ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
RE: the lovely Japanese level

A lot of characters can take the path next to the first point and fly across the gap to get directly behind the last point. Not that it does much when the other team is running multiple Torbs and Bastions.

Getting a lot of hate on this thread, does being called out on your apathy really sting that much?

Yup, I said it. Just got out of a game with almost the entire enemy team spamming "Let's lynch all the n1GG3rs!" Along with other blatant hate speech. Needless to say I reported and blocked them all. Now in the BEST case scenario, Blizz will slap them with what.... a 24 hour ban? Maybe 3 days if they are a repeat offender? Is this the standard they hold the community to? In my last 20 years playing Blizzard games, they do diddly squat to moderate the community, even responding to repeated reports similar to these with nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and I'm sick of it. BY REFUSING TO TAKE ANY SUBSTANTIAL ACTION AGAINST THESE ACCOUNTS, BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT IN EFFECT CONDONES RACISM AND HATE SPEECH.

Someone asked, I think in this thread, about playing on different servers or whatever.

I live in Japan and I play with a bunch of guys from the US. If one of them is party leader than we get grouped almost exclusively with people from that server. If I am the host it's mostly Japanese players (As evidenced by their names). One friend also has way worse connection problems when I am the party leader and he is in my group. So it seems like if you're playing with people in different areas it depends a lot on the party host.

This is on PS4, by the way.

I don't want these players to be on my team even if they are muted because usually they play like poo poo too.

Again, this game needs a Dota 2 style LPQ. Not a perfect solution but its better than basically nothing (oh noooo my EXP :geno:).

League's had a system of temp bans for horrible toxicity and it works pretty well, they gave a speech about it and everything.

It doesn't matter how long Blizzard suspends people for they're never going to cure racism.

If you let people hurt your butt with text even when the ignore function exists you might be retarded. If you don't like me using the word retarded feel free to use Somethingawful's block feature to see how effective blocking out negativity can be in avoiding turning into a crybaby.

It's obviously not cool but when everyone has the ability to make it all disappear, catching feelings over it is pretty pointless.

if Blizzard doesn't personally send you photographic evidence that they shot the offending racist in the head, that pretty much proves they're pro-hate-speech.

in fact, KKK membership is a secret requirement of employment there.

Not moderating hate speech is, indeed, a bad thing. I'm sorry that this issue that does not affect you in even the most trivial ways is the hill you chose to die on but I suppose we all need to do something to feel important.

Its not about being offended by these people. Its about not wanting to play with them because even when muted they play like poo poo and are prone to rage quitting. They are bad teammates in a game based around teamwork.

So IMO let repeat offenders be banished to a hell of their own creation. Not gonna get rid of all of them but anything that makes you less likely to get matched with them is good.

If you mute a player it should mute them. Then also remove both of you from the game. Them for being toxic, you for being a babby.
