Like, they’re just gonna ruin golden guns and turn them into something you can simply pay for.
I feel like we invested a lot of time into this game, simply to watch something that was supposed to be special get turned into another meaningless cosmetic.
And yeah, i know that “golden guns don’t mean anything”, but at least you had to make an effort in order to get them, now people who never even played competitive in their entire lifes are just gonna pay some random amount and get them instantly.
Plus, i really think that those emerald weapons look bad, and i can hardly see them matching well with most skins.
What do you mean by “pay for”?
I thought the idea was to just implement more Rank rewards, not make them P2have or something.
as far i know you still have to buy them with currency…but i do believe theyre being retired…only purchaseable with previous currency (theyre adding a new one going forward)
i dont believe theyve said if older currency will still be obtainable
Having people who do not want to play competitive mode farming comp just for cosmetics is even worse.
Your rank and your self-fulfillment is your reward in comp, not cosmetics. At least this my point of view on that.
Personally I hate comp mode, I like to play games for chill and fun, don’t wanna stress myself or anyone else. Its nothing more than ego game in most cases. But I am “forced” now to farm those stupid competitive points because there is no other way to get my Tracer very good looking golden gun.
Even worse I am not playing class or hero I want (Tracer) because of queue times and report system - don’t want to get reported by ppl who blame dps for everything and get my account banned.
So I farm healer role which I don’t like and just spam games with 40-45% win ratio counting hours when this chore will end.
I would happily bought this points (for 1-5$, not 20+) instead of wasting my time, energy and indirectly screw games by playing role I do not enjoy, don’t care about and don’t wanna put effort into learning.
So there are two sides of this.
Same case for emerald weapons so I hope those points will be buyable for a reasonable price

pretty sure they never mentioned anything about emerald and other competitive reward being purchasable with money. You will still have to grind competitive play for it
its WIP, plus emerald isnt the only option, they will add more every year
Emerald guns won’t do anything. It’s always a bad idea to make comp about cosmetics. But they’re desperate for comp players.

You buy the emerald weapons for competative points so you can’t spend real money to obtain them if that’s what you mean.
I’m not fan either of how they look. I’ve seen BroYouWack in many videos talking about how he wants more competative rewards similar to gold weapons but I have to disagree with him. I think earning a new rank alone is enough of a competative reward and more competative points rewards are not needed.
If it’s something that could be improved on, I think adding more earnable “OW1” credits would be good. I have to give some credit to Blizzard in the last 2 seasons because they have given players more earnable credits which is great and I think they should keep doing it. If they want to improve it even more I think giving players who owns the “premium” BP credits for every level would also be great.
While us OW1 players may have tons of OW1 skins if not all. To give new OW2 players a chance to earn more OW1 skins in a more similar pace would be great. I understand that OW2 is a F2P game so they can’t give everything out for free, but I think unlocking the option to earn credits for every level if you own the premium BP would be a great improvement. Especially since OW2 legendary skins costs 1900 coins (about $18-19).
If not giving OW1 credits, I think giving out OW2 premium coins for every level (if you own the BP) would also be great.
