You have to submit a ticket before April 9 to request the refund.

The Roadhog skin is also out today.

Or because they've learned not to hitch their cart to any particular horse, in a field where a great many of the horses are some manner of lovely human.

You'd think they'd have figured THAT much out about two months into the Fuel's first season

I choose to believe that this is a clever bit of wordplay, because next year they will produce MVP skins for Overwatch 2!

We're more than a year away from this coming up again so there's definitely time for them to recant this statement, which they might do because I suspect there will be backlash. It's not like they can just not have a season MVP and there will be significant complaints at the end of the season if people think whoever is chosen won't get to have a custom skin. I can understand why Blizzard doesn't want to take the risk but honestly, they've handled this whole situation just fine by offering refunds and removing the MVP patch on the model. I'd rather see them put more effort into doing something to stop players from acting like disgusting little sex pests rather than throw up their hands and go "Well I guess lovely teenage/young adult boys will be boys, we can't risk honoring one who ends up having rape allegations made against them."

Jjonak's MVP skin is one of the best in the game in my opinion, but Sinatraa's felt really lazy and Fleta's isn't a ton better.
So I think it's cool to have the option of getting a new skin, but they are a little hit and miss, and I also don't follow OWL enough to know who the MVP is.

they are limited to keeping the same basic outline for competitive integrity so different colors and textures are all you can ever expect. Its still pretty impressive how far they can take it. Stuff like the reaper sombrero probably wont be happening again

It's what he asked for? All three MVP skins have been designed by the request of the players. Jjonak wanted octopi, Sinatraa wanted an alien, and Fleta said he wanted something that was both a devil and an angel. I think it actually looks quite good for a request that was probably tough to accommodate on a single skin.

did sinatraa ask for an alien? Fleta is the only one I can remember them really confirming it was based off the mvp's request. The other 2 seemed like your name is octopus so we did that, and people meme that you look like an alien.

All mvp skins were designed with the mvps concepts in mind, yes.

They have definitely said that all MVP skins are based off what the MVP themselves wanted. Sinatraa wanted the alien because it's a meme on his stream but also wanted the character to be in a snappy suit (because Frank Sinatra). Jjonak just really likes octopi.

CDL was already testing out some of these features i believe.

4K is nice but being able to watch on YouTube instead of on the blizz website to earn tokens is what i wanted. the clipping as well.

i kinda hope they extend the MVP/SF Shock skins for a longer period though.

Not sure which one's more embarrassing, Defiant or Gladiators (the former weren't tryharding as you can see, the latter is a full pro/former pro team) At least Fuel's had Tazmo as an excuse lol

The preliminaries began today, but the official broadcast is tomorrow on https://youtube.com/overwatchleague/live Some people were streaming their povs today as pro players steamrolled them (or in Defiant's case, logix streamed all their matches until they got defeated by a random team of GMs)

On NA there's a mix of contenders players, ladder kings, American Tornado playing because of course they loving would lol, and most of the OWL meme teams.

I know this is a dumb meaningless tournament, but why is team Dallas struggling so hard against this random group of top 500 folks?

It would be hilarious if Dallas faceplants AGAIN after buying virtually an entire elite roster from Paris.

In fairness to Dallas, their coaches are on support actually NVM it is all players minus the guys on the Tazmo team

this team also beat the Justice, who iirc was playing with their lineup proper
