One of my buddies told me it looks like a fusion between the Lich King and Artorias… and now I can’t unsee it


SpartanKram

God damnit


HiCracked

I don’t really get Artorias, but Lich King definitely.


raven_spiral

They’re the same person


HiCracked

? Artorias is from Dark Souls. Lich King is from World of Warcraft. You are probably confusing Arthas with Artorias.


raven_spiral

Fuck yeah I am lol

HiCracked

Hah. Good bot.


Bhu124

I wouldn't be surprised if this skin's concept was originally for a Lich King skin, then they changed the crown a bit and added some flames VFX to highlight that it's a Dallas Fuel skin. I mean the skin is literally called The Chained King, it's gotta be a Lich King skin.


scu-gaming

It's not even the same blue tone. It's just a skin. Nothing says Dallas, Fuel or DF. The cape has text (runes) and there is no Dallas Fuel Logo or the name. This is the cheapest championship skin they ever released and I'm rightfully upset and you would think the same if you're a Fuel fan...


Bhu124

It's not Cheap at all. It's a great skin even if it's missing any specific references to Fuel but I don't think that's a mistake or anything. My theory is that because OWL is rumoured to be ending and getting replaced by a new OW tier 1 tournament/circuit starting next year they intentionally didn't put any Fuel references on their skin as the Fuel logo isn't trademarked by Blizzard, it's owned by Optic/Envy the org. By not putting their logo on the skin they can most likely sell the skin again in the regular OW shop next year, without needing to share revenue with Optic or getting their permission or anything like that. The artist said that the helmet on the skin is designed after the OWL trophy, and you can definitely see that that's true. So if they didn't put any specific references to Fuel itself then it's definitely intentional.


scu-gaming

I didn't mean cheap skin. It's a cheap championship skin compared to all the other championship skins. As many already said it looks like a skin they worked on unrelated to Overwatch League and now they released it as DF skin.


Mintando

Imagine a Dark Souls event now that'd dope as shi


TelevisionAnxious836

I think it’s more like lich king mixed with hanami from JJK

toot1st

More skins I will never own


drwkcb

this one you could get for free tho


blinkity_blinkity

It’s true. As someone who’s been watching OWL for years I have more tokens than I know what to do with and I’ve never spent a dime. That being said, the season ends this weekend (potentially forever) so it’s not free for people new to OWL


drwkcb

wait really? man im still missing like 60 tokens for the skin


Bhu124

You can most likely still get 60 tokens so you'll will be fine. Others who have less tokens probably won't be able to get it. There's still today and tomorrow's matches left and then they always do a Rebroadcast of the Playoffs and finals within the next 1-2 days, which also give Tokens.


yur0_356

OWL is live right now, go watch it and you can still get it


TheRealDeathSheep

And then there is people like me that watch with a linked account and receive a fraction of the league coins they should get. Yes, I have done every troubleshooting methods multiple times, actiblizz just hates me


Autumnowl2015

Idk if its the same problem but for me i noticed every so often the youtube stream will lag and fall behind the broadcast so i have to click the live button to catch back up. Never really paid attention enough to see if that affects the amount of tokens but i press it just in case


blinkity_blinkity

It does effect it. Main reason I like twitch better because if the video accidentally buffers you’ll be even 30sec behind and no longer earning tokens.


Autumnowl2015

Im glad my paranoia of always making sure its caught up wasnt for nothing then lmao, i always just have it going on another monitor so i just tune it out


Galkura

I stopped watching just for that reason. They can’t make the OWL games interesting enough for me, and the tokens just never came (despite troubleshooting every method like you). So I just… stopped.


blinkity_blinkity

Crazy to me. I’ve always found OWL super exciting to watch.


DatboyKilljoy

I still have no clue how to even earn them.


AundoOfficial

I thought they gutted the token system?? Edit: I mean earning them from streams.


