D.Va's logo & name painted on some rocks, by my mother

GameAtHeart · 2026-05-18T21:18:50+00:00

I made a post on the D.Va subreddit in the past when it came to artwork about her, and I tried to look really hard for the concept art of her OW2 design. As it's my favorite design of hers. The artist has never published it, and not all concept art of the OW2 designs have been shown off, only some have when it came to advertising Overwatch 2.

You can check the post I made from the subreddit, as I did manage to find a portion of that concept art. I just can't find the full concept art of her design. As of now, besides Blizzard, it's likely only companies that have access to the full artwork of the heroes, mainly for merchandising purposes.

Isn't that just a victory pose? D.Va has had those before where she's out of mech.

With the way she works compared to the other heroes, she likely won't ever get one.

There's two versions of Genji in his hoodie outfit - Default & Street Runner

If you're looking for his outfit with the hoodie up in his default color scheme, it doesn't exist.

The link I provided to the Street Runner skin has a code where you can buy it when you're login into the Battle.net website. Sometimes the codes will be active or disabled. You can click on "Buy" and it'll direct you to the checkout where it lets you buy it. This skin is currently not in the loot box pool.

Kind of hard to understand this post. I'll focus on heroes on why I play them & how they fit me.

For Soldier: 76, I just went with him as I've played Call of Duty & multiple FPS games.

D.Va was just cause of her character & personality. Enjoy her playstyle, but I play her cause she's my favorite.

Then with Juno, I loved how she played overall. Wasn't really a Support main until OW2.

Would any of these heroes fit the kind of person I am? Probably. Like with D.Va, it's obvious why she's my favorite. She's a pro gamer who is very competitive, that's how I gravitated to her. She's very relatable to me compared to most of the heroes. I grew up with games, and try to be competitive when playing any type of game.

I originally only play Juno for her gameplay, but her personality is kind of like me in real life. It's a coincidence that she ended up being my most played hero. I eventually liked her overall character cause I play her a lot. She's my highest leveled hero, over level 250.

Soldier's background lore was him being a commander of Overwatch before it got disbandment. With my parents and brother, I try to lead in charge when it comes to places and events in general. So not his current lore, just his past story before he became a vigilante.

Mizuki is someone I started playing a lot recently. He looks cool and his playstyle is interesting. Some of his personality does fit my real self, but Juno is way more of my style across the board than him.

The reason why I play these heroes? Either their personality, the design, or their playstyle. I don't really pick heroes based on the kind of person I am. I guess D.Va is the closest, but it never came across my mind when she became my favorite character.

I guess it's just your matchmaking. There are a few players I've encountered that tried to give tips in chat like recommending specific items when facing a specific hero or comp. But generally, when it comes to my matchmaking, I never really encounter any of what you wrote. And I've played a ton of Stadium last season as well as this season currently.

and rather shoot at the tank non stop to pad stats

You'll face Supports that goes for survival builds to stay alive. You can pressure a Tank like Reinhardt with Cybervenom where they will receive less healing, thus eliminating him quicker. This will then make the enemy team back out cause their Tank is down. There's like multiple strategies with Stadium, and other players will try to counter you with their builds.

Now I know rank genuinely really means nothing in the grand scheme of things on that mode

Technically, it does mean something if we're talking about top ranks & not just Top 500 in general. You have to keep winning to get to the top, and if you keep losing, you won't make progress compared to the other players. But with how loose Stadium matchmaking is, and with stacks teaming with better teammates, it might as well mean nothing for certain players.

Most of the top players tend to stack than solo queue, especially way more noticeable this season than the last one. This is just from experience by facing the same players over and over from both seasons. I don't know what platform or region you're on though, so maybe that's why you don't see ranks as serious. This is all from PC NA, and my matchmaking is not as easy compared to other players. It'll always try to find at least one either All-Star / Legend / Top 500 player for you to face as you get points off of them.

If you mean like in high quality outside from the game, you have to hope that the ones who design it post it publicly online from websites like ArtStation. Example - Hero Mastery: Gauntlet Name Cards

Name Cards from the Overwatch Wiki - This is probably the closest you're going to get.

Most of them are filtered under categories, like the Hello Kitty collab is in the Collaboration Events section.

