Symmetra mains everywhere have been pleading with Blizzard to release a new skin for the Indian architect, and Overwatch’s Summer Games Event has delivered just that.

Alongside Mei and Ashe, Symmetra has been gifted a beautiful Legendary skin that transforms her into a lilac and aqua mermaid.
Sporting stunning silver hair and an aquatic-themed tiara that looks like it came straight out of Ariel’s closet, the skin is quite the triumph – and the community is loving it.

As soon as the new skin was announced, Symmetra mains everywhere were jumping for joy. The Indian DPS’ last Legendary cosmetic dropped the 2018 Winter Wonderland event, meaning fans have waited almost three years for another high-tier skin.

Diving right into the summer-themed part, another fan exclaims “FINALLY. After more than two and a half years, Symmetra gets an Event Legendary skin and she looks GLORIOUS.”
Lamenting that they won’t be able to pull out the iconic sad Symmetra meme anymore, another fan notes “RIP the sad Symmetra meme,” but calls the skin “fantastic.”