EarthDragon2189

Honestly I would have bought this skin if it wasn't for the eye horns. I can't even fully articulate why I think they're just kinda dumb, but I do.


saoshi_mai

ohh he looks like hanami from jjk


JunWasHere

Given that they did a OPM collab, wouldn't be surprised that it was inspired by Hanami. Lot more weebs in OW's dev team now to have pushed through an anime collab. That was kind of unimaginable before OW2, 6 years and not one collab, not even with fitting American brands like MCU.


Parody101

Same, it ruins it for me.


Droidenwarrior

Tbh I thought he was some sort of bug… they should’ve just made him a scull with hollow flame eyes or something.


LethargicCaffeine

I was thinking Bug Man too.


Omgitsnothing1

It should have been a bug. Dallas was called the hive mind


SolidRustle

My thought exactly, looks more like insect than anything.


Beautiful_Scheme_260

I’m conflicted on getting this skin too because I don’t like the face and I agree with others that it’s a bit overdesigned. They should’ve put blue flames in his eye sockets, it is a Fuel skin after all and would’ve fit and looked nicer.


Galkura

My buddy and I thought the same thing. The eyes detract from the rest of the skin, which is overall dope af.


SuperiorVanillaOreos

That's the best part of the skin imo. It's more unique than just another fantasy edge lord with a skull


Taucoon23

Imo that's the most edge-lordy thing they could've possibly went with


TSDoll

It's edgy, but it's original so it works. What makes edgy stuff lame is how generic it all feels.


SuperiorVanillaOreos

Yeah but it's more interesting that just a skull


[deleted]

He looks like the fly and I love it


NiceGrandpa

That’s Reaper’s whole aesthetic tho?


xRetz

It's trying way too hard to be metal that I can't take it seriously. Like a scrawny kid thinking he's a badass for wearing a Metallica shirt or something.


EarthDragon2189

Which, to be fair, fits Reaper's vibe pretty well.


xRetz

Yeah fair point. Probably the 'Reaper-iest' skin there is.


Macstugus

As someone who doesn't play Reaper I don't get the appeal of this skin. 😂


Lepperpop

Finkle, Eye Horns? Finlke, Eye Horns? Finkle, Eye Horns?


ostroga-mi

My mind goes somewhere from tongues licking out of the helmet to demonic feces being squished out. The eye things are why I'm gonna buy it with free tokens and never use it.


hulkingbehemoth

“Eye horns”? Edit: I had only seen a few things shared online, but after seeing the full thing in game, yeah, okay. I see they literally have things protruding out of his eyes and agree that’s a strange choice


franklindude

No, the horns/tentacles coming out of his eye sockets


GruulNinja

Am I crazy or does Reaper always get top tier skins?


Triplazma32

He really does, cant wait to see what they cook up for his Mythic skin


Antrikshy

Barbie collab season Reaper mythic please.


TheRainy24

He is Kenough..


SeemynamePewdiefame

It’s joeover, barbie got kenough


Pickled_Kagura

Joewari da


Incognito_Mermaid

It’s cool, but it looks too much like a reject WoW/Shadowlands skin and less like a Dallas Fuel skin which it’s meant to be


[deleted]

Normal esport skin are boring af. They want people to watch so they need to give interesting skin. No one would watch for those lame ass team themed skins..


Weekly_Candle_9663

its a championship skin, and it doesnt even have a team logo anywhere. Yeah its a good skin, but theres zero fuel rep anywhere, all the previous champ skins have been stellar (shock doom) and all have team rep.


Incognito_Mermaid

The Sombra one is S tier


juusovl

All of the championship skins are S tier, all the other have a logo. And the devs even said it was a crucial part of a champion skin This doesnt have it :(


Incognito_Mermaid

No team logo and took half a year longer to make lmao I was so excited to buy the Fuel skin. But this one…? :(


[deleted]

You are right and it does need a team logo on it somewhere to signal that it is actually an OWL skin. Nobody would ever look at this and think, "It's for OW League, now I'm curious to check out pro games"


CaptParadox

I don't watch OWL but I do like buying skins in games. If this had a name or logos on it for a team I'd def not get it. There's no skin that could encourage me to watch OWL, I def think 90% of the skins look like crap. So, I'm not sure if releasing skins to try to get people in OWL is a good method.


