Since they've moved to a F2P model, they're only gonna care about the characters that make them the most money in skin sales. League has the same problem. There was a top laner that went like 2 full years before he got a new skin after his release skin. Skin sales numbers are all they care about now.
Can you truly blame them tho? In a f2p game if they don't do such things how do you espect them to earn the money needed to pay bills and keep the game itself working?
They try so hard to please the Mercy mains because they KNOW that the Mercy mains are the whales of this game. They always spend large amounts of money on the game
People sleeping on Rein mains. They get overally pretty mid skins aside from a few great ones and they still eat it up. If they release a lifeguard rein skin sales will skyrocket trust.
Is blizzard the simp or are we the simps? Blizzard shows favoritism to the characters WE the community like. People eat up mercy skins. They got pushback on the skins and gave refunds. The community doesn’t care blizzard doesn’t care either
The sad part is that Juno will most likely get a legendary skin than Venture. Just looking at Juno's character and her overall design, you can tell that they tried SOOOOO hard making her into a waifu. From her mannerisms like the forced cute interactions with Ashe and Rein to her doe eyed, naive personality. It was a character made to sell skins. The thing is, I really like Juno but it was obvious Blizzard created her to sell skins. It's agitating because Venture: A character who got me back into Overwatch was shafted with uninspiring skins. At least Juno is a better character than Kiriko who is all sorts of bland and is shoved down our throats every other season.
Sex sells since venture is just a non binary. Ain't no sexy female not selling. I even told myself when I was looking at Juno, "there's gonna be R34 art of her" sure enough 430+pics.
Literally my thoughts as well. It’s also gross they made her so childlike, with her being innocent and naive and sweet and stuff, and made her physically short, but then also decided to give her the standardised suction fitted latex leggings. It’s so disappointing, but not surprising given how they treated DVA, who was only 18 in the first game
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised she’s built like her and similar I swear If bowl haircut gets a skin before venture imma actually flip a table (as someone who actually does like Juno LOL)
The only reason I don't play sojourn is because her skins suck. The formal wear was the best one, but I couldn't afford it because I bought the cass formal wear instead. It sucks because in ow1 everyone got a cool ass skin at some point, esp during the events.
I hate so much how fan favorite characters like Mercy got a load of skins while characters like Bap and Venture don’t get any skins. Blizzard give us a venture and Bap skins please!!!
if i had a nickel (nickle?) for every time blizzard introduced a new poster child that looks the exact same as the other ones, i'd have 4 nickles... which isnt much but its weird that it happened 4 times (dva, tracer, kiriko, & now definitely juno).
I hate how they also treat Junkrat too, they have given him very little amount of love and his newest skin in months is a bad recolor locked in the battle pass, also they balance him like shit ever since the season nine changes and wont buff him and Hanzo, even tho they desperately need them badly. moral of the story: Give love to all characters, no matter the way they look or play.
You’re right! Honestly junk rat needs some love too. His battle pass skin is actually so bad 🤢 tbh the last good skin he had (imo) is probably krampus. All the characters even if they’re annoying to play against *cough cough* sombra deserve the same amount of love and treatment as the stereotypical attractive characters like Mercy. 🦅🇺🇸🫡
I call them the "overwatch gooner bait heroes" with my friends. they will always get all the love, just like Kiriko, Juno will get her 10th Legendary before venture gets 1. but hey that's what makes them money, so why would they do anything different :/
I was an Aztec Sombra buyer. I'm trying to collect all of sombras skins and it hurt to have it come out for free. All my friends laughed at me being upset about it and one said I was gatekeeping but like... no I'm not. I just was upset my money went to waste 😭
@@maddisonjay5698 no I completely understand that tbh I would totally get feeling upset! You spent 19 bucks on that skin that you’re never going to get back it’s really annoying
I also bought aztec sombra (the second time it came into shop rotation.) Honestly, what hurts more is "I got the skin for free" teasing from people. I am all for free skins. Not everybody is irresponsible with money. For me To expect a refund (not really a refund if you get coins back and not your actual money) for a skin I purchased almost a year ago is pretty insane. Aztec sombra was released December 2022. I have come to accept that when I buy skins, I am essentially paying for early access. Eventually some of the skins will be dated and may be free.
@@SpiderG1296 I'm all for free skins too but IMO it's a little different when you originally had to pay actual money for it ie: Cardboard rein recolor. I spent like 20 bucks on the OG cardboard rein just for them to re-release it in a half baked winter wonderland game mode
i spent money on the art deco symmettra skin, and then it became free through twitch drops… I got the drop, thinking maybe theyd compensate me with some free credits or smth but they didnt lmao. people get mad at the disappointed players that a skin is now made free, saying “dont gatekeep, your mad that you spent x amount of money, its just a skin, not the content of the game.” half the content of the game now is cosmetic. theres nothing else to expect from this game, theres no hope for new modes, or even old modes being made available. theres no PVE, meaning no new lore for the game either. theres nothing else to look towards BESIDES the cosmetics now, sadly. so, if I buy a skin, and it later becomes free, yeah I want my money back. Or some compensation of in game currency. The shop is lead by the idea that youll miss out on the skins ‘FOREVER’ if you dont get them, its so heavily geared on FOMO. they dont come back in the summer/halloween/christmas events, like they used to. theyre unavailable, forever, unless brought back spontaneously. even with OG overwatch 1 skins, like scientist and blackwatch moira. and recently they made the summer ana skin available again but only for OW2 coins… it makes people more eager to spend their money for an OVERPRICED skin that ‘might not come back’. im so sad to see the direction that this game is going into.
I agree but honestly if you spent money on these skins you should be entitled to a refund. 🗿 like at least the cardboard rein skin when it was free was a recolor(so I wasn’t as salty) so it made me feel a little less bad. But when they just recycle and reuse at the expense of people who bought the skins then you should get a refund like the owl mercy players 🗿🗿🗿especially the legendary ones
I just want to talk about Venture not getting skins on their release. I'm always really wary about characters that are from a minority group not getting the same treatment as other characters who are not from a minority group. I've played games before where they would make openly gay, or non binary, or POC characters only to just completely ignore them and treat them as decoration, like "look guys we have *insert minority group here* come play our game". But at the same time I can understand making skin especially at the rate OW does can be really hard, and some characters are just easier to make skins for than others. I also know that Blizzard hires freelancer artists to draw their skin concepts so something could have happened with the artist, family emergency, too much of a current work load, literally anything. If it becomes a pattern of minority characters not getting the same treatment as non minority characters it's going to look really suspicious. I don't know if it's already suspicious since I would still consider myself new to the game so I don't know if there're more examples than just Venture
@@fruitbowl_IDV with venture I only know they didn’t really get much with their release I hope that blizzard isn’t just purposely neglecting venture but so far I actually noticed since venture there hasn’t been legendaries (free ones with the ow coins) mauga hasn’t gotten anything so I dunno if this is a new thing HOWEVER I do not think it’s fair for them to prance them around without giving them the same treatment as Kiri or any other character. The LGBTQ character that are there ie: bap and lw do get skins
its not about venture being non binary, it is about their overall style and gameplay. Saying that lgbtq characters in Overwatch get less skins is not true, especially while looking at Tracer, Pharah and Soldier. The issue with Venture is their style and how they are played. Most people find them annoying, mostly due to their kit. Nor does Venture have the appeal that most players look for. Since Overwatch is now free 2 play, the skins will be focused on the top popular characters, that way they make the most money. Characters being annoying = less skins. Characters not meeting "cute" standards = less skins.
@@makoaman1831 oops let me clarify I knew that but I meant when the character is released they get two other skins with it like the illari lord Farquad skin or the LW George Washington I meant like those ones 😅
It would be so easy to design skins for Venture. Star-nosed mole with a claw gun. Magma skin with a volcano gun. Dinosaur bone armor/archeologist skin with a velociraptor skeleton gun. Ancient Roman Emporer skin with a pillar gun. Egyptian royal servant skin with a pyramid gun. That's from 5 minutes of brainstorming and each could be legendary if not mythic.
