Matchmaking is completely fucked for me atm, can't enter a single match. Got lucky with the one brawl I could play, I suppose.
 
Some of these new costumes just feel lazy.

Pretty much like every overwatch event so far, some costumes are fantastic, some are barely more than palette swaps. But Blizzard does occasionally put extra effort into the new skins, as they sometimes change voice lines, like mercy's ult.

Snowball fight mode is fun, but your first one is going to be rough if you don't pull up Mei's ability sheet and see that her Ultimate is completely different

I paid $20 and got every single new Epic Skin, and 4 legendaries (none of which were event themed), and got Tracer Elf in my free box. Probably not buying anymore boxes because I don't really care about Christmas themed stuff, so the only costume left I want is Winston's Yeti which I will just craft at the end of the period if I don't get him in an earned loot box

Honestly, this feels like the weakest batch of skins so far. Winston's cool, Zenyatta too, the others... eh

That widow intro though.

Fantastic emote for Mccree and love me some of the new skins like Pharah's and Tracer's.

Pharah's new voice line though, that and Dva continues to have the best VA and lines

Wish reaper was still in the meta, could definitely see me using his new voice line after every kill

And a Zarya emote that costs 3k

Yeah her skin is the only one I'm disappointed in. Boring af

I was thinking the same thing. One of my favorite characters to play, and yet she has probably one of the worst batch of costumes out there.

At least everyone else looks pretty solid.

I've been saving my 3k waiting for Mei's seasonal skin, THE season for Mei, and all I got was a blue skin with a Santa hat for 3k.

zarya's legendary emote is 1 really long as theres 3 possible things she does and 2 unexpected (at least the bear one)

While I do like the zen/tracer/hog skins, I will just hope to get them as drops and not buy them. I will for sure be getting pharah's and reapers skins though even if I have to buy them with credits. Really want that zarya emote (also I like her skin)
 
I LOVE how nutcracker zen's balls are nuts.

they aren't his regular orbs painted to look like nuts.

they're just straight up nuts.

incredible.

That Pharah skin is actually really nice... probably the only one of the bunch I'd actually use.

I'd be way more into these events and skins and stuff if they actually carried over between platforms. I'm on PS4 right now, but I know I'll eventually switch to PC and have to start over, so I have basically no motivation to go for any of this stuff now.


yup.

Anyone remember the name of the studio that helped blizzard with the halloween/summer games skins? I wanted to see if they also helped out here as well

Zarya skin is lazy as fuck as well. Why didn't they give DVa some Xmas colors either. They're so half-assed

Awesome. Very glad they are embracing a Christmas theme for winter and not shying away from it in fear it will insult those than do not celebrate it. Back in the day a ton of games had Christmas themes, now they all but ignore it.

Honestly not really feeling most of those skins. Definitely not really anything there that would immediately have me jumping to buy loot crates, unlike Halloween.

There isn't really much creativity here, and seriously, enough fucking tracer skins.
