Agreed. New best Mercy skin IMO. Been waitin' on casual Mercy since forever and while it's no cosy autumn fashion, it'll do.

most of Mercy's skins are great but it's nice to have one where she actually looks like a thirty-something doctor and not a magical anime girl lol
Downloaded the game back after a season and a half of not playing. Did my DPS placements
2999. What kind of sick joke is this Blizzard

Agreed. That said, I still fucking want my pink magical girl breast cancer skin from my PS4 account added to my PC account, Blizzard.
No its Hanan, the girl from the short story, the spray is named Hanan
I figured, but since she wasn't in the Mercy armor it didn't seem like it fit
Was worried Chu was up to some bullshit
I didn't do them, it's more the fact of being 1 sr away from a promotion than the rank itself it kinda pissed me off.
is there a list of all the challenge skins? including relatively minor ones that didn't get their own event like american reaper from the summer games
edit - i think i got all of them here, this is everything you could unlock for free by playing during a limited time challenge event
ana - bastet
baptiste - vampire, combat medic
bastion - brick
dva - nano
junkrat - inferno
mei - zhongguo
mercy - dr ziegler
reaper - american
reinhardt - bundesadler
sombra - demon hunter (if you didn't get it from blizzcon)
widowmaker - kerrigan (just by logging in during the event)
honorable mentions to allstar 2018 genji and tracer / allstar 2019 mercy and lucio / zennakji zenyatta / flying ace winston / pink mercy / 2016 blizzcon bastion / 2017 blizzcon winston as skins that you could only buy during a limited window, as well as noire widowmaker for preorders

For casual play is the Switch version that bad? I like the idea of playing this on the move?
It's totally fine for a handheld experience. If you have the Daemon Xachins Split Pad Pro, the bigger analogs and mappable back buttons help a bunch!
they advertised it as limited/exclusive, so they shouldn't bring it back. on switch it would be different though since there was never any opportunity for switch players to get it. so making it available on switch would be fair imo.
with demon hunter sombra, on the blizzcon ticket fine print they noted that the skin would be available later and wasn't exclusive, so putting it back in the halloween 2019 event was expected.
i agree it would be nice for them to do another charity event though, maybe for a different cause this time with an all-new skin
Brick Bastion kinda' raised the bar for these types of skins, and Demon Hunter and Dr. Zeigler really kept it up there.
Dr. Zeigler is definitely one of my favorite skins of the year.
Charity overrules exclusives in my eyes. If anyone complains they can pound dirt.
Oh shit, hope, I feel hope

Man they're really trying to kill off Barrierwatch, nice.
Let's see how this changes things!

With less shields she would be super strong so this is counter acting that.
I get it from a balance point its just the typical no fun allowed nerf. Nerfs that hit mobility of a character always suck.
This will be very interesting. On the face of it, it seems dive will be making a big comeback, as I don't think it'll be possible to maintain any sort of barrier-based defence. Maybe not dive as much as a sort of GOATS type thing where both teams just smash into each other and brawl it out (Rein's increased movement and anti-boop abilities stand out, and Doom, Reaper and Mei have escaped any nerfs).
Frankly, I don't care, as anything will be better than double barrier for me, as main tank is the one role in the game I can't play at all well.
I think it'll be a wash, as his shield is lower, but he's faster while holding it up, so he'll spend less time exposed to fire while engaging.

Yeah the Rein barrier nerf is too much. Rein should be THE shield hero not to mention Sigma's and Orisa's shield isn't attached to them and Sigma and Orisa can fight at range

Pog changes, hope we get more looks at healing soon
Basically every Widow buff ever has been a mistake so this is good in my books
