Yes, the misleading aspect lies in the fact that the paid "premium pass" actually provides Overwatch coins, while the purchase using Overwatch coins doesn’t deliver them. It’s a bit deceptive because it leads many people to believe they’ll receive 1000 coins, even though the store page clearly states otherwise. Once you realize this, it seems like a common tactic to trick users into spending Overwatch coins.
I don’t know if this helps you much, but here’s what I figured out. When you get a bundle around 1400, you can usually purchase individual items like sprays without paying extra premium currency, which then lowers the total cost—so you might only pay 1250 or less. That saves you about $1.50 or more. (It’s pretty cool!) Also, I’m feeling a bit in control now. I still enjoy playing Mei, D.Va, Sojurn, and Baptiste, but mostly just enjoy being Mercy. By the way, I didn’t buy the Witch outfit and have around 500 coins left anyway!
