EntitledBug Hero, and ofLegendaryrarity, thisinsect themedoutfit have some fans confused as to the choice in design, due to his notoriously serious personality being paired with a light-hearted bug motif.
Although contrasting his identity, thisPremiumTier 1skin makes room for a distinctively unique shift in his pulse rifle design, pleasing the likes of players withSoldier: 76gold weapons. While it may not live up to his previous counterpart skins, Blizzard’sBug Herocertainly opens up their highly anticipatedBattle Passwith a bang.
8Cobra Queen - Symmetra (Epic)
As previously mentioned, some items within the new battle pass areFreeto all players looking to earn some freshly released cosmetics, while others are unlockable through the purchase of thePremiumversion.

7Poseidon - Ramattra (Legendary)
Bursting onto the scene withinSeason 2, is the unambiguously brutal tank hero,Ramattra. Boasting an unstoppable skill set, alongside a detrimentalultimate ability,Ramattra’s dominant stance, with regard to the establishedOverwatch 2roster, is that of a much sought out one, inevitably altering the way in which team-fights will unfold from now on.

Contrasting his cohort heroes, it is inevitable thatRamattradoesn’t have an abundance of skins, therefore demonstrating his newly foundedPoseidonoutfit as a profoundly inimitable one. Holding theTier 20position on thePremiumbattle pass, and ofLegendaryrarity, thisGreek Mythologydesign further adds to his ruthless nature, as not only does he rule the battleground, but for those who don this skin, the ocean too.
6Botanist - Ana (Legendary)
Synonymous among support heroes,Ana’s abilities oftentimes determine the outcome of various matches within theOverwatchfranchise. With the capability to sleep enemies that are initiating their ultimate, alongside the heal-restricting use of herBiotic Grenade, it is a no-brainer Blizzard have decisively implemented an additional skin design for the widelyiconic grandmother.
In relation to her already available wardrobe selection, thisTier 30cosmetic sits among the most unique, relishing in both a floral and garden-keeping concept. EntitledBotanist, and ofLegendaryrarity within thePremiumbattle pass, this skin flawlessly depictsAna’s caring nature, determined to be a number one pick for materialistically-driven fans.
5Dance Machine - Echo (Epic)
Despite Blizzard’s lucrative launch regardingEcho’s release, there has been a rather bumpy ride in terms of players selecting her, at times spiking, yet also plummeting. The versatile nature that resides inEcho’s skill setposes for a dangerous team composition, as her mimicking ultimate ability has the potential to discombobulate enemies entirely.
Being the most technologically advanced hero in the franchise,Echo’s quirky nature is often reflected through her skins, emotes, and dialogue, giving reason to herDance Machineskin design. Available atTier 40, and ofEpicrarity within thePremiumbattle pass, this groovy, rainbow-coloured cosmetic seesEchobrandish her lovable personality, retreating back to Blizzard’s initial representation of this DPS (damage per second) hero.
4Street Urchin - Tracer (Legendary)
Arguably the face of theOverwatchfranchise,Tracer’s fast-paced gameplay defines this title’sFPS (first-person shooter)outlook, chaotically, yet precisely eliminating and distracting enemies from all angles. Wielding twoPulse Pistols, alongside the ability to teleport and travel back in time,Tracer’s rapid behaviorisms leak through into her witty personality, oftentimes entwined within herBritishdialogue and nature.

EntitledStreet Urchin, and ofLegendaryrarity within thePremiumbattle pass, thisTier 50skin’s inspiration was clearly taken fromTracer’sBritishbackground, evidently depicting aVictorianpick-pocket. Despite successfully matching with her personality, Blizzard’s prudent choice to implement this skin is seen by some fans as a rather lousy effort, donning a rather dull color scheme, and minor differentiation to herPulse Pistols' design.
3Hades - Pharah (Legendary)
Poised as an original member of theOverwatchDPS roster,Pharah’s efficiency has surpassed the likes of other selections within the hero pool. Whether chosen for her displacement abilities, through the use of herConcussive Blast, or her sheer capability to attack enemy compositions from above,Pharah’s popularity has maintained steady throughout the entire franchise.
Preserving theGreek Mythologytheme would be that ofPharah’sHadesskin design, unlockable atTier 60within thePremiumbattle pass. Though her history resides withinEgyptianculture, thisLegendarycosmetic suits her effortlessly, brandishing the infamous threeCerberusheads on her jetpack armor. Blizzard’s meticulously intricate design revolving around this skin has not only astonished devoted fans, but has also reflected their creative expenditure with regard to cosmetic design.

DubbedPrimordial, and ofEpicrarity within theFreebattle pass, fans argue this skin design has taken direct inspiration from his heritage, being that of his connection to theShambali. Although a rather outstanding reflection of thetranquilShambali,Ramattra’s bulky, war-driven hero design can be seen as a contrast to thisTier 70skin’s overall nature.
1Zeus - Junker Queen (Mythic)
Albeit a relatively new concept, Blizzard have selectedJunker Queento temporarily conclude theMythicskin serieswithin the franchise. With her intrusively destructive skill set, players often selectJunker Queento create sheer fear in the enemy’s composition. Related to bothRamattra’sPoseidonandPharah’sHadeswith regard toGreek Mythology, and entitledZeus,Junker Queenfans are now able to don powers beyond their imagination, directly from lightning itself.
Brandished as the climax to thePremiumbattle pass, being that ofTier 80, Blizzard’s beloved queen will be utilized as the final reward, granted to those who seek the challenge of completingSeason 2’s arduous cosmetic journey.
