Overwatch players hate Mei's new outfit... again

One month ago she was too similar to the original, now she's too different.

When Overwatch's Winter Wonderland event started last December many players aired their frustration over that Mei's themed skin was too similar to the original. Back then, Blizzard decided to somewhat apologise for their "cool meter being off". Now they've done it again.

The Year of the Rooster event started last night, and it didn't take long for many players to notice that Mei's new Luna and Chang'e skins seemed to make her waist quite a bit thinner. This quickly reached the game's forums, where different theories started showing up. Some said that Blizzard did this on purpose, others that it was a bug. Obviously, Blizzard says it's the latter:

"There's a bug with Mei's Luna and Chang'e skins right now that's causing her waist to appear much smaller than normal. We've already fixed the bug internally, but it's going to require a patch to implement (ideally it'll be included in whatever next patch hits your gaming platform)."

Hopefully they'll fix some of the other, less controversial, bugs with the patch as well. Do you think Mei's skins have been that bad, or are you a fan of them?
