I’ve noticed, for about a week now, during matches (normal or battlegrounds) I’m missing the names of people, instead I get “You” and “Your Opponent”. In Battlegrounds I just get the Hero names, not the names of the players themselves.
In patch 15.6.0, there was a new feature added, “Streamer Mode”, which will hide your name and your opponent’s name. I just tested it, it displays “You” instead of your name, and “Your Opponent”. Toggling Streamer Mode off during a game does not restore both names (I assume it will for the next game though, no time for a new game for the moment).
Ahh, right… I remember playing around with that, but it didn’t seem to do anything at the time… looks like it did! Thanks!
It also blanks your name at the top of the Friends list. Easy way to know whether it is active or not, but you will need to close the list and re-open it if you toggle the mode to see the difference.
I noticed that… Now I’ve got my names back, Hearthstone doesn’t feel as lonely.
how do you fix this on iPad/ iOS?
By making a new post and not necroing a two year old post.
