Overwatch 2 players aren’t staying silent about Moira’s legendary mime skinNot quite up to the standard of her Ziggy Stardust phase
Not quite up to the standard of her Ziggy Stardust phase
Like many free-to-play live service games these days,Overwatch 2loves its skins. Occasionally though, Blizzard stumble with their cosmetic offerings, rather like they’ve tripped over an invisible dog. Players have been taking to Twitter and Reddit to voice their irritation with support hero Moira’s rather uninspired new legendary skin, based on the classic black and white look of mime artists everywhere. Just like mime artists themselves, it’s not very popular.

Legendary skins are meant to change their hero’s outfit in some drastic way, with alterations to their weapon model, colours, and outfit. Some Overwatch 2 players have taken to the game’s subreddit to argue that Moira’s mime skinisn’t worth legendary statusbecause it’s just a very basic recolouring of the hero’s common skin, with a beret and some facepaint. Others argue the skin isn’t as impressive as someepic skinsthat were free for the originalOverwatch.
I’m not your typical Overwatch player, if such a thing even exists, but I’m actually feeling Moira’s new look. I think I’d use the skin if it was free, although I’d begrudge forking out for it. You can even get a matching rope pull emote, just to be extra annoying.
I can see why players are miffed about the level of effort involved in creating this when it’s being sold as a legendary skin though, when there have been legendaries in the past such as D.Va’s awesome 1950s-themed Cruiser skin. Moira’s even had her own Bowie-inspired Glam and Moon legendary skins before, both of which are way better than mime Moira. You can see those and loads more in Rebecca’s round-up ofevery hero skin in Overwatch 2.
Overwatch 2 is a free to play download fromBattle.net. What do you think of Moira’s new look and how much it costs?
