THANK YOU. I hate that you have to “clear up” your own name. I once researched to see if you worked on the HOTS team in the manner that was being discussed at the time, and I couldn’t find ANYthing.

So to our community, please, PLEASE double check your sources before speaking ill of someone, otherwise it is just gossip that unfortunately all too often spreads like wildfire.

It’s kind of hard to check.

Last time I dug around I found several posts suggesting that he had nothing to do with it ex

@Chess-11652

Did you play HOTS and interact with him on it or hear that?

I’ve heard it lots of places but, I never actually seen much of anything about him in the HOTS community.

Past Balance Question - Heroes of the Storm Forums

Hey HotS community, there’s a lot of discussion going on over in the Overwatch forums and a lot of people keep mentioning Geoff Goodman’s decisions in HotS resulting in getting him kicked off the team. I tried googling some sort of info on this but…

Thanks you HOTS developper - Heroes of the Storm Forums

For making D.va the way she is suppose to be, geoff is destroying the overwatch hero balance right now and it suck. T least in hero, she will be enjoyable to play, so thanks you for making her a dive tank, and to make her role obvious in her trailer,…

but then when I asked other users that said they played the game said he did.

@shiinotic-1889

Do you have a source for him working on HOTS balance significantly?

I’ve seen it over and over and might have posted it once or twice myself but, I did a further look a couple days back and he does not seem to have been a significant part of HOTS from what I can dig up.

The people that play HOTS don’t seem to have heard of him.

Huge HotS player here. There was a minor pro team literally named “Please buff Arthas” as a meme because Arthas was nerfed to be so laughably bad that… It was a meme. Don’t like to name names but it’s largely attributed to him.