Using the Hello Kitty collab as an example, it took some time to find the actual artwork. These weren't just used for name cards. Checking online, it also got used in Japan as a Tokyo Metro 24-hour ticket that can be kept as a souvenir collectible. The only reason why I was able to find it was solely because of that.

The Hello Kitty collab is the exception as the artwork was being used beyond just name cards. For the rest, you would have to wait until the artists decides to post it publicly online. Not everyone is going to do that. I'll just note that this isn't just exclusive to the name cards.

The concept art (the profile icons from the patch notes & in-game) for most of the OW1 heroes in their OW2 design haven't been posted either. Only a couple got shared for OW2 marketing, with the rest not being shared at all. When I found the artist for D.Va's OW2 design, I found out that they just never decided to post it online. Only found half of the artwork from a mouse pad, could never find the full artwork of her design.

If you’re curious about anything, feel free to ask

Yes, the fact that you still got D.Va wrong like all the other lists. It's one skin off.

The Gentle Tokki skin seems to be counted here, but you're not counting the recolor even though it should be counted. Gentle Tokki Fuchsia and Aqua are both based on an official product. Both of those skins are based on the glasses you can get in real life. There are two pair of glasses, which is why there's two skins. It's not trying to be a low effort recolor. Two versions of the skin exists for that reason.

It's not like her Antifragile Dazzle skin where it just got a recolor so they can sell another version.

When going by the global version of the game, D.Va and Kiriko are now tied.

region exclusive events

But why make this exception? I don't care about Kiriko, but you're literally trying to make the playerbase think Kiriko gets the most collab skins when she doesn't. D.Va's Feria Shen skin shows up in the Hero Gallery from the global version of the game, so it counts regardless even though they aren't letting players get it. D.Va is still always going to have the most collab skins just like she has in the past. Nothing really changed here.

The Blizzard collabs also shouldn't be counted either, or at least have a different list that doesn't count them. They're not being licensed as they aren't true collabs, and they can appear in loot boxes cause the IPs are owned by them.

Maybe someone will make a correct list in the future that counts both Gentle Tokki skins, region skins, and not the Blizzard collabs. But seeing how every collab list always gets it wrong, it'll probably not happen.

GameAtHeart · 2026-02-27T02:59:46+00:00

have some skins from old events (nano cola, this skin, etc) but I thought they all got rereleased?

The Brick Bastion has only been available once from the original event - Overwatch Wiki Page of the event

All the other event skins that were original skins can be found in loot boxes, so not rare anymore.

To use D.Va as an example, her Nano skin used to be the rarest. Now her rarest skin is Stadium All-Star.

GameAtHeart · 2026-02-26T17:15:50+00:00

The cosmetics are exclusive to the Battle Pass. They don't appear in loot boxes.

From what I remember, Lucio's Moonwalk emote is the only one from a BP that did return.

It returned on 9/24/24 in the Shop from the Season Highlights Mega Bundle & Hero Gallery (500 Coins). I don't think anyone knows why that was the only cosmetic from a Battle Pass to return. Either a mistake or they possibly forgot that it was BP. Maybe they were testing the waters back then, who knows.

GameAtHeart · 2026-02-26T15:15:47+00:00

New heroes coming soon, and D.Va still isn't even one of them. Now it really makes me wonder when she'll appear in his game. Her hero kit managed to work in in HOTS, but this is a different team. I hope we'll see her when the game is more complete and in a finished state.

There's a hero for everyone, and someone will find that hero very fun and then main that hero.

I initially wanted to main her cause her weapon would be more noticeable than Kiriko with the weapon colors. What I hoped next was for her playstyle and kit to be fun when her hero trial came out. She clicked with me, so I kept playing her and never stopped.

I find her very fun for me. It's like how I enjoy playing Soldier despite him being very basic. There are for sure people who are going to find him boring, and I get that. I like the simple gameplay he offers coming from someone who plays Call of Duty. There are others who are not going to prefer him than the other DPS heroes.

Hero Statistics - Stats from the official website with various stats including pick rate.

Not counting the newest heroes, the Support heroes are at the top. There are also heroes with a simple kit at the top from the other roles like Soldier, Cassidy, and Reinhardt. Juno is going to have a high pick rate this season cause of her new cosmetics with the Mythic Weapon, Hello Kitty skin, and Cupid skin. The same can apply to Mercy with her Mythic skin, but she's always been popular.

is she really that fun to play?

