these skins arent available for me in the gods selection screen (at least not when they are locked)

i didnt but in the past they were visible at the gods selection screen (locked or not). idk why that changed

I think you now have to meet the requirements to even see them in gods select.

I can see Golden and Legendary Ganesha for isntance (Rank 7), but not Diamond.

now this makes sense. I recall seeing just one greyed out skin yesterday in assault on some random god after someone added skin booster and I went to check for more options. I noticed something is slightly unusual for some reason not clear to me at that point, checked whether that's some limited one, but just ended up with "whatever, seems legit because I don't have that golden skin purchased". Didn't realise the real difference was others missing.

Just had another game with Rat, and rerolled to Vulcan (Assault), same thing. Missing mastery skins that I don't qualify for yet.

kinda stupid if its intended. so we dont get to see rewards that we potentially want to work up to? after stats being removed from display, these skins literally have no value now!

It's fine removing them in the god select. It stops the skin screen from being crowded I guess. You should still be able to see them in the actual god menu (from the main menu).

most of them never had. There are few really beautiful mastery skins, like the diamond on Cernunnos, Terra, Neith, few more and basically all mastery skins look great on Cerberus due to those accents on back and teeth. For 4/5 of the gods mastery skins are simply a waste and it has been that way forever. Or it actually was even slightly worse back before they decided to rework them one by one. Not all are reworked yet.

that is literally entirely subjective and doesnt address the point that people dont get to see what they can work for.

Except you can. In the main menu's god section.
It just removes clutter from the lobby god/skin selection. Makes it a little less confusing.

Besides, you don't need to see them in the God select window for everyone. You'll know they are available to all gods by the time it matters anyway. It's even a filter in the skin store.

what clutter? its so simple to navigate, they're greyed if you dont own them, and with the actual functioning system they had before of owned skins to the left and not owned to the right, its clear as day. it was always out of the way, i dont see how thats cluttered.

unless a skin just came out, i usually browse the skins during the lobby when i select, and since this is my opinion im not going to press too hard on it but, why try and fix what wasnt broken in the first place? its actually more confusing now than ever. i'd forget that certain skins existed because of this feature.

why did they change this? its such a specific change that nobody asked for, instead of updating other UI that apparently everyone else wants? i guess i should expect nothing less from hirez making useless changes to everything but what people ask for

Clutter because it's unnecessary items (unobtainable mastery skins) in the skin select window. I didn't see much need to remove it, but I don't see why you would need them there to see that's something to work towards. You are going to see them when you have the correct mastery level, so it's not a big deal.
Some people may have found it frustrating that they could see skins they couldn't unlock yet, because theyw eren't high enough level?

I'm pretty sure it's only the mastery skins anyway, not general skins. I've not noticed any missing at least (beyond mastery skins), so correct me if I'm wrong there.

people would have the same frustration with limited skins except, you cant get limited skins at all, vs these where you can eventually!

i guess it isnt a big deal right now, since not many people did use masteries, but god if it isnt starting to paint a picture of how hirez is starting to shape their game. stats are gone, now the skins, eventually the number isnt going to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ be there.

the only preview is in gods menu. Tiny avatars with pop up cards (unstable pop up btw) aren't really something you can trust or call preview. Try horsehead morrigan for example :) You couldn't preview 3D models in lobby afaik.
I'm not really sure how removing not available skins makes you suffer. Now you only see those you can actually buy from the lobby. But whatever. Have fun... not having fun I guess?
