BlizzCon 2016 is home to some of the most impressive Overwatch cosplay that can be found anywhere; after all, it's also where some of the biggest Blizzard fans in the world gather.

Overwatch wasn't even out yet when BlizzCon rolled around in late 2015. Now, several months after the game's release and propelled by rapid success, the 2016 fan event saw more gender-bending costumes and alternate hero skin cosplay than ever.

We can't wait to see what next year holds, especially after the long awaited announcement of hacker hero Sombra.
