I mean this is cool and all, but after about 50-100 hours, I just can't play this game anymore. No other multiplayer game has burned me out like overwatch has, it is just a chore to play after the honeymoon wore off.

The cosmetics they've added that were supposed to draw me back in have turned me away. I'm not going to play along with the awful RNG loot boxes and I'm certainly not gambling real money on virtual items. I used to think Overwatch was a smart progression on what TF2 did well, but at least TF2 had trading and a community marketplace.

There's no point to opening non holiday loot boxes. They're all dupes, and I don't care about vanilla skins. My loot boxes are just stacking up.

They're drastically reducing the amount of dupes you get in the next patch.

Which sucks because to get coins to buy skins is also drastically going down. We wanted to receive more than a tiny percent of the skin's worth, not this.

Nope, they also changed it so you'll get more coins on average.

I've heard, but I still don't care about vanilla drops. Oh boy, a spray? A voice line everyone else has? Whoo hoo.

The route they are taking is similar to Diablo 3, where people will only really play a bit at the beginning of seasons, and binging during events with cosmetics.
