It’s basically a double standard. “I can see your profile but you can’t see mine.”
If I’m a one-trick, I benefit from having a private profile so the enemy can’t view my profile ahead of the match to see who I play. Conversely, I can see what the enemy plays and counter-pick them before the match starts.
Winning the first fight gives you a huge advantage in the second fight. Every little thing matters. This double standard isn’t okay.
Edit: New PTR adds a “group only” setting for profile visibility. Could we get a “team only” setting as well?
Just like a dude with a private profile throwing BS or rank shaming someone with a Public profile, but here we are, aren’t we ?
It makes sense in game, but from the outside, on a browser, anyone will be able to see it anyway. Maybe a category that is only “ingame open”? Thats a weird territory though.
Look OP I Keep my profile public (and pretty much 1-2 trick a specific set of heros every season)
I want EVERYONE to see my profile. I don’t need you dictating who can and cant see my profile. Either no one sees it or everyone sees it. Stop trying to project whatever ur issue is (which doesn’t make sense to me at all) on the rest of us.
Homie… did you really just say that a one-trick was going to counter-pick enemies based on their profile. Ha ha ha… nobody else caught that? Do people even read the body or is it all about that title?
People pretty much stopped looking at my profile for the most part a few months after the change. They all just assume its private because the vast majority of profiles are private. My profile has been public a few seconds after we could log in when it was changed.
I don’t agree with private profiles either, but its not my game so meh.
That’s funny as hell, and somehow true. Did not notice that before.
Agreed. Should have a “Team Only” option as well. But I’ve never liked that people with hidden profiles could view mine. I would like the privacy option to restrict it.
I do. What else am I going to do while waiting for the match to start? Spam voice lines and punch the air. I do that on my way to defense anyways. I like seeing what other people play. Just for fun. I never hold it to them.
I really wish for it to happen.
As theres 0 reasons a private profile would check stats, they are wrong anyway and they are scared of getting harassed.
Like open profile for public profiles.
I don’t want to give anything to players with private profiles tbh.