7:01 Black Swan is a shop skin and it didnt came out with his release, Phi Ta Khon, the Battle Pass skin did 7:43 and 12:21 Venture's Ice Cream skin is an Epic, the bundle was 1200 overwatch coins (12$), not 20$ and only came with an emote, which you can both purchase seperately 8:03 Venture's Monarch skin is a Rare recolor. 13:11 Lifeweaver has gotten six shop and two battle pass skins since his release 7 seasons ago, he definitely shouldnt be included in that list This is a very important video, it speaks about something blizzard NEEDS to hear. Venture got screwed over hard, and there are many characters that get neglected in this game. Definitely agree with a lot of points made in this video. I'm sorry if I came off as rude, I just wanted to clear these up. This is still a very good video!
tbh I don’t think buying a skin makes anyone entitled to having exclusive rights to that skin forever, you pay to get the skin when you get it, what happens later is none of your concern. but that's just my opinion as someone who absolutely hates any and all kinds of exclusivity, and I’d much rather give new players an opportunity to earn a skin they maybe missed or didn’t wanna spend money on (cuz the prices are all obscene). though at the end of the day, the main problem is just the new monetization model they introduced with the shop, back with lootboxes nobody would feel scammed when newer players get an older skin, cuz nobody ever paid for a skin directly except with ow credits. it’s also why the same characters keep getting skins now while others are left to rot, it’s just a shitty base system and they honestly boxed themselves in a corner with it.
Guys, give Blizzard a break, they are a small indie company. Honestly HONESTLY.. We both know that Blizzard is going to give Juno some legendary. I swear. 😭🙏 It does sound messed up but.... 10:00 I think so. ALSO I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN DOING WELL KIMI
@@d3cayingc0rpse I’ve been doing good! Hbu? I just haven’t been able to respond/upload last week since I was out of town at my tio’s wedding The damn pretty privilege is too real 🫡🥲
@@OkayyKimi I hope you had a great time out there! I've been doing great too! Honestly I just can't wait until season 12 is here. Things have been so stale lately in game. I just hope Blizzard stops being lazy and just start making skins for characters who get nothing. It wasn't this bad during Ow1 days 😔
@@d3cayingc0rpse it was fun! Thanks for asking ^^ tbh I do miss the old Overwatch 1 games (I miss my group 😭😭😭) I agree though ow hasn’t been the greatest for me at least honestly I hope Juno’s release will add some MUCH needed spice and this new season will give out DECENT skins to venture and other neglected characters instead of focusing on the stereotypical cute characters 🗿
@@OkayyKimi Yw:) You gotta get the group back together! I'm hopeful that Juno's release will spice things up a bit. And that season 12 wont just be skins then call it a wrap... Fingers crossed we get some much needed skins for our neglected characters 🤞
I thought i was the only one who felt off about Juno's release. Its sad that the only way the devs can get engagement is when they put in another fair skin waifu character
In Overwatch, a character needs to either be cute ( D.Va ), hot ( JQ ) or stereotypically cool ( Genji ) to get skins. Poor venture doesn’t fit into any of those.
@@Divine_general_raga Dont get me wrong I think Venture is awesome, but they don’t have flashy lights or a cape or big ol’ hammer, and they’re not a cowboy or a ninja or a robot or anything like that. Hence why I say stereotypically cool.
@@gregwilliams4926 ikr they didn’t even have the decency to change it even just a bit 🗿 Oh yeah fuck the mythic weapon I already talked shit about that LOL
I came back to this game after a 5 year hiatus mostly to see what the game is up to. Saw the battle pass giving 600 coins instead of at least the buy in price. You know, the common courtesy that pretty much every other game company does. And now with how many skins I'm seeing for characters I don't play I was excited to see the skins for the characters I do play! I think I got maybe 2 skins total across the characters that weren't new releases. I'm honestly so sad.
you be shock how this video sums up pretty much other games and how they favor more cuter or hot female characters then other characters biggest sample is league of legends
To be fair the mercy skin thing was mostly because it returned in the shop a week or two before the Amazon reward was available while it’s possible that it was def the mercy player out cry it was them trying to stay face with the odd timing of everything but I think refunds only went to people who bought around that time(which it was like 8 months after the skin came out) on the other hand I think it’s fine for blizzard to use the skins that didn’t sell the greatest for twitch drops or other ways to earn free rewards and even the anniversary credit thing if they bring that back from last year which I do hope but yeah I think it’s fine while I understand the frustration of not feeling it’s fair to have a skin you pay actual money for I feel you also have to understand that they’d like to give opportunities to worth wild rewards ie shop skins, and if a skin that honestly less than 1000 got then why not give the millions a free skin if most people weren’t gonna buy it anyways do feel the deal with zarya and venture (being a venture play) is rough tho zarya skins always sucked mostly so hard to say if just getting nothing is worse, you can also tell what characters are shop primarily characters (kiri,mercy,lifeweaver,Reinhardt) Bp characters so character they wanna make skins for but don’t get a lot of effort or trust them going to the shop (Wreaking Ball,junk or Lucio) and just characters that will likely be free drops most the time(sombra and sym/art deco was a twitch drop and went to credit shop later XD) and zarya were they just don’t know what to do, venture is at least new and maybe they just wanna be careful and mindful of putting them in something gender neutral and are struggling a bit but I do feel they have good plans for them just actually planning the release of these things were done awkwardly
The whole double dipping/recolor stuff with skins is why I only grab the pass and starter bundles that have skin/coins along with Bing rewards. It sucks that Amazon is ending their free skins but there's still Twitch. It's eye rolling when you think Kiriko won't get a skin for the season just for Blizzard to drop one last second but people are out here buying them. Where is the Venture Diglett skin? I got load of credits and all they get is what two new shadow dropped highlight intros and an emote? Illari got that amethyst skin after she launched.
I really do appreciate these rant videos of yours. Like none of the big names really focus on the problems since they're (insert sellout word here). Like they'll barely mention it and retain this 'I'm neutral so I don't have people disagree with me' sort of attitude and to someone like me that's like them saying 'I have no opinion on this and that's my opinion' sort of stance. While you actually say what you want to say and point out things without worrying yourself head over heels about someone disagreeing with you and I respect the hell out of that.
Thank you 🫡 tbh I’m surprised I don’t see more videos on the topics or rants I decide to do I always assumed it’s cause big names are being paid by blizzard i wish it was more like the sim community cause even big TH-camrs talk shit about packs 🗿
@@ashqly73 thank you! 🥺 but yeah the pretty privilege is too much 😔 which is wild cause I do think Zarya is pretty (I personally love her workout skin)
its frustrating the clear favoritsim, as a ramattra/d.va main to watch junker queen, kiriko all get mythics on release and kiriko getting constant skins is so frustrating
Unfortunately, Blizzard started making character that looks like your average walmart people stand side by side to actual model/figure people. So some characters are just gonna get more skin than others. Unfortunately, unless if they go full creative or funny skin way, then yeah, don't expect much
you’re so right, me and my best friend actually talk about similar critiques bc we play this game the most together lol. i will say from my perspective, mauga did have skins when he first came out but i can’t remember if it was like immediately or within a few days or weeks but he did get like a lava/magma skin, bonesplinter which was battlepass i think and the cowboy bebop shop skin. all of those skins are now unavailable which is crazy lmfao. they couldve made ONE skin available
Im sure someone said this already but i think the lack of skins at release lately reflects the lay offs, they fired the ppl who were making these skins TT Skins could be in the making but missing things like 3d models or art direction bc Blizzard fired half the art team ):
venture was released around the time when they laid off a lot of people in the company . skins can take up to a year to make as they told us months ago im guessing blizzard didnt have any skins poses or intros ready before their release which sucks .
