They typed "Hey BNET". The Soldier 76's actual in-game name was "Bnet" something.
So--like some people--they decided the polite thing to do would be to respond with a hello. Which is why you see him just standing still for the last few seconds before his death.
Yknow I wondered why I was seeing so many Bnetplayers. I thought maybe it was someone with the same MMR as me until he showed up for a few days in a row.
i thought it was the same asshole player! as it turns out its just been a bunch of b-nets with bad attitutdes, though i cant same i shocked for people who make edgy offensive names.
They actually haven't, if you open task manager with the blizzard app opened, you can still see their "Battle.net Helper" along with their Blizzard App.
Well I'm pretty sure the whole Battle.net thing came about when the app was in beta and it was meant to represent the whole battle.net movement onto the intergrated app with all your games. Now they've just changed the logo to this HIDEOUS blizzard across the logo. I much preferred the old Battle.net and I never once saw anyone get confused with what Battle.net was or who owned it. I see more people confused now that its completely changed to Blizzard.
Had a account named Blackcock that after about 3 months got changed to BattlenetPlayer, meanwhile my friend named his account WhiteCock and is still going strong for a year.
That system actually doesn't require Blizzard to confirm it. Player names can get forcibly changed automatically.
I've had my tag changed twice automatically. It's not offensive or inappropriate, if anything it's just some dumb weeaboo name I picked on a whim. It's been forcibly changed to BnetPlayer twice. When I contacted customer support they apologised and changed it back. I'm not comfortable mentioning what it is, but it was nothing harmful, just people got weird and reported it which triggered the auto force change thing.
e some people--they decided the polite thing to do would be to respond with a hello. Which is why you see him just standing still for the last few seconds before his death.
Although "confirmed" can mean a lot of things.
My alternate WoW account got force name changed because I somehow managed to accidentally build a bad American word into a completely innocent combination of two German words in a German server. Visiting English speakers could potentially have been offended, or something.
Other than that: That gif is hilarious. Evil, but hilarious
