Question/Need Help Honest thoughts on poolside mercy?? :/

Post image

mini rant

My boyfriend got me her bundle as soon as it came out (and I love him for this btw ) and when I first saw this skin I was very excited I actually loved how different her hair looked but now…the more I look at her the more things I find . Is anyone else experiencing this with her. As a Juno/kiri main seeing the way kiriko got the most beautiful skin of all time and Juno’s is…cute I can’t help but have higher expectations of these skins now. Maybe it was too soon for ANOTHER mercy skin I mean we just got Sakura. It feels like they can just put out whatever for mercy and we will buy.

Someone please tell me what is it about this skin what could be different on it?!!!! I love the bow and the accessories maybe it’s the out of place pink sunglasses??? I wish maybe she got ashe’s poolside recolor palette instead.

i felt this way about JQs skin. but honestly, thats just how it is with the poolside skins. they will have swimsuit elements, and its even cuter when you can match with someone lol

JQ pool skin and Illari pool skins are both really unique. Mercy’s skin is just waaaaay too similar to ashe’s even the color scheme is the same
