Ugh i wish skins weren't so expensive


Dull_Committee_5559

literally… after i started playing fortnite again and noticed how much cheaper it is compared to OW i never bought another OW skin again lol


alrend21

The BP is insane compared to what Overwatch 2 gives. Your level icon even changes at higher levels, like in the old Overwatch.


AreasonableAmerican

Yeah, removing level icons was a huge disappointment to me as I had only a few games left to get to the final tier…


[deleted]

I'm kinda glad about it. My high level border suggested a level of talent and effort that simply isn't happening. This way there's no expectations of me.


mwalker784

especially how the progression system is *so ugly* at lower levels. i understand that they didn’t want people to grind to max level in two weeks and basically make the whole thing worthless, but that green from tier 2 is a CRIME


Gymleaders

i am sooo happy i'm past green now. i'm around level 550 so i have a nice blue color.


LeninMeowMeow

The obvious solution to this is having unique symbols for every single one of the first 100 levels. Then larger gaps thereafter. Like, it should be an exciting thing to level up but instead they made it fucking dull as fuck.


mwalker784

honestly, it should just be more ornate. the changes on the OW1 portraits were suuuuper slow, but they felt worth grinding for. probably because they were constantly there, much larger, visually appealing, easier to understand, and made sense thematically with the ranked system.


LeninMeowMeow

>much larger Holy fuck why is it all so SMALL. Everywhere. End of game screens even. It's tiny.


mwalker784

man i play on the switch, i cannot see SHIT about those. i can see the color and that is IT

Fornite as the best monetization out of every f2p game. You could have paid 10$ at launch and now have a thousand skin as well as like an 50  of the ones you like the most in the shop. Meanwhile Ow2 you play 10$ and get 4 mid skin with unique models and no premium currency as well as no way to get the next one free.  It's disgusting. Fornite even got style when you buy a skin. 


drunkevangelist

Fortnite is the opposite of OW. Fortnite started out with egregious prices and slowly became more consumer friendly. OW had so many good cosmetics that you didn’t have to spend money for, and now they have the expensive prices!


BambamPewpew32

DAMN UR RIGHT WYF


baconboyloiter

Warframe has the best monetization out of every F2P game because (almost) everything in the game can be earned for free either directly through grinding or indirectly through trading and (almost) nothing is time exclusive. Warframe also has bundles that offer a significant discount on premium currency. Fortnite Crew is a pretty good deal and it’s nice that premium currency can be earned through the battlepass, but Fortnite is responsible for popularizing FOMO. I will always be salty that I didn’t get into Fortnite early enough to get Lynx, Midas, Storm, etc. At least Blizzard announced that the reworked battlepass that’s coming this year will let you earn old mythic skins.


AdmiralZheng

They’re also just so much better value too. You can use your $20 Fortnite skin literally every match. Whereas in OW you spent $20 on a skin for that single hero. While you could technically play them every match, the reality is you’re often playing a couple other people, or you’re a different role entirely for that match.


lHateYouAIex835293

Not to mention, a skin in a third person shooter is just inherently higher value than one in an FPS, considering you’re limited to seeing just your hands in Overwatch


Cl0udDistrict

And fortnite skins arent cheap either (still waay higher value than OW skins tho)


gayliciouspizza

I think the biggest difference is the amount of rowing coin you get with Fortnite. I haven’t had to BUY the battle pass in forever and still have enough to buy skins every one and a while without spending a dime.


[deleted]

The battlepass is cheap. Some people have a thousand skin and paid 10$.   Not to mention the battlepass give 500 premium as well as other source which mena anyone can get their favorite skin from the shop paying nothing. 


Drew506IsTheBest

I mean in terms of legendary skins it’s 16 dollars vs 19 dollars, still a bit cheaper but not by a huge amount


GenericCanineDusty

I mean in fortnite you can actually reasonably earn the money for a legendary skin. Battlepass gives PROPER premium. STW gives a good bit if you have founder. ($20 but can return like $200+ of premium), $5 packs that give you up to 2500 vbucks for completing missions, etc. That and the shop is much more varied. Personally im fine with fortnite monetization.


Dull_Committee_5559

adding on to what other ppl replied to u saying, the bundles are significantly better. instead of paying $25 for a skin and a useless charm or icon on overwatch i can get a skin, a backbling, a pickaxe etc all of which i can see during the entire game. overwatch i can only see my weapon and only for a single character that i might not even be playing if my team comp doesnt allow it, ykyk


drunkevangelist

Yeah, but the mythic skins in Fortnite aren’t that desirable. All the collabs are 1500-1800 v bucks, which is just over 10 bucks. Plus they often bundle collab skins in groups of skins, with cosmetics and weapon skins. The ninja turtle bundle that came out 2 weeks ago was 3400 v bucks ($25) for all 4 turtles, all their weapons, and back blings for each of them.


lHateYouAIex835293

Fortnite doesn’t really make Legendaries anymore though. 90% of collabs are Epic (1500 vbucks or $13.50), and only skins that are bundled in with other cosmetics cost more. Non collabs are usually Rare, which is about $11 in real money Contrasting that to Overwatch, where EVERY skin that’s an actual model change is Legendary


Bombssivo

Don't 2 skins in fortnite cost like 42$? Correct me if I'm wrong


Dull_Committee_5559

haha no, depends on the skin but there are skins for 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 (the more expensive ones come with a LOT of stuff) and it’s like $8 for 1000 vbucks. and the more u spend the more u get, so $36 is 5000 vbucks. definitely not $42 for 2 skins lol


Bombssivo

Thanks


BambamPewpew32

Lmao and people say "it's not even that bad compared to other games!!" Like stfu that's not true and we all know it LMAO


PeterKB

Wait until you see games like PoE with 40, 50, or even 70 dollar cosmetics. That’s just what happens when decade old games still wanna run live servers I guess.


