Det er for tiden skikkelig julestemning i Blizzards Overwatch, og figurene har fått nye antrekk som passer til årstiden. Deriblant finner vi Roadhog som et reinsdyr med rød nese, Winston i form av en yeti, samt Mei utkledd som en nisse. Sistnevnte har imidlertid fått mye kritikk fra spillerne, og denne går i hovedsak ut på at det ser ut som om Blizzard kun har endret farge på hennes normale antrekk. Spillregissør Jeff Kaplan har kommentert kritikken, og sier via Battle.net at de er lei for at utviklerens oppfatning av hva som er kult ikke samstemmer med spillernes:
"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."
Synes du kritikken er på sin plass, eller er dette et eksempel på at man aldri kan gjøre alle til lags?
