Kiriko being immediately available to OW1 players definitely helps to soften the blow a bit, but I still think locking heroes behind the battle pass is scummy. It doesn’t make sense in a game like Overwatch.

[semilucky]

I swear Genji always gets the good stuff

[jays]

In a game who's foundational goals have always been to encourage players to "swap heroes to strategically counter the enemy team", the fact that you are locking those counter-picks behind a "battle pass" just shows how far you have distanced yourself from the values you used to badge.

The artists did a great job creating these skins and what not, let's see how much the business people make us grind/pay for it.

It’s hard to believe it’s finally here. I definitely distanced myself quite a bit over time, but I’m excited to come back and see how much the game’s evolved.

“Most rewarding overwatch experience ever. And by that it will be most rewards for us to put everything behind a pay wall”

[KarQ]

Ngl the art team went incredibly hard. Definitely a tier above what we're used to. Only fitting for the new title 🔥

[mLsupport]

Kiriko is AMAZING, but we can't forget about that MYTHIC SKIN for Genji

[lockejohnex]

I'm already missing the loot boxes. At least you can get a ton of them just by playing.

Blizzard OW1: Just play a few games every week and you can unlock every skin in the game, no problems

Blizzard OW2: Give us $10 every 9 weeks or you get nothing.

I already feel the burnout from feeling pressured to play when I don’t want to just so I can get all the skins for dva

[Renji_Abarai]

I hope we can get some more information regarding the Battle Pass and costs for stuff prior to October 4! All of this looks awesome but i can't help but think how all of it is placed behind a price tag now.

[wpath]

Ok this is great and all and I love it EXCEPT I don’t like how the new heroes are going to be unlocked from now on.

[tekashikimo]

I don´t think I like the Battlepass. Overwatch always represented a "purchase once have every future content unlocked" philosophy. It just seems wrong to have new characters locked behind either a lot of grinding or money not to mention it makes a really bad money hungry impression :/

[brianirwin]

I'm very concerned about the Battle Pass. I noticed in Halo Infinite that people will tend to play the Pass, not the objective, in games; victory comes and goes but hitting 4 headshots in 1 match to get your new cosmetic has a tangible reward associated with it. I'm worried that Battle Pass will fracture OW for casual play. You can't win if 2 of your team are focused on personal challenges instead of the match objective.

[vankisha]

Imma be honest. I'm still very sceptical of heroes being in the Battle Pass but everything else looks amazing.

Edit: Apparently heroes are locked until you reach level 55 on the BP... That's.... not good.

Blizzard needs to realize that their audience has grown savvy enough to notice trigger words like "Weekly bundles", "Instant Unlocks", and "Battle Pass". These are all words that indicate that 90% of this game will be weaved into a scheme that encourages you to pay more money. Do you guys remember the days when you bought a game and were able to play all of its content without being constantly pressured to spend more money on it?

[theartistjay]

Nice to see blizzard are doing things that most people hate about video games

[Thandral]

We're all in this together!

Except for those who haven't bought the original Overwatch and can't play all the heroes.

Watching this gives me a bittersweet feeling. Overwatch 1 was one of the games where I got into the hype at launch and spent many long nights matching up with random players I had good ranked games with from 2016 to 2019 when I stopped playing. I found out I liked playing DVA and Winston even though I hate tank rolls in other games. I'll probably give OW2 a shot but now that I'm working full time and have a GF with limited time to play except on weekends I don't know how I feel about the battlepass system.
