OVERWATCH 2 forces you to play hundreds of matches before you can unlock skins, so players are spending time in World of Warcraft to unlock them instead.
Fans have been upset by the number of hours they have to put into Overwatch 2 in order to unlock the characters and skins they want to use in battle.

This has led many to look for alternative methods, so they can use the characters they want.
Players have found a way to speed up the grind, but it doesn’t involve playing Blizzard’s latest hero shooter.
Those who play both of Blizzard’s most popular games, World of Warcraft and Overwatch 2, can convert their gold from one to spend in the other.
Currently, 220k of gold in WoW is worth one Battle.net token.
Battle.net tokens are Blizzard’s premium currency which can be spent across all Blizzard games.
While 220k may sound like a lot of gold, those who commonly play WoW will often have bank balances that run into the millions.
Even if you are a new WoW player, fans believe that it would be faster to get this amount of gold in the MMO, than to unlock the skins via Overwatch 2’s battle pass.
One Battle.net token is worth around £13 ($15), whereas some of the rarest skins in Overwatch 2 can cost up to £70 ($80).

This is because Blizzard has been selling many of the skins as part of bundles, something fans have been complaining about.
For example, the Halloween witch skin for the latest character Kiriko, could only be bought as part of a bundle.
The bundle includes the skin, a weapon charm, icon, name card, and seasonal highlight intro.
However, many players only wish to purchase the skin, and not these extra items.
But the additional items inflate the price of the skin, which was released at the discounted price of £22 ($25).
The decision to only release skins in bundles, as well as how many battles are required to unlock the skins, are just a few of the things players of Overwatch 2 are disappointed in.
New players were spoken out about the fact that they have to play over a hundred matches in order to unlock all of the game’s characters, a key component to victories.
