5 Overwatch Heroes Who Deserve a Summer Games Skin

It's officially summer and that means that the Overwatch Summer games event is on the horizon. As with every Overwatch event, there will be exciting new skins that usually highlight a sport, origin country's flag, or have a beach theme. But every event has more than just skins to get excited about.

@PlayOverwatch a Thought:

Overwatch Summer Games skin for Reinhardt.

Literally just him in a like 1950s one piece bathing suit. GIANT water wings on his arms. Shoes are like water shoes.

His hammer is a giant inflatable that squeaks when he hits things.

Please do it ?

5 Overwatch Heroes Who Deserve a Summer Games Skin

Here is a list of five heroes that deserve a new Summer Games skin this year. None of them have ever received a summer games skin in the past.

5. Pharah

Pharah has zero casual or lighthearted skins and Summer Games is all about fun skins. She could get a basketball themed skin to match her highlight intro or a water jet pack skin to match countless other heroes with water guns.

4. Orisa

Orisa should get a fun skin because her serious skins don't match her light-hearted personality. Orisa was created by a child, so an ice cream skin like in one of her sprays or even a minotaur or centaur skin like Mercy's Winged Victory would be cool.

3. Baptiste

Baptiste could be the newest of the water gun skins. Baptiste is laid back and fun and could easily switch to shooting water balloons instead of healing grenades.

2. Echo

Echo is unique because she is the only flying omnic, and she still has no event skins. Her very first could be a manta ray skin because she is glides and many other heroes have beach skins.

1. Bastion

With the Blizzard team changing Bastion regularly because he gets very little play time, maybe it's time for a new skin. Bastion would look great in this fan-made underwater themed skin with a gull on his shoulder.
