What makes wanting to know about the human psyche and emotional make-up “degenerate”? I’d understand if it was a more… intimate desire, but mine’s are purely of knowledge and information.
Hi there Darkot. I saw your response in the previous post and made note of the feedback.
In the interest of transparency in my process: I generally tend to avoid communicating solutions to the dev team. Your breakdown of the root cause of concern (the change in detection radius may be confusing and could be better communicated) is exactly the kind of feedback that’s most useful. It’s clear, concise, and to the point.

Yep. Definitely the M.O. of a psychopath.
See, this is what I meant.
Just say “I’m a pathological troll” and call it a day.
You’re trying to make everything more clever than it actually is.

That’s exactly what I find fascinating: when a human is placed in stressful environment, they become more hostile and aggressive. What if there was a way to alter that so that would not be the case. What would a world of logic before emotion look like? That’s what I love about humanity: so complex and full of mysteries.

I’d prefer the term “wishful idealist”, after all, this is the era of titles and whatnot. People impose titles and qualities to themselves a lot recently, for some reason.
I wouldn’t call myself clever–there are people far smarter than me, that we can all agree with–I just enjoy passionate conversation and debate.

Glad you’re assuaging a concern about a DPS hero rework.
Lol

And I’d prefer the title “wealthy billionaire”. But we have to call things what they are.
And what you’re describing is a pathological troll.

Closest thing we are going to get for a dev talking about supports for now I guess.
Fair enough! Thank you for letting me know and taking note of my feedback. As a Sombra main, I truly appreciate it.
We don’t deserve you Andy

I love the thought of Andy sitting here with a bowl of popcorn watching people armchair diagnose each other as psychopaths
Pretty sure that’s missing the point of his comment there.

Technically you could be a wealthy billionaire if you played the right hand, but the chances are low (though never truly 0).
Kind of ironic we’re having a discussion about masks and identities in the month of Halloween (October). Rather amusing, don’t you agree?
You mean mood, and not emotion right? Any ideals you possess is the result of emotions, it is what propels logic towards a direction.
The reason is to describe themselves on a practical level. That’s what words do, describes something.

Literally the only concrete assurance he can give is pertaining to a DPS hero. It’s incredibly transparent as to what the dev’s priorities are

You seem to think that I am unaware of these analyses - there are many factors different than before. I now you think what you have read which is a popular view point now is undeniable truth, but in reality, it’s not. This “Oh woe the end is nigh” thinking has gone on forever in one form or another. I am old enough to recall when everyone was convinced it was only a matter of time until Soviet Communism ruled the world… unthinkable to you, but it was not long ago in reality. It’s hip now to predict the “Demise of the West” but many people are forgetting that we are talking about 2 BN people even in 100 years, at a time when the population may hit 10 BN, and 15%-20% of the world pop is nothing to sneeze at, it wavers on hitting it, but a highly industrialized integrated area is quite strong and has many factors supporting it.
You way, way overestimate the averages at work and some of the underlying problems these areas also have.

To me it just seemed like he was using it as an opportunity to tell people that giving the devs details about problems is more useful than giving solutions
You’ll take away what you want from it though I guess 
Reckon I will read between the lines, ya

And I’m sure they’ll keep that in mind next time they’re deciding whether to do an AMA here or on reddit
Should’ve clarified better, my apologies: I would like to see what a world where people did not make decisions based on emotional impulses would look like. At the very least, a world without irrationality based on emotional backlash.

Yawn?
Are you saying not answering makes me… boring?
I like you - you are a spiky fellow 
.
I do love how every thread you are in devolves into the minutiae of pointless.
Well that’s the straw (man) that broke the camels back.
Consider me a fan of yours.
I don’t think you’re taking a lot of things into consideration when you say that. You have to consider the context, that Andy is responding to a concern pertaining to an already revealed hero rework. As communicative as he’s been, I’m 100% certain that there are things he can’t talk about because they’re still being worked on internally.
Give it time. I’m sure the devs have more planned for supports – and that for the time being, Andy is at least noting that support players have concerns and reservations that need to be cleared up.
Remember that Andy is attempting to provide a rare line of communication for us. We literally have not had this from the devs since the first few weeks of the game’s launch (outside of occasional AMAs). Hostility is just going to drive them away from being more open with us.
