Hello Hunters!
In light of the game’s 6th Anniversary, let’s celebrate with an award show - let the “Hero Hunters 2023” awards, also known as “The Mints”, begin!
Many of you might not know that, but the 6th anniversary is called a “Sugar” anniversary, so these Mints are extra sweet but still refreshing!
It’s time for you to vote and choose your favorites from the last year!
P.S. Polls will close in a week or two!
The categories:
“Dressed to Impress”
Choose your most favorite mythic or legendary skin released in the past year! Whether it’s only by looks, power, and stats, or the Hero’s need for one, or all of that together.
- Annihilator - Matador
- Bandit - Duran
- Wastelander - Hivemind
- Swarm - Harbinger
- Clockwork - Stygia
- Apex Sentinel - Castellan
- Abyss - Enigma
- Captain Wesson - Colonel Wesson
- Abyssal Knight - Keir
- Augmented - Butter

“Dressed to Kill”
Opposite of the above, this is the one where you select your least liked mythic or legendary skin from 2023. Once again, it could be either by how it looks or based on multiple factors.
- Annihilator - Matador
- Bandit - Duran
- Wastelander - Hivemind
- Swarm - Harbinger
- Clockwork - Stygia
- Apex Sentinel - Castellan
- Abyss - Enigma
