According to Blizzard, the new Azure Flame Hero skin is meant to “evoke the unstoppable power of our top-tier competitors.” Skin designer TB Choi focused on making players feel “powerful” with the skin equipped inOverwatch 2, and natural lightning, thunder, storm, and flame motifs were the main inspirations for the new skin. The skin may aesthetically empower players inOverwatch 2competitive modes, but players playing more casually may still enjoy the new skin.