I was one that bought the Aztec Sombra skin when it came out in the store. I was very annoyed at the clear favoritism that blizzard showed for mercy players with the owl skin but nothing for the players that owned Aztec Sombra from the store purchase. Also you forgot to mention art deco symmetra outfit. This outfit for symmetra was first available in the store for real money and that’s how I received the outfit before, it was later made free in twitch drops. Also I’m an Illari main and I wished she got more love, she didn’t get a summer outfit with kiriko, lifeweaver, and mauga, but mercy and pharah and junk rat got ugly recolor outfits that just took up space in the store and battle pass. More love needs to be given by blizzard to the underrated characters and blizzard needs to stop leeching money from us with these bs favoritism tactics. : (
Illari was the LAST hero to release with free epics and legendaries buyable with ow credits Then Mauga released and he only had rares and 2 legendaries, one in the bp and one in the ult bp bundle (so only the rares were free) And now we got Venture where they're just like Mauga but even worse, with not even an epic skin in the bp (they got one later on in the shop) Literally how hard would it have been to put the tropical shirt Mauga as a base legendary or make the talon Mauga skin from the comics and put it there, or make the Venture skin a base epic
I feel like they convinced so many people to play Mercy, a character who doesn't usually shoot a gun in a shooter game all the time that they just want to keep those players there as much as humanly possible
On Xbox if you have game pass, you get free rewards for some games. The two ones I know about are the emo Kiriko purple one and the Rammatra Transformers one.
It'd be cool to have a community event where people design skins for characters they like, and Blizzard either chooses one (for each character) or gathers a select amount of skins per character for the community to vote for (once again, only 1 skin per character). Idk how money would work, or if they'd be free/challenge skins, but it would be fun & give (for example) Venture mains some hope lol
i bought the cardboard Rein pack, and when it came out in winter BP, i was just like: “okay i guess i already have it, and entire BP isn’t worth it for me”
I don't know why they don't put more effort into the shop considering its the main way they make money now. If the interface was better, they updated it more regularly and the skins weren't bundled up with useless stuff to overinflate the price, I'm sure their sales would double so I don't know why they don't do it. I know it isn't the most in-demand update but still it's baffling to me
I might be alone on this but I feel like Dva has also been snubbed since OW2 released. Other than than the original EDM skin from the 1st battle pass and that God awful turtle ship skin the only skins she's gotten have been corny collab skins or recolors (or a combination of the two, looking at you 2 EDM recolors). It's like the only time she gets a skin is when they need to do a sponsorship collab (EDM recolors that just added *insert brand* sunglasses, Porsche, k-pop, etc). She's basically become a Nascar driver where she has no identity of her own and instead is defined by her sponsors.
Blizzards not the only company that does this I play dead by daylight add the companies name is behavior and they also neglect certain characters based on their pick rate, whether it be survivors or killers Twins, one of the Lord picked killers, and she hardly gets anything I don’t think she’s got the skin in a while hattiey is a good example of a character that has it gotten skin in a while like I’m pretty sure she has a nice community but nonetheless people still player but yeah, I feel bad for people that have A character as a main and they have a Nice community cause you guys literally get nothing but I also feel like the characters that don’t get skin is also a reason why people don’t mean that character as well because I don’t have any skins also, I guarantee you that Junel is going to get a lot of skins. She’s probably gonna be the new caracal.
@@agentvenom3342 I’m actually not familiar with dead by daylight! But tbh that does make sense. It just sucks for the small communities that are just shoved into the background
@@OkayyKimi oh I know I’m not saying that it’s right, I’m just saying, I think it happens and other companies besides blizzards It sucks Because behavior did hire extra people so that they can up the production of cosmetics so that more characters got love but now it doesn’t seem like they’re doing that. It also probably didn’t help that they got affected by the layoffs probably
I cant deny that there is some amount of favoritism going on especially with Mercy. She is the most popular charater in the game afterall and yea that does suck but blizzard is a company they gotta make money and if they can have someone whos paid 12 bucks an hour make a mercy skin thats gonna make blizzard 1mil or make a different skin thats gonna make them 50k they are going to make the mercy skin. they are obligated to their shareholders and those want only one thing and thats money. On the toppic of making skins its not thaaat easy to make sth thats not a straight recolor (im a 3D artist myself that shiss takes time) but ultimatly i think that team 4 got f-ed real bad by the layoffs. The content mashine has to go on but microsoft axed half the team so no origin story and no cool skins. maybe once they reorient themselves we will get more stuff only time will tell.
I can understand giving more skins to heroes whose skins sell better, but you have to give new heroes skins to test the waters first so it seems an odd business decision. Maybe the art team was stretched too thin behind the scenes at the time?
Venture was probably one of the most interesting characters to be released. I don't really care about the character design or personality, just the moveset. Its so basic, yet you can do a lot of cool stuff with it. But then Venture gets zero good skins..
Would love to hear your thoughts how some characters like Junkerqueen are different characters in their in game vs their character video I also just love JunkerQueen and the Junker characters
1: I think Venture is cute, although I'm also the weird guy to most that thinks Taliyah in League is adorable 2: I love Kiriko, but even I'm getting tired of her getting shit what feels like every other day, there's other characters that could use some love 3: ¨Bust a titty¨ is a phrase I never knew I needed to hear
Blizzard should make the skins un-purchasable for a bit before they become free, so someone doesn’t buy them then it immediately becomes free. It’s just good consumer practice but this is blizzard here lol. Also I feel like the venture skin situation is genuinely insane, I saw a post in the venture sub where someone thought their skin list was bugged because it was so small months after their release lmao
Yeah they actually have so little if I’m not mistaken venture has only two epic skins 🗿 while Mauga has 3 legendaries from the top of my head and I think he was out after venture 🗿
@@OkayyKimi Venture’s only epic is the ice cream skin, everything else is rare. They do actually have two other epic skins but I don’t think those r obtainable atm and are basically straight up recolors
i bought the aztec sombra, starbucks Sojourn & medusa widow, just for them to be obtainable for free. i’m happy for the people that are getting it for free, but i just wish i didn’t spend the bread to get it if that was the case
10:06 Thats the exact reason lol. Venture isnt a super lewdable character like Kiriko, dva, or Juno now. The characters that are seen as the “cute” or “hot” kind get the most attention and its super obvious. There have been so many seperate occasions where Kiriko got a skin or something in an event she had ZERO business being in. And now I can guarantee you Juno will get minimum 2 legendarys on release
As a soon to be Juno main, i dont really like the point that juno shouldn't get base legendaries, because its not like itll stop the bigger issue going on. A point not brought up was every since mauga, the skins we've been getting for the newer characters were pretty small. Mauga a also didnt come with 2 bade credit skins. Now dont get me wrong i understand hes gotten more focus than venture, but to me who enjoys playing them both, i just wish when juno comes out they go back and at least give those two the same lover as well as juno. If blizzard goes 3 for 3 to stop people from using their legacy credits to get new skins, thats just gonna suck for any character going foward.
Venture is very fun to play one good skin should sell decent, especially now that it's been this long with nothing, personally i rock giza for the red drill, looks good with the fire decal. With Venture it's the little things
So true. People want everything free in life without ever wanting to earn the money to buy their own luxuries in life. Also, what’s the difference between this and the Pink Mercy debacle? People were happy that skin came back and now people are angry that other once paid to get skins are being free through challenges or whatever. What’s the difference? Oh, because it’s free and some people made a willing choice to spend money on that skin that is now free? Boohoo. I guess losing $10 to $20 for most people means going in debt for life or they’re just extremely cheap people or they’re just little kids who have to beg their mommies and daddies to use their credit cards to spend a couple of dollars lol
Mercy is my favorite character but I honestly think she deserves to have a skin famine for an entire year and let other characters who rarely get skins get a chance to for once
8:13 you know.. this is why I consider the OW2 Devs to be homophobes in reality, since they revealed life weaver (who can be easily ridiculed as a wife leaver with simple switching of the letters), they heavily advertised him as the first pansexual hero of Overwatch and released him in an underpowered wimpy state.. kinda like if they wanted to stick it to pansexual people.
