Removing crates would be an awfull idea.
Many players can't afford crownstore items, but are able to afford crown crate items via twitch or endeavor farm.
This whole idea would ruin the game for many and i see no need for that.
(Especially with gifting disabled and gold to crown trades not being safe unfurtunaly)
Overwatch is apparently on a player decline also because of removing crates and selling skins at expensive prices.
Please don't do something like this. Crates are fine.
And yes i also fully disagree with battlepass systems on eso.
Crown Crates are gambling. In any gambling situation you are spending more in the long run (on average) than you would be otherwise. That's just math. It's how it works. It's how it's designed to work.
The house always wins in the long run.
It really depends on the prices being charged and the odds. Overwatch 1 weighted the cosmetics so that you did not get duplicates of the same color unless you owned every thing in that tier. On average you got 1 legendary in every 20 or so loot boxes in OW1. This was about 20 bucks. In addition, you got a bunch of cosmetics for the 3 lower tiers including several skins. Now, they charge 20 bucks for 1 skin and a small amount of other collectables, none of which are other skins.
So, loot boxes in Overwatch 1 were cheaper than buying the skin directly in Overwatch 2.
Given what Elder Scrolls Online charges for houses, I could easily imagine the same could end up true for apex/radiant apex rewards.
