DJ and Pop Star skinsHeroes of the Storm skin ideas were among some of the best in any game: back when the game was at its height. That uh, isn't the case anymore (https://www.destructoid.com/heroes-of-the-storm-just-got-a-really-sad-update-that-codified-maintenance-mode/), but these concepts from Blizzard senior artist Juyoung Oh (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PmPNZo) really showcase how creative the team could get.
Found on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/w9unfa/here_are_some_concepts_for_heroes_of_the_storm/), these skins are actually a few years old, and were done during a "HOTS Hackathon" (sprint) in 2018, with Oh revealing them two years ago. Oh calls them a "personal project," but I can easily see these becoming skins in the game's heyday.
The skins are DJ Kid Murky, Pop star Li-Ming, and Selfiegenic Stitches. All of them have concept art of various parts of their kit too, and a few are genius. Murky's egg (where he hibernates if he dies in battle, only to get resurrected quicker than most MOBA characters) has a router and a cell phone charger on it. Li-Ming is centered around a technological-disco theme, and Stitches even puts a party on for people he eats.
Azmodunk was perhaps the best example of how out-there the Heroes of the Storm skin teams could get. They even recorded real basketball noises just for the skin! 2016 Blizzard: it feels like a different timeline.
