You said there would be no duplicits in loot boxes. THAN something changed and last two seasons I only get duplicits in every box.
I know, as veteran player, I have everything from OW1 and I used my hoard of white credits to buy stuff from OW2, BUT I miss most things from shop and battle pass bundles. I miss stuff from every collab, I miss all the weapon skins that came out and all the twitch drops (basicly I miss also other items, not just skins).
I HATE what you did with lootboxes at this point.
AT LEAST make sure to not give me duplicates in that one loot box, that comes out off duplicates reload.
For crying out loud!
EDIT: Guys, I don´t expect “purples and oranges”, I thought I said that clear.
There is so many icons, sprays and other low quality crap I don´t have.
Shop items doesn´t mean only “purples and orange”
I miss LOADS of voice lines for example and I would love to get those.
Actually if they’re saying “No Duplicates” and you own all the white and blue tier items, then it SHOULD only give you Purple/Orange tier items, as that’s all that should be left. If you own EVERY ITEM, then sure, I can see it giving Dupes. But beyond that, if it does say “No Duplicates”, then it should mean No Duplicates.
Heh. So how many people got the Witch sombra skin from the purple boxes they gave us during the recent event?
And the Roadhog polar skin from the weekly boxes?
I smell fraud. . . mmmmmm it’s starting to reek of it.

Idk…let me get stuff I don´t have? Maybe?
And yes, I am still waiting for lot of namecards, icons, voice lines…not just “purples and oranges”.
It doesn’t matter if its guaranteed or not, it matters if its the only choice or not. If the promise is “No Duplicates”, and the only options left are technically Purple/Orange, then those should be the only items popping.
Read who I was responding to and the context of my comment. Reading comprehension is your friend here, especially when someone is kind of on your side.
Then they aren’t in the boxes yet. I’ve gotten the pictures and stuff from the Diablo/WoW stuff they did. They just got in the boxes first since it was their own thing to put in. Events are different. But Doctor Mercy (and all the little things with it) are in the box now too.(That’s one of the many event skins that didn’t get a re-release) So the newer stuff you get to wait for.
You should be happy they are trickling them in, you get potential access to more epics and legendaries thanks to the dupes giving you more boxes.
Except clearly it does. We never had epic loot boxes before OW2.
What kinds of items are you missing? Things from colabs and bpass? Since those are not in the boxes. I also don’t think the last 2 seasons of shop items are. But pretty much everything else is.
Now, include the rest of my comment explaining why your argument is flawed:
If I reach into a bag of marbles that contains 1 of each color, and there’s only 1 color left, you don’t dump all the marbles back into the back first. You draw the only choice left.
No, this is real life now. You bought the pack of marbles looking for the green one. you didn’t care about the repeated red or whatever. You wanted the green.
Thank god you can’t buy boxes. You guys are shining examples of why that happened.
There is no indicator or name. It looks like you are responding to me.
That´s their problem and they should deal with it. Also, I don´t believe it. between all those duplicates, I got bastet Ana spray from OW1, that I missed, cause I bought the skin, when it came back. Same with doctor Mercy spray. I am sure there is much more I am missing, that IS in the pool.
More. Read my post.
Because I AM STILL MISSING stuff for those tiers. They have changed something.
First, I’d never buy Lootboxes, that’s just silly. Second:
Your analogy is flawed, yet again. First, in Overwatch, they have access to all your items you currently own, thus influencing what you get. A simple “if (owned === False) {}” flag before the selection would be enough to make sure you don’t get your dupes as it cycles through choices.
Now, to continue with your “buying the pack of marbles” thought experiment. If I go to the store that owns the marbles bag and I show them my entire collection and they say “You won’t get one you already have!” and all I have left to collect are the rare ones, what do you think the owner should do in that situation? Still say “No duplicates!” or tell me “Well, actually, I just meant no duplicates unless you already own everything in the lower tiers.”.
Now, if Blizzard already says that, then great. No problem. Their wording however says this specifically:
Boxes will prioritize giving you items you don’t already own.
Now to me, that suggests that if I don’t already own something, that’s what should get priority. IE, if I only need Orange/Purple items, then that should get priority as that’s what it says it does.
Now, their next line in discussing lootboxes says:
If we can’t avoid giving you an item you already own, we will instead grant progress towards a bonus box.
To me, this reads as “If we can’t find something you don’t own, we’ll give you bonus progress towards another box.”. Furthermore, if we look at the posted Drop Rates:
Drop Rates
On average, each rarity has the following chances of dropping per 1 Loot Box opened.
A Legendary item is guaranteed to drop within 20 consecutive box openings.
An Epic item is guaranteed to drop within 5 consecutive box openings.
At least 1 Rare item or better is guaranteed to drop in every box.
We see that no Tier is a guaranteed Drop. This means that even a Common (white) drop is not guaranteed to pop in the loot box. As such, it should default to the next level if you own all that.
In fact, the only thing that is guaranteed is “Rare or BETTER”.
