Maybe I’ll afford them next year
Overwatch‘s Summer Games event returns this week, and Blizzard is currently passing the time until August 9 with previews of new legendary skins for characters like Roadhog, Ana, D.Va, and Winston.
Today’s the day I learned that I need Winston to be decked out in catcher’s gear and shades.

That said, I think I’d be silly not to save up for this sunny Ana outfit.
Along with new skins, the Summer Games event will also bring back Lúcioball until August 30. If you weren’t able to nab last year’s outfits (including Soldier: 76’s Grillmaster attire and Widowmaker’s swimsuit), this might be the time to hop on ’em. The recent Wrecking Ball cosmetics cleaned me out.
