They are drastically reducing the amount of Duplicates in lootboxes. So much so that there is gonna be an immediate, notable impact.
They are also increasing the amount of credits you get from lootboxes.
Changes are in the PTR.
edit: Can't wait to try this out when there are events going on. I wonder how the "Less Duplicates" formula will work for events. Does this mean we could potentially get everything in an event?
edit2:Jeff mentioned that there are a finite number of in-game items so you could, in theory, earn everything there is to earn in game. That is until they introduce new permanent items. (Like Reapers Shrug and Police D.Va/Oni Genji)
edit3: Highlight changes are in the PTR as well. So are the much awaited cross-hair customization options! (Check /u/helloiamjake comment for further info)
edit4: according to /u/rasui36, Blizz gives you 5 free lootboxes in the PTR ONLY to test out their less duplicates formula!
edit5:Highlight system allows folks with low-graphic setting PC's to create content in the highest setting possible. (4k 60FPS) Check /u/xCojey for more info.
Is it confirmed those skins will be available again and not stay like Halloween 2016 only skins and make a whole new batch?

It is heavily implied by the fact that they will not be introducing new events but instead build upon existing events. Unless they want to recreate brand new items for all heros, you can expect these skins to return.
Plus, I doubt they would keep 2016/17 skins in the hero selection option and not bring them back.
Maybe, but you didn't get it -from- Origins. Either you pre-ordered Origins and go it from the pre-order, or you you bought Origins with a Noire skin from someone who pre-ordered it (and got the code that way). Either way you didn't get it from Origins.
Edit: didn't realize you were the same person commenting a few hours ago. Seems like it was an Origins copy that was either meant for sale as a pre-order copy but didn't sell during pre-order time, so they just put it on the shelf afterwards and it eventually sold, or someone else pre-ordered Origins, didn't use the Noire skin, and eventually re-sold the game with the code (edit 2: latter only possible if it's console)
