Nigger I don't give a fuck about it. The majority of the public does though.

Drinking water and breathing as white nationalist symbols when

korean overwatch league was a joke to begin with. they had to enable drops in the stream to artificially inflate viewer numbers because of low ratings. the game in its current state is trash, sales are plummeting and their player base death rattling. they'll soon bin OWL just like they did competitive HOTS because it's a money sink.

>blizzard
is this some kind of out of season april fool's joke?

he didn't do that, leftist media did by giving him exactly what he wanted.

well not leftist media but media in general I guess, left wing media makes it worse by not being able to comprehend words rationally

Why should they allow a white supremacist symbol in the first place? If they allow this, people will come with swastikas or something.

They're trying super hard to be like real sports, like forcing shit like geolocation as if that's not a hold over from a time before you could watch matches anywhere via the internet or the fact that teams need a field to practice on (something you don't need for vidya). They have to keep thing super sanitize so people will take them seriously even when it's obvious they're trying so hard for attention.
You see what was shown on the screens when the champions won the finals? "HISTORY CAPTURED" like this is a momentous never-done-before moment in esports.

2 years later and retards are still falling for a low tier /pol/ troll

>chasing people away from your already failing game

You fags still thinking Blizzard exists is the biggest meme so far.

Blizzard is literally activision.

isnt this the company that had 800 people culled for being retards?

>some chink makes the ok hand sing
>gets accused of white supremacy
>Blizzard bans it at their events
They have completely lost the plot.

Is it normal to see games like LoL and OW more as moneymaking functions rather than actual games to get immersed into?

Yep. They prioritized revenue over gameplay and their player base a long, long time ago.

>Meanwhile Dota 2's Purge, Bulldog, Slacks, and more are taking the piss at every minor, major, and misc tournament because they aren't scared of SJW

Literally nobody does outside of a few thousand pearl clutchers on social media and the MSM. Most normalfags either don't care or secretly think they had it coming. Nobody has talked about it at all in my work except mentioned it in passing.

Pepe was first you moron, the okay symbol was a response to Clinton's campaign labeling Pepe as a hate symbol

>HAHAHA THE GAIJIN WILL REIGN SUPREMEUR.

Damn with that sample size and derivation you might be right.

I didnt implied any chronological order, pleb. just that kek and pepe were ruined before the okay symbol.

All hail Grand Wizard Chin Wong

Fuck slahser ruined my pubs with his meme builds

kek and pepe were just the popular meme /pol/ was running with at the time of extreme leftist salt

Imagine, Ugandan Knuckles and "da wey", or Zoomer could have just as easily been a symbol of hate, had it been better/worse timed

You're acting like Activision held a gun to the devs heads and forced them to make shit games. The reality is that talent moves on, most of the WC3 and WoW classic devs have probably all moved on to better paid positions in companies not making vidya.

Normalfags are normalfags wherever you go.

You faggots better start spamming thumbs up as a hate symbol so Based Blizzard can ban it.

Exactly, most of the Blizzard devs have moved on, meaning the company is run by the fewest number of "Blizzard" devs who actually believed in making games.

The new devs believed in selling their product a la ATVI's wishes.

I.E. late CFO of Blizz pushed for less innovation and more service milking to tickling the beans of stock.

The orders from the top are to start milking players, not to actually make and maintain a game.

nope

ignoring everything about the paladins vs overwatch argument it's really fucking embarrassing how lackluster OW skins are when NOTHING ELSE IS BEING ADDED TO THE GAME
HOW THE FUCK DO OVERWATCH CHARACTERS HAVE BETTER SKINS IN HOTS THAN OVERWATCH

Reminder that this is the company that freely shills their games here all the time and spam threads like "We're going home!"

So I opened OWL on twitch a bit ago and it was goats vs goats again. I tried watching it but it was so non-engaging. I will bet my fucking PC that half of the viewers are idling for skins.
Like I've watched Dota 2 esports for years and some Brood War and they're very watchable things since you can tell everything that's going on has importance and have noticeable distinct differences between each player based on their skill.
but OW has fucking none of that and I don't know or care about any of the players or the teams. The only important things going on are ultimates that play out the same every fucking time and that's it.

If there's anyone here that does watch this shit, can you help me understand what the fuck is appealing about it at all?

Forgot to mention I opened my Battle.net launcher and noticed they're advertising a command center thing that's literally just an in-game spectator client similar to what Dota 2 has for free, except they're charging $15 for it. Like what the fuck?

blizzard is seriously stupid

yeah sure over 500M people downloaded the f2p game, wow, but how the hell is buying this shit for $18 bucks a pop?

It's been three fucking years and the /pol/ disinfo campaign to make the okay sign a white nationalist symbol is still succesful. It's so succesful that different multi million dollar companies and state governments have taken the bait and are actively calling it racist.

Think about how stupid the world is for just a second that a few edgelords on /pol/ can shitpost virtually anything they want into the next wave of hysteria.

honestly what turned me off was the crowd
the crowd is so fucking annoying

>Want so badly to be like real sports for some reason that they have "seasons" in game.

I only play it while Lucioball is going on. I think it's pretty shit that they lock away content like that because of their obsession with real sports.

Did the dude make this sign in the middle of shooting people? I watch the news fairly frequently and never saw that mentioned.

He made the sign during his conviction. One of the photos showing him handcuffed in court had him doing it and the media called it a white power symbol or something.

It's a /pol/ meme, where your extended fingers form a "W" and the ring your index and thumb make represents a "P", for White Power.
This was before they tried to claim the rainbow flag as keeping the coloreds separated.

In 2006, it was all about Christians thinking video games were Satan incarnate and exploding vans. So no.

>b-but I was merely pretending
Nigger, before it had been a way for legit online racists to sorta wink at each other, but after the christchurch murderjob people got a solid connection. It doesn’t matter what the etymological meaning is, the contemporary association is what matters. If you really believe it has nothing to do with the implied meaning, then you are literally a useful idiot for people who would love to see open racism becoming socially acceptable in west.

I appreciate that the Dota 2 scene is still at its core community run and how team loyalty is based on the players or a player on the team rather than commercial branding.

Using religion to label things and people is identity politics you moron.

Nah I get where he's coming from. Most people don't give a fuck about these things; the reason the recent shooting was pearlclutched so hard over was it was politically advantageous for certain people.

I think is funny, because in real sport, the crowds will always start to insult the supporters of the other team, and they won't stop at something because it might hurt feelings. They will try they hardest to hurt feelings.
