Our progress so far

JeffreyKaplan · July 13, 2018, 1:22am

Our Global Insights group just finished parsing some stats as it relates to LFG and Endorsements.

Post release of Endorsements and LFG:

The % of Competitive Matches that Contain Abusive Chat is down:

26.4% in the Americas
16.4% in KR

The % of Daily Players being Abusive is down:

28.8% in the Americas
21.6% in KR

We’re really pleased with the community’s efforts to make OW a better place! Thank you all!

And we’ll keep working on iterating on these features to make them better as well as exploring other systems to improve the gameplay environment.

Nice to see that players are being nice to each other

Wulfesvain-1287 · July 13, 2018, 1:23am

Nice, keep up the great work!

EU is so toxic that the results aren’t even shown to us

Serenicus-1598 · July 13, 2018, 1:23am

Thank you for the update!

Cyclick-11939 · July 13, 2018, 1:23am

Very impressed that, though toxic at times, this community isn’t all that bad! This is great!

FaneL-21112 · July 13, 2018, 1:24am

What about EU?

Korea is there but an entire continent is not?

EvilYoshi-21564 · July 13, 2018, 1:25am

We are a true no mans land

Lazypeon-1469 · July 13, 2018, 1:25am

Interesting to see the stats! Also funny considering people have thought me crazy for thinking the community isn’t so toxic haha!

Thanks for the info, Jeff.

JeffreyKaplan · July 13, 2018, 1:25am

We don’t have all the stats reported yet… sorry… I was just sharing what progress we had…

Arcadium-11882 · July 13, 2018, 1:26am

What about the Symmetra insights group :o

Thrillho-11204 · July 13, 2018, 1:26am

Thank you, Mr. Kaplan, and thank your team for your efforts in giving us the tools to improve this community that we share and care for. Overwatch is the only “shooter” style game that I have played since the Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64, and my love for it is a testament to the strength of your team’s vision. Thank you.

EvilYoshi-21564 · July 13, 2018, 1:26am

Always getting the hearthstone expansions a day late and now this, disgraceful stuff.

Musica-2488 · July 13, 2018, 1:26am

They are talkin about improvements, EU will never improve.

Lazypeon-1469 · July 13, 2018, 1:27am

Going to have to second this. Normally not into shooters, but you and your team, Jeff, have made one that I really love and that I’ve been playing daily for two years now.

Positive-11139 · July 13, 2018, 1:28am

Hope this trend continues with toxicity going down.

ShadowDragon-154694 · July 13, 2018, 1:28am

Thank you for this update. I REALLY love the endorsement system for this reason, but also because it takes the sting out of losing a bad game or a close game just a little bit.

I’m someone who’s always tried to be positive and it makes me really happy to know that that actually means something now; even if its just an icon over my name.

FaneL-21112 · July 13, 2018, 1:29am

Understandable.

I guess you were too excited to share the little information that you already have.

Thanks anyway Jeff.

Cyclick-11939 · July 13, 2018, 1:29am

Since when have they putting out the expansions a day late?

(Well, it might as well be a day late because of how almost impossible it is to get onto servers lol)

Rocktopus-11683 · July 13, 2018, 1:29am

Thanks for the update, this is great news.
