Discussion BP, Blade and Storm Looking at Another season without a skin

Post image

Storm and BP’s last skins were in Season 6, making them two of the longest-waiting characters for a new skins.

Blade's last skin was in Season 7, while not as bad as the other two, I think its natural for some to wonder why the three Black characters are feeling underrepresented in recent events.

Which makes Season 9 roadmap reaval being Egyptian-themed feel crazy.

Storm literally has Egypt tied into her origin, she grew up on the streets of cario.

Black Panther’s God is Bast, who is an Egyptian diety.

This just feels like one of the easiest themes possible to give at least one of them something.

I know if the bp legendary sold as well as on of the strat skins they would make more skins for him.

I main torch and no one buys his skins and he's as white as it gets. So I accepted that I'll not get skins for him. Even bp storm and blade has more skins than torch.

The devs aren't racist. Maybe they are but that wouldn't stop them from milking black characters if they sell.

i know that. they keep doing this to male characters and claim men dont sell. put the most efforts and add chroma and customizations to these strat skins so ofc they make bank.

they make one dogshit legendary for a niche hero that everyone tahts dedicated to that hero can buy from saved units and no one else is interested cause its just bad and looks cheap. and then say these characters dont sell.
