Overwatch is currently marking its 10th anniversary, but players haven’t necessarily been in the mood to celebrate. With much of the fanbase expecting more from the in-game event, the backlash has put a slight halt to the momentum Blizzard’s shooter had built up since its removal of the “2” and rebrand back to Overwatch.

That grind for underwhelming loot isn’t exactly what long-term fans (such as myself) were expecting to mark such a milestone.
To the developer’s credit, a swift response was issued by game director Aaron Keller on social media, who stated that rewards would be increased and easier to obtain in weeks two and three of the event, guaranteeing players a minimum of 10 legendary skins each.
