Sepreth(@Sepreth):Overwatch director says the team prioritizes skins for heroes that “support the actual bottom-line business.” Aaron Keller said the studio wants to spread cosmetics across the roster, but still needs choices that keep the free-to-play game financially viable as it nears 55 heroes. They release two Mythic skins per season: one for a reliable seller and one for a hero that has received less attention recently. Keller said the team is expanding its capacity so it can do both, while still being “responsible” so support for the game can continue.
