Paid loot boxes removed from Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm in Belgium

TF2 also has both the steam market and a huge player trading economy in it. The lootboxes may be worst than OW but at least there's ways to get the skins guaranteed in TF2 without having to spend a dime/spending very little compared to constantly buying keys hoping for the cosmetic you want. OW doesn't have a trading system and the currency you get in game can only let you buy so much so it's a lot harder and much more rng based to try and get that one skin you want.

Tell me about this precious currency, all means to grin which were nerfed because "community" (aka lootbox whales and overplayers) were unhappy about missing that random spray/voiceline back then when event items werent event purchaseable, and demanded to tune down dublicate drop chances from Blizzard.

Ah ok. I've never played Overwatch so I thought it was like CS:GO or TF2

[Fulgrim]

To be honest, that just tells me the game's reward system was completely undermined by the micro transactions.

If removing the Micro transactions turns the game into a grinding slog that doesn't adequately reward the player- then the chances are that was already the case for a vast majority of people unwilling to fork over additional cash.

The more I'm reading these replies, the more I'm wondering if in some AB testing group

My legendary drop rate really isn't that low, and it's much higher than usual when events are happening. I've opened boxes with more than one legendary item in them about 5 times, and two of them had 3.

To my understanding Overwatch is an fps and you buy skins for your playermodel that you can't see during gameplay?

How fucking stupid are modern fps gamers or am I wrong about something?

[Elstumpo]

Read through this thread and just wanna say I've ditched the argument I was making.

[Tuskin]

You'll see it during replays, and other people can see it, so you can show off.

[StrawberryClock]

Congratulations, you're a statistical anomaly.

[ASparkle]

Also if you have view models enabled (something I don't think you can disable since Actibliz hates community choice) you'll see part of it since the arms and gun are visible.

Meh, I like the HOTS system. Free to play, can get everything through grind OR currency directly.

[Dark Raven]

I like DOTA 2 System. Everything is unlocked and not a single thing that is remotely associated with direct gameplay performance (which TBF cannot be said the same about TF2, the pioneer of the system) is behind a paywall.

[Aurora Valis]

I like the [random game without anti-consumer practices] system.

Do you understand why loot boxes (in and outside OW) is bad in the firstplace because "I get good stuff so I don't mind" is a bad excuse for defending them
