The thing, the new system is distinctly worse than lootboxes if you want to get all the stuff without paying for them. But that's not necessarily a good thing for a healthy game, and I think more people need to accept that.

I didn't pay a single cent for lootboxes in Overwatch 1 and I still manage to get nearly EVERY SINGLE cosmetic piece they ever released for that game. That's great as a player, but not so great for a developer. Overwatch 2 makes it harder to get things for free, but if that helps fund more ongoing content then I'm all for that. OW2 has had way more updates and additional stuff than the original game did, so that's a trade off that's worth taking imo. And honestly, I didn't need to have every item that came out anyway. I get enough free coins for OW2 to pick and choose the stuff I'm really interested in anyway, so it's not a really a tradeoff at all, it's just a win/win.
