Our progress so far

Absolutely meaningless stats.

what-21551 · July 13, 2018, 12:31pm

Yeah I’m assuming so because the OCE subserver is on the NA server.

AndTheySay-2462 · July 13, 2018, 12:35pm

EU isn’t even mentioned. We aren’t part of the community, apparently.

AndTheySay-2462 · July 13, 2018, 12:39pm

Public Profiles option, thanks.

Way to go overwatch team! Keep up the good work!

Hohenheim-11200 · July 13, 2018, 12:43pm

It does, actually. If you’re not being toxic and annoying, I really don’t care about your motives.

SW3RVY-2882 · July 13, 2018, 12:47pm

nice, fix godmode Symmetra fast or i quit!

Thanks for sharing this Jeff, here is my recent experience with voice comms.

This game's players are still toxic

Yes, text chat is nice because you can actually get banned for what you say in it. Voice comms are toxic because people aren’t banned for what they say in them. Many people still just complain and flame for the sake of spreading their misery to others.

I leave my profile public to help my teammates or for the curious to see, just for people with private ones to enter voice comms and flame everything for whatever reasons they have. Now morons have more than a mic to hide behind. The game’s players are toxic, there’s always some rage inducing belland in voice comms, I don’t care if they are toxic otherwise, I just don’t want to interact or hear those people, I want to experience healthy social interactions during matches, please make a working system that lets annoying idiots get banned for what they say in voice comms so it can eventually become as clean as text chat. And if they get silenced, they should still be able to hear people while not being allowed to speak or type.

I’ve bought the game twice and spent money on lootboxes to try and support the devs and it’s worth it, I love the game, I love the art, I love the sci-fi lore, I love the intricate stories that you guys have planned. But every match I enter leaves me feeling extremely anxious because of what people say or do or because of what they might say or do. Why do I care about strangers? No idea and I keep telling myself that I shouldn’t care, but as soon as I’m anxious and tilted, I’m pretty much throwing and I have to take a long break before I can play again. This game’s players are honestly damaging my brain so I am done, my profile is private, chat is off, voice comms are off. Want me to switch? Too bad, I can’t hear you, sorry that others had to ruin the fun, you’ll have to trust my judgment regarding what I pick.

Jeff and the dev team are awesome, I am really sorry if I come off as rude in this post but my recent matches have left me feeling physically sick because of how stressed out the players make me now. The internet is awesome in some places and should be awesome in more places, but it has turned so many people bitterly sour, especially in gaming. I just want to play my heroes without toxic morons completely stressing me out by focusing on everything that I am doing rather than their own actions. Back when I played Halo and Xbox with adults as a kid, it was all fun and games, people would trash talk in a fun way, now a lot of it’s just personal. People take jabs at whatever they can just to make you feel like trash. I wish I could understand why people behave like that because if I could, maybe I could tolerate it and use communication features again.

I wish Overwatch would just crack down on people being utter dicks and enforce healthy social interactions during matches.

this is nice and dandy, but the system is still shiny and new, eventually the shine will wear off, I wanna see these stats 6 months to a year, I mean I hope things get better but I think this is more of a band aid than anything

R4tmax-2360 · July 13, 2018, 1:09pm

Honestly, I never really had any major problem with toxicity, not in QP, not in comp (hardstuck around 3300 SSR,EU server)

I agree chat became a better place, and voice chat is actually used again. But the new systems implemented are far from perfect. They need to be tweaked (if nothing else). Or otherwise, their effect might wear off.

n0Tn0w-1674 · July 13, 2018, 1:17pm

A filter by level would be a good thing for LFG.
Beeing level 500+, i want players of the same level to join my QP group, not level 100- players who just started playing…
Is it possible Jeff?

CreamFraiche-11126 · July 13, 2018, 1:33pm

From what I’ve heard the LFG is kinda annoying to use in your region, I really hope they can get a fix to that. LFG regions in general, for some reason I keep seeing a couple Spanish groups lol

CreamFraiche-11126 · July 13, 2018, 1:36pm

At the very least have a base level limit for competitive. I’ve have had level 10’s join my comp groups

TobiasAlec-11572 · July 13, 2018, 1:36pm

Those are HUGE numbers! Let’s continue to make improvements! You guys are really on a roll with the LFG / endorsement system. It’s been one of my favorite features of this game aside from private profiles.

GIR-12122 · July 13, 2018, 2:08pm

what does KR stand for? it’s weird you only mentioned a few areas instead of many other areas like each server.

Lotus-13637 · July 13, 2018, 2:18pm

KR stands for Korea.

timabolt-1631 · July 13, 2018, 2:18pm

It ended up being close to 7 mins lol. No double ad revenue for mister sty.

Lotus-13637 · July 13, 2018, 2:19pm

If it included him speculating, then I still win

(Yeah, I’m not gonna be watching Stylosa’s video. He’s too much of a hypocrite in my eyes)

GIR-12122 · July 13, 2018, 2:25pm

that’s what I thought but why isn’t china, EU, or russia or any other area/server included? It feels weird

Eclipse-1391 · July 13, 2018, 2:27pm

When you added this feature in, I said your fighting a losing battle against human nature.

I punched these numbers into my calculator and it made a happy face. You can trust me on that, I’m an accountant. Good job proving me wrong!
