Overwatch Battle Pass Should Start with the Mythic Skin
Ode to Overwatch: Overwatch Battle Pass Should Upgrade Mythic Skin As You Progress
The OW-team has to justify the instant purchase price of the battle pass. Games like Destiny 2 give you the Exotic weapon instantly, but since OW is following a strict cosmetic route, there’s an interesting comparison to Mythic Skins I want to point out.
I know Fortnite also has animated, customizable skins too, and it seems OW has mainly copy-pasted the Fortnite system.
One of the coolest battles passes I’ve seen is CD Project Red’ Gwent’s (The Witcher Card Game), which literally gives you Geralt, Ciri, Yen, and Triss as a skin for their respective Batte Pass, and as you progress through the battle pass, you unlock customizable parts for it. It can be the face, shirt, leggings, trinkets, and environment.
I think this is one of the coolest and most generous variations of a Battle Pass I’ve seen in recent times, where you get the fundamental draw of the batte pass right from the start, and some of the best variations/skins related to it are at the end. So this way you get the best of your money and time. And it even has its own Free Tier (opposed to Fornite/OW where it’s all one row, mixing free and premium) with some pretty good rewards…
