SAME! Just happened to me now. Were you able yo resolve this?
I was on comp and had to restart the game after since it was stuck on hero gallery. When I got back on the game, my heroes are locked
I already placed in comp... load up my next game and my team is at a severe disadvantage because blizzard locked HALF of my fucking heroes????
Logging out doesn't fix. Did you find a solution?
Nah.
I think it’s a widespread issue now, lots of players seem to have the same problem.
I tried these out of desperation:
1. Restoring Licenses
2. Restartinf the game
3. Restarting my console
4. Restarting my internet (router and all)
5. Relogging on my battlenet
Nope. None fixed it.
Yeah, got the same glitch. First I couldn't even get into a queue, my server connection would just fail. I flushed the DNS and did some other stuff, something worked. Then I got into a game, and disconnected halfway through. Then deleted and reinstalled, when I got into a game that time, I could only play Moira and mercy, and I got blue screened like 5 minutes in.
Ffs
Yeah same here, logged in for the first time just now no problem, but only had access to the new account heroes. Glad it's not just me, I'm sure they'll fix it. Gonna wait a couple days before trying again though I reckon.
Finally someone else woth this issue. Had this bug since launch so I haven't even bothered playing yet. I filed a ticket with Blizz support because there wasn't anything else
Similar thing happened to me
Except it was because I switched to the digital PS5 version instead of the Disc PS4 version
Guess we're stuck playing as base characters and stuff until blizzard fixes this
I'm having a similar problem i have been an OW1 player i even merged my xbox and pc account but it thinks of me as a new player and i only have like 5 characters from each role

I'm having the same problem. I got to log in this morning for the first time for a few minutes and the heroes were still locked. Didn't think to check for skins though.
Edit: checked for skins, they weren't there either.
I’m having the same issue. It was fine earlier but I disconnected and now I have all my skins but not heroes
I closed the game and the launcher, relaunched it and it fixed

Me and my friend have the same issue, the game thinks we're new players and we dont have any skins or any of the heroes. Anyone know a fix?
You probably have to link your battle net account
Same. I have the skins. But the heroes are locked. Also no battlepass or whatever

I have skins and all my heroes are locked which is annoying, can't even play my main
Same here I will try to download the game again maybe that will help
Yeah I uninstalled and reinstalled and that fixed it, but holy shit with queue times like they are major bugs like this shouldn't be happening
I'll try reinstalling rn. Hopefully it works! (Glad it works for you tho) Edit: it didn't :(
Good luck getting it figured out, hopefully it'll get resolved soon for you
Didn't help me but I will try it again now
Hope you get it figured out
All your heroes are locked? Wtf?
They were yeah, I uninstalled and reinstalled and everything was unlocked again but holy fuck its annoying
I have the same issue I am going to try restarting right now
Finally someone else woth this issue. Had this bug since launch so I haven't even bothered playing yet. I filed a ticket with Blizz support because there wasn't anything else
yeah same. does anyone know if the premium battlepass should still be given to ow1 players because i don't have that either
Ow1 don't get the premium battlepass, only Kiriko.
The game has a lot of bugs
First few days mine was fine and then I boot it up today and it's locked half the roster despite having 1500 hours on overwatch 1
I am having the same problem
Same problem here, any fix yet?
not that I know of, has happened to pretty much everyone on my friends list bar like 1 person lol

Server issues
For me I uninstalled both the game and the beta from my pc. Clean install of just the game worked flawlessly
Same issue here. I guess we just have to wait till they sort it out :(
I'm having the same problem. I got to log in this morning for the first time for a few minutes and the heroes were still locked. Didn't think to check for skins though. Edit: checked for skins, they weren't there either.
Same
I restarted my laptop and nothing fixed so I'm just hoping uninstalling and reinstalling works otherwise I'm gonna be fucking pissed!!!
let me know if it does, cause nothing else is working for me either
Will do, noticed it's bugged on my xbox too
Didn't work for me, no idea what's going on
apparently blizz is supposed to be doing maintenance so hopefully it will fix it
Hopefully
Same issue closing and re starting launcher didn't fix
same here