I remember someone saying the developers didn't even like Venture as a character, which, even if not true, I can definitely tell there's something up with the way Blizzard keeps ignoring them. The least they could do was clear the air and say, "Hey, the layoffs were rough; please give us time." But this radio silence is incredibly telling about what their intentions were when releasing this hero; it's pandering. Lifeweaver too... While he's getting some love, he's still the worst support in the game. I have no idea what's up with Blizzard these days.
@@BonelessFry I can see how Venture as a Hero is Pandering. Juno less though but it's true, their radio silence is deafening, especialy ironic when Aaron Keller said that they were looking to ways to be more transparent.. months ago!

I already dont want to support blizzard but the aztec skin just was the final straw for me to not give them another cent. I was of the ppl that bought OW1 thinking it had a campaign like COD, i realized it didnt and I fell in love with the different heroes and landed into the support role as no one would ever play a healer 😅. Now I really dont care with how they take the game bc Im not putting any more money in it, they canceled PVE, im free. I enjoy the new heroes and the shake ups but I barely play the game.

Also, I didn’t know they refunded for the OWL skin, that’s so unfair to everyone else! I think us mercy mains need to start fighting for the others to get fair treatment :/ great video though, I completely agree with everything you said in the video. 😊
Didn't they experiment with lowering skin prices? Or was that just a rumor? Anyhow, poor, poor Rock Muncher isn't the first time they've been using the LGBTQIA+-community to look better or to try to "gain points" or something. Back when they cancelled the PVE, they then went radio silent for two weeks, and then, they released a pride event, and never said anything about how much they lied to us. And with a bunch of the allegations back in 2021, they made a short story for Soldier where they gave us info about his ex bf or something. Still, if they don't give poor Rock Muncher a skin soon, but they continue with shitty ass Kiriko, I swear to god.
I’m not sure about that tbh right now the skins in the shop are 28 for the bundles so I dunno if they’re still doing it LOL Ah yes I remember that day felt like they pulled a Voltron
im a mercy main and a venture main and the difference in how they treat the communities is insane, even I'm getting annoyed by her amount of skins cause I cant buy them all. atp I just save my money to buy the crumbs of skins they make for illari and (hopefully) venture. Im actually so scared about juno coming out cause I know shes gonna be a favorite and shes gonna get all the new skins, leaving venture neglected AGAIN😭😭
The Sombra community needs to mergre with us in the Mercy Mafia. ( I can't speak for the another members of The Mercy Mafia) but i assume we'll back yall?
Ramattra got absolutely mess up this upcoming season. We were supposed to have a tank mythic this season, and instead of the Anubus (the god of death, the god who judges your soul and sees which path you go to next) going to Ramattra it went to REAPER! Because god of death guys right? Hahahaha Reaper hates everyone so he gets to god of death skin. But no! Anubis doesn't work that way, Anubis is not a reaper of death but a judge of death! And that would've been perfect for Ramattra! Ramattra has also gotten pretty bad skins lately. I would never use the Monk skins since they're really boring for legendaries. The Poseidon skin is pretty good, I use the Primordal skin the most, and The Baron skin is alright but not the best. He's gotten a few shop skins but I haven't seen a BP skin in a while. Justice for Venture though. Absolutely got awful treatment. I called out the fact that they don't have a legendary skin despite Venture being out for TWO SEASONS. It's really crazy.
Don’t worry Kimi Venture will get a Skin! … Right after they give Juno 4 Legendary’s behind Mercy getting another 2 and finally another Kiriko Skin! Season 16 guys! Keep up the Venture Hype a little longer!
As a mercy main, I hope everyone can get some skins and attention. I think we have enough now, let my wallet rest blizzard. But I will say that I understand why. We are the ones playing the game and putting money into it, so it makes sense that we get the most profit wise. And at the end of the day, they’re a greedy company like all the others.
Although I understand why it never hurts to try and give some skins out to other communities or even make them in the BP 🥲 (as another fellow mercy main)
Ok first time here and I like the video and your editing style but for people who watch this on anything bigger then a 24inch monitor just be prepared that the gameplay goes really pixelated. I would recommend recording at a higher resolution or turn off resampling if possible! Anyway great video and keep it coming ❤
Thank you! But I’m sorry though I didn’t realize! Tbh I play on the lowest of the low LOL but I’ll try to record on a higher resolution so it looks decent ! Thank you for letting me know though ! 💕
As a venture main, god I’m just sad for the content drought we’re in. They released with nothing, the next season they got nothing, and they’re definitely not getting anything while Juno is most definitely getting a ton of skins
I’m not even a venture main but I feel you venture has been done dirty since the beginning first pranced for their first non-binary character just to only get two skins (twitch drop/ice cream)
Great video, agree with the sentiment, im tired of Blizz's shameless simp abuse. Venture is genuinely an untapped gold mine of ideas, their happy go lucky, bubbly personality mixed with the broken shackles of gender literally means venture can be ANYTHING. Like, what if venture had a super hero skin called rockman and they wore this goofy inflatable muscleman suit with a cape and mask? Even goofiness aside, they could just have some genuinely nice looking fem/masc outfits. The fact they were skipped over should be an absolute crime. Now all we have to look forward to is waifu number 25, space kiriko. How utterly boring. But hey, better for me I guess, I get to keep my money yet again...
Yo...they actually gave refunds to the people who bought the Owl Mercy skin??? That is so unlike Blizzard to be chartible. If they're going to continue making paid skins eventually become free (they did with 3 of them for the 2024 Anniversary: Ram, Bap, and Soldier btw) then they should DEFINITELY give automatic coin refunds to the players who bought those skins previously. It doesn't cost them any money to dump some virtual coins into players' accounts, and it doesn't scare off buyers from being concerned about wasting money to get them ASAP either. I don't think the Venture neglect is due to them being nonbinary... Not only did they get a little animated short and a comic on their release, but we wouldn't have gotten them in the first place if whoever's in charge was that bigoted. (Not to mention TONS of LGBT+ icons and name cards and a Pride variant of Midtown.) I think they just got lazy with Venture's skins at release, tested the waters with the ice cream and Twitch skin, saw not many people wanted them, and haven't bothered since. Juno's a conventionally attractive girl and she didn't get any legendaries at release! (Though she did get the MHA collab skin and is soon to get another legendary in Season 14.)
@@OkayyKimi my guess is that maybe because she’s niche her skins are put in the BP since it’s less likely people will go out of their way to buy a skin for her from the shop, either way I got like 30 minutes on Sym I don’t want anymore skins for her 😭

Since they've moved to a F2P model, they're only gonna care about the characters that make them the most money in skin sales. League has the same problem. There was a top laner that went like 2 full years before he got a new skin after his release skin. Skin sales numbers are all they care about now.
Venture
@@АртёмТор-к2ю they are completely ignoring Venture lol
Skins sales in f2p tittles are a self full filling prophecy popular character get more skins and are more popular becuase they get more skins
Can you truly blame them tho? In a f2p game if they don't do such things how do you espect them to earn the money needed to pay bills and keep the game itself working?
They try so hard to please the Mercy mains because they KNOW that the Mercy mains are the whales of this game. They always spend large amounts of money on the game
People sleeping on Rein mains. They get overally pretty mid skins aside from a few great ones and they still eat it up. If they release a lifeguard rein skin sales will skyrocket trust.
As a non-whale mercy main, I must say that I DO NOT need more mercy skins
OMG NOT TO MENTION SOJOURN TOO, THEY DID HER SO DIRTY 😭 LIKE GIVE MY GIRL SOME LOVE
BRUHHH they’re literally leaving her out to dry she needs some loving
Bro the sojourn ptsd has some players let it cool down for a bit then give her love
Is blizzard the simp or are we the simps? Blizzard shows favoritism to the characters WE the community like. People eat up mercy skins.
They got pushback on the skins and gave refunds. The community doesn’t care blizzard doesn’t care either
The sad part is that Juno will most likely get a legendary skin than Venture. Just looking at Juno's character and her overall design, you can tell that they tried SOOOOO hard making her into a waifu. From her mannerisms like the forced cute interactions with Ashe and Rein to her doe eyed, naive personality. It was a character made to sell skins. The thing is, I really like Juno but it was obvious Blizzard created her to sell skins. It's agitating because Venture: A character who got me back into Overwatch was shafted with uninspiring skins. At least Juno is a better character than Kiriko who is all sorts of bland and is shoved down our throats every other season.
odd they make another Asian female character like this...
