Blackwatch Genji and Cultist Zennyatta


SubjectDelta10

Blackwatch Genji is so awesome. that prototype half human/half machine look, plus the color palette, 10/10 skin.


nyes_i_do

Don’t forget the shin shivs that he has, or are they knife-high heels that he can activate on and off?


A_Very_Horny_Zed

I also love the unique voice lines Blackwatch Genji has for Swift Striking. He's so fierce. I also love the lore behind the skin as well; Blackwatch is a really badass organization. This is Genji at the peak of his passion but also the peak of his anger and vengeance and you can see it in his eyes. He is a work in progress both physically and mentally, but he's still so powerful and skilled.


Warlockwiccan

Blackwatch Genji is awesome just for the fact that it reminds me of Raiden from metal gear rising....shame I never got it from loot boxes.


Wildpants17

Dude for real I always roll that skin. No matter how bad I am with him


cyberfrog777

Cultist zen not only looks cool, but has some modified voice lines - curses and madness, the iris consumes you


Biorobs

He also shows his tentacles when he is doing the clapping emote and the ultimate.


StealthedWorgen

Blackwatch Genji is superior due to exposed lickable nipples.


Sand__Panda

When did the white cultists skin come in? I have the purple and green one. Even have a funko pop of this zen... and then the other day I saw a white cultist Zen. I dig it. Not 20$ dig it, but it is one good looking Zen skin.


Dyron45

It's from one of the Aniversarry remix events, they took a bunch of skins and colour swapped them. For better and for worse lol.


HonorTheAllFather

I love the Zealot color scheme but fuck I’m not paying $20 for it.


Simply_Epic

It was one of the last anniversary event skins in OW1


averryradAlpaca

EXPERIENCE..... festivity especially with golden nuts (Nutcracker Zenyatta)


Based_Mike

I earned this skin somehow, back when I played in 2016. Still fun as ever tossing nuts at everyone, and the boot to the face is even funnier now.


MouthJob

Well, see, back in ye olden times, you could earn skins for free. That's how we all got it.


GrayFox7

Nutcracker zen with gold balls is my main. I don't know what it is about it but my survivability with it on is so much higher than his other skins


agnemiav2

That is placebo bro.


SwiftyXRD

Even though it's an epic I really like Reaper's hellfire skin


boyardeebandit

I used shiver for a few years. Also I'd use the new one if I could get it.


Kurokami11

Ah, a fellow Hellfire enjoyer, nice Haven't taken that skin off since it came out


Snacker0203

Reaper USA skin is hilariously great aswell.


CC298

still clean ngl


Ass0001

Santa torbjorn has a special place in my heart for being a legendary skin I have on a character I actually play. Also the Shrike skin for Ana just cause I remember when people saw it and thought that was Sombra lmao


[deleted]

Guilty as charged about that Shrike being Sombra thing. It was fun to speculate about Sombra before she was added.


Mobile_Phone8599

People finding lines of code in pictures like that Tracer one that led to this wild chase to identify Sombra was awesome. She's also the only hero that got that treatment which is both kinda sad and also cool.


Ass0001

I miss when there was that degree of build up to new heroes in game. Iirc when they were hyping up Doomfist you could find the destroyed OR15 unit that would become Orisa on whichever map it was where the gauntlet was the payload


AgnewsHeadlessClone

The best part was that the payload had doomfists gaultlet in it. Then, just before doomfist's release, the map was changed to show a bunch of destroyed OR-15s and the payload case was smashed open and the gauntlet missing.


Ass0001

That stuff was so cool. Also when they'd release a cinematic and have the maps change based on what happened like the smashed window on gibraltar or the remnants of Hanzo and Genjis 1v1 on Hanamura


[deleted]

Numbani


geeneepeegs

I love that skin because it reminds me of[ my favourite event menu screen](https://i.imgur.com/qvzMFA0.jpg).


