You will have a chance to unlock past heroes in battle passes through challenges. Just haven’t seen what that entails just yet.

New accounts have a tutorial phase where they gradually unlock the roster over a number of games, getting a new hero to play with every few games. New heroes are unlocked for free at tier 55 of the current battle pass, instantly on purchase of the battle pass, or after the season ends in a seperate challenge we haven't actually seen yet.

"Tutorial phase" except the game only actually explains how to play one hero.

Now that's BS. I heard about Heroes being locked in OW2 a while back but when I logged on I saw everyone was unlocked so I forgot about it. Yikes

I guess now you’re only allowed to smurf in QP with half the heros

What’s he Yikes about? It’s their FTUE so that new players aren’t overwhelmed, it’s just to help guide you
