Best looking skin for Zarya. No reference to that player who was accused of sexual assault. Innocent until proven guilty? Yeah right, he was right away canceled with no evidence of police investigation.
So much for a loyalty blizzard?
Charges were dismissed, police ended investigation.
So can we have Zarya Alien skin in shop?

I don’t think Blizzard will try a risky move by trying to bring back the MVP skin.
frankly i think it’s silly to still connect this skin to sinatraa. if you look at it you don’t think of him, but of a cinematic tribute to man in black movies, first of all. what makes the skin important (and therefore a tribute to sinatraa) is its exclusivity, not its origin or the logos (now removed). i bought that skin when it was available simply because i like aliens and i like the particular effect it has.
you can simply remove the OWL words and “trivialize” the skin as something standard from the gallery. because in the end, no one really cares about synatraa (or the owleague, now that it no longer exists) but rather a very nice skin of zarya that the community would appreciate more than the total drought of new skins of Zarya in OW2 Era that pampers waifus like mercy and kiriko in the shop.
anyway, blizzard is really very stupid in managing its scandals without generating an unnecessary streisand effect (see the name cassidy instead of separating the figure of the developer mccree with a cowboy of a video game who had already become famous with that tagname ).
want to erase a scandal that no one will ever remember except in the “trivia” section of a wiki? just delist the exclusivity status.People might still complain today about when Tracer had her butt more exposed at the game’s release before it was changed to pose.

I think there is a chance, albeit miniscule, that the skin WILL be unvaulted. I say that because now, unlike before, it is visible in the Hero Gallery when you filter for Legacy/Classic items. Previously, the skin wouldn’t show up regardless. The OWL MVP skins showed up in the Gallery prior to being added to the shop, like Zen Nakji, so this has happened before. We’ll just have to wait and see. Blizzard did their part by publicly severing ties with the OWL player in question and they removed branding from the skin itself and offered refunds for those that wanted one.

Well, I hope they not but Blizzard is well known for breaking the promises, like the one with Pink Mercy. Just money making machine nothing more.
Nice! I hope they will add that skin to the shop. A lot of players want it.

what do you mean? that it was meant as exclusivity? that is a completely irrelevant case, since 100% of the proceeds went (and went again) to charity and not into blizzard’s pockets. and with a shameful community of mercy main zombies who had gone as far as to buy an account with mercy pink at exorbitant prices on the black market. very shameful from them.
different would be to have passed off the blizzcon skins as exclusive and now they return to a different price from here 50 dollars / euro of virtual ticket.