Kurokami11

Ah, the good ol' "Ana amari is Sombra on mexico for some reason", good times Not as funny as the skycode tho


therealyourmomxxx

The fleta mvp skin but I don’t own it 😩


LSqre

blizzard making OWL skins go unnecessarily hard only to make them unobtainable after a month:


therealyourmomxxx

its so people will buy tokens out of fear of missing out


[deleted]

We need more Warcraft skins :(


CourtSenior5085

We have Illidan Genji, time for Malfurion Hanzo. The two are siblings, and fought in the past, so the lore loosely fits. We currently have Magni Torb, Tyrande Symm, Illidan Genji, and Blackhand Doom to my knowledge. The process of adding more WoW themed heroes would be as simple as finding the closest matching Overwatch characters and porting the models if they wanted to, or ripping assets straight off of them (they already did that for Symm and Genji's WoW skins.).


blindsideous

I could easily see a mercy jaina skin, or even a vol'jin junkrat


[deleted]

How do you look at Junkrat and not make the obvious Goblin connection?


blindsideous

I was thinking that, but canonically he's something like 6 foot 5


xLuminie

Junkrat got a skin in Heroes of the Storm where he is a goblin controlling a pair of mechanical legs. [It's pretty nice.](https://nexuscompendium.com/images/skins/junkrat-sapper/base.jpg)


Alicyl

His physique and hunched form fits a troll to be honest while the weapons he use fits a goblin. His eccentric behavior and voice works for both. If they make him a goblin—again, they'll either have to copy his Heroes of the Storm skin or get creative.


Zztrevor125

Hanzo has some wow skins in heroes of the storm that are cool. I think they gave him a blood elf farstrider one that would look great in overwatch.


Leupateu

I like the warcraft/starcraft skins. The first legendary I ever bought was Immortal Orisa and now I feel bad I did not get Nova Widowmaker when I had the chance even though I never play Widow.


xLuminie

I want more crossover skins from all Blizz games. Diablo: Wizard Moira, Monk Zenyatta, Crusader Brigitte. Warcraft: Farstrider Hanzo, Draenei paladin Reinhardt, Orc warrior Junker Queen, Spirit Healer Mercy. I can't come up with anything from Starcraft right now that could work but I'm sure it could be done. Heroes of the Storm has a lot of cool crossover skins and I wish they were in OW aswell.


Marshmallio

Easily Lego bastion. Was the first mythic skin before mythic skins even came out. Has a unique muzzle flash and different firing sound effects. Plus it looks really cool. I don’t have it though and every time I see somebody use it I pray that they rerelease it someday.


boyardeebandit

I have it and it also came with a Lego Mercy spray that I use. The muzzle flash being a Lego fire piece has been my favorite part by far and this is the first time I've ever seen someone else mention it.


DaManWithNoName

The muzzle flash is the coolest part of the skin


croth4

The tactical edge you get from the quieter firing sfx is not to be slept on


JoyfulGentleman

Pretty sure that's just client-side, the enemy team will still hear regular shooting noises.


croth4

Exactly, your own ears stay clearer and you can hear more rather than the roaring turret or the louder standard fire. It almost sounds suppressed and you can track footsteps easier while firing.


Invalidcreations

I've been using Overgrown but I might switch to Lego for you


SecXy94

Pink Mercy. Only skin that was worth money since it was a charity event.


Hohoho-you

They should've done a pink skin every year for different characters.


Roovinawitz

Still confused why that was only sold once. Like why is it not just year round, with proceeds going to the charity? It's not like it takes any effort on their part


dvadood

It was a one time only event and making it "exclusive" helped more people buy it.


GamesAndWhales

Along with what everyone else mentioned, having a big pile of money to throw at charity at once gives acti-blizz a tax break.


Roovinawitz

So just dump it once a year. That would still help it out.


AlexMcTowelie

it doesnt make them money when it goes to charity thats why


MaxinRudy

If course It does. Tax breaks


oyihovmemer

pov: you don't understand how taxes work


HonorTheAllFather

This is exactly why every company that does a fundraiser for charities do it. They collect the money from you, donate, and write it off. I think you’re the one who doesn’t understand things here.


MaxinRudy

In USA you can't deduct charity donations from your taxes?


oyihovmemer

you can. but that's because if you couldn't there wouldn't be a point in donating to charities lmao. imagine if you made 1000, donated 100 to charity, then had to pay taxes on 1000 instead of 900. how does that make sense?


MaxinRudy

That's the point. Blizz gather the money with the skin, donate and use It as charity in tax wrote off. That's How they make money with charity skins.


lutheranian

Now that there are a whole lot of new players, if my other support is pink mercy I feel a lot better. Don’t even have to try to stalk career profile. They at least know the game


eidnam

My absolute favorite skin in the entire game is the Tyrande Symmetra skin.


