[@joseramirezchavez7874]

The echo one was rereleased last Halloween. So that makes her good and evil skin the rarest one.

[@EdgyBirds]

Fun Fact 6:52 this 8-Ball skin was the first (and maybe only, I’m not sure) Epic skin to feature an ultimate sound change - the crashing of billiards balls

[@lindaclickclocken7271]

comics for tracer changes sound of melee

[@SwishyBros]

personally, I think blizzard is terrible at ranking what’s epic and what’s legendary so it’s entirely possible they forgot lol. but i do think 8-ball belongs as an epic skin. christmas mei as a legendary however?? no.

[@frantichornet0077]

Bastion got the one purple skin that does

[@ItsMePablo__]

It also has a unique interaction with the Dramatic Highlight Intro

[@EdgyBirds]

@@SwishyBrosyeah seriously! If it were fully black tho it’d be really cool in my opinion, but maybe pay to win? Idk everyone has a giant red outline anyway but who knows lol

[@PAGRlO]

In fact, the carbon fiber sigma skin has been in the market recently, so i suppose, the maestro skin is rarer now.

[@SwishyBros]

yes, kinda likely. maestro returned once for ow remix and that’s when skins were still free, so it could be likely carbon is still rarer, but who knows.

[@23Shaze23]

Don’t forget that some OWL teams as change their color such as florida mayhem or valiant. You can’t buy the old color team skin anymore but some players in the game still have them.

[@miguela.r.94]

Wow. I didnt know that. I have rein florida mayhem skin :)

[@SwishyBros]

also, isn’t every single ow1 design owl team skin gone? I have some of those, I wouldn’t consider them rare tho.

[@romq]

2018 Shock Baby!

[@dueler8281]

I have the OW1 Seoul Dynasty Genji skin it’s so clean

[@H3ziten]

I have anas 2017 flordia mayhem wkin

[@j4nN04]

The Lifeweaver Cassia Skin is avaiable for 1000 basic coins... id say the Phi Ta Kon Skin (or how its written) is the rarest, cuz S4 was a all time low OW2 time and you cant get it anymore.

[@SwishyBros]

i’m pretty sure I edited this video when lifeweaver was brand new and uploaded it later on. so you’re probably right.

[@John3792.]

Fun Fact the ana baset skin has a unique interaction wt venture when you load in

[@JoelJackson_]

Blizzard is in the middle of a big pool, sitting on a fence that divides the pool. One foot, is on bringing CERTAIN skins back, if they can turn it into a bundle, or reskin it, or if they deem it returnable, without playing into the OTHER side of the pool. The pre mentioned other half of the pool, is keeping most skins that are deemed rare, and would jeopardize their money scheme of "Buy it now, or you'll never see it again!" mindset they, and ow1 players seem to have.

[@seunghyunsass]

It's funny how some of these have been in shop/are in shop right now and are not rare anymore :D

[@haron521]

I got sandstorm on my friend account, he allowed me to play it cuz he stopped playing overwatch long time ago. It was the first time when I played it and it was my first event. Damn I can barely remember these times

[@SwishyBros]

sandstorm isn’t that old but dang do i miss ow1.

[@number0017]

This skin will come back one day because a lot of skin have come back (great example Mei braided hair skin came back to the market). The only ones that won't comeback is BlizzCon skin and probably the Pink Mercy.

[@SwishyBros]

i think the association that received the donations for breast cancer (aka pink mercy sells) said they of course appreciate any donation and would love to collab with overwatch again but I think overwatch themselves said they had no plans to any time soon.

[@DankPit]

Nice montage at the end. I’m surprised how many of these I actually own. I really want the Blizzcon Bastion and 8 ball Wrecking Ball

[@SwishyBros]

it’s funny how a lot of people probably have blizzcon bastion & blizzcon winston but don’t use it because it’s a simple texture change of his original look.

[@GenericUsernameOfAll]

Feels good having the battle medic baptiste skin 💪 (from 2019)

[@Casedilla73]

I hope all the rare skins come back someday, I kinda feel mad at myself for not playing the game earlier and getting them but I couldn’t even get ow until later in its lifetime and it never interested me until I played ow2 when it came out. Hopefully ones like Lego Bastion and Oni Genji come back.

