The main dissatisfaction of players was caused by the new Decennium Skins. Fans noticed that the skins were mostly white-purple versions of existing ones. Many felt that Blizzard had prepared too little new content for the 10th anniversary.
Thousands of messages criticizing the event appeared on Reddit. Some players wrote: "Blizzard made fools of us," while others stated that "even zero expectations turned out to be a disappointment."
Fans also began to compare Overwatch with Fortnite. Against the backdrop of Epic Games' collaboration with Overwatch, many players stated that Fortnite "celebrates the brand's 10th anniversary better than Blizzard itself."
After several days of criticism, Overwatch head Aaron Keller admitted that the community's reaction was "understandable." Blizzard promised to increase the number of free loot boxes, reduce grinding, and add bundles with guaranteed legendary skins.
