You get nothing after maxing out battle pass at level 200

We don’t actually know, but the guy in the video theorized that it has something to do with Blizzard maybe gifting him a battlepass because he’s a content creator/streamer while he’d already bought it on his own. Or maybe it was something intended that they removed.

The guy is level 185 in the battlepass and it already has that message, so it doesn’t make sense if he’s not even finished the battlepass yet. Why would there be banked levels if he’s not finished it yet? Wouldn’t the levels just go into his existing pass?

Either way, plenty of people are passed 200 by now. If it were true, we’d have seen more evidence of it.

Hi, I got 200 just by playing and am not a liar, because what godforsaken benefit would it bring me?

I just have a lot of free time and comorbid depression and insomnia.

…oh and the double XP weekends helped.

Do you have a source for this?

I can confirm by JUST PLAYING you can EASILY finish the battlepass lvl 200. I do my dailies, and weeklies are mostly done by friday. Double XP weekends helped too. Now I am level 211 at the moment.

You can get to 200 by just playing.

I even made a spreadsheet for it:

I dont think anyone is arguing that getting to 200 is impossible at this point, but, with all due respect, if someone needs that spreadsheet then it probably goes beyond what many people would consider “just playing” and go well into what many consider grinding. Especially people who have games/activities other than OW that they enjoy.

I was around 85-90 a few weeks ago on the free pass and I could make it to 200, but I wouldnt enjoy the process. I hated grinding weeklies and to a lesser extent dailies. I ended up playing in ways I didnt want to or for longer than I wanted to.

I stopped playing over a week ago due to just being too sick to play and honestly I’ve enjoyed my time away from OW2. I’ll still play again eventually, but not to the point I’m not enjoying the game anymore.

So for me 200 is off the table.

This feels awful. I looked it up to find out what I might get, even if it’s not a paid battle pass and nothing? A seasonal title? It feels really bad to play OW when you know you could be accomplishing something that will reap rewards forever in another game.

Dude thinks laughing at other people is cool. Grow up

Streamers, sure, but anyone claiming to be “playing casually” is lying.

You do get an embarrassing title though

bc OW is a “playable advertisement”.
get it now.

Nope. I’m a casual player as I work for the railroad and don’t have time to grind any games. I just hit 202 today. It’s very doable as long as you just do your daily/weekly tasks and take advantage of double XP weekends like right now.(currently Sat. 26th).

Also most of the people i play with are all above 140 and majority of them are fathers with jobs.

BP level 202 is 2,020,000 xp.

You get 55,000 from every weekly challenge and 63,000 for a week of dailies for 118,000 xp per week, which assumes that you diligently ground out every last daily and weekly.

It’s been 53 days since the start of the season, which is ~7.5 weeks, but let’s round up to 8 (which includes 3 days of dailies you don’t have access to yet).

8 x 118,000 xp = 944,000 xp, which leaves 1,026,000 xp to reach 202.

1,026,000 / 2,000 xp per game (which not every game will even award you unless you grind nothing but comp) is 513 games.

513 games / 53 days = ~10 games per day, minimum, to hit 202 by this point.

Given it’s somewhere between 10-15 mins per an average match of OW2, not including queue times and assuming you only ever queue as a support for faster queues, that’s still 100-150 mins per night.

That’s not a casual player, especially because this is the low, LOW ball estimate, given that doing every weekly challenge will force you play arcade games which award less xp and roles that will give you longer queues. Then there’s games that end prematurely due to leavers, cheaters that get banned mid match, etc.

Bottom line, OW isn’t a very efficient game to play, even when you play perfectly and win every match.

I would LOVE to have the kind of free time that allowed me 10 games of OW per night, but I was lucky to get in 4 with the hour or so of playtime I had.

Can confirm, you get nothing. No extra levels if you are past 200. What a fricken waste. I didn’t buy any levels but if I had, I would be upset even more because now there is really no reason to jump-start to a higher level if you lose anything past 200.

I’ve never spent a penny on Overwatch since buying Overwatch 1 on my last account (before switching consoles). I’ve been consistently getting to around 180-200 on the seasons but this season I’ve been off work on vacation and there’s been smoke from the wildfire outside making my time out there short, so I’m sitting at 208 with 6 days left in the season.

It’s telling of blizzards profit-focused ethos that they just cut it off at 200. Giving currency every level or a random legacy skin you don’t own every 10 levels after would do so much more to keep people playing. What do I have to strive for now? You’ve removed loot boxes, and capped off BP… no thanks.

Assuming OW is one of the few (or only) multiplayer games you play… it’s damn near effortless to get to 80 by mid-season considering the premium pass gives you +20% exp gain.

And from there, 200 comes a lot quicker than you’d think if you’re completing your challenges. Personally, I don’t even bother to look at the challenges, but still somehow complete 2 or 3 at a time some rounds and it gives me crazy exp earnings.

There has only been one season where I didn’t hit BP tier 200, and for the ones that I did, it’s not as if I made it my singular goal and obsessed over making it happen, I just played the game with friends and it kind of snuck up on me.

does kind of suck. i’m a bit past 200 now but dont have a clue since i never really stick around after a match to check but yea we get nothing lol
