Whether it’s the elusive Pink Mercy skin or the BlizzCon exclusives, we’ll explore which skins are the hardest to come by and what makes them so rare.

    the fact so many skins came back with a price tag, on top of those skins coming from old updates, those old updates being anniversary updates, of remixes, of volumes, literally recycling garbage over and over and over it’s so depressing. almost incredible blizzard was able to create such a magical game and tear it down slowly and painfully into what it is today.

    Im still upset about oni genji and officer dva losing their event rarity because console only players were upset about not being able to get it so they moved the skins into the loot box pool. (I was also console only for OW and was able to obtain them through my shitty dell laptop). I bet if they never would've done it you would actually see the skins being used.

    it's kinda old and hard to find people using it so maybe thats why you forgot about it!!
    I really was waiting to hear you talk about it since I'm a VERY PROUD owner of this skin, I've never seen it in any game since it was released.
    fun-fact: it's the only skin where mei doesn't wear glasses other than "Empress" (a legendary skin in the shop) to date.
