"As someone else said, it's all about building the habit of playing the game, forcing it this way, not making a good game that you want to play more. "So, basically everyone who does not have the time to play enough to unlock heroes in time is effed, thanks," Reddit user Doppelkammertoaster (opens in new tab) wrote. Blizzard will likely release details about the battle pass soon, but the massive amount of skepticism might lead it to rethink its approach. Although a battle pass with heroes might be familiar to FPS players, the decision to add it to a game that once prided itself on the things that made it unfamiliar has left its most dedicated players worried about the direction of the sequel.Īctivision Blizzard's perforated public reception after the last two years (opens in new tab) and Overwatch 2's opaque development have left players with little reason to trust that decisions like this are made in the interest of players and not for profit. Overwatch 2's confusing status as a sequel (opens in new tab) that also replaces the original game complicates (opens in new tab) every new modern feature from other shooters that Blizzard bolts onto it. In MOBA terms, Overwatch is becoming more like League of Legends and less like Dota 2. If you're asked by a teammate to swap to a hero and can't because you haven't unlocked them yet, as many fans theorize might happen (opens in new tab), that would feel restrictive. If heroes aren't available for everyone immediately, the guaranteed back-and-forth metagame of counter-picking is fractured. To lock heroes away, no matter how easy it is to attain them, limits potential strategy and it suggests a significant shift in design philosophy with Overwatch 2. The layer of strategy hero picks add to the game underlines its MOBA and fighting game inspirations: picking Widowmaker to snipe a Pharah out of the sky can cement a win and a surprise Bastion pick can derail a snowballing team. It's common for people to switch heroes mid-match to fix a problem and it's one of the reasons the game has worked so well as a spectator sport with the Overwatch League. Overwatch has always put an emphasis on the rock-paper-scissors interaction between its heroes where counterpicks can be the key to victory over traditional skills like aim. Apex Legends and Valorant might include ability-based characters that you have to earn or pay for, but they don't attempt to emulate Overwatch's team-based, sports-like battles where hero composition often matters more than individual player skill. And it's also a game that remains unique in the competitive shooter space. Overwatch's monetization hasn't changed since then: you pay for the game and get access to everything but cosmetics like skins, sprays, and voice lines-all of which have to be earned via loot boxes. Much of the response comes from a community of players that have been playing a live service game that's six years old, that came out before live service was even solidified as a business model. "What I really need is a game that forces me to log in every day for some virtual points to unlock timed goods to make me more engaged!" Reddit user Kaellian complains. Another post from today reports the same thing with many commenters who say they've requested refunds as well.

One of the many top posts about the news on the game's subreddit is a screenshot of a Blizzard customer service email that says you can refund the Watchpoint Pack before the game's release (Overwatch 2 is free to play, but the Watchpoint Pack grants $40 worth of cosmetics, currency, and a premium battle pass).
