Overwatch: Tracer’s controversial victory pose replaced with something true to the character

Last week, Blizzard removed a victory pose for Overwatch‘s Tracer after a concerned father said it over-sexualised the character. Today, that pose has been replaced with more that keeps with the spirit of the hero.

In case you’re not in the loop, here’s the victory pose that caused outrage:

As Reddit points out, this new pose appears to be a tribute to a similar looking pose first painted by artist Alberto Vargas.

What do you think of the new pose, butt and all?
