I'd go for Olympic tracksuit/uniform.

I think imp is nice at least. Devil's black hair doesn't really fit her that much.

It does, but I think I'd rather want the alt color one.

I found 'em. Cool. I really like these two.

They're awful. Same with Widows "Odette" skins.

hollywood x highland is a huge retail center, which notably has the Chinese Theatre

look familiar?
the Centre Georges Pomidou is home to a huge cultural centre, library, and the world's largest European modern art museum
The Bexco Convention Center looks like this

that funky shaped building KIND OF reminds me of the huge museum from the Cinematic trailer
I just want one of the two Mechaqueen skins for Pharah because robots.
But hockey Lucio is pretty cool too.

I really don't think that fits her at all
[QUOTE=CrossNgen;50350376]I really don't think that fits her at all[/QUOTE]
I'm still really confused why she has a native american totem skin as an egyptian. It LOOKS cool for her overall eagle theme but given it's a very specific ethnic thing on a character who's rather ethnic herself but to a locale on the other side of the globe, it rubs me wrong
[editline]e[/editline]
to clarify, sure other characters have skins that are out of their character's solid origins but this is the heaviest contrasted one with zero potential reasons behind it (besides the 'tomahawk missile' thing but her missiles don't look like that)
[editline]e[/editline]
ok now I want mechaqueen, check those missiles

I actually kinda like them... in a so weird it's good way. But Widow's got the worst default look IMO. Wish they'd gone for something a bit more like the preorder skin.

Anubis is my favourite Pharah skin.
I suppose I just generally prefer legendary skins that keep the character's original concept intact - ie all Zenyatta's ones are still recognisably robot mystics, S76's commando skins are still super soldiers, Reinhardt's are still giant knights, Torbjorn's hot rod skins still do a pretty good job of portraying awesome engineer, McCree's gambler skins still work as a cowboy, etc. Those are the sort of ones I like, not "What if Tracer was into punk rock or drove a racecar?"

I feel the same way with the American sounding Brazilian being a huge fan of hockey.
[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;50350403]not "What if Tracer was into punk rock or drove a racecar?"[/QUOTE]
I can forgive the racing skins, she was a test pilot and that's not exactly foreign to daredevil pilots/racing as hobbies, especially when her whole schtick is ~going fast~. Punk designs are wonky and off-kilter like they were designed by someone who doesn't understand punk. On the other end of that spectrum, Zarya's goth skins are PAINFULLY accurate to a number of high school goths I knew back in the day

change to br language pack to fix, and also for that sweet DVa "HUE HUE"

It probably also has to do with how her projectiles resemble [I]tomahawk[/I] missiles.
Yeah, there's some super well done skins for a lot of the characters, but even then I more often than not prefer the defaults.
I don't even like most of the alternate palletes either.

I feel like that for every single Tracer skin except for the Slipstream one, honestly. Maybe if the T Racer skins didn't shove a helmet on her head.

I'd like the slipstream skin more if it had her chrono-harness thing on it.
I know it doesn't make sense because it's supposed to be her before the accident, but it makes less sense for her to use her abilities without it.
Still a dope skin tho.

other characters have skins that go against their ethnicity, kinda. zenyatta has an indian-esque skin(not native american) and an egyptian skin.
roadhog has a tiki hawaiin skin thing too

White/Gold Tracer is nice.
But yeah generally I find myself hating just about everything with a yellow name.
I think Reindhart's the only one who has no bad skins.

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a Maori or Pacific Islander skin, and it's entirely possible Roadhog is of kiwi/Islander descent with how many immigrate to Australia.

My main issue with the scarecrow skins for Junkrat is that they hide the facial animations, and with Junkrat's wide variety of facial expressions I think it's a bit of a shame to hide them away under an, albeit cool, hood.
[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;50350441]It's times like these I wish Roadhog could hook through shields.[/QUOTE]
Would making Roadhog able to hook the metal base of Reinhardt's shield at all fix this, or would that be bringing a nuke to a fist fight?

Any of the soldier 76 recolours look like garbage, they look too edgy. I can't really explain it.
