Overwatch: Ranking Every Seasonal Event From Worst To Best

1. Halloween Terror

Overwatch's Halloween event was one that truly had it all.

Just about every single skin in the epic tier was excellent and all of the legendary tier skins were utterly fantastic. Witch Mercy, pumpkin Reaper, and immortal Soldier: 76 are but a few examples of the awesome cosmetics Halloween Terror had to offer.

What's more is that those great legendary skins tied directly into what was by far the best seasonal game mode to date, Junkenstein's Revenge. Blizzard really went all out with this one, from the classic horror film aesthetic and the survival horror-esque mechanics, to the hordes of enemies it's insanely fun to mow down, as well as some all-new (non-canonical) lore to go along with everything.

This game mode forced players to think on their feet, adapt to the limited roster and lack of resources, and quickly learn to work as a coherent unit as they scramble to protect the gate they're guarding as things progressively get more difficult. It's essentially Overwatch crossed with a survival horde mode, as well even a bit of a role-playing aspect, complete with narration.

All of this worked together to not only make the Halloween event feel not only truly special, but also bigger than itself.
