There’s no data for Overwatch live player counts outside of Steam.
And Steam only represents a tiny portion of the Overwatch playerbase. The vast majority of Overwatch players play through the battle.net app, without using Steam, so those player figures are not available to anyone except Blizzard themselves.
Actually it doesn’t matter what you’re using. Current active daily player count, on average for the past 30 days is approx 6 million between PC, steam, switch, Xbox, and ps. You’re just making stuff up to troll. It took about four seconds to Google player counts.
You do know that ban waves are not “random” right? They are waves as they get enough people that have pointed you/your friends/colleagues/cohorts out and they have verified the information internally and then released a wave all at once so…
There are a couple of internal reasons for ban waving vs individual bannings.
Like to me. Friendly banter is usually a comment that is an acknowledgement that the player is doing well. Like. “Omg widow, i hate you so much.” Idk. Ive never felt the need to tell people they suck. They are probably acutely aware that they are not performing well. Just seems like something a jerk who needs to validate their own ego through insulting someone else would do.
How ever this might be a crazy concept, but not everyone is you.
Just because you can take it does not mean that what is being said isnt toxic/hurtfull/ect.
Like for example, in my friend group we throw around the F slur (a bundle of sticks), we find it absoultely funny because half of us are gay and we know each other personally and know that everyone is joking and dont actually mean it.
However outside that friend group, I will almost never say it because I understand that other people dont know that im joking and that most people find it offensice.
I can take being called that, but that does not make the word good in any way shape or form.
Once again as you seemed to miss this part
Just because you think its ok, does not mean that everyone thinks its ok.
All data such as the monthly user count, the Users chart, the table presented are the result of extensive research on a specific game. We run through numerous statistics websites that offer statistical data for the game such as statista , steamcharts ,newzoo , gamstat , and more. I entered these data on software and produce detailed and improved results.
And that’s because a particular generation has been coddled. This led to mental weakness and now here we are. Reporting people for words, people who are strangers on the internet who know nothing about you.
100 percent generational. This isn’t 30, 40+ year olds reporting everyone, we all know who it is. Maybe you should keep some of this in mind the next time someone says something to you that you don’t like.
They don’t know you or anything about you
They’ve never seen you
They’re just trying to make you mad by saying things they themselves know probably aren’t true
Given these three things, it makes no logical sense that you’d let them get under your skin. Truly, it doesn’t.
But, again, most reports are ego based. I don’t believe that most people are actually offended, they just like the screen that pops up telling them action was taken on an account they previously reported.
Two days ago someone wanted Hanzo (I was using Hanzo), and as always I just ignore people who ask me to get off a character. Sure enough, a few minutes later they were typing in main chat asking the other team to report me for “throwing”.
If I had to guess, the majority of reports Blizzard gets are exactly this kind. So, maybe you actually do get upset over things people say to you (that still makes you the problem), but overall I’m still going with the vast majority are just abusing the system.
dawg there is no ‘‘mite be’’ as far is it being automated, you can’t pay thousands of ppl to just do monitor reports…esp when you can report for anything, actual or not. you are NOT allowed to talk in this game anymore, period, just turn your chats off.
I’m 38 and I report people, especially if they’re toxic in-game.
So maybe sit the hell down and stop trying to claim that generations are ‘soft’ when in reality there are plenty of people, from all age groups, who just don’t appreciate toxicity in the games they play.
Likewise, never been warned, suspended or banned for talking in Overwatch.
It’s easy to do, you just don’t say anything that could be considered toxic.
Like, if you sit there and ask yourself: “Could I get banned if I type this?” then the default answer to that question is probably “Yes” and you should not type whatever you were going to that made you ask yourself that.
Then don’t play games where there’s toxicity. See how simple that is? Things are a particular way, you know things are a particular way, you take part in those things, and then complain about those things.
Does this make any sense? No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t at all make sense.
You’re complaining about getting wet by going for a walk in the rain. I will repeat, competitive environments bring out a different kind of interaction between people, this has been true for as long as people have roamed the earth. YOU chose to take part in this environment, nobody made you do this. You then want to reconfigure how things go, and throw a tantrum when people don’t want to oblige.
I’m a dad, so I make it a point to report anything that I don’t want my kid to see
To those getting muted / banned, please actually read a few lines of the EULA rather than just signing it blindly, then acting surprised when your cyber-bullying gets your account silenced or disabled.
No. You’re the one breaking the rules. Why should I deny myself entertainment because you can’t control yourself and follow the rules you agreed to when you created your account?
Blizzard specifically has rules against toxic behaviour being used in-game. If you can’t control yourself and show basic human decency then you deserve the ban you will eventually get.
