I personally only think the battle pass hero is an issue bc of how few heroes there are in the game. Also the fact that counter swapping mid map is a fundamental overwatch mechanic.
@Snowl_OW
the biggest problem is that the devs love to make heroes broken on release and there will be people that have access to that broken hero vs people that don't

Valorant and overwatch are very very very different games. I feel that my point stands. Valorant you can play without the use of any character abilities (it could be hard but it’s definitely possible). Overwatch is nothing without characters.

A good implementation of this with the same concept would be give battle pass early acess like 1 week or 2 early (in quickplay) for the time heros are disabled in ranked after release anyways.
