Community is unfortunately what it is no matter what you do. However, dislike button discouraged posting unpopular but constructive posts.
There is many posts on these forums i wish i could dislike, but i know that if dislike button existed, many actually good posts would be disliked just because opinion was unpopular.
I’m actually in full agreement. I just posted this for reactions. It’s too bad the forums have very little thoughtful discussion. Maybe I should spend more time on Reddit? Not much of a Reddit guy but maybe it’s better…
r/Overwatch is pretty nice place, but front page is full of highlights, and balance discussion threads rarely get upvotes. But i guarantee that pretty much all the unconstructive and whiney posts will be downvoted or removed there.
As for competitive subreddit, i personally dislike it because their discussion tends to be extremely one-sided. But they are often talking about balance.
These forums are, in my opinion, often the best place to discuss about game because lack of downvotes means that discussions usually has posts from all different viewpoints. Downside is that you often need to see tons of unconstructive and whiney posts here…
I’d say it’s worth trying every place and see which one you like most.
Most unfortunate thing about Mercy discussion is that Blizzard themselves decided to further discourage it with megathread.
There is many things i wished to say about Mercy, and i put months of thought into, but i never even bothered to make post anywhere. I stopped playing Mercy entirely and now i avoid talking about her too.
you can say " " tho…
they are not regretting anything…they probably have office parties that involve reading comments and laughing at people, with beer and snacks, if i worked there i would organize that to make employees have some fun
I’d imagine the megathread approach is to limit the repetitiveness and spam of it all. A large part of the repetitiveness is not even rationale or constructive…
