For players expecting more flying heroes like Pharah and Echo, this list caught them off guard.
“Mercy sneaking her way in over Echo or Pharah is criminal behavior,” onewrote.
“Missed opportunity to include all flying heroes. Echo, Pharah and D.va,” another commented.
“Echo getting sideswiped again, she had two perfect opportunities to get a collab skin for Transformers and now Gundam, but somehow Mercy gets one?” remarked another confused player.
Meanwhile, fans of the Null Sector tank were pleased to see Ramattra getting the collab treatment.
Of course, until Blizzard announces the skins themselves, take this with a grain of salt, but it’s easy to see why some fans were expecting Pharah to be included given that even one of herOW1launch skins, Mechaqueen, appeared to be heavily Gundam inspired.
