A group that is advocating for a character deletion on the sole argument that they personally find her “broken” is not good enough of an argument for a game.
Asking for tweaks or nerfs I can understand (somehow) but this movement was very toxic and not very smart to begin with (even people that participate in it didn’t display any form of intelligence whatsoever).
Brigitte was released anyways so a complete deletion would have brought even more controvery with #BringBrigitteBack movements etc…
It has been proven that those that harrassed the voice actress were part of that unfamous movement. If I were to be in a movement that would harrass and attack people for what they are (they called her fat etc…), I would leave the movement on the spot and create a more pacific one…even though asking for the destruction of a video game character can be anything but pacific but well… that’s another topic.
It’s not about being entitled yet about letting everyone enjoy the hero they want. Overwatch was always about different type of gameplay and gathering together people with different gaming backgrounds.
Blizzard can’t afford to delete something they released… At least not an entire hero. Would it be ok for you to delete Tracer or Genji 3 years after the game’s release just because a minority was loud enough to make a call for it ?
It would be unfair. 1% of players still matter. Devs would never do that anyways, so it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong on this topic.
I don’t mind being in a teeny tiny minority. People always have a way of deflecting their responsibility when something goes wrong.
I agree devs have made some poor choices but it’s ok, it’s human and at the end of the day, it’s their game. We bought it 3 years ago and even if they completely change the game, the hours we spent on it kinda make it for the price we once paid.
Things can be fixed when it comes to the state of the game.
However, acting up, being toxic, insulting people, not respecting the CoC, leaving games, trash talking etc… will never be a good excuse for a game not being perfect.
Overwatch could be completely broken, unbalanced and unfair and it still wouldn’t be ok to be toxic and do harm to the whole community.
This is what my thread is about. Accepting the game the way it is without compromising it by not playing by the rules.
The fact that people are against me and would rather cheer people that leave games is alarming.
And just for the reminder, just because a lot of people are wrong, it doesn’t mean they are right.
These forums are also a teeny tiny minority when it comes to having every players’ opinions about leaving game solely because they happened to not like a map.