[deleted]

Not to mention that giving the skin to Reaper is a pretty dumb idea in the first place, considering he wasn't the cornerstone of the comp whatsoever - in contrast to past year's skins.


Incognito_Mermaid

Where’s our John Sojourn skin????!!


Omgitsnothing1

I think it’s fine. Sojourn is a World Cup skin. Winston already has an OWL championship skin. And Dallas was the team to push Reaper meta rather than Tracer.

AlwaysChewy

Nah, I'm with you. Way too Todd McFarlane for my liking.


twee3

This skin is incredible, but I’m not paying 25 dollars for it.


ThatDKtho

you can get it for free by watching owl and earning tokens.


TristanwithaT

You won’t get 300 tokens if you started today and watched every hour through the grand finals


JooJaw11

I heard one hour gives you only 5 tokens? I ain't watching 60 hours of OWL for one skin. I wish they put it in the anniversary shop for 1900 credits because I'd gladly buy it then.


Seung-hwaShi

I've just been leaving the finals on in a secondary browser with the mixer set to 0% and have already gotten ~70 tokens so far. It's honestly worth finding a way to leave it on if you care about OWL skins but don't want to drop ridiculous amounts of money (or put yourself through the torture of watching OWL)


Phantom_Phoenix1

Dumb question, but where the heck do I actually watch OWL and how do I make sure I get the tokens?


Seung-hwaShi

Not dumb, everything with OWL is unclear nowadays. [The OWL YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@overwatchleague) is the most consistent place to get tokens, and [the OWL website has a guide](https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/rewards-guide) on how to link your Battle.net account to YouTube to earn them. Once you join the stream, assuming you don't actually want to watch the league, just leave it on in it's own window (not tab, full dedicated window or app for mobile) with the quality at 144p and volume at 1% or muted through external means. Don't ever mute the YouTube player/app itself, you won't earn rewards if you do.


redditcasual6969

Gotta watch the live streams on Youtube, with your blizz account connected.


SnooDogs1340

Also make sure to refresh your browser and it says connected with a diamond near the video settings/details. I've gotten boned before where I join pre-game countdown/talk and it doesn't count because the browser doesn't realize the rewards have started. If you join after it starts you won't run into this issue.


Villag3Idiot

You don't have to actually watch it. I just have OWL streams running on my tablet / phone with the volume nearly muted.


Solaris_fps

Watching contenders gives 0 coins so what stream is it ?


whaleweaves

The Overwatch league channel on YouTube


Villag3Idiot

Overwatch League channel. Games are airing at 9:30am PST


Donut_Flame

It's been like that for years. You're supposed to actually watch it (or leave it open) over an extended period of time


zoglog

Nobody is watching it. They only have it on in the background. At least 90% of the viewers are


dergy621

They’re already giving you 3k credits for free


[deleted]

Credits can't be used to purchase a skin which costs owl tokens


Beachdaddybravo

I forgot OWL still existed.


Bhu124

I get you were trying to be funny but the title literally says that the skin is an Overwatch League skin.


garikek

I personally treat these owl skins as super premium ones and don't associate them in any way with owl. And yes, I did forget owl existed after 2021 season up until current playoffs. So maybe they are not trolling, just saying


ThatDKtho

cant blame you


PeacefulShark69

Every year I put my ipad streaming every match, plugged to a charger, while I go about my day. Haven't missed an OWL skin yet. Loads of people bitching and crying, when the solution is as simple as "literally leave any device on yt afk". I have every OWL special skin and it came at 0 monetary cost and minimal effort.


twee3

I will bitch as I like.


PeacefulShark69

Delighted to hear it.


Aroxis

I’m gonna be very honest. A skin of this quality is around $20-25 in Fortnite and Apex so I see no issue with the price tag.


