Summary
AnOverwatch 2player pointed out the missed opportunity for Ashe to get a skin as part of the crossover withAvatar: The Last Airbender. SinceOverwatch 2collaborated withOne-Punch Man, Blizzard has periodically released cosmetics in partnership with well-known pop culture names, like the most recent withAvatar.
Ashe, in particular, was one of the characters that got aCowboy Bebopskin, the team-up that brought cosmetics inspired by the popular 1998 anime toOverwatch 2. The collab dressed the leader of the Deadlock Gang as Faye Valentine, one of the main characters in the anime who joins Spike Spiegel and Jet Black during their adventures. Even BOB got a new makeover inspired by Faye’s ship. Now, aOverwatch 2player has imagined what skin could have been given to Ashe fromAvatar.
Redditor R2d2s_bleeper lamented thatOverwatch 2didn’t announce a skin for Ashe based on June, one of thecharacters fromAvatar: The Last Airbender. The reason for the player’s sadness lies in the fact that both characters are voiced by Jennifer Hale, a well-known voice actress who has worked onMortal Kombat 1(Kronika),Bayonetta 3(Bayonetta), andX-Men ‘97(Jean Grey). The OP also notes that BOB could have received a cosmetic inspired by the badger mole, a giant blind mammal found in the Earth Kingdom of theAvataruniverse.
