Yes, it is P2W. No, it is not debatable. You pay to get non cosmetic items in a multiplayer PVP game. It’s like paying real money to unlock guns in Counter Strike. There were (maybe still are) P2W CS 1.6 and CSS servers that ask you to pay them real money in order to unlock the AWP and auto sniper.
BACK IN MY DAY Overwatch was a game of skill and RNG depending on what your team does. Now it’s a game of skill, RNG depending on what your team does and paying real money to unlock more heroes.
What do you think about this change? Do you like it? Do you like the idea of buying power for real money to get an advantage over other players? I sure know plenty of mobile players love this particular feeling. Do you like the idea of other people doing the same to you?

It’s funny how they try to justify this decision by sprouting some crap like “look it’s fine cuz counterpicking is no longer needed”. Yeah, you say that while releasing a hero who is a direct counter to Ana’s anti-heal, something players have been wishing for years. Not only that she also counters plethora of other abilities, like Rein’s shatter.
Everyone knows why they put new heroes at tier 55. It’s all about the money. Awful decision in a game in which you basically play rock-paper-scissors with your hero picks.

The irony in calling something on the free tier of a battle pass “P2W” is so precious lmao

If you can’t afford £10 a season then you have serious issues. It’s more a case you can afford it but don’t want to buy it. Also I am nearly BP level 55 already and there are 6 (?) weeks left it goes very quickly.

Maple Story is a huge P2W game, or you can spend longer and forever trying to get it the extremely slow way during events
Just because something is free doesn’t mean it’s not P2W
Either you cube yourself with NX cash, or spend months upon months trying to cube the F2P way, which usually really expensive and then even then it’s massive RNG so you might need a ton of weapons for that
Not able to cube or did… and didn’t get high enough stats on your weapon? lol good luck getting to end game and won’t ever be able to do stuff all the people who spend thousands on cubing do bcs that’s justt how it is

If I can casually spend your monthly allowance on some video game items and make you cry, that’s a W for me.

LOL. It’s per month? What the f? I paid 25 euros in 2016 (just under 25 quid for you) for the Origins edition of Overwatch which included all the current and future heroes for 6 years plus a bunch of skins. Plus it rewarded me with tons of skins by just playing the game.
Talk about bang for your buck. Bye corporate boot licker.

what are you on about, league of legends has and always had champions that you have to pay for by grinding blue essence and it doesn’t make it pay to win. Grow up getting a new character wont make you win games.

League of Legends is p2w. Bad example. I have no idea why you think it’s not p2w. The original DOTA (the mod for Warcraft 3) was not p2w because you couldn’t buy heroes for real money.
I played plenty of LOL 10 years ago with lots of people. Hundreds of hours. The game was fun. But nobody in their right mind said the game is not p2w. We all saw the trend of releasing stupidly broken OP champions then nerfing them soon after release. We made fun of it. It still is p2w.
Okay, Why you poor shaming though? Many people have their reasons to not be rich, and it’s not always about Laziness
could be health issues, age (maybe they’re under 18 and parents said no?), energy prices going up a ton, cost of living rising, Single parent with multiple children and maybe their kids also play so they cannot afford to splash out BP multiple time
just because these don’t affect you, doesn’t mean there aren’t people effected by these issues.
Literally £10 can get you 2 packs of 5% beef, some spaghetti and couple jars of sauce to make Bolognese for 3 days, and u acting like people always have tons of available money to just throw at everything
If you watched UK news people are 100% struggling and it’s also been all over the papers how many people would have struggled to live if they didn’t put a temporary cap on cost of energy prices, and people have already been struggling a bit since energy and food prices going up, it’s getting so bad to the point where we might be having blackouts during the winter for up to 3 hours at a time because the government trying to save energy
People in other european countries have also been struggling too since the cost of petrol/energy etc and CoL going up due to the Ukraine war

Go cry more, it’s not gonna change anything.
Free to play brings more players to the game we play and more money to the company that makes it.
It’s a win for literally everyone aside from the scrubs like you that aren’t likely to contribute anyways.
Pretty good deal if you ask me.
Bye Felicia
Idk man i think you are delusional, p2w would be a game like warthunder where you can only buy certain tanks by paying real money. If you think that league is p2w because newer champions are a bit stronger for 2 weeks and then get nerfed to absolute unusable garbage that my friend is a skill issue.
U are such a whiner over 1 mid hero costing $10 get a job bruh

Its absolutely P2W. If you can pay to unlock the hero earlier than other people, you’ll have more practice and knowledge of that hero.
P2W is ALWAYS bad.
And yes, i have the premium battle pass.
