"Super sad and disappointing" Overwatch 10th Anniversary Event leaves players reeling: "Blizzard did us dirty"

Official Overwatch 10th anniversary event screenshot shows the Decennium Tracer skin.

Overwatch is almost 10 years old, and Blizzard has kicked off the anniversary celebrations, promising new skins, other cosmetics, and "a legendary good time." Unfortunately, the fanbase has been left rather disappointed with all three of those things, with one player summing up the mood by saying it "genuinely feels like we're being pranked."

The main rewards on offer for anyone who plays during the 10th Anniversary Event (which started yesterday and runs until June 1) are the Anniversary Loot Boxes. You can earn 15 of them over the course of three weeks, which contain a limited pool of rewards – most notably, Epic-rarity skins of the original Overwatch roster. Called the Decennium skins; they're purple-and-white recolors, and… that's about it. The loot boxes also contain new name cards, player icons, and sprays.
