Doomfist has been live on the Overwatch PTR for awhile now, but has, until now, been without any unlocks. That's fine, since the point of having him on the PTR is to test out his skills not his skins, but finally we get to see all of his 57 unlocks. The purpose of this article is to look at the skins the fistinator has to wear.
Rares
Daisy
Lake
Plains
Sunset
The rares are nothing special, but rares rarely are. Of the four, Lake is the best looking. None of them are much better, if at all, than Doomfist's default colors, so file these skins under "meh."
Epics
Cheetah
Painted
Both of the epic skins are incredibly cool, though Cheetah is the by-an-inch winner. Painted is still really cool, but by painting over his skin with white, contrasted against his dark clothes and fist of doom, it makes it slightly easier for snipers to target his head.Expect the Cheetah name to be changed, once enough people point out to Blizzard that those are leopard spots on his arm, not cheetah ones.
Legendaries
Caution
Irin
Avatar
Spirit
9s and 10s in Doomfist's legendary skins lineup. Caution and Irin turn him into something of a cyborg, with Caution using the black and yellow to warn people ahead of time of the coming pain (fun fact: the reason we use yellow and black for caution signs is because bees are yellow and black and bees hurt). Irin is the better looking of the two, simply because the color scheme and the chrome armor plating reminds me of Dr. Doom.
Avatar and Spirit turn Doomfist into a spiritual warrior, a legendary hero/villain from ages past. Of the four, Avatar is the best looking. While the blue coloring on Spirit is cooler, the red mask clashes with the skin too much, and the Smurf comments it would generate would be irritating after awhile.
So what do you think? Do you like Doomfist's skins or no? Which skins would you have preferred to have seen? Have any ideas for his holiday skins? Share your thoughts in the comments!
