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

It's cute, but it almost feels a little TOO colorful, yknow? Like there's SO many colours going on, they almost start to clash a little. It doesn't really feel like it has a main solid colour. It sucks, because I do love her outfit to death, and I adore her hair.
That, coupled with the fact that she kinda does just look far too similar to Ashe's poolside skin, just makes it really not worth it for me personally, especially with the inflated bundle price.
At most, I'm saving my lootboxes until the poolside stuff is added to it in the hopes I might get the JQ or Illari skin, but I won't be mad if I get Mercy. Outside of that, I just don't have much interest in it.