[@SwishyBros]

@@Casedilla73 most of these have and will return. make sure to go to “owned and unowned” in the skins filter thing after almost every big update. they readd a few they plan to release later on. (except lego bastion. lego doesn’t really like blizzard at the moment)

[@ooRobertoo]

The rarest skin of the entire game franchise are those they dont or can't bring back. You can say old OWL skins that now changed team and colour. However new teams could be aple to adapt the colours of old teams. So its not on the list. I think the zarya skin cant make a comeback due to the allegations. Making it the rarest.

[@SwishyBros]

it’s still a neat skin on its own, not saying i’ll think they’ll bring it back with its history, but it’s okay to separate it from its idea/creator. Lego cut all ties with overwatch after the workplace situation (making the first ow2 lego set + the mei mini figure some of the rarest lego collectibles ironically) so it’s entirely possible Lego bastion will never make a comeback as well.

[@I0KK]

What about the paper cutting skin for wrecking ball, it was released in 2020

[@adluzz3216]

Never would have thought that i have several rarest skins

[@shadowninja22suborelse.56]

Yeah same

[@DTB3RG4D987]

Pink mercy didnt age well now did it lmao. Now the title most likely goes to atlantic or mage

[@DEADSKULLZ31]

The noire widow skin was actually available to everyone who bought the legendary version of overwatch for the switch, no pre-order required.

[@SwishyBros]

what 😀

[@AronFigaro]

Huh. I have a surprising number of these, including both the rare Ana skins (Bastet and Cybermedic). Sweet.

[@SwishyBros]

niceeee

[@theadminders]

I have the Ana and Baptiste skin. Didn't know they were rare 😂

[@elnick6918]

same 😂

[@ShizuAV]

The only rare skins I use are the Pink Mercy, Lego Bastion and Inferno Junkrat one. Even tho I own almost all of the shown skins. But Pink Mercy will forever be my peak skin to use, good to be a Mercy main!

[@GamerEbs1143]

Inferno Junkrat Is my favorite but I didn't get it cause I wasn't playing that time of year and I hope to god it makes a comeback

[@SwishyBros]

same. here’s to hoping it returns for halloween this year. last year vampire baptiste returned (which was a skin released alongside inferno junkrat) and elf junkrat re-eleased last year as well for christmas. so i’d say there’s a pretty good chance we’ll get him this year.

[@PikaPiPika]

They need to bring back the Golden Ball skin

[@mOm01]

i wish that i had mercy’s pink. i started in 2018 just a couple months too late to get it. sucks, as a mercy main. did manage to get the rerelease of the atlantic all stars one though. love that one.

[@NoshuHyena]

All skins should come back. Having time limited skins goes counter to the entire point of having skins in the first place. I guarantee they'd make more money from people just wanting skins and buying them than they now do by psychologically pressuring people to buy skins they dont want because of artificial scarcity.

[@SwishyBros]

most of these have come back I think. personally, I hope Inferno Junkrat comes back.

[@NoshuHyena]

​@@SwishyBros I'm really glad they're open to bringing old limited skins back, especially alongside the new Mythic system. Call me someone who "takes a mile," but I'm hoping they just open up all old cosmetics for purchase or unlock, even stuff like old battlepass titles.

[@Be-ph6gg]

Ig Pink mercy aint that rare anymore

[@SwishyBros]

yeah, true that. lol.

[@DDoig1]

I would have thought Ancient Bronze or Ocean King for Winston.

we all have that one skin we regret missing lol. the state overwatch is in now though? i’d say every skin (besides pink mercy, alien zayra, and lego bastion) has a chance of coming back. so definitely keep in touch with each ow2 shop, and do not forget to check the hero gallery and sort “owned and unowned” each update.

It's a fucking joke. All these limited time event skins that I grinded way back in the day, now purchaseable in the show. Skeleton Genji, American Reaper etc. Only skins that I'm positive will never be released again, is the Noire Widow for preordering, and the Blizzcon Bastion Skin + Illidan Genji.

@@CeoXz First they did it with Oni Genji, back in OW1. Play 10 games in HoTS with a friend to get that shit, 6 months later hes free to purchase with coins or get him in lootboxes.
