Why we need to adapt to this system? Just put back lootboxes drop on every level, and let currency drop there as it was in the pre-“updated” game. Other games with battlepass still gives you lootboxes, one of all, Apex. Apex even gives you currency on everylevel, that you can spend to buy new characters, and usually 20level are needed to buy a character, pretty factible. Here, without paying you need to waste hours, and hours of your life just to play with a new hero, that maybe isn’t even good.
Exactly!!! Players on the free track should also be able to get maybe 250 to help give them a chance to get future ones
Most battlepasses don’t give out free coins unless you bought it.
It wouldn’t make sense for them to give out free coins like that, but I mean. It’s not a bad idea.
If this was implemented, the free coins would probably be tier 60.
Lol, no…
You should be able to earn back the coins you spend plus make more to buy skins. 50 coins every 20 for people doing the free track would be okay tho.
Maybe for season 2. Season 1 is already set in stone i guess. Unless you could get bonus coins for the end of the season.
“congratulations on completing the battle pass! Bonus coins!”
I really wish the Free Battlepass would give us at least one Legendary item or so. Getting only grey-tier items is a complete disrespect towards me as a customer who once bought OW 1 for 60€
outside of that, would also love for the BP to be permanent, like MCC or H:I. Time gated content - limited time events withstanding - is pure none sense this day n’ age and expects the player to only play your game, which is unrealistic.
Most have more than that.
Thank you for putting this post together! I find this model very sensible. It would bring the OW premium BP in line with modern day battle passes that many other games already use where if you play enough, you earn coins for the next season’s BP and a small extra that you can use after a few seasons (or to purchase cosmetics). The current premium BP is a bit of a let down (especially after all the hype many CC’s gave it) after seeing the lack of coins that can be earned.

It would be great but I doubt it will happen
Agreed! It’s a standard industry practice at this point, Halo Infinite launched their first battle pass without currency included but they have since changed their battle pass as well.
Bonus: they should let us KEEP our passes as well similar to how Halo Infinite and Halo Master Chief Collection allow
Overwatch 2 has the only battle pass I know of that doesn’t give the player any credits back upon completion. Even Ubisoft gives back 50% of the cost for full completion, and they’re known for greed.
OW2’s battle pass is quite possible the worst in the entire gaming industry.
Agreed. I also don’t understand how Blizzard doesn’t allow for the gathering of any other currency to unlock things period except for using cash.
I get they want a constant flow of money coming in by charging real world money for it, but they could in theory make getting something like a skin $20 for Legendary / 4000 OW2 Points to acquire. That way you still feel as though you’re working towards something while playing the game. This would make the playerbase want to engage more with the game and would still encourage those who have the means to purchase a skin / emote, etc outright to just do so.
I get their model and get what they want to do, those who can / will pay for a new BP each time one drops will just do so. We all know Blizz is a small mom and pop company who needs our dollars (Help out the small guy right?) but at the same time they’ve chosen an extremely weird model for switching to F2P.
The framework is already there since they have Legacy currency from OW.
Yeah that’s basically what I said. I’m up for people being able to earn the BP (but it’d be a huge grind to do so)… 
…no. People seem to think F2P games should just ‘hand out’ everything for free. I’m ok with the pass being earnable but anything beyond that is unrealistic… 
Yea I’m agreeing with you. I’d be ok with it being a difficult grind, but it should at least be a possible grind.

Remove hero paywall everything else i don’t care about.
Lol, I agree.
If they want to keep the battlepass restriction to unlock characters, then they should at least move it to a closer tier, like 30.
