    @BlizzardCS Hi, I am still missing random Overwatch 1 Skins in Overwatch 2. I Had everything unlocked, and they’re just gone. What is the plan? It’s been over a month, I’d really like to know if I’m expected to buy things I actually already went through the trouble of earning?

  • LumpyTheCook Lumpy (@LumpyTheCook) reported

    Also the gold farmer/bot problem was never seriously tackled and Blizz eventually opted to throw up their hands and let the in-game economy just die because all their moderators and GMs were too busy banning Overwatch players for saying “gg ez” or w/e. Thanks!!

  • knights_stormy StormyKnights (Tales of Your Mom) (@knights_stormy) reported

    Honestly I don't really have a problem with the battle pass in Overwatch 2, my problem is the over priced as **** skins

    Blizzard might as well make a third-person view since that can fix for people wanting to see the characters skin for Overwatch.

  • EKrilko Evin Krilko (@EKrilko) reported
