Cosmetics
Let's discuss cosmetics. Overwatch is known for its wide range of skins for their Overwatch characters, but none are more important than the Overwatch anniversary event skins. It's these skins that show to people to let them know that you've been here for the long ride, since the beginning, and the anniversary skins are a reflection of that.

Blizzard usually brings back some fan-favorites in addition to some new modes for people to play! With the experimental card still ongoing for the live servers, we wouldn't be surprised if Overwatch devs use this to create something crazy for fans to play.
