I guess Blizzard is saving the summer swimsuit costumes inside of their "break in case of lower playerbase" box.

 

[Squishy3]

Don't like Lucioball at all.

I'll be excited once I see the skins, I'm sure there will be good ones, but like I said, I wish the theme was general summer time, with goofy beach outfits and supersoaker guns instead of continuing the Olympics inspired sports games theme in a non-Olympic year.

Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets a diving swimsuit or the kind you see used in beach volleyball eventually.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

How about Volleyhog, where there's two teams of Lucios knocking a ball, which is roadhog, over a net? That could be a fun game for summer games!!


Or how about Lucio Relay race? Test your wall run skills through a special map with all kinds of walls, jumps and pits to cross. That could be fun too.

 

[Blues1990]

I really liked how the Nihon Genji skin and the Eidgenossin Mercy skin looked similar in a way. They really complimented each other! Almost like compatibility!

Spoiler

Please don't tell mollipen I said that.

I think that's how I became a Gency shipper. Then all the more just made it better!

If it helps, I'm one of those weirdo's that thinks Mei and McCree are adorable together.

But I agree. All of the Epic Skins (that are based of that respective characters home flag) were some of the best skins to date. I personally love D.Va's in particular. Dat blue MEKA.

Based on the profile pictures, give me that Speedo Roadhog

 

[Delio]

It's a shame that summer events continue to be Olympics themed rather than just general summertime themed, but I guess they're saving swimsuits as a trump card if the profits ever go on a downward trend.

Looking forward to seeing how the new less dupes from boxes update plays out during events.

All i want are Swimsuits, Casual wear and Formal wear outfits. Dunno when if ever we will have them.

 

[Sane_Man]

They should just make a wall-riding minigame race for Lucio. 6 people racing across a map specifically designed for it. Way better than poor man's Rocket League.

 

[El Sabroso]

please tell me tracer skin is back

 

[TheContact]

Man, I hope these reruns won't prevent new events from happening.

Sure it's a "rerun" but they also do new skins, lucio ball map is different, etc..

 

[Neoxon]

Hopefully we'll finally get a new Sombra skin.

 

[Maximo]

All i want are Swimsuits, Casual wear and Formal wear outfits. Dunno when if ever we will have them.

Yes YEEEES.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

I'm more curious to see if they will actually give Tracer one or two more new skins for this event and not give skins to those who've never had a summer one. I think she's had enough at this point but I wonder what the developers think.

 

[Zomba13]

Lucioball was the best event mode they've done.

 

[RecRoulette]

Man, I hope these reruns won't prevent new events from happening.

Things may have changed since then, but I remember a few months ago they said they were going to focus more on retooling events than adding new ones this year

 

[Spring-Loaded]

All i want are Swimsuits, Casual wear and Formal wear outfits. Dunno when if ever we will have them.

All I want are edgy evil/corny good skins for good/evil characters.

 

[dot]

lucioball was terrible and it looks like its coming back...

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

All I want are edgy evil/corny good skins for good/evil characters.

Do Blackwatch McCree and Blackwatch Reaper count?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Things may have changed since then, but I remember a few months ago they said they were going to focus more on retooling events than adding new ones this year

That still stands true. No new events this year. Instead we're getting updated versions of previous events.

So yes people you will get a chance to get Witch Mercy again.

 

[DR2K]

???

Zarya's only good skin came from Summer Games.

American Mcree

The white Genji is pretty cool too

The re colors were dope. The legendarirs are pretty terrible.

 

[AlexFlame116]

The re colors were dope. The legendarirs are pretty terrible.

Oh that's what you meant! Okay I can definitely agree on the recolors. Legendaries are aight.

 

[Tabby]

Lucioball was the best event mode they've done.

For real. I played nothing but Lucioball last year.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Oh that's what you meant! Okay I can definitely agree on the recolors. Legendaries are aight.

Summer Games Zarya is still the best Zarya Legendary to date.

 

[Blues1990]

Oh that's what you meant! Okay I can definitely agree on the recolors. Legendaries are aight.

I didn't care too much about Tracer's Track n' Field skins, but Lucio's Football and Zarya's Weightlifter skins are pretty awesome.

 

[HiiiLife]

Lucioball was wack. Bring back more junkenstein and uprising.

 

[Ridley327]

AmeriCree sightings to increase 1000%.

I wonder who else will be graced with national Epics.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Summer Games Zarya is still the best Zarya Legendary to date.