Sex sells since venture is just a non binary. Ain't no sexy female not selling. I even told myself when I was looking at Juno, "there's gonna be R34 art of her" sure enough 430+pics.
Juno def getting a mythic before venture lol
In all honesty Venture's design is Hella annoying. Not the biggest fan of Juno's either tbf
Literally my thoughts as well. It’s also gross they made her so childlike, with her being innocent and naive and sweet and stuff, and made her physically short, but then also decided to give her the standardised suction fitted latex leggings. It’s so disappointing, but not surprising given how they treated DVA, who was only 18 in the first game
Crazy, I feel like Juno is about to get the Kiriko treatment 💀
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised she’s built like her and similar I swear If bowl haircut gets a skin before venture imma actually flip a table (as someone who actually does like Juno LOL)
@@OkayyKimi bowl cut gonna get one before venture, I'll put money on it
The only reason I don't play sojourn is because her skins suck. The formal wear was the best one, but I couldn't afford it because I bought the cass formal wear instead. It sucks because in ow1 everyone got a cool ass skin at some point, esp during the events.
I hate so much how fan favorite characters like Mercy got a load of skins while characters like Bap and Venture don’t get any skins. Blizzard give us a venture and Bap skins please!!!

I was thinking the same when I saw the Sombra skin being free, they really should offer refunds to those who bought it
if i had a nickel (nickle?) for every time blizzard introduced a new poster child that looks the exact same as the other ones, i'd have 4 nickles... which isnt much but its weird that it happened 4 times (dva, tracer, kiriko, & now definitely juno).
I hate how they also treat Junkrat too, they have given him very little amount of love and his newest skin in months is a bad recolor locked in the battle pass, also they balance him like shit ever since the season nine changes and wont buff him and Hanzo, even tho they desperately need them badly. moral of the story: Give love to all characters, no matter the way they look or play.
You’re right! Honestly junk rat needs some love too. His battle pass skin is actually so bad 🤢 tbh the last good skin he had (imo) is probably krampus.
All the characters even if they’re annoying to play against *cough cough* sombra deserve the same amount of love and treatment as the stereotypical attractive characters like Mercy. 🦅🇺🇸🫡
Nah junkrat and hanzo players can stay in the mud. Annoying characters should be bad. Good players can make em work regardless
@@OkayyKimi also hi
@@randomlygamer1696 howdy!
@@webbacon7106if junk is annoying to you you must micro plastic 5 rank
I call them the "overwatch gooner bait heroes" with my friends. they will always get all the love, just like Kiriko, Juno will get her 10th Legendary before venture gets 1.
but hey that's what makes them money, so why would they do anything different :/
I was an Aztec Sombra buyer. I'm trying to collect all of sombras skins and it hurt to have it come out for free. All my friends laughed at me being upset about it and one said I was gatekeeping but like... no I'm not. I just was upset my money went to waste 😭
@@maddisonjay5698 no I completely understand that tbh I would totally get feeling upset! You spent 19 bucks on that skin that you’re never going to get back it’s really annoying
Did they not even give you a coin refund? It would cost them nothing.
@@wellplayed6061 no i messaged blizzard support after it happended and they said they couldnt do that 😭😭😭
I also bought aztec sombra (the second time it came into shop rotation.) Honestly, what hurts more is "I got the skin for free" teasing from people. I am all for free skins. Not everybody is irresponsible with money. For me To expect a refund (not really a refund if you get coins back and not your actual money) for a skin I purchased almost a year ago is pretty insane. Aztec sombra was released December 2022. I have come to accept that when I buy skins, I am essentially paying for early access. Eventually some of the skins will be dated and may be free.
@@SpiderG1296 I'm all for free skins too but IMO it's a little different when you originally had to pay actual money for it ie: Cardboard rein recolor. I spent like 20 bucks on the OG cardboard rein just for them to re-release it in a half baked winter wonderland game mode
i spent money on the art deco symmettra skin, and then it became free through twitch drops… I got the drop, thinking maybe theyd compensate me with some free credits or smth but they didnt lmao. people get mad at the disappointed players that a skin is now made free, saying “dont gatekeep, your mad that you spent x amount of money, its just a skin, not the content of the game.”
half the content of the game now is cosmetic. theres nothing else to expect from this game, theres no hope for new modes, or even old modes being made available. theres no PVE, meaning no new lore for the game either. theres nothing else to look towards BESIDES the cosmetics now, sadly. so, if I buy a skin, and it later becomes free, yeah I want my money back. Or some compensation of in game currency. The shop is lead by the idea that youll miss out on the skins ‘FOREVER’ if you dont get them, its so heavily geared on FOMO. they dont come back in the summer/halloween/christmas events, like they used to. theyre unavailable, forever, unless brought back spontaneously. even with OG overwatch 1 skins, like scientist and blackwatch moira. and recently they made the summer ana skin available again but only for OW2 coins… it makes people more eager to spend their money for an OVERPRICED skin that ‘might not come back’. im so sad to see the direction that this game is going into.
I agree but honestly if you spent money on these skins you should be entitled to a refund. 🗿 like at least the cardboard rein skin when it was free was a recolor(so I wasn’t as salty) so it made me feel a little less bad. But when they just recycle and reuse at the expense of people who bought the skins then you should get a refund like the owl mercy players 🗿🗿🗿especially the legendary ones
I just want to talk about Venture not getting skins on their release. I'm always really wary about characters that are from a minority group not getting the same treatment as other characters who are not from a minority group. I've played games before where they would make openly gay, or non binary, or POC characters only to just completely ignore them and treat them as decoration, like "look guys we have *insert minority group here* come play our game". But at the same time I can understand making skin especially at the rate OW does can be really hard, and some characters are just easier to make skins for than others. I also know that Blizzard hires freelancer artists to draw their skin concepts so something could have happened with the artist, family emergency, too much of a current work load, literally anything. If it becomes a pattern of minority characters not getting the same treatment as non minority characters it's going to look really suspicious. I don't know if it's already suspicious since I would still consider myself new to the game so I don't know if there're more examples than just Venture
@@fruitbowl_IDV with venture I only know they didn’t really get much with their release I hope that blizzard isn’t just purposely neglecting venture but so far I actually noticed since venture there hasn’t been legendaries (free ones with the ow coins) mauga hasn’t gotten anything so I dunno if this is a new thing
HOWEVER I do not think it’s fair for them to prance them around without giving them the same treatment as Kiri or any other character. The LGBTQ character that are there ie: bap and lw do get skins
its not about venture being non binary, it is about their overall style and gameplay. Saying that lgbtq characters in Overwatch get less skins is not true, especially while looking at Tracer, Pharah and Soldier.
The issue with Venture is their style and how they are played. Most people find them annoying, mostly due to their kit. Nor does Venture have the appeal that most players look for.
Since Overwatch is now free 2 play, the skins will be focused on the top popular characters, that way they make the most money.
Characters being annoying = less skins.
Characters not meeting "cute" standards = less skins.
@@OkayyKimimauga had a legendary on release, another one next season, one for cowboy bebop and one for this season
@@makoaman1831 oops let me clarify I knew that but I meant when the character is released they get two other skins with it like the illari lord Farquad skin or the LW George Washington I meant like those ones 😅
It would be so easy to design skins for Venture. Star-nosed mole with a claw gun. Magma skin with a volcano gun. Dinosaur bone armor/archeologist skin with a velociraptor skeleton gun. Ancient Roman Emporer skin with a pillar gun. Egyptian royal servant skin with a pyramid gun. That's from 5 minutes of brainstorming and each could be legendary if not mythic.
