Credit: BlizzardNot long ago I bemoaned the state of Blizzard's Overwatch, and specifically how frustrating it was during special events to open loot box after loot box filled with duplicates. Ending duplicate items would make playing for loot boxes more achievable, but it would also make the act of buying loot boxes more satisfying. Playing random numbers games can be fun, but buying a bunch of loot boxes in Overwatch should be a more satisfying experience. Game director Jeff Kaplan said in today's developer update that the current system of loot boxes is being overhauled. Meanwhile, Kaplan said that players will see more currency drops in loot boxes to compensate for fewer duplicates.
