Overwatch: 15 Best Skins So Far - Ranked

Worth all the hours of gameplay you put into winning them.

Despite having a lot of intriguing lore, Overwatch doesn't have too many opportunities in its 6v6 player vs. player setup to explore the richness of the world. The game itself isn't even considered canon, and what is considered Overwatch's actual plot can be found only in their dedicated lore events (Archives), their cinematics, comics, and short stories.

That doesn't mean that playing the game doesn't have its own rewards, however.

One of the biggest prizes players strive for is Overwatch's extensive repertoire of gorgeously designed skins for their many heroes. And with almost 5 years and a plethora of new heroes to choose from, Overwatch has definitely upped their game when it comes to their cosmetics, even creating mini challenges to get the opportunity to win them - because whether you're a casual player or a competitive one, it's more fun to play for the prize of a good skin.

Note: This list will not include exclusive skins that couldn't be won in regular loot boxes or events, such as Blizzcon skins, League skins, as well as the Pink Mercy charity skin.

However, skins that were made available later (such as D.Va's police skin) are still an option.

15. Cruiser - Rockabilly D.Va

It's difficult to rank D.Va's skins for two reasons: one is that her skin doesn't just extend to her, as it also involves the design of her MEKA, and the other is because she has a lot of good skins. But looking at all the designs we've been given thus far, the best, most appealing and most unique of all of them has to be her Cruiser skin, from the very first Overwatch Anniversary event.

For both D.Va and her MEKA, the cruiser skin makes them look unique and appealing without making them unrecognisable. Her bunny mech gets transformed into what looks like a classic 50s/60s corvette, with its round edges and chrome lined wings, and she gets dressed in some stylish rockabilly fashion that's extremely unique in comparison to other skins.

Another big - or shall we say, small - part of the skin that makes it more appealing is the way it puts a little bit of furry dice on the gun. This is the kind of infinitesimal detail that really makes this skin special, even when you've got other amazing designs like her Waveracer and Academy skins that come in at a very close second.
