Overwatch 2’s villainous support hero Moira received an exceptional Legendary skin with the crossover event with Diablo. However, players were frustrated when they realized that the only way to obtain the skin was by purchasing the expensive Ultimate Battle Pass bundle.
Blizzard initially remained silent on the issue, but they have now addressed the player concerns. While they indirectly admitted their mistake, they did not provide an immediate solution.
In their statement, Blizzard acknowledged the controversy surrounding the placement of the Moira skin in the Ultimate Battle Pass bundle. They recognized that players were upset about the limited availability of the skin and the high price tag associated with it. Blizzard stated that they will continue to offer the Ultimate Battle Pass bundle with legendary skins every season, but they also promised to provide more ways for players to acquire popular skins in the future.
The obvious solution would be to make the Moira skin available for individual purchase at the standard price for a Legendary cosmetic. However, Blizzard did not address this directly, leaving players who have enough in-game currency to purchase the skin without a clear option.
Overall, Blizzard has learned a lesson from this controversy and intends to improve their approach to skin distribution in the future. Players can hope for more accessibility and fairness when it comes to obtaining highly sought-after skins.
