GOAT Brigitte to Release for Launch of Overwatch League Season 3
The skin is in honor of the notorious Overwatch composition, GOATs, but it could also be honor of GOAT, Greatest of All Time. Either one works, but it's most likely based on the former rather than the latter.
The response has been rather mixed as some players are impressed with the creation while others are pissed off that Blizzard immortalized one of the most controversial periods in Overwatch's meta. GOATs started the downfall of viewership and player base for Overwatch, and it never fully recovered.
Instead of innovative compositions, teams were forced to play the same six heroes from the end of 2018 well into 2019.
Players will have the opportunity to purchase the skin Feb. 6-19.
