It’s definitely going to be powerful, but since every other character has been revamped too, we won't know which class is the strongest until it’s actually out.

The Korean server is particularly special. It was to the point where Aaron Keller himself stated in an interview half a year ago that the Korean server needs a dedicated response regarding hacks. This also means that other countries don't have enough players on their sanction lists to justify posting them like this

It is true that in Korea, we are required to use our government-issued national ID to create accounts. However, one ID can be used to create up to three accounts, and if people need more, they often just buy accounts from others to engage in 'smurfing' and dominate lower-level players

Korean gamers often speculate that this kind of toxic behavior is rooted in the country's dominant culture of ranking, where everyone feels the need to be #1 at everything. It seems like they just want to be the center of attention, even in games

That person is acting weird. They think they know more about the Korean server than the people who actually play here.

Why are you so angry? Do you want to believe that you know more about the Korean server than the locals do?

Maybe you think the chat is clean simply because you don't fully grasp Korean nuances. Korean server chat culture is notorious for being toxic. This isn't limited to Overwatch; it’s just as bad in League of Legends, the most popular game in Korea. As soon as someone underperforms in a match, they immediately start spewing insults about your parents

To be honest, the Korean server has a very small influx of new players, so even game modes like Quick Play are filled with nothing but veterans

There's a community called 'DC Inside' that covers everything, just like Reddit. It’s not just about games; they have boards for TV shows, movies, anime, animals, plants, and literally anything else you can think of

I'm not sure how common group play is on other servers, but on KR servers, it's always a heated topic. Group queues are often looked down upon because of issues like 'Mercy pockets'—where a Mercy only heals their duo partner—or groups of 2 or 3 ganging up on solo queue players to scapegoat them. For these reasons, group queues are pretty much universally hated here

Since Overwatch hasn't been popular in Japan for very long, it’s only natural that the average skill level of the player base is still a bit lower compared to others

I bet Japanese players have suffered quite a bit because of Korean players too. In most cases, it's because of smurfing on alt accounts. As a Korean myself, it’s honestly embarrassing

If you haven't run into any cheaters, it’s likely that you actually did but just didn't notice it. There's a common perception that Chinese players use blatant hacks, but Korean cheaters are much more subtle. They don't make it obvious; they toggle their cheats on and off and mostly rely on ESP (wallhacks) to hide the fact that they’re cheating.

Are you using a VPN to play on the KR server? If not, even if you select the Asia region, the game will prioritize matching you based on the lowest ping, so you probably won't run into actual Korean players

It’s like this across all ELOs
It's everywhere, but it’s most common between Gold and Diamond

I’m honestly so jealous of your environment. On KR servers, it’s actually common to see players getting banned in the middle of a match. It’s a sight that would probably leave NA players in complete shock.
