Overwatch 2 Players Cry Foul Over 'Pay-to-Win' My Hero Academia Skin
  • Overwatch 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.