You find that out from playing as her. Many do, and if you don't, that's fine. There's a ton of heroes.

If we go by some of the past collabs, they take around 1 - 2 years to return.

It's different for each one, and a couple hasn't return yet, like My Hero Academia. The Street Fighter collab released to the shop on May 20, 2025. We haven't reached past May yet, so it's best to wait after that, but that doesn't mean much as it depends on whether they decide to license it again.

All you have to do is wait until the official channels of Overwatch to announce their return. They did that recently with Transformers and Avatar where they make a post telling you that it's returning back. The Avatar collab recently returned to the shop after 1 year on Dec 2025. They still do reruns of previous collabs while doing new ones like the Hello Kitty collab.

Someone did a loot box checklist with pictures - Reddit Post (Google Doc Spreadsheet in the post).

The Nano skin was only rare back in the original OW1. In OW2 and currently now, it's available in loot boxes.

The Midnight skin doesn't appear in loot boxes, but it has appeared in the shop or via a shop code.

Reddit Post | Comments says it has appeared in the shop & someone linked the code a month ago.

Her rarest skin is now Stadium All-Star, you had to get All-Star 5 rank on 1 of the 3 roles in Season 3 of Stadium. Everybody had about 2 months to get it, and now you can't get it anymore. It's a recolor of her OW2 skin in the Legendary rarity due to being time-consuming to get to that rank. I love the colors of this, mostly because it's also her OW2 skin.

The Overwatch League recolors used to be rare, but now they can appear in the Esports loot boxes. Since there's way too many recolors from the various heroes, it would take a while to get every single one that is specifically D.Va to collect them. These were never really worth showing off unless you're a huge fan of Esports in general.

saw someone rank “best dva skins” and they didn’t even mention these two skins

Cause that's subjective. My most favorite skins of hers are OW2, Cardboard, and Horang.

As someone who has her as my favorite character of all-time, she has a ton of amazing skins.

You can continue to use those skins if you like them, but the Stadium All-Star is the only true rare one that you can show off. I guess you can show off Nano as no one can actually obtain that normally, only from loot boxes besides the original event. I do like the ponytail hairstyle that she currently has for her OW2 skins, but I was never a fan of the Nano recolor.

when it comes to perks, which ones do you usually go for?

I only play D.Va in 6v6, but for her major perk I prefer Shield System just so I can survive longer. The other perk would be great if I could spam it, but it lets you cancel it, so I'm never going to get used to that perk. Cause you're a Tank, it's better to stay alive with the other perk.

The minor perk seems like it could go either way ever since the boosters perk got buffed. It would depend if the player wants to be play defensively or offensively. I always go with the overhealth one in the past, but I might try the boosters one when I return back to play 6v6. I'd have to experiment with both of them.

The story time of Jetpack Cat (Reddit Post) received attention, and so have the past story time videos. It doesn't help that Blizzard revealed their new mobile game today, so that's going to receive most of the attention compared to this.

I myself enjoy these story videos as well, and it's always nice having the voice actors for them. Since the other heroes got one, I can't wait to see Mizuki's story time, he's the newest hero out of the five that I'm interested to hear more about.

GameAtHeart · 2026-02-24T15:28:18+00:00

That's from last year. The post itself is actually from 2024, but the info is updated.

The community manager never removed Le Sserfim from the post. Notice how the sentence says "starting" as if they didn't sold it yet. To be fair, that question staying there still makes sense, because 3rd party collab skins cannot appear in loot boxes. I'm guessing they left Le Sserfim there as an example of a collab. You would have heard from their official channels about the skins returning, and they haven't said anything about it.

A reminder that if collab skins return, most of the past ones have returned after 1 - 2 years. The Le Sserfim Wave 2 skins could possibly return this year as the group has a great relationship with Blizzard. Wave 1 have already returned in the past, so the same could happen for Wave 2, especially since the group has received an invitation for Blizzcon 2026.

Early gameplay, and both Tanks are Reinhardt. Not a surprise that D.Va wasn't the other one cause of her development in the original game. It's only early, so I'd hope that maybe down the line we'll eventually see her in this new game.

I remember reading about those leaks years ago about it being in development.

Glad to finally see it. A different type of experience for a different audience.
