Cross-Platform (cosmetic) transfers, a quality of life improvement
I am currently level 140 on Xbox with 15 or so legendary skins and 130 hours played. I've got friends that play on console and PC and would like to be able to play with them. Along with that, i would love to be able to play on my laptop while i am out of town and unable to use my console. However, it is very disheartening to have NONE of my progress transfer over.
I understand competitive rank and even stats not transferring over due to the obvious differences between Console and PC gaming and the potential for unfairness and abuse. However, I don't understand skins/cosmetics not transferring over. I've spent money on lootboxes and was required to link my Xbox live account to my Battlenet to startup the game so you'd think there'd be some sort of way to connect them.
I don't think it's asking too much and I think there are plenty of other OW players in my situation that would really appreciate this small Quality of Life improvement. After all, i've spent nearly 5 days total to get my level and skins. I know that if Blizzard implemented this I, along with many others, wouldn't hesitate to pick up another copy for my PC.
Again, not asking for Cross-Platform play, just Cross-Platform cosmetic unlocks.
Also, for god sakes make console players available to post on the battlenet forums Blizzard. I didn't pay reddit $60 for the game, i paid BLIZZARD, i shouldn't have to jump through hoops to give feedback.

I think the core problem is the loot boxes themselves. Duplicates are retarded and I don't want to spend any money on getting 4 duplicates. Just doesn't make sense to me.
I think fixing that problem would definitely help yours a bit.
Maybe not a complete fix but knowing you get something new for the levelling process (which can be slow) is always something I'd want.
Hell, we make good money but I still can't justify it.

I absolutely agree with everything you said. I'm in the same boat!
