Overwatch Halloween 2017: Ranking Every Legendary Skin

11. Jiangshi Mei

This is an interesting one. The concept itself is fascinating and Blizzard did a good job using Mei's own culture to create a skin for her that's outside the norm, as a 'Jiangshi' is a Chinese hopping zombie (which explains her hopping emote).

The problem here is that Mei's Jiangshi skin doesn't do an awful lot to truly stand out. Some of these Halloween skins are wild, with a lot going on - Mei's on the other hand is muted and honestly a bit plain in comparison, aside from her cool hat. Some of Mei's previous skins, such as Beekeeper and her Christmas skin, have been similarly low-key.

But the larger issue here is whether Mei really needed another legendary skin yet. Mei has received a new legendary skin in almost every single event, outside of Uprising and the Summer Games. There were more deserving characters, like Doomfist for example, who could've done with an event skin. Alas.
