Summary
An inventiveOverwatch 2fan has shared their idea for a Mythic Lucio skin, which would see players customizing the music the hero plays. Since the firstOverwatch, Blizzard has released countless skins for the characters within its hero shooter, but with the release ofOverwatch 2, the devs have introduced a new skin tier with a unique feature.
This new tier is called Mythic, which joinedOverwatch 2with the release of the game’s first battle pass. Unlike other skins,Overwatch 2’s Mythic skinsreflect the season’s theme and have a high level of customization. To get all the customization options for these skins,Overwatch 2players must complete the battle pass, with the final tier unlocking all the options. So far, nineOverwatch 2heroes have received Mythic skins, with impressive looks introduced for Genji, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Sigma, Tracer, Ana, Hanzo, Orisa, and most recently, Moira.
Reddit user roqueofspades shared a creative idea for a Mythic Lucio skin that would see one of the customization options allowing players to change the music Lucio plays. The player recalls thatOverwatch 2already has unique music for a skin via theJazzy Lucio outfit, where the hero looks like a jazz musician, and in turn his songs have a traditional jazz groove beat. The OP also notes that for this idea to become a reality, Blizzard’s hero shooter would have to return to offering “real customization options” to players.
How Music Influences Lucio’s Skins in Overwatch 2
One of the members of the roster from the firstOverwatch,Lucio is anOverwatch 2support herowho uses the power of music to help allies with healing and acceleration. According to the hero’s lore, Lucio is a celebrity who inspires social change through his music. This detail of his story inspired the creation of different music-themed skins in addition to Jazzy, such as the Disco, Bard, and Equalizer skins. But despite having skins of varying tiers, including Legendary looks, the Brazilian hero has yet to receive a Mythic skin.
Last year,Overwatch 2confirmed changes to Mythic skins after a lukewarm reception from players. More recently,Overwatch 2revealed extra tweaks are coming to Mythic skins, allowing players to choose how far they want to go with the customization options, and giving them the chance to unlock past Mythic skins via a special in-game store. As a game that’s constantly changing, and has a history of making creative skins for its heroes, time will tell whichOverwatch 2characters receive Mythic skins in the coming seasons.
