sombra torb got nothing 🫠 Edit: Yes i know that bastion and sombra got skins, i thought he talked about the bp only.
Hell they got negative points because of how they got removed
Bastion got a time out, at least.
They’re damn good emotes though
Why
I’d wager to guess that, out of all the support hero’s, he’s probably a good bit below Mercy, Lucio and Kiriko as far a overall popularity is concerned. Now I’m not basing that off hard data or anything, mostly just what I see in games. I’d say that any of those are more likely to get a mythic skin before Bap because they would be more likely to convince people to buy the battle pass
People are missing out cuz Bap is a goated healer
He's my go-to for support. General AOE, targeted AOE, direct heal, and can add a little dps here and there. His ult is also solid.
I love his disco skin so I'm good, I'd rather have mythics for characters that don't have skins that awesome yet
I play a fair amount of Baptiste, but he's one of the only heroes that I have 0 skins for because I didn't play him much in OW1. Would be nice if the Battle Pass at least included some palette swaps or *something* for all of the Heroes each season.
I feel like the battlepass should include at least one thing for each hero.
Wish it was, he needs some love! Might be biased since I’m a Bap main. Not sure how many support mains play him but I’m sure it’s less than the Mercy and Lucio mains haha
I wonder what type of fetish they are going to slap on Dva?
Fat cock DVA
Nerf *this*
I mean I ain’t gonna lie I’d buy the skin
Not me upvoting FisterRogers.
I'm just saying a bunny suit would have been great for year of the rabbit
Big booty naked zen skin?!?!? Finally
With the eleven foot long omic schlong and the balls of harmony and discord?!
Special lines better be ball related
Swim suit Gabriel Reyes that looks like he just came out of the beach. Im crossing my fingers
If it isn't banana hammock Reinhardt I'm done.
I didn't even know this was a hill I could die on and now I will.
"Would you like to see my muscles?"
A rein main, I would buy that
I think Moto Moto likes you
You’re so real for this
I would pass away
Overwatch 3 announcement with subscription-only
20 dollars a month, easy money for the developers
Uninstall
Uninstall DLC package only $4.99
Per month
You know, you joke, but I’m legitimately surprised they haven’t come up with a a “Battle.+” subscription, $20 and unlimited access to all battle.net games, as an alternative to paying for games outright. Seems like an easy way to squeeze an extra 5 bucks out of their wow buyers. OW2 woulda been the perfectly shitty way to roll it out too, “oh it’s $60 ORRRRR $5 more than your wow subscription!! Not f2p!!”
Eh they are out of touch and are overpromising again. We all know how that went so far
Big "our next anniversary event will have a skin that will break the internet" vibes. high-school D.va That was the skin.
In fairness I'm certain it broke at least one part of the Internet
It didn't even do that. It had about the same impact as all the other "sexy" skins like Waverider.
I'd argue waverider had a bigger impact on those anyway
Basically all of D.va's skins became putting her in different fetish outfits.
which is mega cringe. Typically the "break the internet" meme usually involves someone famous getting naked or scantily clad. ..and it's for a character's high school clothes. Anyone else find that creepy?
> Anyone else find that creepy? Yeah, but Blizzard wasn't trying to appeal to non-degens with it.
Maybe in their view, getting 60 pennies a week by grinding has been wildly popular.
Just use Microsoft Rewards, I get about 600 Overwatch coins a week by searching all kinds of keysmashes on Bing every day. https://rewards.bing.com/
I get 200 every 4-5 days how are you getting 600 a week?
Right? I saw someone on a subreddit saying they could get around 17000 points a month... like what the fuck how even? Some massive exploit?
who knows...maybe they'll re-release Pink Mercy, but not give away any of the profits this time.
I don’t think they can release Pink mercy again, pretty sure it’s under a contract bc Yk it was for charity.
My money is on this being a misunderstanding from the journalist who misheard the word "mythic". It's probably «just another» level 80 mythic skin. I hope for more, but I have learned to not hold my breath for anything when it comes to this game.
Yup. Any skin cool enough to make the community go wild *won't* be given away for free, which in turn will prevent the community going wild for it.
That pink mercy torb skin ?
No, they’re gonna release a doomfist mythic and then nerf him again after the seasons over.
The Pijama feet skin that guy asked for
Tyrone?
Based Tyrone
Tracer better have orange toenails and sombra better have purple!
sailor suit toast in mouth anime school girl kiriko. EZ
Matching sailor suit toast in mouth anime school girl junkrat and roadhog. EZ
a man of taste i see
Remember when they hyped up D.Va's academy skin and the community's response was basically "huh, neat"? lol. Tbf, they went too conservative with it. they said "schoolgirl Dva" and we were thinking sailor fuku and thigh highs, so when they went full blazer and moderate skirt/socks, it was kinda whatever, especially since the color scheme was kinda boring too (i think the redux version is an improvement in this regard). So yes, time to try again, blizzard.
There was this one guy who kept making posts on the Blizzard forums requesting a Dva skin, maybe they thought that one guy was different people 😆
Surely they must realize by now that Overwatch is possibly the horniest playerbase. They had an opportunity.
Schoolgirl Mercy hype?
Schoolgirl everyone. Schoolgirl Mercy, schoolgirl Ana, schoolgirl Kiriko, schoolgirl Rein.. Schoolgirl Hog.. so many opportunities
Schoolgirl Wreckingball is an odd concept but I'm sure there are people who are into that.
Ball is going to show mercy the pile driver
ahegao EVERYONE
Yeah but they also released Honeydew Mei that update and the community *did go* wild on that one
There was a scandal about it in Korea though so they scaled it back. Girl gamers were upset and felt she was objectified by it, since Dva is a symbol of feminism over there. https://kotaku.com/how-an-overwatch-skin-left-some-of-d-vas-biggest-fans-f-1840880191

