Don't Talk in Battlegrounds

Legacy randoms?

Absolutely.

Rated?

I dunno, but I don’t get how a self respecting player would go into a RT Rated mode without doing some prep, like learning the map rules, win conditions, general strats.

Here’s something to keep in mind…

People who queue for random BGs can and should do so for any reason they fancy. They should play as any spec they want and they should be allowed to casually figure out their playstyle and the intended strategies for each map without people crying about the role they chose or the fact that they don’t know the RBG strategy that happens to be their favorite.

the strategy most often is “who cares its not rated”. a complacent player base who have become accustomed to rewards for LOSING.
if someone isn’t ccing im going to say something. if a player has been mid all game im going to say something. if players are gy farming instead of objectives im going to say something.
someone has to.

Players who go into rated mode unprepared will naturally get a lower rating. It’s a problem that solves itself.
And don’t get me wrong, I think people should play battlegrounds to win no matter which queue they are entering, but we can’t expect people to play perfectly, choosing the perfect class, spec, playstyle, etc.
Sometimes you need to experiment, maybe trying a different talent build, trying out a new addon, a new class or spec, and there’s really only so many places to do that in PvP.

Na. It’s better. Bring back toxic voice chats. I want to watch those videos on YouTube right now. Halo and COD chat lobbies. The golden age.

dear god this fool musta been dropping N bombs like a madman to be banned in 2005

[Eloisone-frostmourne]

Probably was and now thinks anything that is against their belief needs to be shut down / banned.

Reminds very much of the current social climate where people try to yell down and shut down any rhetoric that is not in line with theirs

Eat pig, this gives you more HP”

Calling someone a pig, as that statement kind of implies, may be seen as an insult/trolling/being toxic…Save the inside jokes for friends who won’t report you.

C’mon…in the pre-match lobby, Eloisone literally placed a Roast Pig so that friendlies could get the HP buff it gives. Surely in Hindsight, they could’ve used different words, but in context, the statement “eat pig, this gives you more HP” does not imply any sort of insult, and someone would have to be literally looking to be offended to misinterpret what was said.

Hey hey hey

How dare you let the cringelord think blizzard manually bans people.

If I tell you to eat the pig, you eat hte pig. Buff is buff.
