Pretty much yea. You will keep your skins and all that but you will no longer be able to play the old game. You can only play OW2 which is technically F2P. They might have a custom scenario where it's 6v6 like in arcade but the main game gonna be 5v5. And having played the beta, if they didn't make drastic changes, OW2 is gonna be pretty shitty compared to OW1.

So I technically lose some parts of my game I paid for, but not the entire thing?.

I mean the 5v5 instead of 6v6 irks me, but the locked heroes shit and BP really puts me off wanting to play it. I cannot stand paid for and BP's being in the same mix, it just shouldn't be a thing, NP's should only ever be used for F2P games, and well, Blizz isn't the type of company to do F2P that is legit F2P with no strings attached (as we've seen with Diablo and even heartstone in a few instances in the past, especially with nerfing paid rare cards). 

Yea think of OW2 more like OW1.5. And yea, BP route is pretty lame. Ironically I liked their implementation of lootbox system because I knew they were gonna come up with something shittier. Least with the lootbox system, you would get the gameplay essentials like heroes and such for free + day 1 and only cosmetics are locked behind it. And lootboxes were easy to get and you could unlock specific skins and such if you had enough in-game currency from lootboxes. So if you were patient enough, you could eventually get the skins and such that you wanted assuming you didn't already get it from the lootboxes.

The BP system feels much shittier with needing to grind out to get the hero and obviously certain cosmetic skins and such most likely being completely locked behind a paywall. But my biggest question is what happens if you don't grind it out? I skipped OW1 for like 2-3 years cause I had OW fatigue. If I did that with OW2, am I gonna not be able to access the heroes at all? Personally it just feels shitty.
