There was a much easier way to earn f2p coins? Like in 2 weeks or less you can afford A legendary skin?
At 2 weeks or less, you would be able to buy like every single skin that comes out. So that’s not reasonable, but I’d be happy with like 150 coins a week instead of 60.
A BP every week?
There’s no way they lose money on that.
I think they need to add vouchers we can earn from challenges or whatever. Good for one legendary, put it on a monthly maybe?
absolutely!
if i could reliably farm 10-15€ worth of coins during the event and then pay the rest in cash, i might consider it. but without that option, it just isnt feasible.
I will continue to advocate for hero levels which work just like the battlepass (but free) to let players earn most if not all the non-event items for said hero. Along with a title for completing the hero specific battle pass like “Lucio Main” or “Bastion Main” for those who already have the non-event items unlocked for said hero.
No. No skin is worth more than a dollar or two.

Of course. Give 1-2 coins for completed matches. Put coin drops in BP along the way. These are some ways that will help alleviate it a little bit as well as reduce leavers.
$20 skins should at minimum do something like Hanzo’s wolf skin. Change the dragons to wolves and change his voiceline
Genji’s mythic skin should also be $20
They should have just let us be able to grind legacy coins for basic stuff like emotes, highlight intros, etc.
Players would not be able to use the legacy coins to get BP’s so they’re fine there.
I’ve never cared about skins being paywalled (cause you can still get some stuff from BP), but to pay for a season and still get 100% paywalled because you get starvation level coins for grinding in their game is bad.
Honestly how do we pay and get paywalled from choosing minor content? The BP isn’t even worth it when you get no choice after the fact for small things.
This and broken tanks is why I went to other games. You pay and still grind 3 months for 1 emote.

150 is still pretty lowball, especially consider that would, presumably, be the value you get by doing every challenge. 200 is where reasonable begins as it is 10 weeks average. We are talking around 2 months of nonstop challenges to buy one skin. Little less for the individual, little more for the bundle. And at that number, you would not be close enough to buy a featured event bundle during said event. That is low end reasonable as far as I am concerned.

I said I was happy with 150, as that’s enough to get bpass each time. With a little bit of headroom to miss some challenges. Or just do 8-10 challenges instead of 11 a week. But yes, to spend those coins of a legendary would still take long.

It’s like 1680 coins for a reasonable gamer. The 10 coins for 11/11 weeklies is unreasonable. They want you to do like 65k healing and then swap to tank and mitigate like 60k damage but you’re a dps main or support player only?
I only ever went for 8/11. Not gonna make OW a full time job for like no coins.
They make it intentionally harder for even less coins, it’s a sadistic system.
yes absolutely when it’s easy to obtain it means they value us, our time and presence not just our money
There is pretty much no reason to go out of your way for challenges these days. Doing them all season long is 5 bucks. So far I’ve got them all done, but idc if I miss some.
At least the few coins are front loaded. Instead of the last reward being 30.

Yeah just saying that I hope your 150 a week coin wish would be in the reasonable front end of the challenges.
Still hard to go back after I’m on Apex now. Takes 3-4 days to grind content with no BP.
I’m not looking forward to grinding something once a week or two in OW even if they get more reasonable.
150 coins is still a full month for 1 emote.
20 dolars would be ok if the skins were actually worth 20 dollars, look at league of legends skins
I think the prices matter less than generating some goodwill like giving more coins as reward.
Well, at 150 I’d expect it to be the same as now. So like half the coins for 4 challenges, 1/3 the coins for 8, and 1/6 for 11. Just like now. I do hope at some point they do something to either increase the currency we get; or make a free one along side the paid premium one.
i really cant justify 20 bucks for any skin really…im trying to think of what id pay 20 bucks for and personally if i was desperate and i mean DESPERATE here then it would have to be a mythic skin for sure, no other way, with WAY more customizability options and come with like 1000 coins to use in shop, have 2 a banners, 2 weapon charms, a title, voice lines, etc and you get a half off virtual coupon for the shop too.
otherwise? no. nothing.
At $20 they need to be something really special. Like the old unique OWL skins or a mythic customizable skin.
A basic legendary skin shouldn’t cost more than $10.
Also, the amount of coin they give to players needs to increase substantially. I don’t think many people would be complaining as much about the store if you earned coins in the hundreds each week.
Lastly, let people buy specific parts of a bundle.
