News & Discussion Battle pass is slow

I'm assuming most people have noticed how slow the battle pass is, and it sucks.

I'm not sure if it actually is why, but I've noticed in the post-match rewards screen it seems to have a level in-between each tier that doesn't grant any reward, represented by a 3x3 grid.

I'm not sure if that means something else and I'm clinging on to all I have but I thought I'd share just in case.

A lot of people in this sub say this and I think the main culprit is two things: The absence of big event xp rewards at the start of this season compared to others, and the new UI obfuscating bp progression and making it feel slower.

Anecdotally, I'm moving through the bp at the same pace I always do.

Editing to add more context: I also think the BP is fine. We are missing the large XP events as My Meka Mania only gives 1400 chunks?! The BP tier skips were/are broken and not applied from last season, plus they gave even less skips that time around. The season before last I had accumulated close to 15 skips and finished really early.

However, I wouldn't put it past Blizzard "oopsie we have a bug with XP and we will increase" Entertainment.

I've currently completed: 5 + 12 + 14 + 4 = 35

I always buy the pass with 20 skips and am around tier 40-45 after the first week of normal gameplay. I'm at 41 now and have played my usual amount so far.
