IMPORTANT ISSUE: Microsoft Rewards Coins and Overwatch League Token drops not updating on Steam.

[matt]

Recently, I've noticed an issue with the Steam client of the game, in which you will not receive OWL token drops or Microsoft Rewards coins from the redeemable coin codes on the Steam client of the game. You HAVE to log into the game on Battle.net to get these rewards. I posted about this on r/CompetitiveOverwatch here, and you can see that other people had the same issue, and fixed it by opening on Battle.net. This is a big issue because many people want to fully migrate to Steam (me included), but also use these things because they are free rewards. Nobody wants two copies of the game because that just takes up space. This needs to be fixed soon, but knowing Blizz, it's gonna be months. If you want to support some posts on the Blizzard Overwatch forums, here are a couple.

Yes, can confirm that claiming League Tokens is broken on Steam. I was at 30 League Tokens. I watched yesterday's OWL stream live. A day passed, no change. Then I booted up OW2 on Battle.net. Boom, instantly at 80 League Tokens. Checked Steam. 70 League Tokens. Huh, mismatch. Checked Battle.net again. 70 League Tokens. Good guy, Blizzard. LOL!
