How Blizzard ruined gaming, now every game has lootboxes

• Ana
• Sombra
• Orisa
• Doomfist

Overwatch launched a year and a half ago. 4 Characters. Yay. -.-
How many Billions have they made since release? ;)

You know nothing Jon Snow, here's the content that's been added to Overwatch since launch:

Maps

• Eichenwalde
• Oasis
• Horizon Lunar Colony
• Junker Town
• Ecopoint: Antartica
• Necropolis
• Castillo
• Black Forest
• Château Guillard

Allot of these are smaller 3v3 maps and not used in normal map circulation.
And it could have been argued that these should have been included on release anyway as the map selection overall wasn't exactly super fleshed out.

Modes

• 1 v 1 duels
• 3 v 3 elimination
• Random heroes 6 v 6
• Lucio Ball (Summer games event)
• Junkenstein's revenge PvE (Halloween event)
• Mei's Snowball Offensive (Winter event)
• Capture the flag (Chinese New Year event)
• Uprising PvE (Uprising event)
• Lockout elimination
• Limited duels
• Deathmatch (8v8 and team)
• Game browser (which allows for infinite types of games)

Allot of these are only temporary once-off events rather than content that is always freely available, it does help shake things up a little.
Also works as free advertising as all the gaming news outlets tend to report on every single fart that occurs in Overwatch... More gamers they bring into the fold, more loot boxes they can sell.
