I’ve tried to get a lot of friends into Overwatch but the main thing that puts them off wanting to play is not being able to play some of the heroes without grinding heaps/paying to unlock them.

In a game like Overwatch where team compositions/certain picks are sometimes crucial to winning games, *no* heroes should be locked. It is straight up not fair.
One team could lose a game for no other reason than they weren’t able to pick a certain hero when the other team was able to pick that hero.
Also, a bunch of heroes that I consider to be the best/crucial picks are locked. Kiriko for cleanse. Lifeweaver for mass heals. Rammatra for smashing through shields. *All* of these are locked.

With all of the major announcements they made at Blizzcon, it is insane that one of them wasn’t the removal of the locks on heroes.

*All heroes should be unlocked from the get-go, full stop.*

    I disagree, at least for comp. I think even a few of the older heroes should start locked behind a grind wall also. Too many noob widow players trying to convince the world they can actually click heads. Too many noob genji players saying they deserve to get every nano. Fuck those game ruining tweakers.
