Hi Overwatch team, I’m writing to report some technical issues with the Mythic Skin for Genji and Kiriko that appeared after the recent game update. The skin seems to have lost several key features that previously distinguished it as a mythic-tier cosmetic.
- Missing Visual Effects:
The shuriken no longer display the unique particle effects (glowing trails, celestial sparks, etc.) that were tied to the mythic skin. They now visually resemble the default skin’s projectiles.
- Audio Inconsistencies:
The sound effects for the shuriken throws have reverted to the standard skin’s audio, losing the mythic-exclusive sound design.
As a mythic skin enthusiast, these details greatly impact the premium experience. I kindly request your team to investigate and restore these features in a future patch. Additionally, it might be worthwhile to check other mythic skins for similar oversights.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to improving the game!

Additional details
When I use Genji’s Mythic skin, if I switch to 3rd-person perspective in stadium mode, I can see the shuriken’s unique particle effects like before. But when I switch to 1st-person perspective, the effects disappear. So does the Kiriko’s Mythic Skin.
Additionally, my teammate can also see the Mythical particle affects.
I sincerely hope that the team will notice and fix this bug as soon as possible.

This issue is still in the game over two months later, please fix this.
I also observed this, I tried making a post about it today but seeing posts over two months back about this same issue makes me worried it won’t get fixed 
I think the only ones effected are Genji and Kiriko, Hanzo does not seem to have this issue and he’s the only other projectile DPS with a mythic right now.
This also happens to Mercy mythic. Her trail when she uses Guardian Angel or her wings, it’s gone. You can’t see it from your POV. It’s either red, blue, or purple mist trail. Everyone else can see it, enemies, teammates but yourself no.
Mercy mythic also has NO heal audio. The mythic heal sfx is literally bugged. This started happening when the Gundam Collab came out near the end of April.
It seems a lot of the mythics are bugged which is frustrating and it literally ruins the overall satisfaction of the skin without having the mythic sfx or vfx.
I’ve been trying to get them to fix it but nothing. Not having genji shurikens glow, Mercy mythic no audio sfx, Kiriko no vfx, it just sucks. It’s supposed to be a mythic and it doesn’t feel like it.