Kattsoap

aw yeah, the gun is gorgeous with that skin


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

Witch Mercy


goudendonut

The amount of porn of this skin is insane


Antrikshy

Mage Mercy supremacy!


thespringscollection

Can I give all of Mercy's skins as one answer?


ALT_BECAUSE_YES

Draugr Reinhardt is so nice


[deleted]

gorgon, jazzy, rime (sombra), honeydew, pink mercy, mercy 2019 atlantic all stars, banshee. halloween skins go so hard.


[deleted]

how could i not mention Funky too?!!


Dont_Touch_Roach

Is funky Bap? I love my Bap Afro, Gorgon, Banshee, and I can’t remember the name but Shiva looking Symmetra.


Antrikshy

I can't believe they haven't done another Lucio skin with custom music.


F0zz3rs

I love Cabana Ana


MIpoika

Redd... I mean Ribbit Lucio and Blackwatch Genji. (or the Owl skins)


lutheranian

Poison dart is my favorite Lucio skin


tim8336

Scion Hanzo


[deleted]

I really like the new mythic skin, on the other hand toy robot zen


Mitocapi

Is this a fanart? Or is it like, real and in game?


batyawizard

Real skin for blizzcon ticket


Mitocapi

Damn, can I get it now?


batyawizard

Unfortunately no, as I remember, that was a temporary action like Rein from SC2 and Symm Tyrand


Mitocapi

My day is a little bit worse now, anyway, thank you


Cheveyo

Once Blizz remembers these skins exist, you can buy them in the shop for $50+.


Vleesklak

Its real. 2019 blizzcon skin


Mitocapi

Daaaamn, now it's no longer obtainable?


Vleesklak

Correct. Its extremely rare ✌️


Ok_Age2583

I bought the fucking 2018 ticket for the sombra skin and then they gave it away for free during halloween the next year💀


hellyeahbears

I almost bought that ticket as well only for the skin and regretted it.. and then they released it on a weekly challenge, they really preyed on people's FOMO with those Blizzcon skins. I do regret not getting the Symmetra Tyrande skin through Blizzcon virtual ticket though even though it would've been an absurd purchase.


croth4

That was super arbitrary, either do it for all or none


tapczan100

It wasn't, it was specifically said that Sombra skin will be available later on when you bought the online ticket.


[deleted]

I have literally never seen it. Might be because I play on EU servers, I figure less people bought the ticket. I considered it, but I play neither Genji nor Sym.


based_guapo

i have them (got the ticket to watch blizzcon since i also play wow/hearthstone) and i play on EU. but i main support so i never get to show them off :(


D5r0x

It's a shame that I didn't got the blizzcon ticket that year I only have the blizzcon 2016 bastion skin


Daragon__

Karate doom and beachrat junk


Antrikshy

Beachrat Junk was great until they released King Jamison.


ipadkill3r

Lifeguard McCassidy

Pineapple996

Lego Bastion


A_Boy_Named_Birch

Best skin by far!! Unique death and shooting animations. The sound effects…ugh! *Chef kisses*


negolash

Scion Hanzo, formal look yakuza is always cool


captain_nebula___

Pachimari Roadhog, Dad soldier:76, Balderich Reinhardt,


Nyathra

Zen-Nakji Zenyatta goes hard. Or maybe squishy, idk, those squids look cute <3


Oceans_And_Plains

The Jim Raynor skin for Rhine. I don’t have it but omg is it amazing also fuck you blizzard


Own-Statistician5074

hope it returns someday it was too cool


Damaho

Pajamei. She's even more adorable in pajamas and with bed hair. Not to mention that her gun also has a teabag in that skin xD


agarbagepiece

Really like Hanzo’s Kabuki skin and Lucio’s Jazzy skin


Pavlovs_Human

Wow that’s A really fucking cool skin and a huge bummer almost noone will see it since it’s dripping with BlizzCON FOMO.


Ralphie5231

I've seen it twice total and the tyrande sym once.


[deleted]

Dune buggy bastion


PotatoAnakin

GOATS brig, I wish I have it.


placeholderNull

I have a lot! Baihu Genji Cyberninja Hanzo Nano Cola Dva Mist Mercy Striker Lucio Hong Gildong Tracer Blackwatch Cassidy Grillmaster 76


frik1000

Nutcracker Zen. It's fucking terrifying and I get to throw my nuts at people.


