I haven’t been following it closely, but my understanding is that it wasn’t just a feature that people wanted, it was something that Blizzard promised with their whole chest when they announced Overwatch 2, and was essentially the main justification for making a sequel instead of continuing to support and improve the original. Absolutely wild that they went “yeah, sorry, too much work, but be sure to buy a battle pass this season” several months after they released.
