Saw a lot of discussion about who will be getting the mid-season mythic this season. Usually the devs add a couple of teasers in the battle pass to indicate who it will be for, sometimes it's obvious, like the Ra Ana mythic having several Egyptian-themed cosmetics in the BP, but other times its a little less obvious, like Mauga's World Forger mythic from last season with only a couple of cosmetics that became obvious after the skin was revealed.

I've gone through the whole BP for this season, and as far as I can tell, every cosmetic (aside from emotes, VPs and voicelines, which can be for anyone), every item relates to a specific skin in the BP.

A few outliers that people have thought were hints at the next mythic are the repair bunny cosmetics which some people have thought were for a Brig or Torb mythic, these cosmetics are actually for the Dva skin at level 1 of the BP.

Another outlier I thought was a teaser for a Wreaking Ball mythic was the Cyber Champ player Icon on the 6th track, but someone pointed out that this is actually for Brig's BP skin on tier 3 (you can see the same icon several times on the skin and on the namecard too).

So who is getting the skin? We dont know, it seems that as far as I can tell, there are no cosmetics this time (in the BP at least) that give any clues to who will get it. But, we can still make a pretty good educated guess on likely candidates who will get it.

In the image above, you can see I've crossed off most heroes who I dont think will get it, ranging from almost impossible to get the mythic to unlikely but could still happen.

First are the heroes that have got mythic cosmetics too recently, they are essentially impossible to get another mythic as if someone like Soldier got another mythic this soon, people would lose their minds.

I also dont think Blizzard would double up twice in a season and so I've marked everyone who has previously got a mythic cosmetic in the maybe but unlikely category.

Other heroes that are almost impossible to get another mythic this season are heroes that have skins in the current BP, as to my knowledge Blizzard has never given a hero a BP skin and a mythic hero skin in the same season. So Dva, Cassidy, Brig, Pharah, Moira, Winston and Sojourn.

I've also crossed off every DPS, as I highly doubt they would give all three mythics to DPS in one season (although we did get 3 DPS mythics in a row once so its not impossible, just unlikely).

So who does this leave?

TL:DR The heroes that are most likely to get the Season 4 mid-season mythic are D.mon, Domina, Hazard, Ramattra, Roadhog, Wrecking Ball, Zarya, Baptiste, Jetpack Cat, Lucio, Mizuki, and Wuyang. I would also add that its probably more likely that it would be a tank as so far this year we've had only 1 Tank mythic skin and 3 DPS, and 3 Support.

If there's anything you think I got wrong or didn't consider, please let me know and I'll do my best to update it.

Also, side note thanks Blizzard for making the Hero Gallery tiny so I had to go on the website to make this graphic

The competitive hero skin variants are only for half a year, unlike the weapon variants, which are for the full year, meaning that you have until the end of this season to reach diamond in competitive to receive this skin. This also means a new hero skin will be released next season

Previously, the extra projectiles shot with the void surge perk would appear purple even though the main beam was recoloured red. This has now been fixed, although I checked with maid Ram too, and those are still purple, so hopefully that will get fixed soon too.
