not a single thing from OW's loot boxes effects gameplay. Zero...

If it ruins gaming for you because the guy next to you has a prettier looking Mercy in a game, I think there is some issues going on.

They still suck, you paid 60 dolars for a game with a free to play system, you want that great skin for your favourite character? SUCKS TO BE YOU, you can spend a month farming and still didnt get it, a skin for a character thats in the game that you paid 60 dolars but cant get. Unlews you whale it up and spend big bucks to raise the probability of getting it. 

Its not THAT bad but its still bad. And you give a hand to these publishers and they want your arm, and here we are with endings behind this shit system of loot boxes in 2017, imagine what they will do in 2019 if no one cares.

Just a note here, if you want a specific skin, you can purchase it with the in-game currency thus removing the gambling aspect. The truly dickish move they did do however was making so the timed event skin weren't purchasable with that currency for the first event. Luckily, they listened to the negative feedback and since then event skins can be purchased with in game gold.