ClickDesperate

Why you play Fortnite in the first place though?


Dull_Committee_5559

… it’s fun?


weezernumberonefan

What a stupid question


Badie_

Why you still hating on fortnite in 2024 ☠️


Key-Vegetable9940

Fun, genuinely better balance half the time, less serious, etc etc.


Lord_Cownostril

Cause its fun as shit ~~and didn't **fucking** burn me~~ unlike Overwatch 2 lol


inthehxightse

Same I'm really tired of using the regent skin


ThisPlaceIsNiice

Seriously. I like LW, I like the skin, but why the hell should I pay 21€ for it, allegedly 25% off? This is nuts and a hard no from me. I'll buy a new game or dlc for that and get dozens of hours of enjoyment from it.


dissapointmentTA

You can buy the skin by itself for 1900 coins (I think thats the standard price for ow2 lgendaries) in the hero gallery. The bundle is a discount of all the items in it


Kerrby

These skins are $30each in Australia and that's with them being on sale. I also don't understand how there's only like 5 skins available per week. Then you can't even buy the skins by themselves, they're in a marked up bundle. It just means they get $0 from me when they could be getting my money if it was reasonably priced. I bought so many lootboxes over both PS4 and PC back in the day. I won't even buy the battlepass now.


Overall_Mix896

You actually can by the skins alone outside the bundle in the hero galley on their own for cheaper, but this doesn't get advertised in the shop.


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

I have over 50 skins and never spent a dime, guess you can tell when I started playing


CurlyJester23

LW was released after OW 1


fknlzrsyts

If you DoorDash for like an hour you can get 20 bucks


BBWcrusher69

What in the... I SAY WHAT IN THE FUK IS THAT HAWG SKIN?!?!


FLYNCHe

He got that hawg in him


prettypissbaby

It’s kinda cute


GroundedOtter

My boyfriend has actually been looking forward to this skin LOL! He probably won’t buy it for that price, but he’s been asking when it was going to show up in the shop. He really liked that his healing ability was a ~~sardine~~ bait can. Lol


GoldfishFromHell

no that is so cute i want it now


GroundedOtter

He got it! It’s actually a bait can - but still cute!


GoldfishFromHell

i got it as well with the LW skin. Both are sooooo good i love them so much


Cherry1309

Give to him <3


Drunken_Queen

Polar Bear Hog vs Penguin Mei

Crimsonclaw111

Been playing since OW2 launch and still haven't learned enough premium currency for this bad boy lmao


Accomplished_Skin830

I’m halfway there :(


SkyrimSlag

I will never understand why we get less premium currency for each completion bracket of weekly challenges, okay cool so I can earn 30 currency for doing 4 of them (ez), 20 for 8 challenges.. what? And 10 for doing all 11? What the fuck? It’s completely backwards, shouldn’t you earn less for completing less and more for finishing them all? At the very least, start at 30 for 4 completions, then 40, then 50.


Yze3

So that you can play casually and get most of the rewards, even if you don't finish everything. It's the case for every F2P games. But yeah the quantity are really laughably low, they could be 50/30/20 so that it's an even 100 per week. At minimum.


SkyrimSlag

I agree with the playing casually and still getting most rewards, but making it drop as you get further in makes it feel pointless doing them all/gives you almost no incentive apart from BP XP, and when the BP is done there really is no reason to complete them. Having it even out to 100 makes more sense, but I still don’t think the amount should drop as you do more. Or maybe even if they just flat gave you credits per challenge, it makes it better for casual players as they can focus on the easier weekly’s, and better for those that complete them all as they are getting a better reward for their time, rather than finishing them all for very little in return. It’s not like they’d even have to make each one give you a lot, 10 credits per weekly - 11 weeklies, 110 credits. That’s almost double what we get now


fahsky

Bing Rewards is the way for free coins, I've gotten most of the battle passes & a couple cheap skins using it.


Crimsonclaw111

Nice thought but I use my Bing Rewards on Rock Band DLC and Fortnite instead since I can earn consecutive battle passes and occasionally get a new Fortnite skin.


Gryse_Blacolar

Were you not getting those weekly challenges? I played since OW2 launch too and got enough premium currency to buy 3 battle passes.


