Ashe mains in Overwatch 2 are facing a thorny predicament with the Lead Rose mythic weapon skin! 🌹 Since Season 15 launched, players report being unable to unequip this gorgeous pink-and-black rifle cosmetic. Imagine loving a skin but being forced to use it forever – that’s the frustrating reality for many right now. The bug specifically hides the option to select Ashe’s default Viper rifle in menus, making Lead Rose a permanent accessory. How’s that for an unintended commitment? 😅

This glitch feels extra ironic given how hyped players were for Lead Rose back in Season 14. Mythic weapon skins like this are still fresh additions to Overwatch 2, evolving from Reinhardt’s debut in Season 11 to seasonal releases. While Reinhardt mains dodged this issue, Ashe’s rifle seems uniquely cursed. Reddit threads exploded with reports like mooo_mo’s, where unequipping became impossible overnight. Is this Blizzard’s sneaky way of making us appreciate mythic skins? 🤔

🔍 Why Ashe? The Uniqueness of the Bug

Unlike other heroes with legendary or mythic weapon options, only Ashe suffers this lockout. It’s especially baffling since:

• ✅ Other mythic skins work flawlessly

• ✅ Legendary weapon skins remain switchable

• ❌ Ashe’s default rifle simply vanishes from menus

Blizzard’s already confirmed awareness, hinting at a patch soon. But with Season 15’s massive hero perks overhaul stealing the spotlight, will Ashe’s plight get priority? The perks system redefines gameplay by letting players upgrade abilities creatively – a win overshadowed by this cosmetic hiccup.

People Also Ask

➤ Can you avoid the glitch if you don’t equip Lead Rose?

Absolutely! But once it’s on, the default skin disappears. Proceed with caution until patched.

➤ Does this affect gameplay or just visuals?

Pure aesthetics – your headshots still hurt, just with extra floral flair.

➤ Are other Season 15 bugs this persistent?

Minor issues popped up, but Blizzard’s quick patches smoothed most wrinkles. Ashe’s lockout? Still waiting…

Season 15’s launch has been surprisingly smooth otherwise – no server crashes or game-breaking flaws. Yet this one visual bug nags at collectors who crave flexibility. Will future mythic skins inherit this ‘no returns’ policy? Unlikely, but it makes you wonder: are weapon skins becoming too complex? 💭

For now, Ashe mains juggle love for Lead Rose’s design and frustration at its permanence. Blizzard’s track record suggests a fix is coming, but until then, it’s a rose-tinted prison. Maybe it’s time to embrace the aesthetic? Or will you bench Ashe until freedom returns? 😉
