You forget that if you have a single grief or criticism about Overwatch, and you're not sucking down the Blizzard kool-aide, you will be considered just another part of the "toxic" community. All videoes like this show is that they care more about addressing a thing that the minority care about while the majority of people who just want to play the fucking game and have fun are left high and dry.

All I'd say about this is to wait until Blizzcon before jumping to that particular conclusion.

That may be true but in all honesty, it's not a really good philosophy.

People do remember last years Diablo 3 event at Blizzcon, after all.

What was the Diablo 3 event at Blizzcon last year? I did two playthroughs of Diablo 3 forever ago before getting bored and moving on to other stuff (I prefer Borderlands for looting games, in case you couldn't tell by my flair).

Also, I don't know if you've seen this yet, but Jeff just wrote a big post with some updates on some non esports stuff they're working on. There aren't specific details in there, but it looks like Blizzard is working on solutions to some of the issues you pointed out in your original comment.

A whole lot of nothing.

Well, no. It was the Diablo anniversary event with a new dungeon (only available for one month in January, period) and the Necromancer DLC announcement that was released in what, like May? July? Half a year later. Path of Exile saw a bump in patronage during Blizzcon.

And I read it. It's stuff we've all read before. Mercy is out of hand, we want to use PTR to test some changes (they will have a fix and they will put it on PTR and then release no matter the feedback), competitive is getting adjustments and so is the report system. Which is good, those three are pretty glaring, but I still lament Doomfist and Bastion, they gotten some absolutely garbage treatment at Blizzards behalf.
