To be silent or not

Had a topic last night about how it feels like the a game mod is trolling me/ ruining my comp games, this morning i write up and the thread, with 4 or 5 comments, was gone… thoughts? Sus? Maybe it reached the right people. Maybe i was cooking blizzards secret recipe and they can’t have that. Interesting to say the least…

Not sure they would go as far as to troll you, but I 100% believe they can pop into any match and do things.

I sincerely doubt this is happening.

Blizz can remove you from games by denying access to servers via suspension or ban. But they’re really not even remotely interested in us as individuals. Not to the extent that they’re playing with you like a little paper doll.

That is absolute tin-foil-hattery. You are truly not that important to them.

Your last thread probably got taken down because it was utter nonsense throwing baseless accusations at Blizzard employees.

On the forums we have had had people come in making death threats with similar baseless claims in the past, so I’d understand if the mods are eager to get rid of threads that follow that trend. I can’t imagine it’s fun getting randos making threats saying they’re coming to do unspeakable things to you at work because they lost a game of Overwatch.

Now. If you think someone is out to get you: stop playing the game. If you KNOW someone is out to get you (i.e. you have concrete evidence and names) report them to the authorities and STOP PLAYING THE GAME.

What you don’t do is come on here making crackpot threads about how some mythical ~~ Blizzard Employee ~~ is out to get you when you have a bad time playing comp.

I mean, the post you made sounds like absolute nonsense, respectfully but I’ve seen the things that don’t get removed from here and it’s odd.

Also, like, after a thread is removed, maybe leave it at that.

Haven’t seen your topic but it might have something to do with guidelines rather than you being stalked by a game “mod”.

You have 3 posts on the forum, there are thousands players everyday, I’m not sure why and how a game “mod” would have time to make you lose in a free-to-play game.

Afaik, anyway there aren’t any “mods” in Overwatch. That’s why there’ a delay between a report and Blizzard action : mods aren’t directly in the game.

Or you’re some GRU agent and you wouldn’t tell us about that ?

Yeah, stuff that gets removed either has the OP saying something agaisnt ToS. OR: it has people in the replies that said something against ToS.

If only you knew… first game on today the was dps 9 13

That is unfortunate, it’s not blizzard’s fault, but you do have my sympathies for experiencing a game like that.

Funny enough i lost all but one of my support games yesterday. Before that I’ve lost 5 games in the last 3 days… idk how this always happens. I did win every dps game. Mind you im support main in gold 4 And silver 4 dps… i mean after i finish my next card I’ll be good 5…
Maybe overwatch just sucks so bad it feels like it’s not real.

I’ve said this in other threads, but look up the phenomenon of Apophenia. You’re seeing patterns which don’t exist.

You’re actually right despite all my positivity since i made that post I’ve only won one support game. Crazy how before that in three days id only lost 5 games. Of course I’m gonna connect dots that don’t exists im just pissed but also weird how everything unfolds you gotta admit

So you only lose 5 games in three days (which is wonderful, btw, really well done)… and now you’re shocked you’re against harder opponents?

Have you considered your MMR/SR has simply increased during that time and now you’re in a higher bracket?

If this isn’t the bracket you truly belong to, then you’ll lose a bunch of games and your MMR/SR will drop and you’ll end up in a lower bracket where you’ll start winning games again.

I’ve reached plat twice the opponents aren’t the issue

So you’re going to blame an imaginary shady blizz employee shadowing you and throwing your games?

Maybe your opponents aren’t plat. Maybe they’re diamond or above and you’re getting them in your games because you’re good enough to qualify playing against them due to your sudden influx of wins.

Maybe you’re getting better than plat and that’s why you’re experiencing a sudden difficulty spike? I think that’s far more plausible than ‘Blizzard took my wins.’

I mean google did the same thing hehe

Google also stole OP’s wins? What did they do?!

I mean its conspiracy no matter how you wrap it due to lack of evidence, however if they did have any level of eomm that used ai learning to dynamically augment hit boxes to help people with lag and created more engaging and closer games I could see someone being spiteful and rigging games using those mechanics but hey who has the time or resources for that…

Oh I’ve heard that conspiracy before… that implies a level of competence that I just don’t think Blizzard is capable of.

Oh im pretty sure they have ai learning to some extent, since its the easiest way to evaluate large data sets, and some of the stuff I heard from Modern warfare… reminds me of what is happening here… like no regs or desync enemies

Since favor the shooter is server based on blizzard the ai could easily go like nah give the guy a chance he has 50 more ping… but if he starts doing too well bam reduce enemy hitboxes to make it look less rigged and the see-saw continues, and no one is the wiser lol.

Actually, now that I’ve read more threads it’s seems like loser queue is what I’m describing is happening to me. Which is interesting because I’ve never heard of it, which is why my theory is extra, but my experience kinda explains it perfectly. Even if that’s not a real thing either, it sounds like a lot of people feel that it is so maybe there’s substance. Or all these people experiencing the same thing are just wrong and you know as fact because you work for blizzard.

“Maybe you’re getting better than plat and that’s why you’re experiencing a sudden difficulty spike? I think that’s far more plausible than ‘Blizzard took my wins.”

  1. It tells you the general rank of the room and before the game and claims if there a high level player on one team is matched

  2. This then supports that theory that my teammates are not there actual said rank

  3. If I’m playing against Dimond there should be a Dimond in my team too instead i get the seemingly bronze player

Im sure you’ll find a way to explain that one away too other then think it’s possible…
