Overwatch 2 just isn't good. The original Overwatch was better, and even then, I'd rather play Paladins.

I preordered OW1. Probably put in over 1,000 hours in it. It was alright.

I preordered OW2. On the original promise of the PvE mode. Instead of getting what we were promised, we got:
- Watered down PvE mode that didn't even launch with the game
- No free way to unlock skins
- Skins from OW1 you didn't get are now locked behind expensive purchases
- A very grindy and unfun battlepass, that doesn't even last long (~63 days instead of the usual ~90)
- Current heroes locked to current battlepass
- Unneeded changes
- Broken promises

This game just really wants your money, and they don't hide it.

In that case, I reworded that part of the review.

Nah, it's been a thing since the game came out- they just don't really advertise it all that well

That must have been a new change then.

so while i agree that OW2 is a bad game, you can unlock any character by completing their challenges iirc

Yep. New OW2 heroes are battlepass locked.
