A player told me to kill myself (Resolved)

I recently played a qm game where someone started using the n word and raged at my abbathur. At the end of the game he told me to kill myself. As someone who struggles with depression and has attempted suicide several times this hurt me more than I would like to admit. I feel that the reporting system is only occasionally effective and would like help in contacting someone from blizzard directly. I have the gameplay recording as evidence with his name.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

You mostly can’t do anything but report him for abuse chat. Also i’m sorry to hear that you deal with this everyday. It’s not fun for you when some random kid like him can sit behind his computer and control how you should live your life. My only advise for you is to find someone you can talk with about this so it wont hurt that much. Myself i have played with people who trash talked my family so i tried to stay strong about it and just ignore people like him cause he is only there to bully people. I bet you are good at lots of things in life so dont make your depression win over you and mostly not let that player win over you. He is just one of many who prey on weak people, so its here you need to be strong now.

As Brightwing would say. Dont be sad, you should smile like this EEEEEEEHHHH :smiley:

Thank you for your kind words.

You have to keep in mind that in a rage people behind a keyboard will be quick to hurl abuse such as this without thought. My advice to you, being as vulnerable as you make out, would be to just disable chat. It really shouldn’t bother you what someone on an online game thinks of you, though.

I would advise you to open a ticket explaining things in detail.
Death threats are taken seriously.

If he did this just once than he calmed down for a month he will never be silenced or suspended by the system.
I kindly suggest you to send a ticket directly to blizzard.
I hope you will have good time in the future.

Name checks out.

God forbid somebody not meet your very rational standards on mental and emotional fortitude. But then again, it’s real easy to act callous and high-and-mighty with internet anonymity, isn’t it?

Thank you for the kind words all. To be clear Most things on the internet do not bother me. People say bad things all the time. But I take telling someone to kill themselves very seriously. I know how easily it could affect someone who is currently depressed. I am fine. But this person should be dealt with accordingly.

Hey Cath hows its going. I knew you would not leave us :slight_smile:

Link doesn’t work. Depression is an actual medical illness. A chemical imbalance in the brain. If your born with it your born with it, I can’t will myself to get better from a cold just like I can’t will myself to get better from this. You seem like a good person if what you said is true. Wish you the best of luck making software.

Ew. Imagine being this crass and boring. Empathy seems to be lacking, and you know what that means.

Don’t play non-meta heroes or heroes you can’t play well in QM; take them to VS A:I: where noone flames you.

Thanks but that doesn’t mean anything at all. It just serves to buttress your own ego and you know it. Amazing how brazen these armchair psychologists are in present days.
