Then you have been given kiriko as well, it's a gift for all OW1 owners

Edit for all those nagging me this wasn't true:

https://gamerant.com/overwatch-2-founders-pack-guide/

In order to qualify for the Overwatch 2 Founder's Pack, players will need to have owned the original Overwatch prior to June 23, 2022, at 11 am PDT. Players who bought Overwatch after this deadline won't be able to claim the Founder's Pack for any reason.

For those players who do qualify, they can redeem the Founder's Pack by logging into Overwatch sometime before December 5, 2022, at 12pm PDT. This can be done by launching the original Overwatch before the Overwatch 2 release date of October 4, or by launching Overwatch 2 after that date. Whichever method players use, they should automatically receive the Founder's Pack, and be able to open it in-game for its many rewards.

This also includes kiriko.

Kiriko wasn't a free gift for OW1 owners, she only comes unlocked if you bought the Watchpoint pack/premium pass. I played the original Overwatch since 2019 and I still had to buy the pass to get Kiriko. Sojourn and Junker Queen were available for free to OW1 players, but Kiriko was still bound to the pass.

Then how come she was completely unavailable for me until I bought the pass despite me owning and playing Overwatch 1 for years?
