Blizzard Entertainment revised the design of one of its heroes, An Jina, a move that has met with mixed reactions.

A segment of the Overwatch community voiced dissatisfaction with An Jina’s initial design, primarily criticizing its perceived similarity to other female characters’ faces within the game.

In response to the feedback, Blizzard Entertainment pledged to make changes and has now unveiled her redesigned look.

The redesign aims to make An Jina bear a stronger resemblance to her brother, Wu Yang, as shown in the comparisons below:

However, the updated design has not been universally praised. Critics argue that the changes are minor and questionable in their impact, leading to a mixed reception.

Amidst the discussion, one artist humorously proposed their own “progressive” design, depicting An Jina with a more robust physique and incorporating several distinctive, satirical details into her character.
