I probably was necessary at the start, but they also had low expectations for performance. Targets they beat by 130%. So they’ve now realised it isn’t necessary.
im sorry but they just dropped the news that heroes are free again and that you’ll be able to unlock previous bp mythics in season 10
and you are saying this isnt a dev update…really???
ow1 had a dev update talking exclusively about deathmatch
just because it doesnt spill the secrets of the universe to you doesnt mean its not a good dev update.
stop being a bratty child
Overwatch forum users speedrunning to see who can be the first to leave a negative reply to a blue post
This is fine and all but nothing amazing to make me want to get back to the game.
Also now that the new heroes are going to be free, the hero quality will probably drop like the BP did and be infested with wokeness.
“you gave me everything i asked for…I HATE YOU”
^ them
They keep dragging all the loyal players under the bus! I refuse to acknowledge anyone that buys the Mythic skins after all the hours and money we spent to unlock them! People don’t need access to every skin!

Nothing exclusive is fine.
No one said it was a big update. Just an update.
Not sure “wokeness” has anything to do with anything. But ok.
The first free hero is woke so that is not a coincidence for sure.
I mean, an article dropped the day before that exposed that upper management has basically been making everyone waste time on needless development and they’ve been using the “blizzard polish” as an excuse to push things further down the road. And when Aaron and Jared are approached and asked why nothing is getting done they essentially ignore concerns. So yea, people being critical is kinda justified when is seems like there’s nothing to show for all the time they’ve had.
New players will still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes as they learn the ropes. Once the heroes from the original Overwatch roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available.
I’m still not very sure that gamers are patient in playing the first 32 heroes in a limited way as a learning base.
but ok, let’s see how the game behaves with the immediate availability on the new heroes. AT LEAST you should no longer monetize on paytowin. ![]()
We’ll share more information on the Mythic Shop and additional changes to the Premium Battle Pass as we get closer to Season 10.
Dexerto already says how:

How unlock mythic skins - Dexerto
players will now be able earn a new currency in the Premium Battle Pass called Mythic Prisms, which can be spent to fully upgrade a Mythic skin. They will also be available for purchase.
“You can unlock a base skin, you can unlock one of the sets of upgrades for it, and then use your Mythic Prisms for upgrades on other Mythic skins that you might have and not upgraded all the way.”
That’s not the only currency change either. Players will no longer be able to earn coins from completing weekly challenges and instead, now earn them through the free Battle Passes.
However, weekly challenges will instead result in more Battle Pass
Starting Season 10, you will earn coins as you progress through the Free and Premium tracks of the Battle Pass, making them easier and more consistent to earn. We’re also increasing the number of coins you can earn for free from 540 to 600 coins per season.
this is objectively good news. But it must also be accompanied by an honest evaluation of the skins. if the skins are only based on recolors of other skins made in the past (especially OW1) and are sold with coin currency at full price it makes no sense.
samer for fake legendary skins like moira mime and other skins.
The brand-new mode we introduced at BlizzCon 2023, Clash, will make its debut this year with two accompanying maps. Get ready for intense action in the limited-time Clash trial on the new Hanaoka map at the start of Season 10. We’re excited to hear your feedback.
Season 11 will introduce Runasapi, the new Push map set against the stunning backdrop of Peru in the world of Illari and the Inti Warriors. We’re reworking some existing maps as well. Season 11 will also bring a reworked Colosseo.
We’ve been listening to your feedback on Dorado, Circuit Royale, Havana, and Numbani. We’re working on significant updates for these maps, so keep letting us know what other maps you would like us to look at in the future.
FUN-tastic! And I hopre there’s some news coming soon for others Assault maps.
actually read the article before you rage against the non existent machine.
The Mythic Shop will allow you to work towards past and current seasonal Mythic hero skins as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass. You get to decide how far into each Mythic skin you would like to build. So, for example, if you don’t want to fully unlock all of a skin’s color or model variations, you can spread your progression towards other Mythic hero skins.
We’re also adding past Mythic hero skins to the Mythic Shop, giving you the opportunity to pick up your favorites. Seasonal Mythic hero skins will be available two seasons after their debut. This means Mythic hero skins from Seasons 1 through 7 will be available in the Mythic Shop starting Season 10.
here let me re-highlight this for you
The Mythic Shop will allow you to work towards past and current seasonal Mythic hero skins as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass.
lemme zoom in a lil more for you
through the Premium Battle Pass

looks like it says you are getting progress on them through the premium bp like normal
whaaaaaat
I think the mythic “shop” will be much like the winter wonderland ticket thing, where each battlepass will reward you with X amount of Mythic tokens, enough to fully unlock a mythic skin with all its customization.
But if you don’t want certain customizations, you can save some tokens for later, for another mythic skin
At least I hope that’s how its gonna be
Yeah, got a problem with that, mister casual observer of forums?
Now allow us to gain XP in custom games again, and I’ll temporarily abolish all of the cardinal sins you’ve committed with OW2.

MAKE EXCLUSIVITY MEAN SOMETHING! DO NOT SELL OLD MYTHIC SKINS TO NEW PLAYERS! THIS IS A MASSIVE DISRESPECT TO THOSE THAT SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS GRINDING AWAY YOUR BATTLEPASSES!

remove hero dupes from MH
I play it a lot and I like it that way. I think it should be no limits period and if teams get stomped thats ok. Its rng mode
I know you play it a lot, really bad matches in MH are over fast anyway
I mean, an article dropped the day before that exposed that upper management has basically been making everyone waste time on needless development and they’ve been using the “blizzard polish” as an excuse to push things further down the road.
first of all you have no idea how true that is
a bunch of ppl just got fired and as it turns out people that get fired LOVE to lie to make their previous employer look bad
second
if you want to complain about something thats fine, but people need to stop complaining about them doing the things they begged for
the 2 most asked for things are “coins in bp” and “heroes for free”
and people are malding when they got exactly what they asked for
Going from -1 back to net 0 isn’t an improvement. Its fixing a problem they needlessly created.
Would you guess even consider a skin trading system between friends? It would be nice for people who have skin of characters they don’t play
