In case of making overwatch 2 for free, why not sell heroes so if someone needs to get a specific hero he got to buy it with a game coin (only for the new players), and the players who already bought overwatch 1 will keep getting all the new heroes for free forever!
and make a pack costs free players to get the same advantage as overwatch 1 player!
Please Blizzard do this because it will at least make sense instead of making the whole game for free and giving us 2 stupid skins!

Imagine when someone asks you to switch and you can’t because you’re too broke lol. Then you’re stuck getting countered.

Some of you should just go play Apex or Valorant or LoL and stop giving Blizzard even more bad ideas. I mean that in the nicest way possible.

to be fair to him other hero shooters do the same, r6 siege and valorant for example, and since exp boosters/pay to grind less are the biggest money makers for micro tranactions it really wouldnt suprise me if blizz did actually do this.
i mean lets face it what arent they above doing at this point

Blizzard would get an insane amount of backlash if they were to do this. I don’t think they would do this

No. The heroes won’t be paid for. It’ll just be cosmetics and stuff. Anyone who thinks you’ll need to buy heroes is dumb.
Say one hero is really overpowered, and you have to buy it, well that’s literally Pay to Win. if one team doesn’t have anyone who’s bought that hero, they’re literally just going to lose. That’s so stupid. Blizz isn’t going to make the heroes cost money

please literally every action blizz has done past 2 years across all of their games have been met with controvesey they can add it to the pile
yeah it hard to take what blizz says seriously anyway, remember when they said ow was never going to have a team death match free for all game mode and it turn out we did and its been the only mode that been getting more content. or when they said no more cc based heros when the released brig then went and released Ball
There is so much they f up
How often did they say more and better communication?
Took a long time till it happened
Then in March “We want to listen to community, we will be transparent, we will communicate more open and frequent”
The whole presentation was not really transparent and hiding PVE news in an interview is sad, not to mention the whole monetization mystery
I totally get it why people are easily irritated
If the heroes needs to be bought. Then let it be for PvE-only exclusive heroes.
That would be a really bad idea because in overwatch you can change heros in the game and in apex lol or what ever game not you pic the hero for the hole game. overwatch is a game where you can counterpic other heros so when players have to buy it it woulde create a real problem.
So i hope blizz dont do that!
How does selling heroes split the community? It doesn’t split up the other f2p fps games, many of which are much more popular than OW

isn’t the game already split since what made Original Overwatch 1 is getting completely changed with Overwatch 2? might as well incentivise people to give money so game can be sustained
Sounds like a convenient way of being a one-trick.

That’s pretty much how it works in many games with this system. They purposely release the newest hero to be totally absolutely broken and jack up the price, and once the shininess wears off, they nerf that character into the ground.
Which other games are so reliant on teamplay and counterplay?
Your hero choice have a much bigger impact on the game than in like APEX
Where does the believe come from that a company like Blizzard will scrape for money?
No seriously, I don’t understand the mindset
A look at the annual reports, OW1 generated a buttload of money by selling accounts and lootboxes
They will make sure generate enough money with BP, mythic skin and virtual currency. They know how to exploit human psychology to reach the numbers they want
