Overwatch players have been complaining so much about what they consider to be a lacklustre Legendary update for Mei – as part of the Winter Wonderland event – that Blizzard has apologised.
“Sorry you are disappointed with Mei’s winter skin,” wrote game director Jeff Kaplan. “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.”
Mei fans needn’t get too upset, however, with Kaplan confirming that the character will receive another Legendary early in 2017.
