Weapon Skins are way too hard to get now

I will never understand why they removed the end of season rewards.

They rewarded you for whatever rank you got and contributed a ton to getting a weapon skin, and now it’s way too slow, to a painful extent.

Playing 30 games should give you 300 CP, not 100 CP. 100 is way too low for 30 games.

if you’re earning comp points via 30 game losing streaks, then yea, gonna take a long time to earn gold or jade.

Assuming a 50% winrate, that’d actually be 750 points. 15 wins is 150 on its own, then it’ll get 45 from the progress bar. Add the 15 losses and you get 60, which is 6 levels. Each level is 100 points.

150+100(6) or 150+600. 750.

Very simple. If you are high rank you you get a free weapon every season without having to do anything and spend the rest of the time smurfing on alt accounts.

However with how bad the weapons are, it is not even worth grinding.

For real, then unlock the gold weapon for your one-trick after one season, rinse and repeat

I had the gold weapons for all heroes in OW1.

Yea I usually got one per season just doing placements and maybe a few ranked matches. It was too easy to get if you were masters+. Then I realized how lame they were and forgot about comp points entirely.

The grind is really sluggish.
I don’t really like grinding comp because of my connection quality and some migraine problems, yet the skins require a substantial time commitment.

I’d be more reasonable to put up with if every loss didn’t feel like a colossal waste of time, but even the points per win is just too slow.

lmao they are not hard to get lol

Yeah, I don’t even care anymore. Even gold weapons aren’t worth the grind, let alone the ugly green ones

They’re annoying to grind for if you don’t like comp. I know I don’t, but of course I wanted the green mercy weapon and ended up willing to suffer for it. Knowing I have to play about 50 hours of comp to get each new one has me dreading the announcement of the next one. If there were still end of season rewards I could have played maybe 30 hours of comp this season and then had enough at the end of season once I got the extra rewards. It’s absurdly grindy and not only did they remove end of season rewards, they nerfed the amount of comp points you gain per win (yes, that’s including the extra from the progress bar.)

I’d love to see them either return the end of season points but maybe make them require a bit more games played to unlock them, or just increase the rewards for winning and or reaching the progress bar.

Because it’s a F2P game, you’re not supposed to be rewarded with anything for free.