7:01 Black Swan is a shop skin and it didnt came out with his release, Phi Ta Khon, the Battle Pass skin did
7:43 and 12:21 Venture's Ice Cream skin is an Epic, the bundle was 1200 overwatch coins (12$), not 20$ and only came with an emote, which you can both purchase seperately
8:03 Venture's Monarch skin is a Rare recolor.
13:11 Lifeweaver has gotten six shop and two battle pass skins since his release 7 seasons ago, he definitely shouldnt be included in that list
This is a very important video, it speaks about something blizzard NEEDS to hear. Venture got screwed over hard, and there are many characters that get neglected in this game. Definitely agree with a lot of points made in this video. I'm sorry if I came off as rude, I just wanted to clear these up. This is still a very good video!
thank you! But no you’re good it didn’t come off as rude :>
tbh I don’t think buying a skin makes anyone entitled to having exclusive rights to that skin forever, you pay to get the skin when you get it, what happens later is none of your concern. but that's just my opinion as someone who absolutely hates any and all kinds of exclusivity, and I’d much rather give new players an opportunity to earn a skin they maybe missed or didn’t wanna spend money on (cuz the prices are all obscene). though at the end of the day, the main problem is just the new monetization model they introduced with the shop, back with lootboxes nobody would feel scammed when newer players get an older skin, cuz nobody ever paid for a skin directly except with ow credits. it’s also why the same characters keep getting skins now while others are left to rot, it’s just a shitty base system and they honestly boxed themselves in a corner with it.
Watching this after the trailer is genuinely so painful
Venture gets nothing like always 🧍♀️

In Overwatch, a character needs to either be cute ( D.Va ), hot ( JQ ) or stereotypically cool ( Genji ) to get skins. Poor venture doesn’t fit into any of those.
I mean...I find big ass drill pretty cool

I came back to this game after a 5 year hiatus mostly to see what the game is up to. Saw the battle pass giving 600 coins instead of at least the buy in price. You know, the common courtesy that pretty much every other game company does. And now with how many skins I'm seeing for characters I don't play I was excited to see the skins for the characters I do play! I think I got maybe 2 skins total across the characters that weren't new releases. I'm honestly so sad.
Lifeweaver got the George Washington skins not the black swan. The black swan skin was in the shop.
you be shock how this video sums up pretty much other games and how they favor more cuter or hot female characters then other characters
biggest sample is league of legends
To be fair the mercy skin thing was mostly because it returned in the shop a week or two before the Amazon reward was available while it’s possible that it was def the mercy player out cry it was them trying to stay face with the odd timing of everything but I think refunds only went to people who bought around that time(which it was like 8 months after the skin came out) on the other hand I think it’s fine for blizzard to use the skins that didn’t sell the greatest for twitch drops or other ways to earn free rewards and even the anniversary credit thing if they bring that back from last year which I do hope but yeah I think it’s fine while I understand the frustration of not feeling it’s fair to have a skin you pay actual money for I feel you also have to understand that they’d like to give opportunities to worth wild rewards ie shop skins, and if a skin that honestly less than 1000 got then why not give the millions a free skin if most people weren’t gonna buy it anyways do feel the deal with zarya and venture (being a venture play) is rough tho zarya skins always sucked mostly so hard to say if just getting nothing is worse, you can also tell what characters are shop primarily characters (kiri,mercy,lifeweaver,Reinhardt) Bp characters so character they wanna make skins for but don’t get a lot of effort or trust them going to the shop (Wreaking Ball,junk or Lucio) and just characters that will likely be free drops most the time(sombra and sym/art deco was a twitch drop and went to credit shop later XD) and zarya were they just don’t know what to do, venture is at least new and maybe they just wanna be careful and mindful of putting them in something gender neutral and are struggling a bit but I do feel they have good plans for them just actually planning the release of these things were done awkwardly
i hate when a character i play has the most ass skins]
Reminds me of how dbd gives feng min a skin ever other week but at least some other characters get stuff occasionally
The whole double dipping/recolor stuff with skins is why I only grab the pass and starter bundles that have skin/coins along with Bing rewards. It sucks that Amazon is ending their free skins but there's still Twitch.
It's eye rolling when you think Kiriko won't get a skin for the season just for Blizzard to drop one last second but people are out here buying them.
Where is the Venture Diglett skin? I got load of credits and all they get is what two new shadow dropped highlight intros and an emote? Illari got that amethyst skin after she launched.
I really do appreciate these rant videos of yours. Like none of the big names really focus on the problems since they're (insert sellout word here). Like they'll barely mention it and retain this 'I'm neutral so I don't have people disagree with me' sort of attitude and to someone like me that's like them saying 'I have no opinion on this and that's my opinion' sort of stance. While you actually say what you want to say and point out things without worrying yourself head over heels about someone disagreeing with you and I respect the hell out of that.

u guys remember the last time Venture got a legendary skin ? Me either ....
Unfortunately, Blizzard started making character that looks like your average walmart people stand side by side to actual model/figure people. So some characters are just gonna get more skin than others. Unfortunately, unless if they go full creative or funny skin way, then yeah, don't expect much
As a Venture enjoyer, I’M STARVING, I JUST WANT ANY THING DUDE.
you’re so right, me and my best friend actually talk about similar critiques bc we play this game the most together lol.
i will say from my perspective, mauga did have skins when he first came out but i can’t remember if it was like immediately or within a few days or weeks but he did get like a lava/magma skin, bonesplinter which was battlepass i think and the cowboy bebop shop skin. all of those skins are now unavailable which is crazy lmfao. they couldve made ONE skin available
Im sure someone said this already but i think the lack of skins at release lately reflects the lay offs, they fired the ppl who were making these skins TT
Skins could be in the making but missing things like 3d models or art direction bc Blizzard fired half the art team ):
venture was released around the time when they laid off a lot of people in the company . skins can take up to a year to make as they told us months ago im guessing blizzard didnt have any skins poses or intros ready before their release which sucks .
I was one that bought the Aztec Sombra skin when it came out in the store. I was very annoyed at the clear favoritism that blizzard showed for mercy players with the owl skin but nothing for the players that owned Aztec Sombra from the store purchase. Also you forgot to mention art deco symmetra outfit. This outfit for symmetra was first available in the store for real money and that’s how I received the outfit before, it was later made free in twitch drops.
Also I’m an Illari main and I wished she got more love, she didn’t get a summer outfit with kiriko, lifeweaver, and mauga, but mercy and pharah and junk rat got ugly recolor outfits that just took up space in the store and battle pass. More love needs to be given by blizzard to the underrated characters and blizzard needs to stop leeching money from us with these bs favoritism tactics. : (
8:04 the funny part is that ventures monarch skin is literally a common lol so they only got one epic shop skin 😭
@@popohoho35 BRUH WAIT THATS ACTUALLY MORE DEPRESSING
Illari was the LAST hero to release with free epics and legendaries buyable with ow credits
Then Mauga released and he only had rares and 2 legendaries, one in the bp and one in the ult bp bundle (so only the rares were free)
And now we got Venture where they're just like Mauga but even worse, with not even an epic skin in the bp (they got one later on in the shop)
Literally how hard would it have been to put the tropical shirt Mauga as a base legendary or make the talon Mauga skin from the comics and put it there, or make the Venture skin a base epic
I feel like they convinced so many people to play Mercy, a character who doesn't usually shoot a gun in a shooter game all the time that they just want to keep those players there as much as humanly possible
On Xbox if you have game pass, you get free rewards for some games. The two ones I know about are the emo Kiriko purple one and the Rammatra Transformers one.