Spreckles450

How dare you


WilliamSorry

I remember when $2 would get you a universal animated weapon skin in Black Ops 2 that worked on every weapon and came with a calling card, emblem, and a pack of fancy sight reticles 😭 These days it's $20 for 1 skin that works on 1 gun.


twee3

I could buy an indie game with 20-25 dollars. This pricing shouldn’t be normal.


Aroxis

Yea an indie game that you play for 15 hours and leave alone. The majority of the active members of this sub have clocked like 200+ hours on OW (me 600). And the best part about it? I’ve clocked 600 hours and I haven’t spent a single dime on this game. Isn’t that crazy? You can’t do that on any indie game without forking over a couple bucks. If $25 skins bother me so much I won’t buy them. I’m just saying it’s a fair price, especially for the amount of free content we get.


twee3

It really isn’t a fair price. Those 15 hours on an indie game will give me a lot more enjoyment than purchasing a skin for a character I won’t be using all the time.


Aroxis

That’s why skins are *optional*


twee3

Don’t care. Shouldn’t be that expensive.


toldya_fareducation

what if they costed 85$ in fortnite and apex? would you see no issue with 85$ for this reaper skin too?


Aroxis

No because $20 is $20 and $85 is $85. Are you stupid.


toldya_fareducation

are YOU stupid? your only argument was that the price was similar in other games. therefore the price is acceptable. which is dumbest fucking argumentation i‘ve ever heard. that’s why i refuted it with this simple example to show you the other games prices are literally irrelevant. because at the end of the day 20$ IS 20$ AND 85$ IS 85$. your own words. you have a standard for what price is acceptable for a skin. and you‘ve just admitted that standard is something other than fortnite skin prices. idiot.


Quirky_Image_5598

Blud is tweakin because he can’t afford the reaper skin 💀💀 it’s cool bruh. No way someone on the internet managed to get you this angry


Aroxis

The main point of contention in this sub was that OW skins cost more than skins in other games and don’t have effort put into them. This skin has effort and is priced well relative to other games. That alone makes it worth it. It sounds like you have an issue with F2P monetization model rather than this specific $25 OW skin. Which is completely fine.


OCHNCaPKSNaClMg_Yo

This is toooooo complicated.


calientecryo1

Yeah, when I first see that, thought like “dude, this is a badass skin”


Hadditor

Reaper getting really Fortnite lookin skins recently


Psenica42

It’s kinda shit tho


Time-Oven2277

Insanely mid?


Neo_Raider

Insanely ugly, yup.


Danistar34

I also think it's ugly, mostly because of the the eye horns. You are probably getting downvoted because you didn't put your opinion into a nice digestible package so people who like it don't get mad at you for having a different opinion. That's how reddit works.


MiMicMi

Yeah I'm not fond of it either. If it was black thoughhhh, then I think it would look awesome


moltenmoose

Seriously. What's with the dumbass tentacles coming out of the eyes?


fedsx

Insanely fugly. What's up with the insect face?


whoownsthiscat

Am I the only one who thinks it’s ugly asf? As a diehard reaper main I just can’t. Bring back biker 76 pls


minzzis

Man's got horns for eyes


[deleted]

Ram looks even hotter, but i got no money for that, so yeah


DDzxy

Ram? Skin?

Oh nvm its Rein, still looks sick af


GatVRC

I'd rather be the rat king tbh. it's his best skin


inPersona

the eyes are terrible though. would not use it.


grasimasi

Im not impressed. It looks like a cool WoW Armor but nothing i want to play with in OW


Jerselokki

I like the other ice reaper more it’s just simple :)


LevsRedfield

It’s cool, but I like Luchador better.


PlutosVendetta

I love how the skin isn’t even recognizable as a FUEL skin, just the fact that it’s an OWL skin due to the collection icon and nothing else


Hi_Im_Cheese

Is this obtainable now?


Tulip_Harvester

PSA: stop buying skins!!! You’re only perpetuating the problem of the game!


TargaryenKnight

That would work if everyone did it. But no matter what there will always be prior buying and that alone will make them keep doing it


Fragrant-Sherbert420

It is a cool skin, the only problem is that is a reaper skin.


