I have a ton of loot boxes as I usually don’t open them. I wanted to get some new skins for new heroes I was going to try but opening the loot boxes takes forever. Can’t we just have an “open all” option?

Sadly that option would reduce the amount of dopamine released to the body if you open everything by one instead of dozen boxes one by one.
This would lead to reduced lootbox sales, thus it would cut their income.
In short, it ain’t gonna happen.

Well, the poster above me’s (probably true) comment, aside, we dont really need this feature, OP. I mean, seriously, unless you are buying boxes by the dozens (like i have done), you dont need an “Open All” button.
It should be simple: level up, get a box, open it, rinse and repeat.
I dont really understand this “Hoard the Lootboxes” mentality that some people have. What the box contains is determined when you get it, NOT when its opened. So, you could have 50 boxes from Wonderland 2018, but none of them will ever have a Baptiste skin (for example), so why hold on to them? All youre doing is leaving a bunch of new items (or FREE Credits) on the table, for no apparent reason.
Like i said, unless you are buying Loot Boxes by the dozens, you shouldnt have more than a handful of them, at a time. And therefore, you shouldnt need and “Open All” button, because they are easily opened, one by one.

Some of us are such high levels that we’re not interested in opening a lootbox that is going to contain 4 dupes.

I love those duplicates. Give me the currency to manually unlock what I want in new events if I don’t get it in a box!

But, its better to open them, in the long run. Dupes or not, its still credits to buy the stuff you want. Also, if new characters or Event items come out, you have to open the old boxes first, before you get to the new boxes with the new stuff.
Why put in that much work? I understand 4 dupes arent fun, but its still Credits for stuff and if you open up boxes when you get them, its less work later when you try to open 50 of them just so you can get too the new stuff.

I don’t mind getting the dupes, but I typically won’t bother opening boxes until an event comes to collect all of the currency from them to then buy things I want. Having an open all option would work great for these situations considering that out of maybe 50 saved up boxes, 3 of them will have something new for me.

But, its not like the Credits expire (to my knowledge). So, why not just open the box when you get it? That way youll already have the Credits when the Event comes and can buy what you want, right away, instead of opening 50 old Event boxes first.
Its just a lot less work, in the long run. I dont get the logic behind hoaring them.

The amount of work required doesn’t change. Opening 50 boxes one by one and opening 50 boxes all at once is the same amount of work.
As for new characters, you’re correct that I do have to open the current saved one’s before I can get basically everything that character has within the next 8 boxes, but events don’t matter as you can go back and forth between event boxes and regular ones.
Regardless, I don’t see how having an open all option affects you since you seem content with opening them one by one.

What if you want to be that 1 person who wants to keep 1 lootbox for each event.
Then you open boxes one by one. The suggestion isn’t to overwrite what you currently have.

I’m not trying to hoard them. I just don’t feel like opening a loot box after every level. I’d rather spend time playing the game than going to menus and opening loot boxes.

I mean work before you buy something. If you already have your boxes open (as you get them), then youll have the Credits when the Event comes. But, if you wait, and are short on Credits, then you have to wait and open 50 boxes before you can look to buy anything.
I mean during an Event, i want to play and get new stuff. Not spend a bunch of time opening old boxes just so i can get to the new stuff.
But, unless you never plan on opening a box again, this makes no sense. I mean, which would you rather do: set aside a few seconds as each box comes and open it, or wait for 100 boxes to pile up and have to set aside a larger amount of time, in a single sitting, opening a bunch of them.
I just dont understand it. This logic is like the people who wait for every dish in the house to be dirty, before they do the dishes. Yes, it might take the same amount of total time to wash a few dishes each day vs all the dishes one day, but which would yoyr rather do: spend 10 minutes each day cleaning the dishes of the day or wait a week, have every dish dirty and stand for over an hour, doing them all?
Loot Boxes are much the same. You want to spend a few seconds every few battles to open one, or wait for 100 to pile up and spend a half an hour block, opening them all? I just never understood the logic behind letting them pile up. If youre going to open them, just open them then, when you get them. But, if you never plan on opening a box, ever again, then by all means, let them pile up. Thats just my thoughts on it.
Just put a cat or something on your space bar and wait it out 
You can’t even hold the same button down. You need to release than press again.

It really doesnt. And im not saying “If you put this feature in, ill quit” or anything. Im just here because the concept of loot box hoarding makes no sense to me and thats more the discussion im trying to have, i guess.
I mean, why wait to open them? Why hoard a bunch of boxes, only to need to open them at a future date to get Credits or “get rid of” the old boxes, before you can get new stuff, anyway?
Unless you love mass opening boxes, i dont understand why you hoard them. What is so unappealing about taking a few seconds every few battles to open a box, quick? Why would you rather sit down for 10 minutes straight and open a bunch of them instead?
Ive opened a lot of boxes at once, multiple times. But, that was because i bought a 50 bundle and you get them all at once. But i couldnt see myself leveling up 50 times and letting the boxes sit. Thats just letting, potentially new items, and/or free Credits, sit and collect dust for no reason.
Plus, if i open boxes now, then i know exactly how many credits i have, going into an Event. Instead of being like: “Well, i have 2100 Credits. Lets hope these 50 old boxes give me enough to buy this new skin i want.” i would rather know, going in, if i have enough or not. And i like the fact knowing that every box i open at least has a chance of New items, instead of opening up 50 old boxes, knowing the whole time they wont have any of the new stuff i want.
Hold spacebar and I think that will work. Just put something on your keyboard lol
Really? I could have sworn you could do this
I’m on console, maybe it works on PC.
I see. On PC I’m pretty sure you can hold spacebar
I personally would like an open all button as well. Can still have “new” in the hero gallery if something is received but rather not have to open each box.
