Controversy Brews Over Gundam Skins in Gaming Community | Fans Demand Fresh Designs
A growing coalition of gamers is expressing mixed feelings about the upcoming Gundam-themed skins. While some are excited, many are frustrated over the lack of innovation in design and the direction of character skins.
Mixed Reactions From Players
Fans are sharply divided on the appeal of the Gundam skins. Discussions in forums reveal that while a few players are on board, others feel let down. One commenter stated,
"The skin looks like his best skin, dethroning Poseidon."
Another added, "I’m a Gundam fan and it’s kind of a let down. Mercy and Soldier look cool, but Ram just ain’t hitting right."
A recent comment echoed this sentiment, emphasizing frustration:
"He rarely gets any skins as is, so having another skin turning him from a big robot to a big robot feels like a bit of a waste considering the creative potential with his design."
Despite the excitement from some, others are perplexed by the collaboration. One user remarked,
"Turning a big robot into a big robot is unoriginal but logically the safest play."
Some fans have also shared personal rules regarding purchases, such as one user who stated, "I have a rule for myself not to purchase collab skins from franchises I’m not into and that’s basically the one thing keeping me from buying this."
Desire for Originality
The demand for unique designs continues to grow. Many are expressing discontent over repetitive collaborations. One participant noted, "I have zero nostalgia for Transformers or Gundam, and these boxy robot skins are just too niche for non-fans." Others wish for skins that truly transform characters, saying,
"He deserves more than being shoved into robot-adjacent collabs."
Several comments point out that original designs are increasingly rare.
Interestingly, a Mercy main commented on the disparity in skin availability: "I feel dirty being a Mercy main who gets like, 3 skins every season"
Heightening Concerns for Ramattra
Concerns about character support, particularly for Ramattra, are rising. Players often cite his low pick rate, with one remarking,
"I was shocked to discover he has one of the lowest pick rates."
The sentiment is widespread, as a gamer lamented, "I don’t want to wait another nine months for a Ram skin, so I’ll buy this one." It seems players are craving more unique offerings rather than collaborations, illustrating a disconnect with recent design choices.
Interestingly, someone quipped, "Look man, no offense but who GAF?" highlighting the apathy some feel toward the collaboration.
