Overwatch players hate Mei's Christmas outfit

Even Blizzard apologised for it.
Ricardo C. Esteves Editor-in-Chief Portugal 19 December 2016

During the festive Winter Wonderland event Blizzard introduced on Overwatch, Mei got a new "legendary" skin inspired by Christmas, but it seems fans didn't enjoy the suit. It was so embarassing that even Blizzard felt the need to apologise for it via Jeff Kaplan, the game's director. Over at Blizzard's forums, Kaplan stated the team was "sorry you are disappointed with Mei's winter skin."

"We thought that was pretty special and we had done it specifically based on community suggestions from months ago when people were speculating that we might have a winter event. Apologies that our 'cool meter' was off from yours on this one."

What do you think? Is it that bad?
