Going from fairly good pay 2 play model to the worst F2P model. In Overwatch 1 you could earn a lootbox for every new level, yes, you had to BUY the game and it also had microtransactions, but it was kinda rewarding, so nobody really minded it that much. You got every hero on release, we've got archives, anniversary, new year, halloween events etc. with special cosmetics etc etc. It was FINE. Could be better but it was fine.

They brought Overwatch 2 out of nowhere, and it is nonsense. The worst F2P model for a customer/player I've seen. You don't get coins back from battlepass, skins cost 20€+ and they are a lot of times just recolors of base char model (example junker queen skins) - look what LoL 20€ skins can get you, those skins CHANGE THE WHOLE MAP, or VALORANT skins for 25€, you get insane finisher with special music, effects, sound effects for a gun, incredible visuals etc....You have to BUY BATTLEPASS TO GET NEW HERO or reach level 55 which is insanely high for a casual player.

The new comp mode push is ♥♥♥♥. I hate playing it more than I did playing 2CP which they removed. It's boring, and the new flashpoint isn't better...

So yeah, overwatch 2, made cuz of PvE, new engine, yay... The time comes.. and we got... Archives 2.0? 3 missions for 15€, don't get me wrong, you also get 1000 Coins for a battlepass, oh, unless you bought it on steam, you get nothing if you buy it from steam, it just takes your money and support doesn't answer for 21 hours. Very exciting.

Overall the missions just seem like recycled content, shrinked to minimum and just released with words "well, it is done somehow, lets just grab some money from it instead of scrapping it entirely" and it is exactly how it feels to play or how does it look. 1 hour of gameplay for those 3 missions, ugly battlepass skins, ugly expensive shop skins, ♥♥♥♥'s just hilarious.

I loved this game, I loved this game so much, the lore, the characters, cinematics, the idea, friends i've made along the way... But Blizzard killed their own game, such a shame.

I just hope Riot Games somewhere out there makes Overwatch clone and they will 100% succeed, because that's how you take care of your games blizz, take notes, idiots.
