Om du har legat på latsidan och varken fått upp tomtar eller ett buskigt träd i vardagsrummet finns det faktiskt gott om stämning att hitta i Overwatch just nu. Ett gäng av karaktärerna har fått finfina julkläder, exempelvis Roadhog som en rödnosad ren, Winston i form av en yeti, och Mei utklädd till tomte. Dock har Meis röda skrud inte varit speciellt uppskattad av många spelare, framförallt då det känns som att Blizzard nöjt sig med att måla om hennes gamla kläder istället för att piffa riggen ordentligt. Game Director Jeff Kaplan har tagit till sig av kritiken, och säger följande som ursäkt till oss spelare via Battle.net:
"Hi there. Sorry you are disappointed with Mei's winter skin. We don't have a specific rule for what makes something Legendary or Epic. We just sort of make a gut call based off of what we think is cool. Coolness is very subjective, and based off of the community reaction it seems like our gauge was off on this one. Our reasoning for it being Legendary was that we completely redid the visual effects for Cryo-Freeze (we turned the ice block into a snowman). We thought that was pretty special and we had done it specifically based on community suggestions from months ago when people were speculating that we might have a winter event. Apparently, lots of people don't agree with us and that's ok. It's all good feedback and we're learning something for future events.
For people concerned that Mei is not going to get another Legendary for a long time, you need not worry. We have something pretty awesome for her early next year. Apologies that our "cool meter" was off from yours on this one. We'll try to align better on future content."
