Lady Naga posted:"just press the mute button" is about as tone-deaf and ignorant as saying that the words don't matter. Actually it's very good advice. I use the mute button liberally and my life is fantastic. I'm not playing a different game from you guys. I still run into flamers and racists, but instead of getting upset at Blizzard for not immediately responding to my report and banning the kid mid match or whatever it is you guys want Blizzard to do, I just put him on mute so I don't need deal with him for the five-ten minutes we are matched together. If that seems unreasonable to you there are always books and singleplayer games.

Also I think Dota 2 handles it best. Let them play an take their money, but they can only play with other Jerks until they work out of it.

Prisoner Island sounds like a great idea in theory, but then you end up with places like Australia.

I've already mentioned that there's a different game that has a much better system for dealing with toxic players that I wish for this game to impliment so I don't know why you're acting like my methods are inscrutable. But really though: why do you loving care? You're clearly not slinging slurs in-game (or maybe you are idk you've casually tossed "dyke" around before) so any system that deals with toxic players won't affect you, and you've already proven how cool you are by not caring what other people think, so why the gently caress do you bother with how other people deal with hate speech?

My group had a really mixed night tonight. We had a full 6 for once, which was great! And the first few matches went well. But then we got matched with this obnoxiously good group who just stomped us across three maps. We managed to hold them off once. And then right after that group we attacked Hanamura against a different team. Bastion, Torb and Symmetra. That map is just rough... I like the second point, kind of, but the first one is just bad. It seriously needs an actual flanking route or two.

Lady Naga posted: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. I don't care what Blizzard does or doesn't do about this issue. I'm not the one staking out hills.

I too experience racism because Japanese people often call me Korean, and tell me to go back to Korea. I'm not sure why this happens.

League of Legends and DotA still have a ton of racists mate. And I care because it's a dumb thing for people to get mad about. Why is correcting people who are wrong so offensive to you? I'm sorry this board isn't an echo chamber for your opinions.

My point was that it's dumb to rage in response to someone trying to get a rise out of you. And also dumb to accuse Blizzard of Condoning Racism because you assume their response doesn't meet whatever standard you invent.

Yes, that's a horribly high standard to take against the worst of humanity. We can't possibly hold Blizzard up to that level, it's simply beyond them, they're only one company with complete access to their own game and all the tools in it.

Yes when I think of positive communities I definitely think of DotA and LoL. Look, we're obviously not going to change eachother's minds so there's no real point in continuing this. Because I'm an adult in total command of my locus of control I'm going to ignore your whine posts and not let them negatively affect me. You should try it out sometime.

Blizzard punished people for being obnoxious pretty consistently in HotS. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same in this game.

No all they said was that slurs don't actually matter because you can use the mute button so it doesn't really matter if Blizzard enforces a punishment system because it's not gonna SOLVE RACISM anyway so who cares? Much different.

It's barely been a week and already it's getting rarer and rarer to be able to play both attack and defense on the same map in a row. The losing team always leaves at the end and the game disbands.

It might not be an entire team dropping, but enough leave that the game disbands. I think I've only had maybe one match in my last 10 A/D maps where I could play both sides. On the bright side, I'm really enjoying Zarya's playstyle more and more.

I think the game tracks wins with a character for every single one you played during a match, no matter how long. I have a 100% winrate with Widowmaker and the only time I picked her was by accident for a single second before swapping.
