Mirage Cowboy Skin looks too much like Seer

I haven't seemed to see this anywhere else but maybe I'm just bad at googling.  If this has been brought up a million times, sorry.

Anyway, the Mirage skin with a cowboy hat looks so much like Seer when you're in the middle of a gun fight that it's super annoying for getting a read based on profile where as a pretty experienced player you know a Mirage skin out in the open is probably a Mirage, so you might not want to shoot it.  In a quick scan, you assume it's a Seer, waste shots and reaction time on it and then you're screwed.  

I know some of the responses to this will that Mirage is all about subterfuge and blah blah blah, but man, there's not a chance on this earth that Respawn intended for a bamboozle to work because the character was dressed incognito as another legend altogether.

I'd say a fix to it would be to make it so Mirage's cowboy hat is around his neck, resting on his shoulders on a string?  Then it wouldn't ruin his general profile.

  • @xwilliammeexAre you talking about the Mirage Edition, or the actual Cowboy Hat skin tbh Mirage has quite a few skins with hats and you can’t just not give any other legend in the game a hat just because they look similar to Seer

    In reality Mirage doesn’t look like Seer, Seer looks like Mirage because Mirage had these skins before Seer was even introduced... I can see the similarities to Seer with the Mirage Edition Skin and personally I wouldn’t mind if they changed it some because I’m not fully a fan of the Head Area of the skin and mainly just like the Volt Skin but the Halloween Cowboy Skin doesn’t really look like Seer imo

    I’m not sure which skin it is, just some skin where he has a wide brimmed hat.  And yeah, I guess it’s semantically correct that it came before Seer, so sure Seer looks like him.

    so anyway, just saying that the skins shouldn’t bear such a similarity to each other that suddenly it appears in the heat of a fire fight that Seer is out there bamboozling.

  • Totaly agree. 
    You look at it briefly and you think its seer so you dont hesitate to shoot, but its just a mirrage. Thats silly.