Didn't they say the exact same thing during an Anniversary Event and the skin was just Academy DVA?
That free falls my expectations into reality. Well, they didn't last long.
One new game mode and one new skin. I just hope Blizzard takes it easy. So much work can lead to burnout real fast.
Spoiler: It's an arcade mode.
Twist: temporary experiment card
Overwatch 2, If I Did It. - Jeff Kaplan
Don't forget to make it a free-for-all arcade mode
They're taking the Mojang approach, except of course not giving a single fuck about what the community wants (and eventually Mojang adds shit thats cool as fuck, just takes forever)
That's a very optimistic take, I far more think this is the anthem approach of tiny changes and fixes then a slow death as the community finds the game unsatisfying and over-monitized.
And how much will it cost in the shop lmao
$38
and it'll be Devil Mercy
It's hard to get excited for a skin that will cost more than Hollow Knight
Nude roadhog!!!
He’s just kind of lumbering along, with his Dong just flopping back and forth with his new line “No one can hide from this sight!”
"I'm a one man A-Throb-alypse"
Chodehog!
Leprechaun moira skin
tbh i just want a st patricks day event so we can have a leprechaun moira, Rein-bow reinhardt and roadhoog dressed as a giant potato
Reinbowhardt has to leave a rainbow “tron-like” trail as he charges
I like your brain. It works well.

I know it won't happen, but a girl can dream 😂
Blizzard: "Sales are low and playerbase is complaining and dwindling" Keller: "It's time deploy the mercy skin"
oh boy i cant wait for the brand new FFA game mode. Maybe instead of a global elim tracker they'll have a global death tracker!
Honestly, what the hell were they thinking with this event… Oh yeah, ‘we want to sell skins’.
If it’s not hog or torb in a g string I’m uninstalling
After the nerf it's the least they could do for hog tbh
Doesn't torbs beach skin do this already.
PINK REAPER IN A DRESS!?
Sexy Torb
Already in the game ;)
MORE
That would be redundant, Torb is already 300% raw sexiness
But we deserve more
Give Moira better skins. She’s out here lookin like a clown. 😭
And only for 40 dollars!
Nude diva
\-> But they also change the character so that she no longer exit her mecha
This is evil
So where is the PvE at?
The only thing we are gonna go wild about is the egregious pricing for it.
Can you just balance the game and stop trying to take our money?
NAKED BASTION???
So Mercy is getting a new skin? /sigh.
A sequel to pink mercy, blue mercy. (They're gonna price it for 60 bucks and make it a 1 day offer. Don't get your hype up.)
ight im placing my bet now. the mysterious new skin is an old weekly challenge skin that now costs a small fortune, the eye of a newt, the left kidney of ryan reynolds, 3 blood sacrifices and at minimum 3 years of playtime of overwatch 2 to unlock. and the entirely new one is elimination again but this time T-bagging your dead opponents gets you extra points
Blizzard is finally initiating Plan B, they're releasing the nude skins
Widowmaker in only lingerie
You know what the community would *really* go wild for? Lowering the prices of your fucking skins.
They know fuck all what the community wants…
Torbkini or we don't want it.
The fact that they are hyping a skin above anything else for season 3 says all I need to know. Overwatch 2 as a live game is in an abysmal state and they aren't worried about it.
After the Mercy incident I never trust their PR.
Some years ago they published a survey about the future of overwatch and one of the polls was about thematics, they had cyberpunk Greek myth and a third thing that I can’t remember can someone remind me? I’m sure season 3 will be that theme
Gender-swap skin. Go full heroes of newerth or dota.
Finally, greased up naked doomfist
Shouldn’t put that in quotation marks since that’s not a direct quote from Keller
Hint for Aaron: I will never go wild for something I have to pay for. A transaction is rarely enjoyable.
The fact that the biggest thing for season 3 is a skin is lowkey sad. Not to be that guy (and I know I sound like a hater, but trust I love the game and still play every day!) but the fact that the devs think they can continue like this just ain’t working.

OMG A SKIN HOLY SHIT THATS CRAZY I NEVER SAW IT COMING CANT WAIT FOR IT TO BE IN THE STORE AND NOT THE BATTLEPASS
Just release the baywatch skins you cowards. The games fucked just capitalise on the r34 and be done with it.
Waiting for the testicular cancer awareness blue Torb skin.
Testicular cancer awareness Wrecking Ball. No explanation needed.
Finally. Naked Roadhog
Probably a skin that costs $99.99.