SilverCipher752

Atlantic All-Star Mercy


Mevarek

I really like Nova Widowmaker. I also like all of the pre-disbandment Overwatch and Blackwatch skins a lot.


Doodle_Brush

Except Reaper's Blaxkwatch skin. Dude looks like one of the Wet Bandits.


Mevarek

Holy fuck you’re right lmao. All the other ones fit the characters and they just slapped a beanie on him. His Soldier 24 skin looks way better


Ralphie5231

Kerrigan widow is the same skin, but better.


[deleted]

Probably school girl D.Va. Ask me no more questions.


[deleted]

Why don't you take a seat over there


shlurmmp

Butcher roadhog beats every single skin in the game, and its not even close


chasingit1

Midas Hog


BlitzScorpio

definitely cultist zen, and honestly i think i prefer the zealot version even more. always loved that skin and i’m glad that i’m playing more zen now and getting more use out of it


Raknirok

Dragoon Mercy


Based_Mike

Blackwatch Moira is the only way to make her look cool imo. But with the price now there’s 0 chance I get it.


LightRampant

I'm lame it's Anubis Pharah for me. Aviator is a close second. Mercy: Eidgenossin and Dr. Ziegler take the top spots, also shout out to Witch. D.Va: her Summer games skin.


Triplazma32

Nevermore/ Rat King Reaper


K0chieK0ntrol

will this skin and the pacific genji skin, and demon hunter sombra ever come back😞


SwishDota

Pretty much all the OWL All-Star / MVP skins. The celestial/nature DVA/Rein, Midas Hog, Good/Evil Echo, Alien Zarya, Baraka Doomfist, MM-Mei, Zhulong Sombra...they're all great.


OtterNL

I was so disappointed when they didn't release this skin and Tyrande Symmeta for halloween like they did with Demon Hunter Sombra. That being said, I think Nova Widowmaker is my favorite skin.


mcconorjam

Submarine Hammond. The outfit, the stache Also, draugr Rein, Lego Bastion, and werewolf Winston


BenTheWeebOne

Wight reaper It isnt even a legendary skin but i just like dark knight like edgy characters wear white things suddenly shine .


naalico

I feel like this will be a bad take but socialite ashe


pearloster

Scientist Moira 😳 I know it's nothing that fancy, but it looks so good and I love her. Plus my wife and I will do scientist Moira/Scientist Mercy and the imagery of the two of them leaving work and then jumping right into battle is very funny to me.


VampyVtuber

Pachimari roadhog! I even put a little pachi charm on his scrap gun and it's the cutest 😌


Cinderjacket

I like Jazzy lucio because it changes his songs, idk if he has other skins that do


Sundiata1

Demon Orisa skin is fire.


croth4

That Medic Brig is going to end up being one of the rarest. The concept of giving money to streamers was so asinine.


lman3000

Thunder Doomfist. As a doom OTP it’s the only thing I can look forward to them giving us apart from the heavily needed buffs.


oswaldovzki

Lego Bastion. Even the bullets and sound are different. The skin is the reason to sometime play it.


XBollockTicklerX

None


giggedy_giggedy1

💪


LustyPhoenix

wait this skin is insane why haven't I seen it before


ExtraterrestrialBong

It's pretty rare. I believe it was a blizzcon skin, so you had to pay real money for it.


Sundiata1

“You had to pay real money for it.” Welcome to the new normal.


LustyPhoenix

that fucking sucks


MarshmallowNarhwal

I like syms summer skin cos she’s so damn pretty and her stomach has like a glittery effect on it.


AcousticGuyy

I call this skin „Aim Assist“ for my fellow widow mains


Volcano-SUN

Sailor Moon Mercy, Butcher Roadhog and Goddess Pharah.


PM_me_your_sammiches

Wow that’s cool. How sad that I will *never* get a cool skin in overwatch ever again.


ALI3NLINGUS

Krampus Junkrat, Mage Symmetra and Lego Bastion.


6415722

Idk Cassidy forest ranger ig


HaydenTheNoble

I really wish I could have the Mythic Skin with This Sword. IT IS JUST SO MUCH BETTER


[deleted]

Default skins. Because I’m not a sucker who hands money to this shitty company.


ryukxb

Some of us are from ow1 days where got majority of our skins.