It'd be cool to have a community event where people design skins for characters they like, and Blizzard either chooses one (for each character) or gathers a select amount of skins per character for the community to vote for (once again, only 1 skin per character). Idk how money would work, or if they'd be free/challenge skins, but it would be fun & give (for example) Venture mains some hope lol
@@brianna2352 tbh I would love that! It would actually allow the community to have a day or at least come together in a way

“okay i guess i already have it, and entire BP isn’t worth it for me”
I also have the cardboard rein skin and I was like 🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️ at least the OG color is better LOL
I don't know why they don't put more effort into the shop considering its the main way they make money now. If the interface was better, they updated it more regularly and the skins weren't bundled up with useless stuff to overinflate the price, I'm sure their sales would double so I don't know why they don't do it. I know it isn't the most in-demand update but still it's baffling to me
The mercy community has way too much say in this game
I don't feel that bad for the Venture mains because their character gets shields after they breathe, so honestly a fair trade
i like how u put up the funny pics it makes me do the haha moment
I might be alone on this but I feel like Dva has also been snubbed since OW2 released. Other than than the original EDM skin from the 1st battle pass and that God awful turtle ship skin the only skins she's gotten have been corny collab skins or recolors (or a combination of the two, looking at you 2 EDM recolors). It's like the only time she gets a skin is when they need to do a sponsorship collab (EDM recolors that just added *insert brand* sunglasses, Porsche, k-pop, etc). She's basically become a Nascar driver where she has no identity of her own and instead is defined by her sponsors.
Blizzards not the only company that does this I play dead by daylight add the companies name is behavior and they also neglect certain characters based on their pick rate, whether it be survivors or killers Twins, one of the Lord picked killers, and she hardly gets anything I don’t think she’s got the skin in a while hattiey is a good example of a character that has it gotten skin in a while like I’m pretty sure she has a nice community but nonetheless people still player but yeah, I feel bad for people that have A character as a main and they have a Nice community cause you guys literally get nothing but I also feel like the characters that don’t get skin is also a reason why people don’t mean that character as well because I don’t have any skins also, I guarantee you that Junel is going to get a lot of skins. She’s probably gonna be the new caracal.

I cant deny that there is some amount of favoritism going on especially with Mercy. She is the most popular charater in the game afterall and yea that does suck but blizzard is a company they gotta make money and if they can have someone whos paid 12 bucks an hour make a mercy skin thats gonna make blizzard 1mil or make a different skin thats gonna make them 50k they are going to make the mercy skin. they are obligated to their shareholders and those want only one thing and thats money. On the toppic of making skins its not thaaat easy to make sth thats not a straight recolor (im a 3D artist myself that shiss takes time) but ultimatly i think that team 4 got f-ed real bad by the layoffs. The content mashine has to go on but microsoft axed half the team so no origin story and no cool skins. maybe once they reorient themselves we will get more stuff only time will tell.
i miss when these games were made with passion. now they just mad greedy
I can understand giving more skins to heroes whose skins sell better, but you have to give new heroes skins to test the waters first so it seems an odd business decision. Maybe the art team was stretched too thin behind the scenes at the time?
I just hope venture or mauga get skins that can be bought with legacy currency instead of being shop/battlepass exclusives.
Ramattra is out here getting the most dog skins ever seen by mankind. But Kiriko gets 2 amazing skins every Friday
@@insert_apathetic Ram could actually make some fire skins too 😭
The moment I heard that Aztec Sombra skin was going free I was about to pull a average gatekeeper, pink mercy user
"BUST A TITTY"
I'M GOING TO USE THIS PHRASING FROM NOW ON I'VE HEARD IT SO MANY TIMES IN THIS VIDEO IT'S HILARIOUS
Thank you! 🤩
Venture was probably one of the most interesting characters to be released. I don't really care about the character design or personality, just the moveset. Its so basic, yet you can do a lot of cool stuff with it.
But then Venture gets zero good skins..
*distant mercy mafia laughter*
@@pershingchaffee the mercy community will forever scare me and blizzard 👀🫡
Favouritism in games is so annoying
Would love to hear your thoughts how some characters like Junkerqueen are different characters in their in game vs their character video
I also just love JunkerQueen and the Junker characters
Junker queen forever has my heart too 🥺I’m a simp😔
@@OkayyKimi SAAAAAME
1: I think Venture is cute, although I'm also the weird guy to most that thinks Taliyah in League is adorable
2: I love Kiriko, but even I'm getting tired of her getting shit what feels like every other day, there's other characters that could use some love
3: ¨Bust a titty¨ is a phrase I never knew I needed to hear
Blizzard should make the skins un-purchasable for a bit before they become free, so someone doesn’t buy them then it immediately becomes free. It’s just good consumer practice but this is blizzard here lol.
Also I feel like the venture skin situation is genuinely insane, I saw a post in the venture sub where someone thought their skin list was bugged because it was so small months after their release lmao
Yeah they actually have so little if I’m not mistaken venture has only two epic skins 🗿 while Mauga has 3 legendaries from the top of my head and I think he was out after venture 🗿
@@OkayyKimi Venture’s only epic is the ice cream skin, everything else is rare. They do actually have two other epic skins but I don’t think those r obtainable atm and are basically straight up recolors
i bought the aztec sombra, starbucks Sojourn & medusa widow, just for them to be obtainable for free. i’m happy for the people that are getting it for free, but i just wish i didn’t spend the bread to get it if that was the case
I mean venture is just ugly
10:06
Thats the exact reason lol. Venture isnt a super lewdable character like Kiriko, dva, or Juno now. The characters that are seen as the “cute” or “hot” kind get the most attention and its super obvious. There have been so many seperate occasions where Kiriko got a skin or something in an event she had ZERO business being in. And now I can guarantee you Juno will get minimum 2 legendarys on release
@@gamerman6494 the new BP doesn’t look very promising for our rock muncher already ngl
As a soon to be Juno main, i dont really like the point that juno shouldn't get base legendaries, because its not like itll stop the bigger issue going on. A point not brought up was every since mauga, the skins we've been getting for the newer characters were pretty small. Mauga a also didnt come with 2 bade credit skins. Now dont get me wrong i understand hes gotten more focus than venture, but to me who enjoys playing them both, i just wish when juno comes out they go back and at least give those two the same lover as well as juno. If blizzard goes 3 for 3 to stop people from using their legacy credits to get new skins, thats just gonna suck for any character going foward.
I don’t mind Juno love either! All the new characters expect kiri need more love and ofc so do some of the old characters like bap and zar
Venture is very fun to play one good skin should sell decent, especially now that it's been this long with nothing, personally i rock giza for the red drill, looks good with the fire decal. With Venture it's the little things
Overwatch players when a cooperation wants money: 😱😱😱
So true. People want everything free in life without ever wanting to earn the money to buy their own luxuries in life. Also, what’s the difference between this and the Pink Mercy debacle? People were happy that skin came back and now people are angry that other once paid to get skins are being free through challenges or whatever. What’s the difference? Oh, because it’s free and some people made a willing choice to spend money on that skin that is now free? Boohoo. I guess losing $10 to $20 for most people means going in debt for life or they’re just extremely cheap people or they’re just little kids who have to beg their mommies and daddies to use their credit cards to spend a couple of dollars lol
Mercy is my favorite character but I honestly think she deserves to have a skin famine for an entire year and let other characters who rarely get skins get a chance to for once
From a Venture main......... Thank you! ❤
@@ThegoldenironYT ofc I don’t even main venture (actually main mercy LOL) but yall deserve so much more than what blizzard is giving you 🥲😔
Plaster wall? Feel like I need more details
8:13 you know.. this is why I consider the OW2 Devs to be homophobes in reality, since they revealed life weaver (who can be easily ridiculed as a wife leaver with simple switching of the letters), they heavily advertised him as the first pansexual hero of Overwatch and released him in an underpowered wimpy state.. kinda like if they wanted to stick it to pansexual people.
I remember someone saying the developers didn't even like Venture as a character, which, even if not true, I can definitely tell there's something up with the way Blizzard keeps ignoring them. The least they could do was clear the air and say, "Hey, the layoffs were rough; please give us time." But this radio silence is incredibly telling about what their intentions were when releasing this hero; it's pandering.
Lifeweaver too... While he's getting some love, he's still the worst support in the game. I have no idea what's up with Blizzard these days.
@@BonelessFry I can see how Venture as a Hero is Pandering. Juno less though but it's true, their radio silence is deafening, especialy ironic when Aaron Keller said that they were looking to ways to be more transparent.. months ago!
