Tell me what this improves, makes better, or nets Blizzard more money? Legit whats the benefit other than just being annoying and restrictive for little to no reason.
probably so you know how much coin you made in a year? but yeah, useless and this is the only thing i can come up with to as of why it’s a thing.
FOMO
It legit cant even be FOMO because what does Legacy points even change? You couldnt store more than like 2 skins before on previous seasons because of the point limit, and adding the legacy coins doesnt change anything, you STILL have to play ranked in order to get points.
Its actually just a random useless gate that does NOTHING positive for anyone. It doesnt drive more hours into comp, it doesnt give Blizzard any way to get more money, it serves no positive benefit for any party
you can use them with your current points though 
say you have 1500 of both you can buy a weapon (at least i managed to do so)
It’s so you can’t save up and buy a bunch of new weapons at once when a new batch drops. They think you’ll play more to earn points for the new weapon.
Except this doesnt even make sense because with the old systems limits you couldnt store up more than 2 guns. If they think theyve done good by making sure people cant get 2 guns right off the bat theyre delusional. Its not like comp mains bought out the entire stock day one
A lot of people only care to get the weapon for their favorite hero. This way, they have to play to get it. All I know is that they wouldn’t have implemented the system if it didn’t drive engagement.

The thing is Im doubting its even driving any additional engagement, chances are they just dont care enough to remove it.
Wanna know why I think its not driving any engagement? Because end of season retention was/is so bad that they still implemented the competitive drives!
im imagining it creates a type of need for scarcity, gets people to play more, if they plan to add more and more weapon skins into the game, having people grind up 15k points then buying the new ones instantly when they drop wouldnt get them to play more, but resetting them would force them to play more before they get them
its bad but im imagining thats how it is
