I wanted to post some additional points when it comes to overwatch 2:

"If the season features a new hero, they will be earnable through the free Battle Pass track."
"Season One’s Premium Track provides instant access to Kiriko for new players, and contains over 60 cosmetics to unlock, including five all-new Legendary skins, one Epic skin, and the all-new Cyber Demon Genji Mythic skin."
"The Premium Battle Pass will cost 1000 Overwatch Coins (equivalent of $10 USD) – those coins can be purchased directly or also earned over time by completing weekly challenges. Watchpoint Pack owners will automatically unlock Season One’s Premium Battle Pass."
"If you miss one of the heroes you can earn them via hero-specific challenges or purchase them in the game's shop for Overwatch Coins."

Overall, this is very shitty

Players have a very simple option, give them the middle finger and play something else.

But we learned a long time ago, with a certain horse armor, that the gaming ecosystem is full of morons that will see this and think "$10 USD isn't really that much". So ... **shrugs**

Pretty much but this explains why they changed the gameplay of Overwatch 2 so drastically. OW2 feels more like individual plays more so than team plays so changing the mechanics the way they did will make it so that having a certain combination of heroes that go well together will have less of an impact. Especially since tanks feel more like dps with more hp than anything in OW2 vs OW1.

But personally, I didn't like such a drastic change. It took away a lot of the uniqueness of OW so we will see how it goes. Least it's F2P and Junker Queen and Sojourn will be unlocked for anyone that logs in before season 1 ends and Kiriko will be unlocked to anyone that owns OW1 as long as you redeem before Season 2 ends. So even if you have little interest, I think everyone should at least log in to redeem them. After that tho... It's gonna get really shitty.
