The Winter Wonderland event of the Blizzard Entertainment's "Overwatch" was a success, until the reports of the failing skin of a legendary character, Mei. Now, to those who got disappointed, Blizzard Entertainment and "Overwatch" developers are now sending their apologies, while making their way towards improving what has been such a failure feature.

Just like the rest of the characters in the game, Mei has been given a skin especially designed to fit the theme of the Winter Wonderland. However, unlike those with Sombra who is the newest character in "Overwatch," Mei's skin fails as it makes her a snowman instead of the anticipated ice block transformation.

Due to the number of fans who got disappointed with the features of Mei on the game's Christmas event, "Overwatch" game director Jeff Kaplan has started breaking the glass as reported by the Techno Buffalo.

"Hi there. Sorry you are disappointed with Mei's winter skin," Jeff Kaplan started explaining. "Our reasoning for it being Legendary was that we completely redid the visual effects for Cryo-Freeze (we turned the ice block into a snowman)."

"For people concerned that Mei is not going to get another Legendary for a long time, you need not worry. We have something pretty awesome for her early next year," Jeff Kaplan continued.

With his words, Jeff Kaplan also felt a bit disappointed due to the under appreciation made by the fans for the event skin of Mei. Never did he expect that people will have their own meter of coolness, and so now they are judging the character's skin based on unquantified meter of coolness.

Now, to be able to raise up from these rants, "Overwatch" is expected to release better skins next year, as also per the confirmation of the game director, Jeff Kaplan. More updates will come up early next year to forget about the disappointments in the Winter Wonderland series.
