please tell me what theme or idea you have for your main’s mythical skin?
Honestly, it doesn’t even matter anymore.
Only the people willing to drop $20+ for cosmetic items are ever going to be able to use the thing, now that the old system of random rewards has been taken out of the game.
I want Zenyatta’s mythic skin to be him as a human, with flesh and blood. How uncanny would that be?

I know it sucks and I hope the address it but a mythical skin would be only 10 dollars and playing the game. and i find the mythical skin alone worth 10 dollars
If I want the Executioner skin for Junk Queen, for example, that costs 1900 currency.
To buy that currency, I need to spend a minimum of AUD$29.95 (equivalent to USD$19.23, according to google) to have that currency.
Alternately, I can save up coins. Overwatch2 has been out for less than a month and I have about 100 coins. So it’ll only take… a bit over a year and a half for me to get that skin, at the current rate.
Which is why I’m so apathetic about what fancy stuff might be coming in the future - because it’s entirely unaccessible unless I devote noticeable amounts of money towards cosmetics for OW2 (instead of purchasing literally any other game).
I’m not entirely opposed to the concept of purchaseable cosmetics; I do have the pink Mercy skin, after all. But I can’t find it in me to care for what’s on offer when they’ve skipped past ‘microtransactions’, directly into ‘transactions’.
(Sorry for derailing this, btw. Hopefully other folks have fun ideas.)
Skins that upgrade their “base fantasy”
Genji is a ninja, his mythic is a cyber demon ninja. Good.
Soldier 76 should get something that level-up his fantasy of being a super soldier. More cybernetics, maybe the rifle transforms or has cool effects when get kills.

D.Va: When D.Va ults or loses her mech, we see her eject… in another Tokki. And when she ejects out of that… she’s actually in another Tokki. And when she ejects out of that…
Just kidding, of course.
Personally, my expectations for D.Va’s mythical skin are astronomically high. Whatever she gets for her mythical skin had better top her already phenomenal All-stars Celestial skin!
How about:
Both the mech, and pilot Hana are dressed in the glowing ghostly blue of hard light itself. Looking closer at the mech, we can see coursing through its hydraulic veins all the projectiles she’s ever eaten: countless bullets, darts, rockets, orbs of fire, and even Mei’s Snowball robot. When the mech flies, it shimmers, leaving a multitude of momentary highly transparent projections of itself behind.
And maybe instead of being dressed in hard light, it turns out that Hana herself is actually a being of hard light, some out-of-this-world humanoid extra dimensional god, complete with glowing steaming eyes. And those are not mere projectiles you see: but an entire nebula swirling through her. A mere gamer she is not: clearly she’s an envoy of The Master Race*, and here to kick butt.
Obviously could feature lots of colors and patterns to customize.
*You know which one I’m talking about.

I have no idea what it would look like, but something super High Fantasy for D.Va, or really any of the heroes I play.
With how changes to effects work and with how much removed of a setting it is from Sci-Fi, High fantasy I feel like would probably involve some of the biggest changes to character designs and effects. We already have some skins that do it and they all look amazing.
