‘It doesn’t quite hit the same’: Overwatch players aren’t vibing with the new loot boxes

Loot boxes are back in Overwatch 2, but they’re not exactly hitting players with that rush of nostalgia Blizzard probably hoped for. Instead of rekindling fond memories of the OG loot box openings, players are finding the whole experience underwhelming.
It turns out that the grand return of loot boxes has come with some letdowns. The new animation? Lackluster. The reward distribution? Not great. The delayed claims for the free loot boxes from the Discord Quest? Frustrating, as I experienced myself. Even with the excitement of earning free cosmetics, the community isn’t exactly thrilled.
