The aesthetic of Azure Flame Hanzo is directly inspired by the power of Overwatch’s esports competitors. Skin designer TB Choi wanted players “to feel like they could sweep their enemies away like a storm, and overwhelm those in front of them with intense force.” Lightning, thunder, storm, and flame motifs were primary influences for the skin, with the dichotomy of sharp lines and the rolling curves of nature’s energy evoking a sense of ever-shifting, primordial power. | |
