Optional? They added the new heroes to the battle pass…. Doesn’t seem that optional, unless you want to spend hours of farming the free tier… for me, that definitely deserves a negative rating.

isn't that exactly how games like league of legends do it?

I don’t know, I’ve never played LoL, but either way, I don’t see how that does it make it look better for OW.

And if we really want to make a comparison, let’s make it with OW1. There new heroes were unlocked automatically for everyone when they were released. Usually in a sequel dev try to make things better, not worse.

because there very obviously isn't this level of negative-hype for LoL, when it does the exact same thing

Probably because it was like that from the start? In OW they changed how the unlocking of characters works, in an objectively worse way.
