[Bug]Mercy Skin is Default when playing her

Has anyone else noticed that when you are playing Mercy, you have the default skin on and when you go into Hero Gallery it shows the skin you have equipped?

For example I have the "Winged Victory" skin equipped and when in game, the skin goes default.

    Winged Victory Mercy and Oni Genji skins have been temporarily disabled due to an audio bug when using those skins.

    (For players who lost ult during a match, we're sorry, it happened when we disabled the skins.)

    We're working on a fix, sorry about that.

    That's some really good code to be able to deactivate a skin real time, and already have the routines in place that handle such an event. Setting their ult to 0% and giving them default skin. Must be nice having your own game engine.

    Edit: I'm getting downvoted for complimenting the control Blizzard has over their own game. Man the mob mentality in this community is blind. Not anymore, Yay!

    The run time configuration tech is super cool! We hope to talk a bit about it at a GDC or something similar in the future.

    (Obviously we wish we never had to use it to disable a skin, but things do happen.)

    Cheers!
