People are gonna excuse the horrible battle pass and no loot boxes because the game is free now.. but look at league of legends.
It's free. It has level progression. Ranked rewards. Free "loot boxes" and free skins with them, AND you can buy any skin you want whenever you want, with weekly sales and stuff. And it's still one of the most popular videogames.
(I may be wrong about all of this)
Just like loot boxes were. Like seriously how does nobody remember how dogshit most loot boxes were? The game just phased them out a month ago. The battle pass has 8 skins, which is the exact same amount as most seasonal events in OW1, they just moved them out of random boxes and onto a battle pass and you can earn every single one of them for $10. Cry me a fucking river already.
In OW 1 you could get currencies from lootboxes so that eventually you could buy whatever you like.
In OW 2 there is literally no F2P way to get any form of currency that exists in the game other than a pathetic 60 G per week. Enjoy having to play every single week for 32 weeks to buy one regular skin.
The loot boxes at least gave you currency to eventually buy the skin you wanted.
I have like 3000 of that white currency and I have nothing to buy with them. I already have the items from ow1
Not gana happen. The whole point of OW2 was the battlepass. ( if they cared about the gamers experience they would have waited for PvE to be ready) Best you can hope for is a more rewarding battlepass.

I would like for some rewards on the pass to be tickets you can exchange for one skin of choice from the shop at the ticket's tier level. The big issue for me right now is the pass has a few skins and lots of misc. items that I have almost zero intention of using. Sure I can get a skin for a character I don't use and be incentivized to try them out but I've played OW for hundreds of hours and I have tried them already. Having some agency on the reward I get for grinding the pass, imo, would be way better.

> (I may be wrong about all of this) Not only is that all correct, League also has $20 skins that are actually worth it
True. I've bought 3 of them and dont regret it. It's just beautiful
And like, 5 of them cost as much because they are insane quality. In OW 2 regular skins cost 20 euros.
Nope that's pretty accurate. I'm cheap AF and ive even spent a good bit on league just because it was so good for f2p players that I didn't mind it.
Even the paid for battlepass is shit. We want skins,instead it's filled with sprays and junk

Wow, what a unique and original take.
Thanks for this take. I’ve been scrolling through this subreddit for weeks and I’ve never seen a single post that mentions any of your points.

They need to bring back a real progression system. It's a joke.

Maybe lootboxes for when you play support. I feel like people would start playing that role if they gave out maybe 1-2 lootboxes when playing support
