    @kayjii There's only two things that killed overwatch 1: brig, and then stoping all content and updates. There were numerous bad/unbalanced patches all through it's life cycle, that's not a significant issue for 90% of players. Just keep updating regularly.

  • SlothFruitIII 🚬🐴 (@SlothFruitIII) reported

    @wurmpas Yeah, thats my main problem with overwatch's system rn. It gives 0 coins in the battle pass. Only way to get them without paying is weekly challenges and you can get maximum 60 a week. So to even buy the 10$ battle pass you would need to complete

    How to fix Overwatch 2 - Remove the battle pass. Put loot boxes back in.
