Avatar Skins Unleash Missed Potential in Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2's Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover event sparked creative fan discussions, particularly regarding missed skin opportunities. While the event featured six Avatar-themed skins for various heroes, some players felt certain choices were overlooked.

One popular suggestion centered on a Junkrat skin resembling the Cabbage Merchant. A fan, drawnbyjared, even created a concept design, highlighting the potential for Junkrat's projectiles to be cabbages, adding a humorous element. The idea resonated with other players, suggesting a fitting tribute to the show's iconic character. This isn't the first time Overwatch 2 fans have crafted their own skins for crossover events; similar fan-made skins appeared during the My Hero Academia collaboration.

Another point of discussion involved Ashe, who shares a voice actress with Avatar's June. Fans argued that this connection presented a missed opportunity for an Ashe skin. While not as directly connected as Ashe and June, the comedic nature of Junkrat and the Cabbage Merchant made the skin idea compelling.

The article also mentions that, given the upcoming Avatar RPG is set thousands of years before the events of the show, the likelihood of the Cabbage Merchant appearing there is slim.
