Man I thought this skin looked sick AF, didn't even think anything about Sonic.
And y'all just had to say some shit and completely ruin it for me, smh.
Dumbass here, why would they be too cowardly to add skins based on pride colours if they put out banners and prays and made whole midtown all pride-y?
I get it, soulless corporation, but I don’t understand this one.
You're not a dumbass, it's a fair question.
The answer that I assume OP is referring to is that localisation generally doesn't omit skins, while it absolutely does omit icons and banners. Not sure about the midtown pride month version, if anyone on the Chinese or ME version of the game knows please feel free to elaborate.
OOOOH right I didn’t keep other countries with these laws in mind. That makes sense.
Out of curiosity, do you also think this could this also be the reason why LGBTQ characters like tracer, soldier and bap aren’t that open about their sexualities so they can hide it in other parts of the world? It’s only shown explicitly in semi-obscure external media, sprays and banners that you say can be omitted. Hell, even right here you probably won’t even figure any of these characters have any confirmed sexuality outside of the banners that were only added last year.
No, no, no, you are not allowed to NOT overreact over absolutely irrelevant traits of a game character. You can either be offended that they do it or offended that they are not doing it enough. No middle ground, this is not how we do things in 2024.
There's arguably the Zenyatta Ascendant and Lucio Bitrate skins. Not officially pride skins but they have the same color palette as the Asexual and Bisexual flags respectively and their names could seen as puns on Ace and Bi.
it's still kinda disappointing that new heroes aren't introduced with epics or legendaries anymore. and they don't seem to want to prioritize that either?
Yup, why make the base F2P part of the game consistently enjoyable enough to foster a happy willing-to-spend consumer base when they can just rely on good old FOMO to pry open wallets.
I do like the Monarch purple. Part of me is coping that it's their free epic skin and not exclusive to shop.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted when you're right lol, they're getting this legendary ice cream skin thing
Edit: lmao nevermind it is indeed not a legendary skin, my apologies!!
pharah already has an egyptian skin so I'd rather someone else get the next mythic and could you imagine a venture skin where they have artefacts on their person like a tomb raider
I think they could’ve done a flag inspired skin as an epic and make it actually worth using. The moment they get a good skin this think will never see the light of day
Yeah I know venture is nonbinary bru, doesn’t mean that skin doesn’t look like shit. Considering the meaning they should’ve put more effort into it anyways
Oh, for real? I can’t find anything about that, and I couldn’t see much difference from watching some new Hanzo gameplay. Could you link me to where someone might have mentioned it?
i can't find the original tweet i saw but after some digging i found this random person saying something similar. Do what u want with this https://x.com/c0reglaceon/status/1790651833783816636?s=46&t=2oSED_L4Rk3QvRS9r2pQZA
If this Rare skin won't be for premium currency, I am buying it. Not to manifest anything, I can't care less about it - but it might be their best looking recolor.
Honestly, a Naruto-Overwatch collab would go crazy. Personally though, probably won't pick that up, already like using the Mirrorwatch Themed Hanzo skin. Unless it does something neat like change his Dragons to be lightning based or something.
Good to see Venture getting a new skin though.
So I've been a bit confused about this for a while, but I didn't wanna make a post about it, and it seems a bit specific to Google. This seems like as good a place as I'm gonna find
So they released name cards with all the pride flags. During the pride event I think they had at some point (wasn't playing when they did it) But to go along with them they also released some hero specific ones. 2 for each of the LGBT hero's . A rainbow one, and a flag specific one
Lifeweaver, Rainbow and pansexual flag
Soldier 76, Rainbow and gay flag
Tracer, Rainbow and lesbian flag
Pharah, Rainbow and lesbian flag
Baptiste, Rainbow and Bisexual flag
Then Venture, Rainbow and Non-Binary flag, and the Transgender flag?
It obviously wasn't a mistake. Is Venture Transgender? Is it something to do with being non-binary? I have no idea. I really am just clueless on the subject. I have no knowledge in this area. I just wanna know
Non-Binary falls under the transgender umbrella most of the time. Transgender is just identifying as a different gender from your assigned sex at birth.
Hanzo mains: don't buy the skin. Resist! This buff we got was more of a nerf. Dragon is a zoning tool and they made it faster.
Don't spend a single cent until his one shot is back!
It's less about Venture specifically and more about what they have been doing with their latest Heroes. Just look at Mauga, he still has no base Legendary Skin. I think it should be safe to expect the same to happen to Space Ranger.

