Overwatch: Ranking All Events So Far

3. Anniversary

Mei Overwatch
Blizzard Entertainment

The Anniversary is a very fan-centric event that, for all intents and purposes, isn't particularly special on its own merits alone. However, it rises in the ranks of fan enjoyment in how it allows the community as a whole to enjoy everything they love about the game.

For one thing, this is the one event in the year you can play ALL holiday events, bringing both your favourite and least favourite game modes together without needing to wait the whole year for the opportunity to come around again.

The same goes for various holiday skins, which you get the opportunity to win during this event. For another thing, the Anniversary-specific skinsare some of the most epic and well-designed, the artists going all out to live up to the anniversary's hype.

There's something special about the Anniversary event in the way it celebrates Overwatch both as a game and as a community that's grown so much from its first release. The multi-event structure helps it jump the ranks as a sort of catch-all event of the season, outdone only by the two events that are so universally loved that they deserve top billing.
