He honestly lost all respect, or maybe not respect, but civility from me, when he brought into question my level of education, while proceeding to call me, well, something I can not repeat here, since I don’t need to get silenced due to someone else name calling. I will however agree, he does want a change to the matchmaker, but threatening legal actions, and all of the allegations he brings forward, is still only his speculation/opinion on the entire thing, and other players have latched onto his mindset due to similar experience.

I’m sorry that happened. I didn’t see that. and we are all strangers on the internet… so he shouldn’t have called you anything. you may be perfectly wonderful or a terrible human being. I don’t know… and none of it is worthy of nasty in the interactions I’ve had with you .
can PC and Console players play competitive mode via crossplay?
nope. supposedly just the consoles will pool together.
Who is “we”?
You don’t even play on console so why do you care is console players have crossplay?
Also, the question is about the distinct lack of confirmation of this on whether it is there or not.
Lord.

The competitive community as a whole.
If you enter a game and the people have the X symbol next to their name, when looking at the player tab, then you will know if crossplay is enabled for the console player pool. However PC and console crossplay for competitive is 100% not enabled.
I have a feeling that the console pool has crossplay but just not with PC.

I didn’t know you were the spokesman for all console players and that we have collectively changed our minds.
So you think it’s good that people don’t have a feature that doesn’t concern you at all? How considerate of you.
I know how it works, I’m just surprised something this big didn’t even get a mention in this announcement given that hidden deep in their FAQ, they said crossplay should be enabled from Season 29 for the console pool.
The communication around this feature has left so much confusion and simply clarifying what is happening on posts like this will avoid this further.

It makes sense that the leader of our competitive integrity is in bronze.
Truly a man of the people.

that is 20 characters?
josh, is it intentional that the game is complete trash right now? like is it specifically designed to be that way? asking for a friend.
let us pick our data center when queuing
Ruined by Blizzard’s need for money. Thanks for further jacking up someone’s crap matchmaker.

You can kinda do that by using this:
Blizzard hates giving players any type of agency.
Silver, btw.

A forum MVP said not to do it as it’s risky
so I’m assuming you can get punished for doing it, otherwise I don’t think he’d say that.
It’s an unsupported method that allows you to get what you want but isn’t sanctioned by Blizzard. Forum MVPs wouldn’t know their butt from a hole in the ground and just regurgitate Blizzard propaganda.
You’re 100% not going to get “punished” for it. I use it all the time.
Use it or don’t use it - both are fine, but don’t spread fearmongering nonsense.
As long as you’re solo queuing absolutely nothing is going to go wrong.

I am not the one who was “spreading” anything. I clearly stated someone else said not to use it… And I learned that from someone else who said the MVP said it.
Plus, there are people like me who are extremely paranoid about their account, e.g me, so of course we’re going to be paranoid about using a method that we’ve been told by MvP that it is risky.
If it’s something they don’t want you doing that badly then the thread wouldn’t still exist now would it? They likely said it’s risky because it can potentially mess with your ability to reach websites depending on where they’re hosted.
Don’t overthink it. If they really punished people for doing it (which is something they can’t detect anyone is doing intentionally btw) then the thread would be taken down as the equivalent of a thread of telling people how to hack.
Ok, but he didn’t say anything like that…
Plus, I just don’t appreciate being accused of
for something I didn’t say
Not my fault, so unless he fully explains what he meant by “risky” then I can’t trust it. It’s not my fault he said it like that, and I’m not the only one who thought he meant the same way.
Did you know on games such as MapleStory you can lose your account for using a VPN, so I have a right to be worried about stuff, especially when someone trusted called another method “risky”
Like I said, as long as you’re solo-queuing absolutely nothing will go wrong. I assume they were warning layman and novice users to not mess with something they may not understand - you were the one who took it as you may get punished for using the method.
I assure you that this “MVP” is just being overly cautious about something they may not fully understand either.
I fully encourage anyone to engage with me about this topic, even the MVP, but no one ever does. 
Using a VPN and using your built-in firewall are two very different things. Calling an MVP as someone “trusted” is quite laughable, honestly.
