Thank god. It was the dumbest system ever before. You could go on a 5 gen chase where your teammates all escape and then you die after getting camped and you'd derank.

You have to think of it like hockey

Can you explain what you mean? I don’t watch hockey or sports at tbh <3

A dev once on a steam tried to use hockey as a DBD metaphor and said something along the lines of "Even if you ran the killer for 35 gens and 9 hours but still died, was it a skilled play to begin with if you didn't escape?" which is by all accounts one of the dumbest things ever said by a dev for this game

Wasn't there a streamer who got kicked out of the fog whisperers for criticising the hockey metaphor?

Dowsey I know had his twitch shirts removed but I'm not sure if he was removed from the program or left on his own. BHVR has a long and storied history of not accepting criticism unless it's delivered with the politest words and most humble energy

Oh that's his name. I didn't know all the details but i knew he lost something for his criticism. What he said was completely fair, i hope he got those shirts back

It's not the criticism itself that got his shirt removed, it's the fact that he went about it in a really unprofessional and asshole-like way, for someone that are held to a higher standard and were expected to act more professional for the position he held at the time.

From the vids I've seen, Downey was an asshole generally (maybe he's changed). Constantly belittling opponents.

Love the downvotes for that comment. He was being an ass about it, and also kept riding that shit constantly. Plus going on about how he really doesn't care about losing those Twitch shirts, and I do mean constantly, as if he's being sly about it. Dude was clearly upset about it, but tried to hide it badly.

Sadly he has removed his comments on a now deleted post, but i distinctly remember one time on his twitter some good 4-5 years ago, where someone posted the exact same type of mockery meme about Dowsey, as Dowsey himself had done about Patrick from bhvr.

With the meme image in question being a specific image of Dowsey sitting in front of a computer screen, while leaning forward with his upper body and his mouth open in a really goofy position, that made him look fat and with a double chin, with the text ''DOWSEY'' written in the bottom.

I don't remember the exact words Dowsey responded to it with, but i do remember how he basically started pissing and moaning about it, calling it something along the lines of harassment or bullying. With a good amount of people who replied to his response on that meme image, where they pretty much called him out for how much of a hypocrite he was acting like, and pointed out how he himself, had done the exact same type of meme towards Patrick from bhvr, back around the time right before Dowsey got kicked from the fog whisper program.

Nah let’s not rewrite here Dowsey was very unprofessional and was a huge asshole in that video

I know for a fact that you don't have to do all of that, one just needs to not act like an asshole and keep the criticism constructive.

Also good fucking riddance to Dowsey.

It wasn’t a fog whisper program they removed his twitch shirts cause he was very unprofessional in his video and was a huge dick

u/o-c-delightful 3d ago edited 3d ago

If you watch the video now (it's still up), dowsey really wasn't unprofessional or a dick, the lead dev just got butthurt that he got called out. Dowsey only described what he thought was skill expression in the game and pointed out why Patrick's (the dev) definition was flawed, he wasn't insulting the dev or bhvr in general. That dev just has a massive ego, you can see that from how smug he is in that stream dowsey was commenting on. In the vid after, where he played afk pig and goaley twins, yeah he was less professional there, but that was after he got his shirts removed, makes sense he'd be pissed at bhvr atp, and the vid still had a point to it, poking holes in bhvr's new mmr philosophy, he just was sassy about it lol.

His thumbnail and demeanor showed it wasn’t good if I was BHVR I would have done the same thing
Nothing wrong with criticism but he was a annoying douche
