League of legends actually does tell you if the person you reported got banned and its so fucking sweet

I would agree with Pat's assessment here: Anything gets big enough, and it turns into an unholy hell cult with a bastion of followers who are forged from the dung of Eldritch dragons. Like, son. For real.

Woolie has the best business ideas. Mega cheats and enemy codes, he should get into marketing.

Pat enjoys bullying his fellow children into crying on the interwebs, new lore

I suggest we scatter bear traps across the world, then put USB sticks with a post it saying "Overwatch cheats" in them and see how many hands get mutilated.

In terms of weird stuff heard over voice chat, Mortal Kombat X has it on by default I think, so that can be interesting. Once I lost an online match and heard a small "you did it daddy!" from the other person's mic.

What you do with the megacheatmode thing is not to outright ban them, but to send them into a playlist against fairly-realistic bots instead. It'd take them hours to figure out that they're griefing unfeeling computers.

Love Wool's megacheat trap. You cant get out of it. It only happened because you chose to cheat and thought you'd get away with it.

This title became so evergreen four years in the future

Making children cry online is a noble crusade.

People saying you should be on voice chat, okay, I don't want to be yelled at by simply playing a game

At this point in my life, I consider myself enough of an old man to remember back when this sort of thing began. I remember when online gaming really got off the ground with the first incarnation of Xbox Live, and I'm pretty sure I played one of the first games to have XL functionality: MechAssault, which was basically just a 3rd person MechWarrior game with simplified controls. I remember the voice chat in those matches I played, and let me just say this: it's ALWAYS been toxic, since Day One it's been toxic. Any of you youngbloods who think there was some kind of golden age where that kind of shit didn't happen are wrong. Those early halcyon days of trash-talking taught me enough that I should have as little to do with those communities as possible.

It's almost like people's online conduct reflects their inner character

I ended up no longer playing Overwatch back in June as I couldn't seem to have fun anymore with the meta, the throwing and the accusations in competitive play and the hatemail. You'd think overtime there'd be improvement for what already feels like a fairly old game. Boy does that not seem true *at all*

It's almost as if competitive games bring out highly competitive (IE hard-boiled) behaviours. I wonder if FIFA will have to slow down progress because too many soccer-induced riots break out.

Mega Cheat Mode should get you sandboxed, so you can't enter ranking, you can't enter tournaments of any kind, you can only play co-op against other people with mega cheat mode, and there is no way out of the sandboxed system.servers whatever, you are absolutely fucked no fun can really be had.

I had an idea like Woolies, mine was an agent smith that spawned in, killed you until the match was over(tea bagging you while saying "it is inevitable"), and then leaves. Until the next round.

In Splatoon 2's Salmon Run, some people just kill themselves over and over to troll people.

At 8:21 - I am so on board with Woolie's idea.

Hell I was 12 when Star Wars Battlefront 2 came out, I play one match, and because I was naïve I said "I am 12" or something like that, that was 18 years ago. Some guy immediately says "Shouldn't you be asleep", and I always remember that. A lot of people have said this, but even pre-Halo 2 2004 online, I'm sure someone on either Doom or Ultima Online or Phantasy Star Online, some form of early on line gaming had dipshits either spawn camping or hogging the loot, etc. And seriously, people have said this too, but have the offending party go to a special server that they're banned to, GTAV had something like that, with a dunce cap I remember. But in all seriousness, just ban their IP address or piece of hardware that allows them to connect to the game, now some would say that's extreme, but at the same time, they are wasting the time of not just one person, but several people who, for one reason or another, can't or won't play something different.

Rainbow Six Siege managed to avoid this for so long because so few people were playing it. So now we're in a weird space where we're amazed and super happy about how large the game has gotten but that also means having to deal with all the idiots who think they're playing just another CoD or Battlefield.

I NEVER flame (even though I play League and Overwatch religiously) but the gg ez filter in Overwatch is funny so I type it damn near every game for luls. Good job Jeff.

Reminds me of like 60% of gta, reporting as far as I can tell does nothing

Pat likes making kids cry confirmed.

I don't suppose anybody knows any good sites to get a team in overwatch?

yeah, so i remember there is another podcast segment with liam talking about teammates losing games FOR you, and thats why mobas are the most toxic games in the world, because other people losing the game FOR you is the worst feeling ever. and because they are all ranked, if you actually want to win and rank up and climb ladder, you cant "just mute everyone" you have to communicate, and NOT communicating is a report-able offense

Thing is this is one of those esports centric "get your weight up" type games were toxicity is inevitable. This sad ass statement waving their fingers did nothing.

china numba one

any game that pushes for hardcore competitive over co-op will face problems with toxicity because competitive games attract and even create toxic gamers. I'm not saying Blizz should get rid of competitive, but it should come second tier to co-op modes

But what was Pat's solution? :O

Yeah, blizzards toxic behaviour.

Pats a huge liar here. In outbreak key items can be picked up infinitely by anyone.

I thought the ending was pretty clear. L puts his name on the page, Ryuk comes by to kill Light. "Humans are so interesting." Or whatever. It seemed like the movie was leading the audience to come to that conclusion. Maybe I need to stop thinking these movies are just being tastefully ambiguous.

I've never experienced this kind of stuff. Banter, sure but not actual assholes (not speaking english at least) I don't want to say it's because I'm european, but MAYBE.

Yeah but fuck Overwatch!

Let's be fair though Some people call harassment over the smallest thing

See, this is entirely bullshit. This is literally "Hey, we're lazy, and not working, but we're going to blame the fans, because we're huge assholes." I'm not doubting Overwatch has the worst fanbase, I know it does. I've seen it. (I still remember a picture of that simpson scene of two monkies fighting, and they put the faces of winston and Doomfist on it, and all of the fanboys were 'that's not racists, shut up!") I doubt Kaplan gives a shit. It's easy to fix, but that would take effort, and if they wanted to spend effort on their game, they'd, ya know, made it good? A complete game? Made characters that WEREN'T just rip offs? But then this is the man who's entire response to balance questions is "you're a fucking scrub, git gud."
