Names Need to Change For Legendary Skins

As we all know, Legendary Skins cost over $10 and aren't that cheap for just a skin. And Lisa Garland is not Cheryl Mason. So why didn't the Devs make it where your name changes with your Legendary Skin?

I think more people would agree that they would purchase a legendary skin if the name changed as well. People wouldn't get it confused because we know it's still based off the original character. They could even do something like Lisa Garland (Cheryl Mason) so people know who the original character is.

I don't think a lot of people think a $10 skin would be worth it if it didn't even show who the skin really is. I strongly think people would enjoy it if skins changed the name. It's frustrating to see Cheryl Mason when you're playing as Lisa Garland and I think others are frustrated too.

(Vote up if you agree!)

    Let’s not stop there. Legendary skins should get:

    • Their name showing
    • Unique voice
    • New Portrait
    • Lore/biography page

    This shouldn’t be hard to implement and would make the skin worthy of the $15 price tag.

    I agree with this. For how pricy legendaries are, I feel like they should offer more.

    At that point, it's just a whole new Survivor. I would be satisfied with just something that's a little more worth $15 that makes it unique, like a name change.

    I agree. This is something that I had really hoped they would do when they announced legendary skins. They should be like premier skins in Injustice 2, where the character literally changes to the character of the premier skin. The name changes, they get a different voice, and they get new dialogue interactions and voice lines, all to suit the new character (obviously DBD doesn't have dialogue). If the skin is Lisa Garland, you should be playing AS Lisa Garland, and not Cheryl Mason.
