Overwatch: 25 Best Skins You Must Unlock

19. Symmetra – Oasis

Symmetra’s default skin is rather interesting in itself, it’s bright turquoise nicely contrasting the character’s skin tone, with her visor giving the enigmatic character a further air of mystique. Oasis – inspired by the map of the same name – makes all of these elements even more high tech and high fashion. Gold highlights appear on the costume, which also transforms her visor into a regal looking headdress with a long seafoam-coloured veil. With her sharp tongue and obsession for perfection you can imagine Symmetra was always destined for the finer things in life, so she looks completely at home in this intricate skin, which wouldn’t look out of a place on a real-life catwalk. It even transforms her teleporter into a beautiful lotus flower.

The hero’s other skins can’t compete with Oasis, with Devi and Goddess being particularly ill-thought-out, being modelled after Hindu-deities. The skins were even condemned by the head of the Universal Society of Hinduism. This isn’t the place to discuss cultural appropriation, but it seems like an oversight for a game usually so celebrated for its diversity to make such a slip-up. Thankfully, Oasis is a gorgeous skin and mercifully devoid of any controversial elements.
