Nice knowing you too.
Iâm not the one losing it over one small (and relatively irrelevant) statement. Youâre nitpicking and ignoring the larger point. Itâs effectively ignoring the forest because of one tree.

Considering toxicity to be ârelatively irrelevantâ in a thread discussing changes meant, in part, to combat toxicity is the absolute definition of irony.
Yes, it is ironic isnât it?
Iâm sure youâre absolutely perfect in every possible way and have never offended any person once in your entire life, ever, and anyone who even questions that is toxic, as well.

Now youâre just being completely ridiculous and overreacting since I never said nor claimed anything of the sort.
Definitely time for that ignore listâŚ
No - you just showed your hand.
Iâm not the one being unreasonable. Iâm just pointing out that youâre oddly fixated on something - and I highly doubt that youâre actually offended - you just want a reason to judge someone else.
Ironic isnât it? That isnât toxic in itself?
As they say - âthrowing stones in a glass houseâ and all that. Yeah.

Comix claims theyâre not a Blizzard employee, but certainly acts like it. Must defend the brand at all cost!!

Which just proves my point - theyâre not actually upset that I accidentally called them dumb. This whole debate they even bothered to have with me stinks to high heaven of disingenuity and distraction from their real objective.

But they arenât removing it entirely according to the post. It will just be removed from the pre-match screen. The main point of the statement is that levels and ranks wonât be displayed at the beginning of matches to reduce prejudice and toxicity.
If the matchmakers stays the same Iâll be totally fine with that. With the new âSR decayâ system and a more difficult barrier of entry for smurfs and cheaters, games will already feel way better.
There has been no comment from Blizzard despite the confusion of so many people.
A company that sexually harasses people with impunity must not think about their users at all!

Well now that you bring THAT up âŚ
Now Iâm having a laugh at how theyâll force their ideas of âpositivityâ on us while they arenât even treating their own employees fairly. Hoo boy⌠think Iâm gonna jettison myself out of this rabbit hole before it goes too deep.

they probably wonât because they just introduced a host of other problems, mainly people not having access to all heroes. Screenshots in the post donât even show the rank anywhere but the profile and that can be set to private so i doubt youâll ever have a comprehensive view of your teamâs actual skill level.
this is straight up sidestepping the issues AT BEST
which geriatric suit running the ow2 team thought requiring a mobile phone number to play the game would be a good idea? there are millions of people who donât like being contracted into a big cell service and nickel and dimed when they can just pay 45 dollars a month for unlimited everything through services like straight talk and others. Fire everyone making these decisions and come up with a solution that doesnât exclude people who donât pay a 100 dollars a month for a cell to enjoy the game as well.

I donât see this as a problem because most of the randoms in my games are incapable of playing half the hero roster anyway.
âCould we get a hitscan?â âSorry, I only know junk and torbâ,
âCould we get an Anaâ Sorry I can only play Mercyâ
âCan we get a Sig?â " I can only play Dva.
Iâm really no worried about players not having all the heroes. It will only really matter in the highest level games for the 1%.
I guess we will have to see. Honestly if I donât get to see someoneâs rank it doesnât bother me. If they play poorly, it will be evident. I donât need a badge to tell me whether or not they are doing their job and itâs not as if the current rank badges mean anything anyway with the sheer number of smurfs and boosted players in comp.
Just last night I had an awfully pepega Lvl300ish âdiamondâ tracer getting carried by our Plat border just barely gold Ashe.
While I like an environment where everyone is having fun together, I do not think spying and eavesdropping on conversations and worse yet, recording it, is the way to go, you are in essence invading private conversations, if you donât like what people say on your platform, why not remove the voice chat option to begin with, breaking international human rights, doesnât seem worth the hassle.
Secondly, again, while I enjoy a fun and non-toxic environment, I donât want a sterile one, where all emotion that isnât positive is banned, someone who loses should always have the right to voice their disappointment at the loss whatever the reason or method. You are a gaming company trying to sell us a product, not our nanny or our mothers. Our behaviour is not our business, unless in some way you conclude that we are somehow breaking a law, at which point itâs not up to you to ban or punish, but to report to the police. Again, breaking international human rights, doesnât seem worth the effort, regardless of how one may feel.
This is a video game, we are here to have fun, and if you constraint peopleâs emotions, that fun will dry up faster than snow in a hot summer, creating a very uncomfortable environment as a result. let people do what they do, donât spy on them, and donât act like you are a policing force, which you simply are not. Just make fun game, and keep the surveillance stuff out of it.
Because youâre gonna lose lots of customers if you keep encroaching on peopleâs private time at home. Because thatâs what a game is.

Looks like another one destined for the ignore list.
You could at least put some effort into your extremely obvious trollingâŚ
You do realise that the recent lawsuit business had nothing to do with the Overwatch team, right?
If you are utilising the in-game voice chat feature then your conversations are not private.
If theyâre not related, itâs just one more group of incompetents.
Frankly, this smurf measure is childish, like a childâs idea.

now you will get both people who canât play AND people who wonât play.
the player component not being up to snuff isnât the same as said player component being outright locked.
this is the biggest lie blizzard shills told and too many people fall for this logic.
player and game design are not comparable
