sounds like you’re just pissed and looking for another reason to be toxic
You’re literally a 1 trick Lucio and you wanna give other people with private profiles crap?
Explain what purpose you would have for seeing others profiles. Like why do you wanna know my heroes so bad?
Or if your on PC there’s always text chat
but I wanna see the heroes you play.
You can literally just ask them. It’s not that hard.
The much larger issue is handicap matchmaking.
This thread is a plea for truth, democracy, and regulation in online gaming. It’s about a rising schism of cognitive dissonance, caused by a new form of consumer fraud that emerged in the last decade without anybody really noticing. It’s about the rights of online gamers, and users of all social media, not just as consumers but as democratic citizens. And if you follow it to the end, you will find yourself on the wrong side of a shield wall. [Lars' Lentils – Episode 2: Algorithmic Handi…
The rating and matchmaking system is confusing, and a good overview does not appear to be available. The official overview1 is incomplete and does not answer a number of common player questions and concerns. This information below is gathered from sporadic developer posts and videos, salted with my own experience and experiments, various forum threads, and watching streams. Note that since Blizzard does not give exact algorithms, I do have to fill in some gaps, or leave some items unknown. Final…
Op getting drug pretty hard… Kinda amusing, Was gonna add to it, but you guys got this one locked down pretty well!
Either that or he’s purposefully trolling and we all fell for it. Either way, the argument is pointless as private profiles aren’t going anywhere.
It would be nice if it somehow showed ‘most played’ heroes (like a top 5 or something) but in no particular order and without showing the actual time played on them . Perhaps 3 settings;
- Private profile
- Partial info
- Open profile
Although the community would flame people over that also
Honestly I do this all the time It is hilarious I am usually right 80% of the time and My friend doesn’t know how I predict their team comps
though blizzard please stop this from being able to happen
This is a weak argument, just like the, you can’t have everything you want. Even though the inclusion of this was what a minority asked for. The excuse of not being harassed, implies there isn’t an ability to block/report/ignore specific people. It really does come down to insecurity. If I want to play widow and I am terrible at it and someone rages, I don’t cry about implementing a “private setting” to my in game stats. I just block the person.
Well, you can see if they’re good at the hero once they start playing.
If they’re not good after your observation, then at that point you’ve already lost.
I’m sorry, but if you need to micro manage your team’s choices by demanding that info it would seem you’re the insecure one.
Not sure why you’re trying to defend yourself, you’re both taking insecure sides. If you want to observe people’s profiles to make sure they know what they’re playing then you’re being insecure because you’re uncertain or anxious about how someone else is going to perform. But then while the observer is being insecure about this, the person picking something they don’t know how to play leaves the person in an uncertain situation and low confidence, resulting in insecurity.
From what I’ve seen, the only time anyone has ever brought up someone’s profile in game is to be toxic.
Better to encourage people to focus on their own game play and improvement than frantically dig through people’s profiles to find someone to blame.
I know there is non toxic reasons to check, but the cons heavily outweigh the pros with public profiles.
From what I’ve seen, the only time anyone has ever brought up someone’s profile in game is to be toxic.
Define what you see as toxic, because what I see from your definition of toxicity is insecurity that generates directly from private profiles. Toxicity is overused just like the word literally; most people have no idea how to use them anymore. Toxic is a very emphasized word to use; especially if you’re using it to use it replace the word insecure. Just like using the word nasty, instead of distasteful to define food as good or bad.
Not really. It created the SMURFF epidemic.
" Gonna Create an ALT account, so I don’t get harassed 24/7 about my stats".
Glad its gone. 1 of the best choices staff made for this game!
No, it’s because the people who look up profiles when they are looking for someone to blame when they are angry heavily outnumber the people looking them up to play around you.
Factor in how quickly people are to abuse the report system these days on top of that it’s pretty obvious why most players opt to leave them off.
Yeah dude I’m a Lucio OTP so out of anyone I’d know how it feels to get flamed for your profile. But do I care? Heeelll noooo!
I found that the moment I picked a hero that wasn’t my most picked people would immediately get tilted and playing poorly regardless of what I was doing. I find that private profiles ends up protecting these people from themselves
Make it so private profiles aren’t default
Why?
Either that or he’s purposefully trolling and we all fell for it.
I dunno if it’s trolling when you make a claim then get piled on by reasonable arguments…
just ask him if he can open or not I guess
You are creepy and people don’t like your creepiness. Mind your own business.