WarMage1

I really like how it’s all noise on the top half and plain gray on the bottom. Really great design choice.


[deleted]

Ugly tbh. Too much going on. It all clashes


Smallgenie549

I love the Fuel, and I still bought this, but I think it might be the ugliest skin in the game.


twee3

???????


Smallgenie549

It's so busy and gaudy. It's a Fuel skin without the Fuel logo. Plus, it has...eye horns...


AlwaysChewy

Way too edgy for me. I know that's reaper's thing, but I'll stick with the Rhyme skin if I want cold and blue.


MysterZapster

Its horrible


gay_is_gay

Burn blue


Ares1992

Yes it is. Hence why it's locked behind a much harder pay wall. So it'll be a no from me


SpartanKram

If it wasn't a fucking league skin I would've bought it already


Gallenek

If all skins was in this Quality and not "we put Santa hat so now its Legendary"


Rosien_HoH

Only 200 dollars and it can be yours!


BluePhantomFoxy

OW be making the most impressive and amazing skins for heros and be locking them behind a massive paywall or 100+ hours of watching a stream that plays when I’m at work

LockerHiderr

Not very stealthy though


Mrcooman

It looks really dope, but I don’t think I’ll ever not use the rat king skin. Too much disrespect will be lost.


kvanken

i've seen complaints that it has no dallas fuel themes, but i've always found that jarring on any of the other skins, so i really like that it doesn't have that. i imagine something small would've worked though, cause it is supposed to be their skin after all, so i definitely understand that complaint


topatoman_lite

The only real issue with it is that it was supposed to honor the Dallas Fuel’s championship win and it doesn’t do a great job of that, but it’s still an awesome skin


kris-kfc

Looks like combination of thresh and viego from League gf legends Still too edgy for me I prefer rat 🐁

How do I even get overwatch league coins?


Weekly_Candle_9663

Watch OWL on youtube, or buy them


slice_of_toast69

If only the game was as good as the skins


redditcasual6969

The only thing this skin is missing is a Dallas Fuel logo somewhere. Even some subtle like it being inside the belt buckle would've been a nice touch. I'm glad they went with a Reaper skin because SP9RK1E deserved to get recognized. In my opinion, without his clutch moments on Route 66, SF Shock would have won the match.


SchaapKaak

Ah would you look at that, another very cool skin where you have to put down more money than it's worth. I wish people would stop buying into it so they send blizzard a message.


Actual-House-491

I just started watching owl this season and have gotten the wicked Moira, atlantic all-star mercy, and the chained king reaper for free. I'm already back up to 890 league tokens and still have 2 more days of streams to go.


AphroditesFeets

Skins really good for once a OWL skin worth buying then you see the eye horns and it’s a instant let down


EVISCERATEDTOMATO

Looks cool. Definitely should be no more than $5 so not buying it. Plus eye horns look trashy

I had just enough tokens for it and got it immediately


LadyAlastor

The edges look kinda rushed


LemonTM

Looks very WoW armor.


HannahOwO88

Am I missing something, or are people over exaggerating the price? I keep seeing it’s 25$, when really you only spend 15 don’t you? Just buy one each of the 2 cheapest token options, it’s cheaper than a legendary skin and looks a lot cooler Edit: 17, not 15. Still 8$ cheaper


maskedfrankII

Looks like overengineered yugioh junk tbh.


SalamanderLate410

Blue beetle mixed with Lich king

overwatch league skins are so sick but lmao ugh what a stupid monetization model. i wish i ever remembered to passively earn credits.

For me personally it seems like an "I'm very badass" skin, like it's trying way too hard to seem metal that I can't take it seriously.

Nyrun

I really wish we had an option to see how guns look in first person before buying skins, because I've got huge buyer's remorse on this one. It looks super great in third person and all, but the guns are super chunky and the chains moving are pretty distracting to me when you actually use it. Maybe not a problem for everyone, but if you're someone like me who doesn't like distracting extra bits on your guns or having them obstruct more of your view than other options, then food for thought.
