I disagree

Deserves a negative simply because of what has been done. Doesn't matter if the game feels alright or not. You also have to look at it through the eyes of a new player. I stopped playing the game when i got annoyed and missed out on Rammattra, and to unlock him without playing i have to WIN 35 games as all roles or playing tank. That takes absolutely ages. 70 matches of overwatch at a 50% winrate...for one character. Not to mention the pve bullshit which was the whole reason to play the game. I can't even bring myself to play the damn game despite wanting to cuz i don't want to give them my time or money

yeah but if you don’t have time to complete those games (35 or so iirc), they charge 9 whole dollars for the character straight-up. it’s basically like taxing people who play casually if they just wanna play one of the new characters without grinding.
plus, it’s really lame that people can jump into a competitive mode without having the full roster of characters in a game where switching and countering characters is almost more valuable than mechanical skill. if you don’t have the counter, sometimes you just can’t win.

True, but after the battle pass season is finished you can get them by just completing games, right?
Definitely very annoying, but I've already got all the heroes I will ever care about from OW1 so it doesn't affect me too much

the monetization would be easier to ignore if it didn't seep into the core gameplay. because heroes are now part of the battlepass.
