Overwatch Winter Skins are out.

Here's a gallery of them:

Gotta say most of them are pretty "meh" in my opinion. The Wintson one's alright, and I do like the Pharah and Reaper ones...but good god, Mei's is an absolute rip-off. 3k credits for what equates to a Christmas-based recolor with a Santa hat. By comparison, Lucio got the same treatment: wintery recolor with a Santa hat, and his only costs 750. I'd imagine Mei's will probably have some unique voicelines/interactions, but I still don't think it's worth 3k.

At least this snowball game mode is obnoxious af.

No ugly sweater 76 makes me very sad

Most of the skins are pretty good, except Mei and Zarya. They are pretty awful.

It makes her Cryostasis power turn her into a Snowman but yeah, I can sympathize.

As for myself: I really like Winston's and Zenyatta's new skins and Widow's new intro [http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/199/804/cfc.gif] is surprising kickass but everything else I could take or leave.

Love widowmakers intro, but I am appalling as a sniper, so will never get to see it.

Had to buy mercy's 'guardian angel' voiceline, and got her mistletoe victory pose in my 2nd lootbox.

The only thing left as an 'essential' is D'vas christmas lights victory pose, and Symmetras highlight intro. The other stuff is nice, but I won't freak out if I don't get them.

Some of the ornament spraytags are adorable, though seems a bit iffy there's two new spraytags for everybody instead of the one the other two events had.

All the snowmen are gloriously Calvin & Hobbes-esque and I love it.

The Winter Brawl was kinda fun. A bit intense considering how many times I had to bear 5 strangers watch me flail around on a character i've never played before.
At least I managed to satisfy them once or twice.

Watches intro...

...well, hopefully that'll disuade the Tracer-Widowmaker shippers. ^_^

More likely to fuel stories around being stepped on.

Zarya's is so "creative".

Still having trouble seeing why people give a shit about skins like these.

Phara, Winston, and Torbjorn are the only ones I really gave a crap about.

Zenyatta's and Tracers are pretty nice too.

But my god, Zarya got shafted on this. And my girlfriend despises the lack of creativity they did with Mei.

I think it's the brawl though that officially sold this as the weakest of the holiday/seasonal stuff. It's garbage. The intro with Soldier 76 is pretty cute, but I just don't get the arc of the weapon. I swear in replays it just gravitates towards players half the time. The only reason my friend plays it is because she wants the achievements.
