The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor
Now while it’s true that in this case, at least the male Mercenary has some empowerment, I honestly have no idea what that top is supposed to be… at all.
It’s like it’s a garment designed by someone who has never seen clothes but has heard about 90′s comic fashions.
And it doesn’t help that the marketing guys feel that the essence of an anime type MMORPG is cleavage and the occasional thigh on display.

Half mark on thigh highs… because while they’re her sock/stockings they’re made of leather so they basically have all of the hazards of being boots. Nothing like the male equivalent is well, none of the guys got sexy costumes.
It is worth noting that there was an issue with this skin that Blizzard has since addressed, one so big it made gaming news headlines:
The tweak? Well people were upset that Witch Mercy still kept her traditional tagline of “Heroes never die!” instead of antagonist Witch Mercy’s tagline of “My servants never die!”
Because yeah we didn’t mention that, the reason she got this novelty skin is because she’s an enemy in the new Halloween game mode… she’s not really part of the story or anything, but she’s an enemy.
Thank goodness they fixed that up!

I don’t know if anyone has submitted anything from this game yet, but his is Skye from a fairly new game from Hi-Rez called “Paladins – Champions of the Realm” and it’s basically a free to play version of Overwatch. Skye is one of four or five characters but she is by far the worst in my opinion. Her costume is bad enough but my favorite part is the fact that her right leg is somehow transcending dimensions to that it ended up behind her left leg without bending. She kind of fits into the assassin archetype. She’s supposed to be fast and stealthy so I guess maybe having reality altering legs might be helpful for that somehow.
Skye’s outfit actually score surprisingly okay on the bingo, mostly because it’s not about showing skin but rather projecting a message.
Seems fine at first glance? Sure. But this is how Skye is introduced to you if you select her as your Champion in Paladins.
This was how she got introduced in their “meet the Champions trailer”:
It worth noting that Skye’s appearance is so ridiculous and lacking in credibility, she is the only hero who they show in action first before doing the intro cinematic or letting you see her from a third person view.
Hi-Rez apparently managed to make a sexy female assassin who’s less intimidating than Widowmaker due to “can we fap to this” being her only character concept design priority, then chickening out and putting black skin tight material over most of her skin.

League of Angels 2 is very determined to keep their armor design strictly in the “Elaborately generic metal lingerie” category. So determined to never do anything even remotely original they can’t even score a proper bingo this time.
