Question: are overwatch loot boxes worth it?
Answer: Loot boxes are purely cosmetic. It's 100% pointless to buy them outside events and 90% pointless to buy them during events. ... Often you'll get enough coins, if not the skins outright, to get 1-2 skins in an event, and it's only worth buying lootboxes at the end of the event if you REALLY want a specific skin.