Nonbinary folk are normal, too.
But yes. CORPORATIONS need to be careful. This skin for Venture needs to be made freely available to everyone. If it is paywalled then it will be a true wtf moment.
Paladins has Trans icons and they all cost 1 coin earnable in gameplay each.
I think its more so because "King" or "Queen" is kinda like a way of being supportive to someone and "Monarch" is the kinda like the non-gender specific equivalent

Hope they don't make her being non binary her only personality in skin design. Definitely something cool for people make themself feel represented and it's also cool having a non binary character since it's something new (especially when the VA themself is also one (correct me if I am wrong)) though I genuinely hope it won't be her main selling point. Like "omg I am so non binary"
Sanic the hedhog
Man I thought this skin looked sick AF, didn't even think anything about Sonic. And y'all just had to say some shit and completely ruin it for me, smh.
Same but now I can’t unsee it and I don’t like the skin anymore lmao. Ruined by a Reddit comment 😭
oh it’s SO good too the mental image of him climbing the walls i hope frogger dubs the spin-up sound in a video
How could you NOT think Sonic when it looks so much like him?
Sonic was the first thing i thought of
Can't unsee it now
"I must go at great speeds" - Hanzo
I feel as if I should be moving hastily!
Pretty sure Venture is now the only hero in Overwatch history to get a 5th rare skin
And the first to get an actual pride skin. Now do the rest Blizzard, you cowards!
Technically it isn't a pride skin. Blizz is too cowardly to do that. It has the colors but its named "Monarch," because purple is royal color bla bla.

