Overwatch Halloween Terror 2018: Ranking Every Skin

3. Mei - Pumpkin

Mei Overwatch
Blizzard

It isn’t scary, but it fits her cutesy character perfectly. Halloween costumes don’t need to be terrifying, after all. Considering it’s only an epic, it’s way better than a lot of the legendaries on offer.

As it’s an epic, it is just adding colours to her usual fur hooded coat. It’s not as good as her Christmas skin Mei-rry, but just like that one it’s quintessentially Mei. If you don’t like her as a character you aren’t going to like this skin, but then you’ll have no real cause to buy it or wear it.

What it lacks in wow factor it more than makes up for in charm. Being such a cheerful soul, it really wouldn’t have made sense if Mei’s skin had been dripping with buckets of blood and gore. While it’s true that Sombra’s bride is the most costume-like, that’s only because Mei’s is a paint job on her usual coat. The general idea of dressing like a pumpkin is totally Mei.

If anyone still needed convincing, the adorable pumpkin key chain dangling from her hairpin surely sells this.