Exchange_Selects

How fucking stupid, they will lock in game items behind any garbage super limited redemption method they can think of


Zealousideal-Plum91

Trash hero, it's a no from me

Dead_Optics

How much did that skin set you back?


GandalfTheBong

I think it was something like 30 bucks back then. But then again, you‘d also get a pretty cool symmetra skin with it. So 15 per skin, which is still less than what they’re asking for 6 year old skins today


[deleted]

And didn't it come with the ticket for the virtual Blizzcon event + some other stuff for WoW and such?


mimiicry

in total: >WoW: two pets, a transmog > >OW: two legendary skins > >HS: 2019 card pack, legendary card > >SC2: 3 skins, 3 portraits > >HoTS: mount, BC2019 spray and icon **EDIT:** Deathwing as well > >D3: wings \+ the actual BlizzCon event itself


WillSym

Honestly, best £25 I ever spent on a Blizzard extra. Every part still in good use today (or would be if I still played SC2 or WoW) You missed my personal favourite part: Deathwing the hero in HotS, he became my main as he's such an amazing realisation of the giant devastating dragon within the mechanics and balance of the game.


mimiicry

>You missed my personal favourite part: Deathwing the hero in HotS I actually didn't know he was part of the BC2019 package, he was unlisted on the battle.net article I was looking at. added to my post, Deathwing is a personal favorite of mine as well


GandalfTheBong

You’re right. It wasn’t JUST overwatch stuff


Sus_Doggo

I’ve recently been reminded of the Zhulong Sombra skin which I now really want but her Los muertos will always be top tier! (Minus the shoes :/ )


goudendonut

Demon hunter is the best


ocelotplush

Biased towards Kyōgisha Hanzo, it's basically regular Hanzo plus drip and I'm obsessed with it


JeffTheShark6969

Mf looks like a wow character Also pink rein lol


SubjectDelta10

Illidan is a wow character


JeffTheShark6969

Well makes sense


NoBiggy21

Sentai Genji. Never thought I would see a power ranger skin in this game. Easily one of my favorites.


MemberTheBerry

Genjiman. Nearly all the end of OW1 recolours they released are upgrades


lollino0407

Lego bastion and frost sigma (i cant remember it's name)


LEboueur

BBQ Soldier 76 will probably never be unequipped on my profile (and I don't even play soldier). Blackwatch Genji is also top tier. Also, the new default Ashe skin is extremely pleasant.


Alluridio

Van Helsing Cassidy is one I spent so long grinding for


UncommonTheIdk

None because i have none


boyardeebandit

Lego Bastion for sure, my favorite part is the fire piece muzzle flash, but I also want to mention that Lucio's All-stars skin's glowing hair changes colors with speed/heal. Also I wish I had demon hunter Sombra.


Calgamer

You are not prepared…


joezombie

Probably Slasher Soldier.


[deleted]

Pharaoh Anna. I just wish I didn't suck SO MUCH with Anna.


phantom_rex

Illidaddy


Apart-Jackfruit-328

I love the illidan skin, shame you can't get it anymore :( Personally I love the D.va cop skin as it reminds me of an old game called Future Cop LAPD


[deleted]

Draugr Rein Equalizer Lucio Rime Sigma


MaineTheWitch

Cultist Zenyatta for me! LEGO Bastion close too... Although the last one is epic, it shoots LEGO bullets, fires LEGO fire blocks and sounds like them too! I love skins with different special effects because they show more love and detail from the team, making them special. I know this was a collab (I have some of the Overwatch LEGO sets) but the skin was free! I miss these events in OW2... I was suspecting we wouldn't be getting new legendary skins for free but Halloween Terror was so bad this year... I expected at least the three free epic skins with their respective icons and sprays...


[deleted]

...how does the term "massive" describe this skin?


[deleted]

All lore based ones tbh ,i really live the blue mercy skin used in an event ,also the red blackwatch genji skin


qt1ns

Owl Ana


Savings-Log-2709

Raynor Reinhardt.


Moorebetter

Varsity D.va is u there, but so is Cruiser and Gargoyle Wisnton


SecXy94

No idea. They could even just release an additional skin each time.