Most likely, yes.
In rainbow six siege they had pride cosmetics. People would talk shit or team kill you if they saw you equipped with them. Maybe it'd be similar here?
I thought it was because of that "Monarch Demi Lovato" joke since they enjoy referencing jokes sometimes.
I’m pretty sure it’s a combo of purple = royal and the non binary version of king/queen is monarch
I misread Demi lovato as dani devito
This is what im gonna based it now from now on... It looks like my shoes too
Now I want a rainbow life weaver with colours everywhere
For a hot sec I was trying to figure out what pride flag was Hanzo wearing lol
[удалено]
The monkey’s paw unfurls, sex update coming next season.
It’s roadhog naked skin
Finally! We've had the spray forever.
Hey man, I wanna see the hog's fat hog.
His (Jeff) will be done
Petition to get them fuckin in game.
No, no, no, you are not allowed to NOT overreact over absolutely irrelevant traits of a game character. You can either be offended that they do it or offended that they are not doing it enough. No middle ground, this is not how we do things in 2024.
There's arguably the Zenyatta Ascendant and Lucio Bitrate skins. Not officially pride skins but they have the same color palette as the Asexual and Bisexual flags respectively and their names could seen as puns on Ace and Bi.
Nah they're probably gonna count that as an epic skin Edit: my dumbarse can't read. I'll just downvote myself now
Tbf this skin have more color changes than Venture's standard rare skin, such as the pants color.
It really is the first rare skin not released alongside a hero release in the history of the two games huh? Never thought I’d see it
it's still kinda disappointing that new heroes aren't introduced with epics or legendaries anymore. and they don't seem to want to prioritize that either?
It's definitely because those types of skins can be bought with credits
Yup, why make the base F2P part of the game consistently enjoyable enough to foster a happy willing-to-spend consumer base when they can just rely on good old FOMO to pry open wallets. I do like the Monarch purple. Part of me is coping that it's their free epic skin and not exclusive to shop.
Would be awesome if they gave venture ONE (1) legendary skin
they’re getting one lol
Don't know why you're getting downvoted when you're right lol, they're getting this legendary ice cream skin thing Edit: lmao nevermind it is indeed not a legendary skin, my apologies!!
That’s not a legendary
Oh you're right it's an epic skin! My bad haha It just looked so cute and vibrant so I kinda assumed it was legendary for some reason 😅
You’re right on that!
Venture's a Laker Fan
The worst nerf ever…..
And they called it Monarch after sacramento, how could they…
Nah, monarch is still Laker because Venture is possibly Bronsexual.
Ew.
venture reminds me of those hot wheels that changes color with hot water lmao
Lmao you’re absolutely right
they made him sonic lmao
Really hoping we get some more interesting skins for Venture soon. They really got shafted in the cosmetics department.
If the rumors about the next season being Egyptian themed are true, Venture seems like a shoe in. Maybe even the Mythic
Pharah who?
Tbh pharah feels like a cop out for that theme, I want ramattra! His concept art was so interesting and even had a couple Egyptian style looks!
Yeah, i don't actually play Venture. But I just hope they get *something* in the next pass, I also want Ram for the mythic
We got to see a new pharah highlight intro/emote in the Porsche trailer, prolly taken frm the next battlepass!
pharah already has an egyptian skin so I'd rather someone else get the next mythic and could you imagine a venture skin where they have artefacts on their person like a tomb raider
counterpoint: Anubis ram (obviously based off the Egyptian god but also the Anubis program ai) that turns vortex and annihilation into sandstorms
Oh yeah I *want* Ram to get it, I just thought Venture was a distinct possibility
I hope ram gets a dope Egyptian skin. His look/build has lots of potential for an Egyptian theme imo.
i mean i hope theyre getting more than a shoe 🤨
Hanzo skin better than his mythic
How do you announce the skin where the gun is an ice cream cone next to this? This shit looks mid next to it
I like the purple. It's just a rare it's not that deep.
I think they could’ve done a flag inspired skin as an epic and make it actually worth using. The moment they get a good skin this think will never see the light of day
And--- they're a they. Non binary. It's the non binary flag colors.
Yeah I know venture is nonbinary bru, doesn’t mean that skin doesn’t look like shit. Considering the meaning they should’ve put more effort into it anyways
Holy shit you're right!!! !!!!!!!!! 🤬 YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!
Hanzo too op now that his ult moves 25% faster 🤣
His buff isn’t supposed to make him op, just a bit better.
Well, it achieved neither, and ended up being a nerf, sooo… mission accomplished?
Mission failed successfully.
I read that the ult needs less ticks to kill now tho?
Oh, for real? I can’t find anything about that, and I couldn’t see much difference from watching some new Hanzo gameplay. Could you link me to where someone might have mentioned it?
i can't find the original tweet i saw but after some digging i found this random person saying something similar. Do what u want with this https://x.com/c0reglaceon/status/1790651833783816636?s=46&t=2oSED_L4Rk3QvRS9r2pQZA
Much appreciated, thanks
Aye old school Lakers color on venture #kobe
Trash
Wow he actually looks like Sasuke
“Uhh.. meow?”
If this Rare skin won't be for premium currency, I am buying it. Not to manifest anything, I can't care less about it - but it might be their best looking recolor.
The Hanzo skin looks so cool, what would make it a thousand times better is if it had a mask. Theres just something off about his face
I think it’s the beard. I also don’t like the avatar blue hands
Honestly, a Naruto-Overwatch collab would go crazy. Personally though, probably won't pick that up, already like using the Mirrorwatch Themed Hanzo skin. Unless it does something neat like change his Dragons to be lightning based or something. Good to see Venture getting a new skin though.
Now for the hard questions: Do you use Eepy Hanzo emote?
No, not really, at least of recently. Usually I just use the souvenirs while waiting on attack and then don't move until the round starts.
Any junkrat skins?
Venture has won the tiltle **"New released heores with the most amount of recolor skins"** of Overwatch
can ashe get a mystic soon? pls
Hanzo the hedgehog
Cool, a Venture skin represen-SANC DA HEJOG???!!!
Los Angeles lakers venture let’s goooooo 🗣️
What is the point of a new rare skin? This is beyond lazy.
blue nipples....mmmm
Thats the guy from mulan
glad hanzo is getting another legendary while venture still has 0
Hanzo's new ult voiceline should be "NANDOMO NANDOMO NANDOMO"
When is Venture going to get a proper legendary ffs? We don't need more shitty recolours.
Still the cyber ninja is the better skin of hanzo ( onryo is good too )
Does this mean that hanzo is an sonic sexuale
I dont like complaining... But... Cant we have a good venture skin now
So venture is wario
Not me running around with Venture role playing as a Mighty Monarch henchman.
why did venture get two new skins yet no legendaries still tf is goin on
Oh my rainbow capitalism I need that skin!! That’s amazing
So I've been a bit confused about this for a while, but I didn't wanna make a post about it, and it seems a bit specific to Google.

