Are battle passes ruining competitive gaming or making it better?
Some players say battle passes keep games fresh by offering new goals, cosmetics, and a reason to stay engaged each season. Others argue they shift the focus away from pure skill and competition, especially when progression feels more tied to time or money than performance. In competitive modes, this raises questions about fairness, balance, and whether monetization is starting to influence gameplay too much.
For me, I work in airport transfer services, so I only get limited time to play and don’t have deep knowledge of the competitive scene. From that perspective, battle passes can feel both motivating and overwhelming at the same time. I’m genuinely interested in hearing from more experienced players — do battle passes actually improve competitive gaming, or are they slowly hurting what makes it fun and fair?
