A player named "Daddy" said, "it's clear that the majority of people do not like that skin, and feel that it is inferior to all of the other legendary skins in the game". Daddy expressed also "someone from Blizzard needs to respond to the criticism of the Mei skin, and clarify what exactly defines a legendary skin"
Usual from the gaming community, to react and express themselves in forums, unexpectedly got a reply from Jeff Kaplan, the Overwatch Gaming Director. The most important idea of it was Mei will have a new legendary skin for the early part of next year. Even though a lot of players are not happy with the Christmas-ish feel of the released skin, be assured that something "awesome" is lined up soon.
Here is the full reply of Jeff Kaplan to the forum post:
"Hi there. Sorry, you are disappointed with Mei's winter skin. We don't have a specific rule for what makes something Legendary or Epic. We just sort of make a gut call based off of what we think is cool. Coolness is very subjective and based off of the community reaction it seems like our gauge was off on this one.
"Our reasoning for it being Legendary was that we completely redid the visual effects for Cryo-Freeze (we turned the ice block into a snowman)."
"We thought that was pretty special and we had done it specifically based on community suggestions from months ago when people were speculating that we might have a winter event. Apparently, lots of people don't agree with us and that's ok. It's all good feedback and we're learning something for future events".
"For people concerned that Mei is not going to get another Legendary for a long time, you need not worry. We have something pretty awesome for her early next year."
"Apologies that our 'cool meter' was off from yours on this one. We'll try to align better with future content."
Rest assured, we will be looking forward to something for Mei next year. An early Christmas Gift indeed.
