Actually no.
The EU put in place laws against loot boxes 'n all that.
So they changed it up.

The old system was far better.
Free loot every couple games.
Dupes? Money.
Can you buy money? Basically yes too. From dupes.

It was very free to play friendly.

But it did have that gambling side for people who whaled to get exactly what they wanted.

Earn lootboxes for free or pay 20€ for an legendary skin.... What are you talking about

You rather sit there and open every single lootbox that you hoarded (or not) and pray that you get that ONE skin that you really want out of so many? Rather than being able to get exactly what you want with no randomness? Also, battle pass gives currency. So you are still "earning" something but in another form. Plus, you can choose. This system might not be good either, but you are crazy if you think loot boxes were a healthy thing for the game.

Every duplicate gave you coins and you can use those coins to buy ANYTHING you want, including the skin you actually want. it was all free, easy to obtain, and you didn't need to spend a dime. Plus you also got 4 rewards, not just one. Don't shill for such greedy business practices. I didn't have to spend a time in overwatch and I have plentiful of legendary skins.

Genuine question, how should Blizzard make money if they don't monetize skins? Like, actually turn a profit

Simple, make the community work for them like Valve does (i.e hats, taunts, and maps) and then give their cut.

Skins should be sold on marketplace and tradable btw
(Dedicated servers and Workshop support must have also)

Absolutely no one was complaining about loot boxes in overwatch 1 sense you could open a loot box and gain coin that can be used to unlock skins or anything you wanted. They took that system completely out and replaced it with a battle pass so wtf are you even talking about?

Biggest lie in the universe...
Overwatch 1: Earn lootboxes (for free) while playing the game. Don't got the skin you like? No problem you get coins for duplicates.
Overwatch 2: Pay the price of a AAA game to get a Skin pack...

You obviously never played OW1, 'cause if you did, you'd know that every level earned by playing gave you one lootbox. you had the option to buy more, but you always earned a lootbox for free per level. Not to mention, 5 more doing the weekly challenges. Each lootbox gave you 4 items, which means in total of 20+ items in a week just by playing.

Yup you know lol

Christ on a stick... both are equally terrible regardless if they're free or not. Get rid of these trends from the face of the earth is the only right way.

Yeah but game was b2p. Now its free. Who cares about cosmetics? I thought gameplay is more important than skins

Who hated them? Stop being dumb, I loved them, plenty of games still have a lootbox system today and I never saw anyone complaining about them XD Especially when you can get them for free!
TF2 even has a somewhat similar system, while you play, you are rewarded with random items, and I don't remember anyone saying they should stop receiving rewards for playing.
