The Overwatch Chinese New Year Skin for Mei seems to make her look a bit thinner, according to some players. Blizzard though has acknowledged that a bug is responsible for the glitch.

Year Of The Rooster Look For Mei

Mei's default skin is the Eskimo outfit but Blizzard has released a Chinese New Year outfit for her. The new skin though has a glitch that made the female hero thinner. She actually looks good but other players are not happy with it. Here is a photo comparison of Mei in the two skins.

To the casual observer, there seems to be a little difference considering that the Eskimo skin is a bulky suit. Some of the critics though point out that Mei's waist in the New Year skin seems smaller than normal.

Blizzard Admits "Skin Bug"

Overwatch developer Blizzard posted its explanation about the "waist glitch". The game community manager said that Mei's new Luna Chang'e skin has a bug that's making the heroine's waist look smaller. Fortunately, the bug is now fixed and the various gaming platforms will soon receive their respective patches.

Overwatch players posted their various reactions about Blizzard's announcement. Some were even surprised that such a bug exist. This is not the first time though that Mei has been mired in controversy about her skins. Players complained during the Winter Wonderland event about the rarity of her Christmas skin.