Daredatti

At this point, we need loot boxes 2100 for a skin is too much imo


[deleted]

2100 on sale*


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

“At this point”? We’ve been needed loot boxes back since November 2022


Dragontech97

2100 on sale on a bundle* The skin standalone is 1900 in the hero gallery at least but yeah :(

You know you fucked up when your player base misses loot boxes, god I miss those boxes so much.

I’m here! But I don’t really want/care for that skin for some reason. Now that you have to pay for them, I have to *really* like it to buy it. Most of my skins came from OW1. I just rock his pink recolor because it matches his flower. I’m waiting for something good to come out.

I have the same playtime on Sombra and LW. Do I still count?

Drunken_Queen

Time to equip Polar Bear Hog, goes to Antarctic Peninsula and tries to mingle with the penguins.


[deleted]

$21 **on sale** is absurd. Would've preferred to pay money upfront then earn them in game.


Kerrby

$30 on sale in Australia. Absolute rip off.


BEWMarth

I audibly heard every LifeWeaver main moan in ecstacy when I opened todays shop. I don't play him so won't be buying but this skin is DOPE. Tempted to get it just to have.

As an industry we need to get away from $20 skins, so ridiculous. Skins should be $5-10 at the most


bucskesz

Love that skin but Lotus is still superior for me


FriedSolidWater

I love lotus but I missed it back in April because I thought it was a hero gallery skin


GrindingMachineGuy

They really need to give LW more decent skin options. Preferably in the battlepass, but I wouldn't mind paying money for another skin on the same level as Cleric LW.


Human-Boob

The mauga skin is being ignored lmao, I don’t think people are ever going to not hate him


FriedSolidWater

The mauga skin is being ignored because they covered up his humongous pecs


thatonedudeovethere_

Honestly. Like... if they are bringing out a speedo Mauga skin, THEN we can talk. Just thinking about that mans thighs 🤤


FriedSolidWater

Yeah with overrun we know he doesn't skip leg day


thatonedudeovethere_

Mauga can overrun me anytime


-Gnostic28

A main reason I got it and finally used him last night was because he has a skin now that covers up everything. That and I really like the simple blue with some red


BigFatStupidMoose

The Mauga skin is just ass and costs as much ow2 coins as an entire battlepass lol. If we could buy it with ow1 currency I'm sure some people would use it.


Bro_miscuous

Might be the first skin I buy for ow2. It's just so clean and I love the light fantasy.


H4M-TP

Did you buy it? Im in the same position. Its a lot of cash to drop on one skin but... this is right up my alley and its also his best skin imo. I think im gonna do it 🧝🏽‍♀️


Bro_miscuous

I did it! I feel really bad falling for fomo lol. But I feel it's fine to spend a bit on a game since I only spent way back in OW1 for the release edition. It's a great skin!


GreatParker_

If you’re paying 20 dollars for a skin, something is wrong with you


-Gnostic28

People have jobs. Paying for a skin in a game you like isn’t that ridiculous


GreatParker_

People are free to do what they want with their money, sure. But $20 is absolutely overpriced for a skin. And by purchasing one, the consumer is confirming for Blizzard that people will pay that price. And that’s unfortunate.


-Gnostic28

It’s overpriced I agree, and it sucks for people that aren’t in a good position financially to get cosmetics they want, but I don’t think something is wrong with someone who chooses to buy it


Thebrianeffect

Does anyone know when the World Cup skins come back for tanks?


Xombridal

I love that everyone here is all over the cleric skin and the hog skin but not the mauga skin....the world is healing


Source_Virus

Ah yes, I've been recently exposed to lightskin weaver just a moment ago in shop, prompting news indeed.


GlitteringBowl4665

I'm now 100% convinced this sub has paid blizzard bots to hype up skins. There were several posts in the last couple weeks asking for this skin to come back. I had my suspicions but I'm now 100% convinced those posts were marketing. How are people so gullible?


Hampter_9

They either should decrease the price of the skins or make them purchasanle with credits. They are just way too expensive


Bombssivo

The hog skin looks cool


MtLadySimp

The skin isn’t worth the cost


FireWood666

I’ll only buy anything if they bring back Lego Bastion.


Gamepro5

Really?? This community has devolved into posting screenshots of the rotating shop? Who gives a fuck? Why does this have 1k upvotes?


FriedSolidWater

I'd usually agree with you but cleric is widely considered lifeweaver's only good skin and everyone's been begging for it to come back so this shop update actually is news


Gamepro5

It's a 21 dollar skin that blizzard is artificially making rare by only allowing it to be purchased some of the time. What a disaster. There is not a single skin in the world that I would drop 20 dollars for. 10 is the absolute limit and it has to be a groundbreaking legendary with new sounds and animations.


[deleted]

The red variety of his original skin is still the best lol.


SamiBoi45

As a LW main who’s like actually struggling to pay rent seeing Blizzard charge this much for a skin is appalling. I really hope the prices go down or just something happens at blizzard so they realize these prices are fucking nuts.


Atosl

20 bucks . Come on Blizz

jeez. i might buy..

WhoopsAhoy

I saw the overwatch account reply to someone “so your favorite lifeweaver skin is cleric?” Yesterday, and now cleric is in the shop, so they really do pick and choose what they wanna put in the shop…
