Scandinavian flags in the game

So Blizzard have finally added more flags of nations without a hero in the game. Like today we got Denmark and Finland from Scandinavia. BUT WHERE IS NORWAY?

Why are we left out of the game? Do the devs think Norway is a city in Sweden? :joy:

This is a petition. Please get hte Norwegian flag in the game during Summer Games 2018 so we can use our flags to support our team in the upcoming OVERWATCH WORLD CUP!

no one cares. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Even if you get what you want, only you will like it. Nobody cares what icons or whatever, everyone is rocking. Been playing for 2 years now, there has not been one instance where I noticed this kind of thing.

Norway doesn’t matter.

Sometimes less is more when it comes to forum post, guys.

I do hope the one who decide about player icon sees this. The unfairness of every country except Norway in Scandinavia gets a flag is insane.

We got austrian and romanian flag as central european flags but no hungarian flag.

*Nordic flags. Finland isn’t in Scandinavia and it never will be in Scandinavia.

Officially, yes. Language-wise tho…

“The term Scandinavia in local usage covers the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. However, in English usage, the term also sometimes refers to the Scandinavian Peninsula, or to the broader region including Finland and Iceland”

The team which participated in the OW World Cup in previous editions got their flag as a profile icon.

So that’s the answear guys.

Anyway, Romania is more inclined with Eastern Europe than Central.

The peninsula only covers parts of Norway, Sweden and a fraction of Finland though. That leaves Denmark and Iceland completely out. That’s why the term Scandinavian is usually used when referring to Norway, Sweden and Denmark - the Scandinavian languages. The term Nordic adds Iceland and Finland to that. So I’d say it’s best to use the word Nordic here.

Ya’ll missing the point, and make a big deal out of it. Would it really hurt your game if they added a flag? No, of course not. Why fight it? Jeez.

Seriously? Wow, than i have no explanation.

Maybe Romania will get a Transylvanian map during halloween, maybe that can explain my country.

Explain Finland, Denmark, Israel etc.

Norway even got lore in the game, the attack in Oslo was the reason for Retribution, yet no flag.

Since we have Dracula and Van Helsing skins thats not a bad idea :smiley:

Hook us up Blizzard! Please!
