Omnic Zenyatta from Overwatch has become quite hot with his latest skin – fans are excited.
For some reason, debates about the sexiness of Overwatch characters never seem to end. No, this time it’s not about Mei’s wasp waist or Tracer’s homosexuality, but about a totally unexpected hero: Zenyatta.
Currently, the “Year of the Rooster” event is taking place in Overwatch – the year of the rooster. Part of this event includes a ton of new skins, including one for our supportive Omnic monk. He embodies Tang Sanzang from the Chinese story “Journey to the West” – a Buddhist monk who travels the world collecting religious texts. However, he doesn’t seem particularly religious to the community – they find him quite sexy.
It’s understandable since the Omnic now has a real face for the first time, with clearly defined shapes, eyes, and lips. Previously, he had the rather generic “robot” look that many Omnics share. Only the Nutcracker skin was also recognizable as human – but that’s probably not worth mentioning.
No wonder fans on Reddit and Twitter are literally on fire, sending loads of messages comparing Zenyatta to other characters. Here are some particularly nice examples from Kotaku:
But not all players share this view, and some respond rather negatively to Zenyatta’s new appearance. Spongebob comparisons also don’t take long:
Of course, there are also some who found Zenyatta sexy before it became fashionable:
Now we just have to wait and see if the community’s wish will be fulfilled and the skin will be renamed to “Zenhotta” – but that seems rather unlikely.
You can find all the new skins from the “Year of the Rooster” in this post.
