An inventive Overwatch 2 fan has shared their idea for a Mythic Lucio skin, which would see players customizing the music the hero plays. Since the first Overwatch, Blizzard has released countless skins for the characters within its hero shooter, but with the release of Overwatch 2, the devs have introduced a new skin tier with a unique feature.
This new tier is called Mythic, which joined Overwatch 2 with the release of the game's first battle pass. Unlike other skins, Overwatch 2's Mythic skins reflect the season's theme and have a high level of customization. To get all the customization options for these skins, Overwatch 2 players must complete the battle pass, with the final tier unlocking all the options. So far, nine Overwatch 2 heroes 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 that Overwatch 2 already has unique music for a skin via the Jazzy 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.
One of the members of the roster from the first Overwatch, Lucio is an Overwatch 2 support hero who 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 2 confirmed changes to Mythic skins after a lukewarm reception from players. More recently, Overwatch 2 revealed 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 which Overwatch 2 characters receive Mythic skins in the coming seasons.

Blizzard is taking mid-match leaves on Overwatch 2 more seriously and is implementing harsher punishments when Season 10 arrives. People playing Unranked games won't be able to join a queue for five minutes after leaving two of their last 20 games. And if they leave at least 10 out of the last 20, they'll be suspended for 48 hours. Players probably want to be even more careful when it comes to leaving Competitive games, though, because doing so 10 times out of 20 will get them banned for the rest of the season. In its announcement, Blizzard said that while it's aware not everyone abandons a game on purpose, these changes «should help curb those players who deliberately choose to leave a match.»
Blizzard has confirmed new social features coming in Overwatch 2's Season 10, including Wide Groups that allow friends with different Competitive ranks to play together, more penalties for leaving a match early, and a revamped Streamer Protect option.
