@starguarrdian It doesnt make sense with how overwatch actually plays, that's the problem:')

@Stylosa This is frankly the result of everyone wanting Overwatch to be a live service game. You wanted content this is the price you pay for said content. I figured this would be the case months ago. I'm guessing *fingers crossed* it's going to be about on par with Val. Agent unlocks.

@L8RGamer @medster101 @MarcusS05845276 And why is Halo FTP? To adept it better to a Service/Gamepass future. Same goes for Minecraft, Microsoft Flight Simulator or Sea of Thieves (although that game is pretty fair). And that’s the reason why they are buying Activision and so COD, WoW, Diablo, Overwatch, eg

@NrvnqsrCesar @EReapr the problem is you need to swap to counter in overwatch it’s literally encouraged by the game design it isn’t at all like apex you switch hero’s mulitiple times a match in overwatch usually so it’s straight up pay to win to lock hero’s behind battle pass

@stormwalker4 @MilesDompier WTF are you taling about? FACTS? I just gave you FACTS.... no studio or game that sony kept away from MS compares to Activision Blizzard ( COD, DIABLO, OVERWATCH, CRASH etc...) the fanboysm blinds most of all ya xbox dudes

@Spex_J God the negativity, Overwatch players aren't used to being forced to play the game more to get more playable content, just to get skins. Not that OW is the same, but most games works on this system and it isn't a problem. Looking forward to it.

@FroggerOW they could prob fix it to where all the people who paid for overwatch never have to unlock characters in the battle pass to quell the anger, but then f2p players might get upset also

@Colteastwood @JayBari_ But after that 3 years extension for CoD, I’m **** out of luck unless I want to play an inferior version on a buggy laggy cloud service or buy a $400 or whatever console just to play CoD and Diablo(I can live without Overwatch)

@TBSkyen whales to spend and that's a bad thing, but if it's truly done right, then I have no problems with it. Now, games like Overwatch 2 that literally place essential items into the battlepass for no reason what so ever, that shits scummy as ****.

(@PatrickDane) reported
Overwatch 2 locking heroes behind a pay wall sounds bad, but it's not surprising with its move to f2p. I also think it's one of those things that sounds like a massive issue now, but will quickly become a non-issue after a couple hours with the game.

So… New Overwatch heroes are going to be locked behind either a progression wall or paywall… ”Holy ****, we need to counter the enemy team, shame we haven’t reached level 50 on the battlepass” Overwatch devs taking a crash course in how to make your entire fanbase hate you

(@Chook20041) reported
I feel like the main problem behind this is that you’re locking a shitton of game content either behind a paywall or a shitton of time. I know other games do that and are still popular, but not Overwatch, dude. Overwatch was supposed to be different.

@CriticalxMiss @EricMPerez_ No it isn't a problem. Sorry but as live service F2P game problems go there are worse problems Blizzard will encounter than a simple hero unlocking. Competitive Overwatch is a joke either Blizzard makes a comp environment for serious players or not at all

@theMoneyFolder The battle pass isn't that bad and isn't "predatory". Overwatch 2 being free is a good thing for the game. The issue is Blizzard is making pay to win.

@msmegatronn Totally true that it is a bigger problem in Overwatch, but i think it's always a decision based on getting more money, not on making a better game.

Kyle Fedor
(@KyleFedor1) reported
@theMoneyFolder the problem with this is that overwatch is a game that is literally built to have team compositions be the most important thing about it, there's a reason paladins didn't take off as much as overwatch and it was for that big reason

@ErikaGGs_ @MoilyJade It really isn’t like other f2p games tho. Overwatch is about swapping heroes and counter play. This is an issue

(@TheS0cialite) reported
@Stylosa All these people say I don’t see a problem because Apex and Val do the same, Overwatch revolves around it’s heroes whilst games like Apex and Val revolve around Gunplay, it’s stupid to put your characters behind grinding, what if you need this character to win? or to counter?

Nothing more hilarious than your Reinhardt throwing on the second part of hanamura because you're lagging, because he thinks you threw, then he blames you and says it's your fault even though the heat wave in Cali has knocked out your Wi-Fi #overwatch. Ps we wone #overwatch #lol

@krepzzz @fperezroa @Jesuszilla1 Apex Legends/ Valorant/ Overwatch. The list goes on & on of successful service games. Sony doesn't have the talent nor desire to create a new IP that can compete. Just crying in a corner can't do anything about it. Making games is too hard.

@AnthonyGriffion @YiskaOut Brigitte on release? Junker Queen now? Overwatch has a pretty "good" track record of heroes being broken at launch.

@reversetfw It's not a problem but doesn't fit a game like Overwatch

the few overwatch fans left were copeing real hard after the microsoft acquisition saying it would fix the game but now overwatch 2 is just going to be the same game but with more egregious microtransactions and FOMO lmao

@Stylosa overwatch is back baby! honestly we shouldve seen this coming when they announced a battle pass. the combination of blizzard's scumminess and the disconnect between ow devs and its players made this pretty obvious

Help
(@Chase82019504) reported
@Spex_J I think the problem here is that people are treating overwatch 2 the same as overwatch 1. Overwatch 1 is more dependent on team comps to win while overwatch 2 I’m guessing will be different in that way. If not, I don’t know why they would do this at all. Seems silly
-
Stark⚡️
(@HellfireStark) reported
@Spex_J @Dorwulf Horrible idea. Games like Val, LOL, and Apex don’t allow you to switch heros mid game. Overwatch is about switching to counter other hero’s or compositions. This is absolutely a “P2W” money trap and I’m not happy at all. You ****** up Overwatch team FIX THIS NOW!

Eli Bock
(@elidavidbock) reported
@Spex_J I love overwatch so much, why would you absolutely ruin it. I’m begging you to speak to whoever you can to fix this pathetic moneygrubbing and let the game keep its integrity. This is coming from someone who has paid for lootboxes… this WILL ruin the game.

@NikoMueller This is the reason why you guys don't seem to get it. Microsoft also own Halo and Overwatch IPs, the larger competitors to CoD in the FPS genre. They will now own >90% of all FPS revenue. This is a huge monopoly legal issue here. This is a bad thing for everyone if it happens

(@Alvelinh) reported
It will go down in videogame history how bad the communication of Overwatch 2 is. I'm confident enough that locked heroes won't be a big problem, but they have been so bad in explaining the changes to counter picks and monetization, that I super understand why people are so mad.
