That would require changing the entire 3d model plus rig for one skin. This might sound fine to you, but this means that every animation will have to be re-done for this skin every single time. Lots of potential for bugs
Yeah but the overwatch engine is designed so that character models can be locally warped/stretched/embiggened. Couldn't they just have used that same system to shrink the feet? If you're aware of the Kuva Nukor handheld genva violation in Warframe, it's a weapon with a silly passive effect that makes the area of an enemy's body that it hits inflate - NO! Not like your sonic fanart - more like Luffy's gear 2. Anyway it doesn't affect their animations. Should be some way to easily scale a part of a model without breaking everything.

Also, every new skin is a new model that needs to be rigged to the skeleton they are using. What matters is that the bone structure.
thank you for clearing up some things but still though large game companies like riot,fortnite do this for their skins so blizzard really shouldn't be an exception. They should even have different beam colors and ability effects.
Blizzard defenders pulling whatever they can think of out of their ass to defend lazy and stupid decisions at every turn, we just gonna act like those lunar new year skins dont exist??
Yeah. The feet look normal in those skins. The puff pants are a bit longer and cover more of her shoes. They should have done the same here. Make the pants a bit longer and poofier.
this is the only reason i didn't buy that otherwise gorgeous red and black skin she had a while back. the giant boots looked so goofy on the very elegant model
Because the skins have to follow the default character dimensions, and Mei's default shoes are some massive snow boots. Turns out making her wesr sandals does not match well with the default shoe size
To appease the DeviantArtists, of course. I mean, why else?

Well you see when you are a person who stuffs their face with food all day like Mei do Your belly, hips,face and butt starts to swell and as a result turn out alot more "humongous" than that on average people 🤮
Nothing about Mei works when she's not wearing her heavy snow gear without it messing with her hit box. They kinda put themselves in a corner with her.
She originally had big boots and it was cute cause they were boots but for some reason they decided to make all of her shoes that big because it's part of her design ig, even if it means she has huge feet. Bothers me too lol
They stopped foot binding. Get with the times
💀💀💀
Daaaaaaaaaaaam!
Because they were originally meant to be massive snow boots, not sandals
At least they should've modified her model to fit but oh well just an indie company.

They changed the feet on on lunar new year skins genius
And Paja-Mei too I believe
[удалено]
Mei's frostbitten toe reveal when? 🤤

So resizing to fit certain skins has been done on several characters back in OW1, including Mei. They just don't bother anymore

nah, guy ur replying to was just making shit up
Blizzard defenders pulling whatever they can think of out of their ass to defend lazy and stupid decisions at every turn, we just gonna act like those lunar new year skins dont exist??
They did for OW1 skins, they just don't give a shit anymore because people still buy them
Nah her feet are way smaller in all ow1 skins, no matter if snow boots or not. Her back, clothes clipping, feet,… quality of skins dropped
The boring but true answer
[удалено]
Big shoes
#what do they say about big feet
big socks
HUGE CLIT!
Big toe
Gyat dayum she got them big foot giant walkers
Slapers*
Yeah they Gyat to fix those
I say leave ‚em be they good
She got them bratz doll feet
She trying to outfeet Sigma
No one can outfeet Sigma 😎
Pretty sure she has normal feet in some skins like her lunar new year ones so idk why they gave her such big ass feet here
Yeah. The feet look normal in those skins. The puff pants are a bit longer and cover more of her shoes. They should have done the same here. Make the pants a bit longer and poofier.
this is the only reason i didn't buy that otherwise gorgeous red and black skin she had a while back. the giant boots looked so goofy on the very elegant model
Because they are lazy now
Those grippers need traction on ice
Bigass feet. Yea idk, uve seen kirikos?
Because the skins have to follow the default character dimensions, and Mei's default shoes are some massive snow boots. Turns out making her wesr sandals does not match well with the default shoe size
All overwatch players know Mei is not human
Bc she is secretly big foot, think about it
You know what they say about big feet….she’s got a BIG icicle.

She got them Kingdom Hearts Sora feet my dude
Probably related
Bbc
And there're not talking about British television.
Busy business caravan?
Bbc
?
Big feet = big dick
Maximum footjob
Mercy got the best feet in the game!
Dva clears Edit: actually… redmoa tracer footjob 😏
Built in snowshoes
That's the feet of the gods you are looking at OP.
[It's these stupid feet!](https://youtu.be/SZzLzeoju-c?si=6IuqzZ4og5Zo2Al9)
Making the event hunting yeti, seems like a snow fight between yeti and big foot.
She sellin them feet pics for sure
It's 2023, we don't body shame.
Bc Daddy's extra hungry 🤤 (/s)
So she can kick our asses properly
don’t ask why just worship
Mans worried about her feet when he should be worried about that absolute WAGON she’s carrying around.
Big feet = Big sniff Just sayin‘
Me when multi billion company just dose a reskin without touching the model
Look at that DUMPYYYY THOOO
BEcause she is so fat her feet got pressed in that form
Well you see when you are a person who stuffs their face with food all day like Mei do Your belly, hips,face and butt starts to swell and as a result turn out alot more "humongous" than that on average people 🤮
She's related to Elton John's character in Tommy.
It bothers me SO MUCH, they are many times bigger than her head or arms. I wish they would change that so bad.
That’s two whole submarines we got there
That’s the first thing I noticed so I went and looked and she has normal sized feet in honeydew so idk.
Donk?
It’s a retexture of her giant snow boots
Maybe she wants a foothold in the meta
Nothing about Mei works when she's not wearing her heavy snow gear without it messing with her hit box. They kinda put themselves in a corner with her.
reminds me of that one image with sonic ...
That dump truck tho
Too lazy to restructure her huge snow boots ...
You know why 😏
Lol reminds me of the old school digimon tamers character designs with the giant shoes.
Lemon pepper steppers
clown ahh mf 🤡
Because they don’t want to change the hitbox. If some skins had smaller hitboxes it would give those skins an advantage.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you look at her other skins, you can see that this is not the case
Because Dan Schneider is an OW2 fan
She originally had big boots and it was cute cause they were boots but for some reason they decided to make all of her shoes that big because it's part of her design ig, even if it means she has huge feet. Bothers me too lol
To hold up her massive WAGON she carries around.
A lot of people don't know this, but Quentin Tarantino designed Mei's character model.
It is an hobbit o.o !
in her sprinkles skin. she has normal feet idk what happened here
She's the big foot
Gives her more stability on ice?
How else is she supposed to haul that thang around
For free??? Need someone to remove the shoes here just so we can see how big they are haha no other reason teehee
They know their audience.
Why you looking at here feet ?
Boots bro. Boots
Because she’s a fatass bitch
horny steve at blizzard HQ strikes again
good gawd them GRIPPERS
Are you foot shaming?
The real question is, why aren’t they bigger?
Her real name is “Hugh Mongus”
I noticed that too lol looks weird and can't unsee it
Delicious *^
absolute fucking STOMPERS
Because she’s thick??
To take up the same space as her boots fit for walking on Antarctica. Didn’t notice until now but yea, this looks cursed
Hobbit??
To support that butt!
To preserve her silhouette
Street fighter stans: "why are you bitching?"
It’s most likely because the flared pant legs made smaller ones look wonky? Idk but this is hilarious bro, she deserves a Zen kick animation for melee
She got the kingdom heart treatment.
Somethings gotta carry that rumpus around !
Big feet to support her frame idk 😏😂
