What do you think of this? Will this be a good example to other games? Was this done as a proactive response to the rising government interest in the ethics of loot boxes, or because they really thought loot boxes needed to go?

removing loot boxes is nice, but why remove 2v2?

They didn't get rid of paid loot boxes, you can still buy them with the premium currency. They just got rid of the loot boxes you can get from playing the game, and replaced them with a progression system. This has nothing to do with legal concerns, they just wanted to switch to a more straightforward rewards system.

The lootboxes were predatory, make you click like 3 times past paid cosmetics to buy your free rewards

Unfortunately they replaced them with a paid pass system in what's basically a paid game, and it's really disappointing that they've reworked the monetary side of the game multiple times since closed alpha while every other part of the game j can think of has had ducttape fixes or has just been ignored (offensive abilities, bloated menu system, obtuse scoreboard/end of match powerpoint, champion balance).

On top of that the gameplay just feels more sluggish and clunky than any other arena shooter I've played

Traitorremoving loot boxes is nice, but why remove 2v2?

iirc they removed the Sac and Slipgate modes because of bugs, don't know about 2v2 but I assume it was bc of the same reason
