What are you expecting out of the battle pass?
and what are you hoping they put in it, and how they manage it?
im not hoping for much, just something more attractive than their lootbox model (like unique cosmetics at the end of the pass) or maybe even those “mythic” skins they were teasing. otherwise i probably wouldn’t care to buy it
i wonder what kinda stuff they have that which hasn’t been teased yet
Just recolors and charms. Maybe a “good” skin at the very last tier for a hero I don’t even play.

Its like a lootbox i dont have to open, unless i have to click claim on the icon, then f it
I EXPECT it will be a track full of what used to be the blues and whites in the old lootboxes: Sprays , icons, voicelines, with the majority of the milestone points being rare/epic skins and the “free” part will be mostly the icons, charms and voice lines with perhaps one epic skin at the very middle and end for free but legendaries for the “paid” people. Progressed by very grindy achievements like kill so many people on these maps or play 20 games of KoTH, play tank/support 15 times for a full game. All of this limited to be completed by the end of the season when the legendaries and epics in the track are put away either indefinitely or till a much later date.
That’s what I expect.
What I HOPE is that the quality of the free track is more than trash and the battlepass itself has no time limit once unlocked. And heaven forfend let there be points you get along with it that let you work towards unlocking whatever skin you really want.

Probably a zillion sprays that I will never care about and one skin that I might like, but not enough to fork out the cash for. Until I get details, I’ll keep my expectations low, low, low.
What they said we’d get. 30+ new skins, Mythic skin, new hero, new map.

I would compare it Fortnites BP that has a ton of stuff in it for the price. So 100 levels with 10 legy skins that come with a theme, sprays, emotes, highlight inrtos, player cards, weapon charms and some currency for the next BP or shop skins if you want.
Oh, and the pass should be easy to complete, so at max 10-20 hours playtime in the 2 months (or 9 weeks). Maybe at the end a double pass XP weekend for people want to grind the pass in a week time.
Mythic will be a shop skin and most of the new skins are also in the shop to 100%.
That is hard. 10 bucks every 9 weeks or 2 months is that much?
4-5 legendaries assuming the Mythic won’t be in it, 2-3 if it somehow is. Possibly/hopefully with a recolor set in later levels.
Then probably a few emotes and/or a highlight, 1-2 epics, a weapon charm, and a typical event amount of sprays and voice-lines.
I’m expecting a lot of people rolling around one the floor kicking their feet and gnashing their teeth screaming “FOMO FOMO I CAN’T HAZ IT ALL”…
Two levels of passes, one for the general audience that’s free with simpler tier one cosmetics, then premium with the stuff you actually want, including icons,sprays, charms, emote/voice lines and skins of course along with some level of v-currency.
IKR - the same people telling me kids cannot afford $30 skins or worse, they might become cosmetic whale junkies on $49.99 skins can’t handle a $13.99 Battle-pass. Exploitative you know?
I’m expecting what used to show up in a typical event: 4 or 5 legendary skins, 2 to 5 epic skins, maybe a recolor or two, a few emotes, a few win poses, a few highlight intros, a dozen new voicelines, a dozen new sprays, a few new icons, and some new stuff. Things like gun charms, gun skins, and game currency.
It will kind of like paying for a seasonal event, except you can get everything in the event if you play long enough.
I want a battle pass that allows for healthy gaming habits instead of pushing habituation techniques and trying to hold purchases hostage behind a grind wall. If there is an item at the end of the BP I want, i should be able to work on it at my own pace and on my own schedule, not a schedule dictated by the game.
lots of filler (sprays, portrait icons)
legendary at the end
mythic skin in the store for purchase with overwatch2bucks (which are purchased with real bucks)
I honestly thought the mythic skins would be included in the battle pass, it seems blizzard has different goals. They want to sell battlepasses and separately sell mythic skins for 45$. Talk about a scam
Since they are feeling out high pricing I am expecting a lot of grind and I may only play Ow 2 until Oct 7th when Midnight Suns drop that’s all I am playing until Gotham Knights drops.
i heard they promised 30 skins… thats 0.88 skins per character… sounds like most OTP players will recieve only 1 skin from first season =_=
This:
I expect a grab-bag of recolor skins and sprays and maybe voices for the entire roster of heroes that I never play. Most of it won’t appeal to me, but one or two items might, and something great at the end would have to justify the cost of the pass. They have the money to positively impress people with what they can do, but with current state of gaming I expect the opposite.
Yes. It’s just cosmetic plus you can’t admire the skin that much because it’s first person.
Also it’s $90/$60 a year - that can buy you brand new AAA game. Also it’s not worth it to support blizzards dirty tactics = all their controversies (toxic environment, pay to win model in Diablo, lack of transparency…)
Hopefully Microsoft punches some sense back into them.
