I will admit I have no idea if this is a me issue, since I have friends who agree with me and who don’t
But most games (without completing challenges) reward like 800xp, even with group boosts and stuff
For people who can’t play 24/7 and wanna complete the battlepass, this is honestly horrible. I remember I used to level up three or four times a day in OW1 but now I level up once or twice in a day or two if i’m lucky
Admittedly, I don’t and can’t play as much as I used to, but I try to put hours aside and it just feels so unrewarding

First game: 7600 exp
second game: 830 exp
third game: 1200 exp
fourth game: 170 exp
Ok Overwatch, thanks.
That said, the entire exp system is unrewarding and boring in OW2.
They should re-introduce account levels, and seperate that and battle-pass lvls.
Battle-passes should be made to release every season, but afterwards, all prior battle-passes should be available in the shop, to be progressed at your own pace. With a new BP every season, people who are brainwashed into FOMO and addicted to capitalist-driven progression by Bobby can keep being a rat in his maze, while people who don’t want the 5th Genji Mythic skin don’t feel forced to buy the battlepass, but instead can buy an old one and progress that BP.
You can buy 3 battlepasses, and switch between which one you want to level at any time, keeping progress on all battle-passes (but starting from lvl1 when starting a new one).
I’m sorry, I have the best ideas, it wont lose Blizz money, and be good for the customer.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Account levels still exist. They’re just invisible. You still get achievements for hitting level 20 or whatever but don’t see your level.
Uh… really?
You don’t think these are now tied to 1-time “reach lvl 20” and trigger upon reaching 20 in the first battlepass you lvl up?
I am like lvl 800 or something so I don’t get any more achievements I don’t think so I don’t know.
And I also know that the account lvls were view-able at the start of OW2 launch and were later removed (alongside OW1 stats/comp history).
I have some old accounts that played during free weekends. I logged into those for OW2 and even though my battle pass was around level 4 I got an achievement for hitting level 10 or 20 or something after playing a few games. Whatever OW1 had.
They just copied / pasted the first game LOL.

I think it just feels like that. We needed 20k xp per level in OW1 and we got ~3k xp per match, so you basically had to play 6 or 7 matches for one level. In order to get to level 80 on the BP in the 2.5 months we’re given, that’s still all you need to play.
You did say you’re playing less, but you MUST be playing A LOT less than you used to because the match times haven’t changed. You used to play 18-24 matches per day if you were leveling up three or four times. If you were still playing that many matches per day, your pass would be complete. I only play 5-10 matches per day. I reached level 80 yesterday.
Assuming that a person who does not have time the battle pass does not buy it … it is not that the daily challenges are something more impossible. I mean, sometimes and literally stopping to read that among the conditions for just 1000 xp is “say hello” or “complete 3 games” (without necessarily winning).
However, I can say that if you want to go up to the battle pass, precisely because you read what you need to do every day or week (but even if you don’t play it every day but only once every weekend)… you reach level 80 even after “almost” more than mid-season.
Of course, if your goal is to reach 200 levels (for some writing on the profile?.. ok) well, it’s certainly not the end of the world to prove that you have played less than the others. different instead the discourse of coins too few despite the too many weekly tasks.

It makes sense, the on fire system is also still there, just invisible.
Blizzard cannot even remove content properly. Smdh.

While grouped and with bpass 20%, I get around 1k average per game. Sometimes more when winning and a longer game, other times a quick stomp loss is like 500. But on average, I’d say it’s around 1k per game.
sadly i’m only about level 42 right now, and i’m trying my hardest to get to 80. i don’t play consistently but when i do i try to stay on four 4-6 hours?
i’d like to play longer and i do when i have time, i just didn’t expect it to be this slow progress honestly
If you log in every day just to do the dailies, then immediately log off, the weeklies should still mostly complete themselves, except for maybe a couple of really annoying ones. For that you could take just 1 day per week to finish them off (if necessary).
Let’s make the math simple with round numbers:
You should get about 10,000 xp for the dailies (3k each plus another 1k just for playing)
You should get about 50,000 xp for the weeklies (assuming you finish 10 out of 11)
That’s 120k xp, or 12 levels per week. Seasons are exactly 9 weeks, so you will finsh the BP during week 7. If you kept this same rate of play, you will still get through a few prestige tiers (50k xp each).
By this math, if you played only 4 days per week (still setting aside time to complete 10 weeklies), you’d still just complete the 80 levels of the BP. And all of this is still without the premium BP bonus to XP.
I think you just need to look at your weekly progress, and set aside 1 day where you power thru the weeklies. If all your dailies are done and you are not working towards weeklies, log off and take a rest!
EDIT: to support your point, the BP does favor those who play less hrs more often. You can play 20 hrs exclusively on the weekend and not get as much XP as someone who played 2 hrs per day throughout the week, because they are scoring all the daily XP and the weeklies are filling up on their own.
