Hi. I’m a common Korean player who plays in Asia server. All I want to say is “Please strength the crackdown in KR server game and KR server discussion forum.” Many Korean players play the overwatch with enthusiasm. But some of them have distorted enthusiasm. They want to go up but their talent is inadequate so they can’t go higher. So those scums pay some money to ranked people or grandmaster and boosting their accounts. NA server players might think that’s a kind of a business but that’s an meaningless accomplishment without effort and destroying the balance in game even if it’s a diamond or master. In Korean discussion it’s a hot topic among Korean players but some of them encourage to boost. It’s a serious problem. Except boosting, there’s more problems like leaving games, throwing games, only dps without tank or support in competitive, etc… Many selfish Korean players don’t want to play tank or support. Because they think it’s boring. So they always play dps and if game seems like to lose they leave the game even if it’s a competitive. And those scums encourage to throwing games like someone encourage to boost. Korea branch said they are trying to punish them but they’re not decreasing, it’s getting more increasing. Because, if their accounts are suspended they buy or making other accounts and Korea branch’s crackdown is incompetent. So many good players quit to playing competitive and playing scrim or never playing overwatch again. So as do I since season 10. Jeff, if you seeing this please do something. And thanks for seeing this long article.
I completely agree with the post, wish NA had the same sense of wanting to get higher due to personal skill, instead of blaming some uncontrollable force.
There isn’t anything he can do, this is a legal issue not a gameplay issue.
Korea is a very “Pro Gamer” Country - which means the best option is not to contact Blizzard but your Local State representative about the state of gaming.
It is already a crime to cheat in Korea - by creating new regulation against account boosting and to be classified as cheating - it likely heavily crack down on the practice. Especially if Korean OW implements Korean Social ID to register accounts.
I know. I always reported a lot of baddies with valid reasons but they never listen. And I saw a post about the inside of KR branch in Inven(kind of Reddit Korean verson). Whistle-blower said high-ranking officials always dumped all their works to junior staffs and they ignore KR player’s opinion. They just follow the lead which the head office said. Some pro gamers criticized the poor reporting system but they never change. It’s all meaningless actions in KR server. So this is the reason why I came here.
Yeah, the sportsmanship of Koreans I see in my rank-diamond (I play in US server) is really low. They tend to leave mid game early on too. Hence I have a certain extent of hatred for them. Especially those who can’t even read/speak English when playing in US server.
But I appreciate your shout out to the community, thanks.
I understand your feeling. I’ve been played in US server since season 3 to 6. I saw many Koreans in US server most of them are really rude and don’t mind to speak in Korean. Many Korean players blame Chinese players because they are ill-mannered but I think we don’t deserve it. I criticized this problems so many times in KR server forums but ill-mannered Korean players always laughed at me. Also, KR server administrators are really neglectful and they never regulate the server and discussion forum. I thought it’s a meaningless thing so I came here as a last resort.
