I think part of the problem is there are a few individuals on this forum who routinely personally attack others… We as a community shouldn’t accept that behaviour… Let’s make the forum a more welcoming place for everyone…

well that’s bc blizzard is more about monitoring.
not actually interacting. although they want
you interacting with their store.
I get why the general section is ignored by devs, its just a series of venting about the last match played, and threads about hating the game lol. With the occasional series of nerf this character that HAS to be based on a tiktok because like 7 will pop up in one day on a character thats on no ones radar. 
My problem is lack of response to things like bugs. I have not had a spectate option since ow2 dropped and despite others saying they had the same issue nothing has been done and zero response. There was a chat issue in ow1 that lasted over a year where you couldnt join general chat without a complete reboot of the system (console only). Things like this make the forum useless.
There are those headscratchers from time to time that are terrible and surprise you but the other threads/posts that are sound and reasonable complain because the game is giving them reasons to.
We complain not because we feel like it or hate. We do so because we want the game to be and feel better.
These developers don’t actually care about feedback, so the forums are especially useless.
Wyoming Myst too. He’s been gone since they hired him
this is him :
Well I don’t think I’ve seen him in posts made by players anymore. But I may have missed it since he is no longer going by Wyoming Myst
These forums are just players venting frustrations. Blizzard is a money hungry shell of itself and the only ppl who did any work all got fired for playing cosby room. So were stuck with the left over mess making this game and trying to justify its price tag to microsoft with $20 skins. Dont expect any real work, balancing, or fair monetization til microsoft takes over and starts firing people. Id rather have 343 making overwatch at this point. Anyone else really… Cuz anyone else would see having an event and the main reward is a years old skin everyone has already as a big no no. Dont make the new widow / lucio skin the reward cuz then they cant make as much money.
Hence the money hungry shell of itself. So just suffer through this disaster called overwatch and maybe microsoft can micro manage this macro disaster that is overwatch.
Blizzard and the devs stopped responding here because it became nothing but a extreme vocal minority that did not provide any constructive criticism.

It isn’t just that. It’s that it’s all criticism, all the time. There are people having fun playing the game still, but if you say that here you’re just derided as being a shill for Blizzard. Even if you’re a $0 f2p just sponging off Blizzard for a laugh.
The subreddit has a lot of boring, narcissistic self-promotion, so it’s tiresome in its own way.
A game forum like this one is best used to help new players learn more about the game and improve their play. Sadly there are few threads here that are worth reading on that basis.
yes, the forums is literally just some ranting diary session here. nothing is really taken seriously here, or at least majority of the posts arent.

The forum is largely abandoned by Blizzard. They don’t post in here anymore, they don’t moderate in here anymore, and it’s just become a cesspit of toxicity, insulting and hatred towards eachother. There are many many accounts that make their way around here from thread to thread every single day just to insult people and call others stupid, and have been doing this for almost a year and have received zero punishments. The forum is dead.
The forums arent useless……the topics constantly seem on it are pretty pointless or not useful….so they’re largely ignored by devs now
The forums is a place they created for the players to vent out how bad the game is and make them feel as if that would Make a difference . Quite a smart move.
Since they removed general chat in the game, this is the best place to rant about this ***** game.
Blizzard responds to some stuff, there is even a tracker to see what posts they have replied to. For instance an official spokesperson told us that the opinions on the forum are not important to blizzard when we were voicing concern over them putting heroes in the battle pass
The forum is NOT here for Blizzard to take feedback from players and then change the game. Its for players to talk to each other
Blizzard makes changes from their own data and testing, NOT noise on the forum
Its also here for them to tell us things but its really not about gathering feedback. More people need to realize this and move on tbh
Not true
This is the official channel to give feedbacks of the game
Devs keeps on repeating for us to keep giving feedbacks (which we are)
But there is no feedback from their side to keep us in the same page.
If you feel this is not the official channel for this purpose, perhaps you also feel this forum is useless for this purpose, beside the reasoning for it to exist is to collect feedback from the community
Not what its here for, they simply do not take player feedback and change the game based on posts. Its naive to think other wise, they have data and their own tests for that purpose
You even said in the op you think it might be “useless”
Its not that, you just misunderstood the actual purpose. You even agree that they dont listen but still tried to argue that im wrong. Stop arguing and understand thats not what its here for
