Overwatch 2 Players Cry Foul Over 'Pay-to-Win' My Hero Academia Skin
October 22, 2024Overwatch 2, a free-to-play team-based shooter, expands on the original game with new heroes, maps, and game modes.
Currently, the game features a My Hero Academia collaboration event running from mid-October to the end of the month, introducing five new legendary skins.
Among these is Reinhardt's All Might skin, which is part of a paid bundle, leading players to expect higher quality and better functionality from Blizzard.
However, players have raised concerns that this skin may be 'pay-to-win' due to a missing voice line when Reinhardt uses his ultimate ability.
The absence of the voice line prevents opponents from receiving a crucial audio cue, making it difficult for them to react to Reinhardt's Earthshatter attack.
Additionally, players have noted that the visual effects for Earthshatter are not functioning correctly with the All Might skin, exacerbating the gameplay imbalance.
This issue has sparked debate within the Overwatch 2 community, with some players agreeing that the skin gives an unfair advantage.
While some players reported that the missing voice line has been fixed, allowing Reinhardt to shout 'Hammer Down' again, this has not been officially confirmed.
