The beta of Overwatch currently lacks one thing – a progression system.
Patched at the last minute
Those who have the great luck to currently participate in the beta of Overwatch, should first give me their account should have noticed that especially one system is missing. There is no way to achieve real progress. A small exception is the notification when you achieve a new record in a kill streak, but that probably won’t motivate anyone for long.
Just before the beta started, a hero-based progression system was removed, as it hindered the game’s concept. Players should play heroes they enjoy and not those for which they necessarily want to reach a certain level (like in Heroes of the Storm).
However, a similar system is not entirely off the table. In the future, there will be a different system that might be related to the already extracted spray logos. As soon as everything works as planned, this system will already be available during the stress test weekends – when exactly these will take place is still unknown.
