'Overwatch' Limited Edition Skins Leaked For Year Of The Rooster Event: Pro Player Might Be Banned For 'Smurfing'
Ceage SottoBlizzard's "Overwatch" is going Chinese with the Year of the Rooster Event on January 24. A leaked advertisement has just revealed some new legendary hero skins.
According to PCGamer, the image was posted by Redditor hythl0day. The allegedly leaked game advertisement showed four new skins modeled after a Chinese folk tale. The skins depict characters from the famous novel: Journey to the West.
Zenyatta's new skin is from the Buddhist monk Xuanzang or Tang Sanzang. The three tank heroes are dressed as the monk's three disciples. Winston depicting Sun Wukong or the Monkey King. Roadhog is the boar monster Zhu Bajie, and Reinhardt is Sha Wujing. Blizzard has not yet released news about the new skins.
In other news, an "Overwatch" pro player might be banned from the game due to smurfing. In a post by PCGamesn, Swedish player "IDDQD" might be banned permanently from the game.
The alleged smurfing activity was caught by other "Overwatch" players when the alleged smurfer streamed the activity. In the video, he can be seen defeating wave after wave of enemy players while laughing and commenting on their rookie like play.
The player was bold enough to type the phrase "I fak you" in the chat to taunt opposing players in broken English. Many annoyed viewers went to "Overwatch" forums to air their grievances to the Swedish player.
Smurfing is the act of using a low-level character or game account to ensure that you'll be paired up with a lower level opposition. The act has been widely debated among other massive online games, many players deem it as bullying game beginners.
For the meantime, "IDDQD" still has an active account, Blizzard has not released a statement in penalizing the said pro player. Recently a group of Chinese players were banned for installing aimbots at their accounts. Stay tuned for more updates.