I didn't care too much about Tracer's Track n' Field skins, but Lucio's Football and Zarya's Weightlifter skins are pretty awesome.

Of course there are exceptions. I love Zarya's Legendary skins from the Summer Games. Only reason I use that Cyber looking Anniversary one is cause it's new.

I'm missing one Lucio skin...

 

[Oberon]

If it helps, I'm one of those weirdo's that thinks Mei and McCree are adorable together.

Everybody knows the true ship is Junkrat x Mei.
On topic, is missed out on Lucioball so I'll look forward to playing it.

 

[Nottle]

Lucioball was wack. Bring back more junkenstein and uprising.

Even Mei's snow ball fight was rad. Lucio ball was the only stinker. Just not as polished as it should be.

 

[TheOMan]

When is this rumoured to start?

 

[Blues1990]

Of course there are exceptions. I love Zarya's Legendary skins from the Summer Games. Only reason I use that Cyber looking Anniversary one is cause it's new.

I'm missing one Lucio skin...

I still rock her red/gold Weightlifter skin, as her other Legendary cosmetics haven't scratched that itch.

Now, if she get's a skin that is based off of Aliens Jenette Vasquez, now you'd get my attention.

Everybody knows the true ship is Junkrat x Mei.
On topic, is missed out on Lucioball so I'll look forward to playing it.

Again, one of those weirdos that also thinks pop and pez makes a nutritious breakfast.

 

[BY2K]

Phantom of the Opera skin for Reaper or bust.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Phantom of the Opera skin for Reaper or bust.

If that came it would probably be saved for halloween

 

[ArgyleReptile]

All i want are Swimsuits, Casual wear and Formal wear outfits. Dunno when if ever we will have them.

This would really get me back in the game.

 

[Maintenance]

Nobody else is excited for this? I know it wasn't huge, but I loved Luciobal! It was fun as fuck.

Best seasonal.

 

[Yukinari]

If they dont make the sprays from last summer into real skins they can eat shit honestly.

Why would you make BMX Reaper, Golfer 76, Tennis Mei and Swim Trunks Hog but not actually turn those into skins.

Like at least give me Golfer 76 to go with his victory pose.

 

[Blues1990]

This would really get me back in the game.

People are already too distracted with Widowmaker's butt. Do you want people to focus on the other characters butts in revealing bathing suits?

 

[AlexFlame116]

Confirmed for August 8th! Looks like a new Lucio skin as well!
Vid

Junkrat and Mercy getting a new skin. Widowmaker and McCree fans are going to be super happy!

Prices of the old skins will be the same price as the normal skins.

 

[Vital Tundra]

That fucking Roadhog burn.

 

[Solidsnakejej]

Last year skins available during event. Will be allowed to be unlocked with credits.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Last year skins available during event. Will be allowed to be unlocked with credits.

At normal skin price to boot.

 

[Dead Prince]

i hope they just didn't make a new stage but improved on it.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Mercy is getting Jeff Kaplan's favorite skin ever.

Why is Mercy getting more skins?!

 

[Yukinari]

At normal skin price to boot.

Legit shocked.

I thought because it was older that they would UP the price so that the players who got them already feel special.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Mercy and Widowmaker are getting skins. YES

 

[Vital Tundra]

Legit shocked.

I thought because it was older that they would UP the price so that the players who got them already feel special.

They really kinda changed the loot system as a whole for the better. A lot of people were super cynical about the "changes" Jeff promised but it turned out great.

 

[Solidsnakejej]

Competitive Lucio Ball with its own top 500 and top 500 sprays

 

[AlexFlame116]

We're getting some funny stuff too apparently.

Legit shocked.

I thought because it was older that they would UP the price so that the players who got them already feel special.

Now why would they do that?

 

[Vital Tundra]

Im hoping the "funny" skins are summer beach skins. I like the sports theme but its a missed opportunity not to have stuff like Road with a bunch of flotation devices on him and what not.

 

[Sianos]

But I agree. All of the Epic Skins (that are based of that respective characters home flag) were some of the best skins to date. I personally love D.Va's in particular. Dat blue MEKA.

hey cool that dva skin i wanted but didn't get because of loot box rng is going to be available again

time to launch overwatch againnnnn

 

[jediyoshi]

Now why would they do that?

Same reason current event skins cost more than normal at the same quality. They don't exactly shy away from the concept of making things harder to acquire to reinforce their rarity.
