If you actually , unironically think, that is how P2W works, you need to do A LOT of research mate, no offense.

This is like 90% of what people on these forums talk about, lol.
Probably this, probably that.
Remember when the mythic skin was only going to be purchasable on the store for $40? And now it’s in the battlepass? lol.
You think they are going to release a hero that is UNCOUNTERABLE? lol.

I don’t understand how people dont get this… this game is not other games. It is a shooter completely reliant on counter picking. locking heroes, for 2 hours, 5 6 whatever is not OK.

I don’t think she should be in the battlepass, but if she is in it early, it might mean less grinding than typical for games like this. Usually you have to save up X amount of currency to buy a character.

Not locking meta heroes in quickplay is OK for 2, 5, 6, or 100 hours. I can’t make my DPS swap hitscan into pharah, so I don’t really care if you have Kiriko.

Not to mention, not everyone is necessarily going to play the game immediately after the new season starts. If the hero is delayed in comp for a week or two, some people may not even be playing that week.
Competitive games are not supposed to be “whoever plays the most wins the most”. It’s about actual skill, and if you can maintain a competitive advantage over other players and win more without needing to play every day then you should be able to.

Well, if they release a hero that can swim underwater, and no one on my team can shoot underwater, I guess I WILL be pretty mad about that.

it’s still stupid that it’s on the battle pass, bad idea and i don’t care about your opinion because it’s wrong
I do too and honestly I would like it if it was like 20 games, not just a few hours but w/e
that said, don’t waste your time in here, people are dead set on hating the game and anything that comes out of it so let them complain, that’s what they do

i knew for a fact that people would be defending this practice
i dont even think the view of “they could be op” matters. this shouldnt be a thing at all, and you shouldnt have to get a hero from a battle pass. im struggling to understand how this game could ever be as good as OW1 was if the excitement of a new hero is always going to be met with grinding games. fomo is a terrible thing
its objectively a worse situation

“Paywall” or “pay to win” or whatever term doesn’t matter. All of heroes should be available to everyone, always. Anything other than that, is trash.

Regardless of how UNCOUNTERABLE, when the enemy team has more heroes to pick from and more tactics than we do just because they paid, that is an advantage, and that is pay2win by definition.

seriously trying to dismiss legitimate criticism as people just wanting to complain?

Then a lot of games more popular than Overwatch are trash. At that point I begin to wonder if you calling the game trash matters.

So Tank player and DPS players get their hero for free no BP grinding. But the role who needs a new hero one of if not the least played roles in the entire game has to either pay for instant access to said character. Or get her for free by grinding out playing the game. See the issue yet? Tank and DPS players got to play their new character in beta. Support the most we got was a rework to our passive and a Zen kick.
Now that we are getting a new hero in our part of the roster we have to either pay for her early. Or grind who knows how much game time to even be able to play the new support. Wow much to be excited about…
Let me put it this way, is it better if the game has locked heroes or unlocked heroes?
what is it to you? direct your complains to where it matters, I can’t do anything about your concerns, I don’t care about your so called criticism
Look at the current OWL meta…yea I wouldnt put it past them
