Overwatch 2 Season 10: Best Changes Ever!
Blizzard's Season 10 update for Overwatch 2 brings instant hero access and a new Mythic Shop, thrilling players with exciting changes and free rewards!
HOLY MOLY GUYS! Blizzard finally listened to our complaints! When I saw the Season 10 update notes, my hands were literally shaking with excitement. Remember how we kept spamming "FREE THE HEROES" in every Overwatch 2 stream chat? Well, our collective tantrums actually worked! 😭
Starting April, ALL NEW HEROES WILL BE INSTANTLY AVAILABLE instead of being buried in battle pass tiers. No more grinding 50 levels just to play that shiny new damage hero! Though fresh accounts still need to complete onboarding challenges (fair enough, gotta teach newbies the basics), this change finally addresses the #1 complaint since OW2 launched. I can already imagine the chaotic comp matches with everyone rushing to test new metas!
🔥 Mythic Shop Saves Collectors!
Remember when I missed Sigma's Mythic skin because of finals week? The new Mythic Shop lets us earn past season rewards through special challenges. FOMO? More like BYE-MO! This is HUGE for completionists like me who want every sparkly cosmetic. Blizz says we'll need to complete seasonal events to collect tokens – hopefully not another grindfest though.
🤑 Free Coins Galore!
Check this out:
-
600 free coins per season (up from 540)
-
Premium battle pass gives EXTRA coins
-
Weekly challenges now drop BP XP
That means even F2P players can afford legendary skins faster! I calculated that saving for 3 seasons could get you a $19 bundle. Not bad for casuals!
🚧 Venture's Underground Revolution
Though details are scarce, the new Damage hero Venture brings tunneling mechanics – imagine popping up behind enemies like a gopher from hell! Their trailer showed drill-based abilities and seismic attacks. My prediction? They'll either be OP on release or get nerfed into oblivion within weeks. Either way, the gameplay shakeup sounds delicious!
Final Thoughts
After the controversial PvE cancellation and monetization drama, Season 10 feels like Blizzard's redemption arc. Combined with the Season 9 hitbox/hit reg improvements, OW2 might actually... gasp... become fun again? Still waiting for that promised story mode though... 👀