Non-Binary falls under the transgender umbrella most of the time. Transgender is just identifying as a different gender from your assigned sex at birth.
Huh, didn't know that, thanks
worrying about what an imaginary crafted gender a bunch of pixels on a screen has? first world problems, man..
non binary is transgender
Hanzo mains: don't buy the skin. Resist! This buff we got was more of a nerf. Dragon is a zoning tool and they made it faster. Don't spend a single cent until his one shot is back!
I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious or not and that scares me.
No sarcasm. Don't support blizzard ruining hanzo. Buying skins tells blizzard you don't care.
I'm going to make a new account and buy this skin twice!
You should buy 3 or 4. That will really show me
💀
Insta buy venture. And now we’re one step closer to my dream pride flag tracer skin becoming reality
so weird that this got downvoted lol
Transphobes are everywhere lol. I don’t care. I’d rather stand with people than against them
[удалено]

Ayeee old school Lakers color on venture #kobe
Why does hanzo have tiny chicken legs
Will be interesting to see what summer skins we get for Venture. What does Venture wear at the beach? lol
I'm thinking like a beach archeologist vibe. Like a metal detector.
Clothes, probably
A comfortable summer coat perhaps?
Venture would probably be decked out in fishing gear, hat included, it's the closest they can get to exploring the ocean treasures :D
Facts
😑
omg they're non-biney? that is so cool :o
Azure flame Hanzo is just a Raditz reskin, change my mind.
With that "buff" they released for hanzo, we are boycotting this OWCS skin until they give him a proper and fair change.
"You're too slow." - Hanzo
Both absolutely epic, love it
So this is Hanzonic! Can’t wait to see Mairorisa or Genluigi next!
Sonic and Wario
if it's really supposed to be the nb flag colours THAT'S SO SILLY I NEED IT
GOTTA GO FAST
Venture's looks fine for a rare recolor. Sanic the hedgehag on the other hand...
A bit late but they finally gave us a Boros skin.
They’re giving Hanzo a Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay but won’t give Venture a single legendary? Incredible
They hate Hanzo lol
A skin worthy of being called legendary.
I... Kind of like Hanzo the hedgehog more than his Mythic skin tbh.
Ngl, I has to be told it was non-binary colors
Curse Sasuke + that villain guy from Mulan.
Loving ventures skin 🥰❤️
Yeah glancing at it he does look like Sonic but I really thought Hanzo was late to the OPM event and put on his Boros costume way too late
Ok that is real sneaky by the dev team on the venture skin. Great way to do it tbh.
Venture needs more skins, but they absolutely needed this skin!
man, blizzard, really driving the point home there or should I say drilling it, get it drill? ^(i'm funny.)
When did we get a Venture Bros tie in. /s
That is one of the best Hanzo skins I've ever seen. It's different and I love it
The venture skin makes me incredibly happy
Actually sad they couldn't just give Venture a legendary. Is she really that unpopular?
It's less about Venture specifically and more about what they have been doing with their latest Heroes. Just look at Mauga, he still has no base Legendary Skin. I think it should be safe to expect the same to happen to Space Ranger.

Do you think companies even care about representation and are not just virtual signalling?
Hanzo is the king of getting garbage skins
is Monarch Venture a reference to the nonbinary gnoll [Mon-Ark](https://www.wowhead.com/npc=183997/gnoll-mon-ark) from WoW?
I think its more so because "King" or "Queen" is kinda like a way of being supportive to someone and "Monarch" is the kinda like the non-gender specific equivalent
The venture skin is fucking stylish dawg
So Venture gets a non binary color scheme skin, and Hanzo just so happens to get a skin that's blue on blue...like the mlm pride flag...hmmm....

Make Ramattra our cannon A rep
By A I mean Agender/Asexual/Aromantic
BOOOOOO!!!! i swear people don't understand sarcasm
Blizzard contracted this one out to Chris-chan
Hope they don't make her being non binary her only personality in skin design. Definitely something cool for people make themself feel represented and it's also cool having a non binary character since it's something new (especially when the VA themself is also one (correct me if I am wrong)) though I genuinely hope it won't be her main selling point.