The first thing I thought when I heard Juno's voice is "female Izuku Midoria" and since then it's almost unbearable to play her
These skins should have never been paid for. These skins should have been easier for people to get.
Nothing through prime is free tho. Prime is a payed service so you're technically buying the skin just in a different way
I was one of the ppl that bought the aztec sombra skin 😅. Im not buying any other skins if they can just decide we got 15-20 bucks out of enough ppl. I emailed blizzard and they were pretty much like sorry we cant give u the money back 😅
@@tamooz6649 that’s actually fucked up considering the people who bought the owl mercy skin for a refund 🙄 if anything I feel like the people who bought Aztec sombra should be much more entitled to a refund since it’s a legendary 🗿
@@OkayyKimiaztec sombra buyers definitely deserved refunds more than owl mercy buyers, but alas if they make the mercy mains angry who will pay their bills 😔😔😔(not meant offensively I myself folded and spent money for lifeguard pharah😭)
@@OkayyKimi yeah i dont get it like they can set a precedent but then go back on it. If they want to continue making item shop skins free with drops then they should refund ppl that bought it beforehand. Im just glad that you actually talked about this topic bc Im still salty about it. I already dont want to support blizzard but the aztec skin just was the final straw for me to not give them another cent. I was of the ppl that bought OW1 thinking it had a campaign like COD, i realized it didnt and I fell in love with the different heroes and landed into the support role as no one would ever play a healer 😅. Now I really dont care with how they take the game bc Im not putting any more money in it, they canceled PVE, im free. I enjoy the new heroes and the shake ups but I barely play the game. I usually just play vs ai and vibe at this point bc qp sweats can be annoying at times
Also, I didn’t know they refunded for the OWL skin, that’s so unfair to everyone else! I think us mercy mains need to start fighting for the others to get fair treatment :/ great video though, I completely agree with everything you said in the video. 😊
Thank you 💕🥺
As a Zarya main, yes we are sad
Didn't they experiment with lowering skin prices? Or was that just a rumor?
Anyhow, poor, poor Rock Muncher isn't the first time they've been using the LGBTQIA+-community to look better or to try to "gain points" or something. Back when they cancelled the PVE, they then went radio silent for two weeks, and then, they released a pride event, and never said anything about how much they lied to us. And with a bunch of the allegations back in 2021, they made a short story for Soldier where they gave us info about his ex bf or something.
Still, if they don't give poor Rock Muncher a skin soon, but they continue with shitty ass Kiriko, I swear to god.
I’m not sure about that tbh right now the skins in the shop are 28 for the bundles so I dunno if they’re still doing it LOL
Ah yes I remember that day felt like they pulled a Voltron
im a mercy main and a venture main and the difference in how they treat the communities is insane, even I'm getting annoyed by her amount of skins cause I cant buy them all. atp I just save my money to buy the crumbs of skins they make for illari and (hopefully) venture. Im actually so scared about juno coming out cause I know shes gonna be a favorite and shes gonna get all the new skins, leaving venture neglected AGAIN😭😭
Ngl I am too looking at the new BP it doesn’t look very promising to our favorite rock muncher 🗿
The Sombra community needs to mergre with us in the Mercy Mafia. ( I can't speak for the another members of The Mercy Mafia) but i assume we'll back yall?
The mercy mafia and the sombra community is a much needed crossover
I cant believe they ignore hog so much even tho hes by far the sexiest hero 😤
@@calus_bath_water ONG they’re scared about what the rule 34 artist are gonna do fr LOL
Ramattra got absolutely mess up this upcoming season. We were supposed to have a tank mythic this season, and instead of the Anubus (the god of death, the god who judges your soul and sees which path you go to next) going to Ramattra it went to REAPER! Because god of death guys right? Hahahaha Reaper hates everyone so he gets to god of death skin. But no! Anubis doesn't work that way, Anubis is not a reaper of death but a judge of death! And that would've been perfect for Ramattra!
Ramattra has also gotten pretty bad skins lately. I would never use the Monk skins since they're really boring for legendaries. The Poseidon skin is pretty good, I use the Primordal skin the most, and The Baron skin is alright but not the best. He's gotten a few shop skins but I haven't seen a BP skin in a while.
Justice for Venture though. Absolutely got awful treatment. I called out the fact that they don't have a legendary skin despite Venture being out for TWO SEASONS. It's really crazy.
Don’t worry Kimi Venture will get a Skin! … Right after they give Juno 4 Legendary’s behind Mercy getting another 2 and finally another Kiriko Skin! Season 16 guys! Keep up the Venture Hype a little longer!
As a mercy main, I hope everyone can get some skins and attention. I think we have enough now, let my wallet rest blizzard. But I will say that I understand why. We are the ones playing the game and putting money into it, so it makes sense that we get the most profit wise. And at the end of the day, they’re a greedy company like all the others.
Although I understand why it never hurts to try and give some skins out to other communities or even make them in the BP 🥲 (as another fellow mercy main)
Ok first time here and I like the video and your editing style but for people who watch this on anything bigger then a 24inch monitor just be prepared that the gameplay goes really pixelated. I would recommend recording at a higher resolution or turn off resampling if possible! Anyway great video and keep it coming ❤
Thank you! But I’m sorry though I didn’t realize! Tbh I play on the lowest of the low LOL but I’ll try to record on a higher resolution so it looks decent ! Thank you for letting me know though ! 💕
As a venture main, god I’m just sad for the content drought we’re in. They released with nothing, the next season they got nothing, and they’re definitely not getting anything while Juno is most definitely getting a ton of skins
I’m not even a venture main but I feel you venture has been done dirty since the beginning first pranced for their first non-binary character just to only get two skins (twitch drop/ice cream)
Loifeweaver player here, they are giving away the Cleric skin and like 3 other legendaries for connecting to an Xbox account soon too -_-
Great video, agree with the sentiment, im tired of Blizz's shameless simp abuse. Venture is genuinely an untapped gold mine of ideas, their happy go lucky, bubbly personality mixed with the broken shackles of gender literally means venture can be ANYTHING. Like, what if venture had a super hero skin called rockman and they wore this goofy inflatable muscleman suit with a cape and mask? Even goofiness aside, they could just have some genuinely nice looking fem/masc outfits. The fact they were skipped over should be an absolute crime. Now all we have to look forward to is waifu number 25, space kiriko. How utterly boring. But hey, better for me I guess, I get to keep my money yet again...
Yo...they actually gave refunds to the people who bought the Owl Mercy skin??? That is so unlike Blizzard to be chartible. If they're going to continue making paid skins eventually become free (they did with 3 of them for the 2024 Anniversary: Ram, Bap, and Soldier btw) then they should DEFINITELY give automatic coin refunds to the players who bought those skins previously. It doesn't cost them any money to dump some virtual coins into players' accounts, and it doesn't scare off buyers from being concerned about wasting money to get them ASAP either.
I don't think the Venture neglect is due to them being nonbinary... Not only did they get a little animated short and a comic on their release, but we wouldn't have gotten them in the first place if whoever's in charge was that bigoted. (Not to mention TONS of LGBT+ icons and name cards and a Pride variant of Midtown.) I think they just got lazy with Venture's skins at release, tested the waters with the ice cream and Twitch skin, saw not many people wanted them, and haven't bothered since. Juno's a conventionally attractive girl and she didn't get any legendaries at release! (Though she did get the MHA collab skin and is soon to get another legendary in Season 14.)
One of my questions is, why does Symmetra get so many Battle Pass skins?
Tbh I’m a little surprised she gets a lot mostly because I feel like the Sym community is pretty niche and small unlike the Cass or Ashe community
@@OkayyKimi my guess is that maybe because she’s niche her skins are put in the BP since it’s less likely people will go out of their way to buy a skin for her from the shop, either way I got like 30 minutes on Sym I don’t want anymore skins for her 😭
Okay, but no one is going to keep me from worshiping Junkrat's feet
I MEANNNNNNN I don’t blame you them toes look scrumptious
But he only got 1 though
