Do not buy a second profile expecting a general merger
Blizzard’s Overwatch merge FAQ distinguishes supported console-account linking from combining multiple accounts on the same platform. It explicitly says two PC accounts cannot be merged together. Treat a separate Battle.net collection as separate unless the publisher’s current account flow establishes a supported operation for your exact situation.
The word “merge” is easy to overread. It does not mean that any two collections, ranks or balances can be poured into one chosen profile. Before evaluating another account, decide whether you intend to use it on its own or whether your whole plan depends on moving its contents elsewhere.

Draw the account relationship first
Use a plain worksheet with no passwords or codes. Write one row for each account involved, and name the progress you expect to keep. If you cannot identify where the desired items currently live, do not begin by unlinking something.
| Account | Current relationship | Desired result |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Battle.net profile | Its linked platforms and collection | Keep or continue using this profile |
| Other Battle.net profile | Its separate collection | Use separately unless a supported flow says otherwise |
| Console account | The Battle.net profile currently connected | Confirm the correct supported connection |
A connection change does not prove a content transfer
A successful sign-in or connection screen shows an account relationship. It is not, by itself, evidence that every item from another profile has moved. The launch-era merge FAQ also describes limits and waiting periods around changing connections; exact present eligibility must come from the current account prompts.
Read the warning shown before confirmation, including any restriction on choosing a different account later. Avoid using an old cooldown number as a promise that your specific account is eligible today. If a change would strand access or put a collection at risk, get the account relationship clear before proceeding.

When cosmetics appear missing, identify the profile before acting
Start by confirming the Battle.net identity shown in the session and the connected platform account. Then inspect the named cosmetic in the relevant collection view. A screenshot from another platform, another login or another date can send you toward the wrong explanation.
Keep a record of the exact item and where you expected it to appear. Do not buy another copy, change several links or repeatedly confirm account changes just to test whether the item returns. A focused observation is more useful than a chain of changes that makes the original state difficult to reconstruct.
Use account listings as standalone descriptions
An accs.io Overwatch listing describes the disclosed contents and capabilities of that account. It is not a service for importing those contents into your existing Battle.net profile. A category illustration is also not proof of the hero skin depicted; the account details remain the source for what is actually offered.
If you choose an account for its own disclosed capabilities, compare it directly against your requirements and the displayed price. If your purchase depends on merging two collections, resolve that publisher limitation first. After delivery, report a genuine mismatch through the private order page with the specific disclosed feature and a redacted screenshot.
