7 Worst Overwatch Skins of All Time
By Nathan Fusco
Overwatch is known for creating unique and interesting skins, but sometimes they fall flat on their face. This list will focus on epic or legendary skins that fell short. If the skin was cheaper, it's not a surprise it wasn't the best.
Here are seven of the worst Overwatch skins of all time.
7 Worst Overwatch Skins of All Time
7. Mach T Tracer
Tracer dons a flight helmet, and gets ready to break the sound barrier in this skin, but no player should break the bank for it. Often overshadowed by the original designed Tracer and all of her event skins, this is just one that can collect dust at the bottom of a player's skin collection
6. Industrial Zarya
For a very long time, Zarya had the weakest skins in the game. Her non-event legendaries are lackluster to say the least, and this is one of them. Not the best design, Industrial is simply not as good as Zarya's other skins, giving players very few reasons to use it.
5. Megasoma Orisa
Orisa does not have many skins in the game at all, but any of hers are better than the bug-like Megasoma. It does not have cool colors like the mirror Dynastinae, and looks unappealing. Any tank main is better off leaving this alone.
4. Andes Lúcio
Blizzard's art team is too good for that. What they often are, and what Andes Lúcio is, is disappointing. Andes Lúcio just has the character throw on a boring turquoise outfit and hat and call it a day. Not quite the festive look fans might hope for from a character as ebullient as Lúcio
3. Null Sector Orisa
While Null Sector Orisa brings a satisfying lore twist after its appearance in the "Honor and Glory" animated short, the skin itself is only OK. What makes it truly lame, however, is its pricing. Where Null Sector Bastion is only Epic, costing 250 credits, Null Sector Orisa is a full price, 1,000-credit Legendary despite the two skins having about an equal level of detail. That's the lore tax, I guess
2. Frosted Zarya
Frosted Zarya is nigh unto a slap in the face for Zarya fans. Her skins have historically been among Overwatch's worst, so when Blizzard handed out this absolutely somnolent effort it hurt twice as badly. The skin is almost exactly the same as Dawn, an Epic skin Zarya shipped with. The only major difference is a light dusting of snow on Zarya's head because, you know, winter, or something.
1. Lightning Tracer
This skins isn't so bad when viewed from the chin down. The colors are only mildly off-putting, and the text on Tracer's leg could almost be cool in the right light. The problem is her absolute mess of a mohawk. Tracer just wasn't meant to be blonde, and this skin proves it without a doubt.
