Lol. After all these years they're thinking of rolling back the 5v5 changes. To quote someone from Reddit:

PVE was dropped, heroes are free again, and now 6v6 is back. Blizzard spent the last couple of years turning overwatch 2 back into Overwatch 1.

Edit: See also the developer's blog post about this, which goes into great detail explaining their decisions over the year and how we got here. Really worth a read if you are (or were) an OW player.

If cosmetics weren't important to players, people wouldn't spend money to buy them. We are human, we care about looks, that's why companies make so much money on cosmetics. So yes, it is important enough to dislike predatory microtransactions.
