Weekly Trash Talk Thread - July 03, 2017

HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

JUST GET YOUR THIRD LUCIO PLAYER ICON DUPLICATE? GETTING PERMANENTLY KILLED BY THE MOST OP CHARACTER IN THE GAME? THERE'S TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

I doubt upvoting one "Toxic players, please stop being toxic" to the front page once every two weeks really helps the issue

As much as discussing these types of issues is important and it can help people to open up about bad experiences, but the general purpose of trying to lower toxicity feels pretty futile, since poeple still keep posting stuff about toxicity more and more which gives the picture that the problem isn't really going away. As in one toxicity thread one redditor (forgot their name, but they had a pixel Pharah flair if I remember corrently) sait; "Im sure toxic players wll notice this and won't do it next time", which was seemingly the most upvoted comment and had lots of agreeing comments about hammering in the stuff that we don't like toxicity seems to be getting repetitive with no real effect on the actual state of the community.

(let me clarify so I don't sound like a dick; threads with purpose of needing support with negativep laying experiences are important and I support them, but threads with general "this type of toxicity is obviously bad and you should think about what you've done" message are ones that sadly feel like mosquito's buzzing to larger community)

Though this is purely positive thing, this Overwatch subreddit seems to be rather friendly and non-toxic compared to places like TF2 subreddit, since here people are mostly friendly, helpful and supportive, and negative/hurting threads are often downvoted and criticized. However, this makes me personally feel that all toxic idiots simply keep out of this subreddit and probably have other places on the internet to be toxic idiots. Of course this is nice contrast to more generally toxic gaming reddits where verbal fighting, rudeness or minor harrassing are seen as more typical and normal and constructive discussions need their own subreddit. I've occasionally just posted stuff on r/truetf2 instead of just r/tf2 because I don't want to hear peoples' annoying picking or lazy sarcasm.

TL;DR: r/overwatch is enjoyable and great community, but it feels like all these constructive and fair people are only a small portion of ove 30 million playerbase that can house lot of assholes who don't seem to care.

EDIT: I got that my talk of r/tf2 was inserted clumsily and gave it a wrong context.. I was ment to use the said subreddit as an example about how other gaming subreddits can be more unfriendly on the range of hostility to minor rudeness. I've spent lot of time there during my TF2 haydays and there can be lot of supportive and friendly people, but visibly more mean spirited as well, and TF2 subreddit can more often fall into this in my experience. It's still a great place in some aspects like sharing art or ideas, but sometimes when I think about posting topics I know would quite possibly get some more unpleasant people wake I go r/truetf2 for more serious discussion. On OW subreddit I've seen equally serious and helpful as goofy and sarcastic, but it has felt like Team Fortress 2 would indeed use both subreddits.

Also I noticed that I probably used word "toxic" too much on this article which may have fel frustrating and twist my message somewhat. Apologies.

At what point do we admit that Roadhog has become one of the worst heroes in the game?

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 03:13 PM PDT

It's been close to a month since the massive Roadhog nerf, more than enough time for people to "learn how to play Hog differently".

Let's look at the results over the past week shall we?

Roadhog has the 7th lowest pick-rate across all heroes at all levels at 1.48%. That percentage drops to 7th at 1.22% at Diamond, 5th at 0.84% in Masters, and 3rd lowest at 0.42% in Grand Master, ahead of only Mei and Bastion, but only barely.

He has the 2nd worst win-rate, of all heroes, in the entire game, 43.59%, ahead of only Sombra at 42.73%. In Diamond, Masters, and Grand Masters, he has the lowest win-rate in all 3.

He has the 4th lowest on-fire rate over that time, 8.13%. On fire is by no means a very good metric, but I throw it out there regardless.

In the top 100, there are 8 total people who have Roadhog in their top 5 most played heroes this season. None has him higher than 4th in the top 500. Of those 8 in the top 100 who do have him in their top 5 heroes this season, only two have played him within the last 3 weeks, and only 1 within the last 10 days.

So, since his nerf a hero has one of the lowest pick-rates in the game. With one of the worst win-percentages in the game. With almost no one at a high level picking him, at all. Junkrat, considered probably the worst hero in the game, has a higher win-rate than Hog since the nerf.

So Blizzard, is it perhaps time to admit mistake in this whole thing and give Hog something to make him even slightly relevant again?

Some designer at Overwatch drew this amazing art of Emily and Tracer at AnimeExpo.

Would be really savage if they added this is as a spray or released another Emily comic. I don't think they will do it however. I mean, look at Emily grabbing some of the goods ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
