Overwatch 2's New Ashe Skin Makes It Harder To Aim

thegamer.com:

Ashe received a new skin in Overwatch 2 this week. The Raijin skin which, for the most part, players appear to be happy with even though it's a paid cosmetic. The one big issue with the new skin doesn't become clear until after it has been purchased as many of you quickly realized the outfit obscures some of your vision when you look down the barrel of Ashe's gun.

There are already a number of threads on the Overwatch subreddit highlighting the issue and warning other players about the problem before they buy it too. RuFous2233 has shared three images perfectly highlighting just how problematic the new skin is. The first image shows how it looks when aiming with the new skin applied, the second without it, and then the third includes a translucent pink area showing just how much of your view is obscured by Ashe's new outfit.

Since Ashe is a Damage hero, those of you who use her will be looking down the sights an awful lot. That effectively means with the Raijin skin applied, Ashe is massively hindered at best, and downright unusable at her worst. One reply to the post claims the skin's prongs are so big that they completely obscure Tracer and bots when playing in the practice range.

Another reply suggests Blizzard include stats for individual skins, allowing devs to quickly pick up on a potential problem with one like this. Even without that new feature, Overwatch dev Jared Neuss has already acknowledged the issue and confirmed it is being discussed, and hopefully fixed, internally.

While Overwatch 2 has improved quite a bit since its rocky launch last year, Blizzard has still been attempting to put out quite a few fires in season three. Earlier
