Right, but you shouldn't be getting over 100% kill participation. My best guess is that it's counting RIP-Tires/turrets/traps/something else as a "kill," but the percentage is being calculated as a function of the total number of player deaths.

I'm perfectly willing to believe Lady Naga confronts people about racism and bigotry in real life too.

I've done it.

Not only that, I've also participated in many LGBT support groups (none since I've moved though unfortunately :( ) in order to help people who experience bigotry and used to attend most trans days of awareness with my good friend, who used to give a speech every year.

Not that I should really have to say these things like it matters what I do offline anyway, lovely behaviour is lovely behaviour no matter where it is.

I was the chairperson of an LGBT issues task force during Peace Corps and I don't think it's Blizzard's duty to end racism.

Good for you pal. I don't agree with that statement either so I guess we're on the same page.

PS4 and its lack of text chat is pretty swell, just sayin'.

Meanwhile I finally got a PotG as Symmetra, but given the nature of turrets it ended up showing me placing a teleporter while the enemy team was getting gibbed around the corner. :(

Anyways, I really like playing as Junkrat and Zarya, and sometimes Lucio. There's something really fun about running between two groups on anubis to keep my healing up. What's the most healing someone's got on Lucio?

If she beams 2 people that each do 50% damage to the same character she gets more participations than there are kills in the game; thus, over 100%. You could get waaaaaay over 100% in theory. I've seen in a few 100+s in those 1 minute stomps in like 13 kills total

Shoutout also to whoever said as much as "stop being so sensitive and just use the mute button". I'm so loving dull to this poo poo I've never muted or avoided anyone but I sure as gently caress have reported people, for the sake of other people who might have to put up with them. Picture a black kid queuing into a match for some quality time with the "KILL ALL N******" channer edgelord crew. You are both too sensitive and not empathetic enough. Cheers.

Yeah. Might as well stick to quick play though. What I need is custom game with the cool downs off and some dummy to shoot at so I can just keep doing it until I get it down better.

Maybe I can get a friend to stand around or even someone that wants to practice the same thing.

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.
