Mei's been locked for two weeks:

She can use her ice wall to get out of bounds and basically snipe people, but there are apparently videos of it happening during the beta, so not like Blizzard was not aware it was happening before the game's release.

It's not Mei, it's Kiriko apparently. Just uses Mei's ice wall. Apparently she can do ith with several other heroes too just harder. Can't ban the new money sink though.

Just under halfway through the season, so for those who have been playing, how high is your battle pass? I play for maybe five hours a week across two or three nights and I think I just hit level twenty, so not a good sign for me with future heroes locked at fifty-five..

Curious to hear how others are doing though.

150ish, but play a lot and focus challenges

I'm trying to push a narrative here, Qal!

But in all seriousness, that's impressive. I'll admit I haven't paid much attention to the challenges and have not actively chased them, are there really that many? Also, how much do you think you play a week?

I'm like level 4 or 5. I've put a few hours in, and as a Zen main, my queue's are instant, but that battle pass has pretty much ensured my motivation is nill. Hell, I just now finally did the story event for the first time just to see how it was.

A lot because my friends are actively playing right now and I much prefer multiplayer things these days so couple hours most days. Also I really enjoyed Overwatch and hadn't touched it for a couple years so there's a bit of a honeymoon/exciting again phase. Just doing the 3 of the daily challenges will get you at least one level a day, the weekly challenges are worth half a level each and there are I think 11 per week. Add in match xp, the bonus weekends, and random side challenges for the rest. Not sure how much I've played because my statistics aren't properly tracking but I got the title for winning 250 games yesterday.
Lvl 80+starts giving out titles in increasing increments. Last title is at 200. Reddit post claimed that any exp past 200 is banked for next season which is nice, but that's a loooooot of playing by most people's standards.

Around level 120ish, play with a group of friends that play nightly sometimes have enough for 2 full teams. Have maxed dailies and weeklies. Weeklies is a huge amount of XP.

I think I'm level 10-11. I mainly don't have any motivation to play. In OW1, there was a carrot motivating me to push through the frustration. With everything locked behind the BP and $$$, there's just nothing to look forward to. I think it also doesn't help that I typically play solo.

**Serra** · 2022-11-04 12:29

I've been playing solo, so maybe that's why it's been less fun. If anyone on console ever sees me on, feel free to shoot a message~

The carrot I've been chasing is the 3k points I need to get Kiriko's gold weapon, but I was over 2k points when OW2 released, so it feels like an attainable goal. Not sure if the game will be able to keep my attention much after that..

Rumor is that it'll be this guy: https://overwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Mauga

**Lucavi** · 2022-11-04 18:36

It better be Mauga.

New hero: Ramattra. It's the omnic from the end of the Havana PvE event from a few years back.

Leader of Null Sector, close with Zen, etc. Would probably be nice if there was some PvE to expand on this.
