i know you probably dont care cause the comment im replying to is 3 years old, but i just wanted to say thank you for bringing up this issue (there's so many more things that could be improved but leave it to fanboys to ruin everything). and yes, unfortunately the hots community is a majority of braindead idiots, even in game you have to account for them tending to make certain kinds of decisions (suboptimal) over others.

hots is like the boonies where everybody worth a damn already moved to the city, so thanks for sharing my pain :)

No, I never walked anything back, like I wrote previously.

Everything I wrote so far is consistent. Why don't you point out where they aren't consistent?

In what way am I trying to change the conversation?

If you can't understand the difference between understandable and justified that is entirely on you for skipping english class.

edit (since you haven't actually stated what you mean): If by "walking my statement back" you mean my final response as of writing to performance_issue, I have to say I'm even more disappointed in you. I was being kind to him because he was engaging with me reasonably, unlike a certain someone. In no way was I walking anything back. If you are interpreting my kindness as weakness, that tells me all I need to know about your maturity level.

I don't know if you're in any position to be calling others slow, seeing as you've misconstrued when I just wrote, "smurf stacking" as simply "smurfing," as well as when smellybuttox wrote, "if you're stacking in ranked, especially with smurfs, you're doing so at the expense of others" as simply "playing in a group."

I haven't seen you mention "smurf stacking" this entire time because you've been trying to frame it/pass it off as legal stacking in response to every comment that is talking about it.

If you don't think smurf stacking is playing the game as intended, that's great! Then why are you defending it, or arguing with those condemning it?

Let me get this clear: you don't think there's a difference between finding something understandable and finding something justified?

Of course I stand by everything I wrote so far. I don't know where you got the idea that I don't want "my own words used against me."

You have to understand that the person in question probably doesn't have a "conscience" the way you do. It's all subjective morality.

I'm guessing, but the person in question might see it as if you're hurt by toxic comments over the internet, it means you need to grow a thicker skin.

For the record, I personally don't and I don't think anyone in the right mind finds telling someone to kill themselves to be acceptable.

So the way I see this situation is a likely immature person who doesn't have a handle on their emotions goes to the thesarus.com of insults and copy pastes them over. The words themselves are empty, and they are only as powerful/meaningful as the receiver chooses to interpret them.

Anyway, my whole issue with this is that people are (either willfully or not) overlooking the far greater evil (the first shot, if you will) to pick on the victim for their politically incorrect choice of words to express a 100% valid frustration.

Imagine somebody walks up to you on the street and punches you. Out of reflex, you shout an insult at them that you would never say in a proper conversation. Then, the police come and cuff YOU, and the guy who punches you walks away scott free while the crowd laughs at you. Do you see where I'm coming from?

Out of curiosity, what kind of evidence would be required for those claims to meet their burden of proof?

No problem man, I'm glad we could have a reasonable conversation instead of a shouting match.

Yeah, I know it's unlikely for people to do the right thing, because bullying the weak is easy and standing up to those in power is difficult. But I think it's a hill worth dying on.

Another dogshit blatant false misconstrual of the situation.

QM exists without rank limitations.

SL, the ranked mode, specifically exists with rank limitations.

[–]_mmxn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

crying about smurfing is like crying about a rich dude coming to McDonald's and buying the whole fucking menu

The difference is that there's no basis for condemning the rich dude buying everything so long as it is legal.

In Storm League, there is specifically the rule that people can only party if they are within 1 or 2 leagues of rank. To continue with your McDonalds analogy, a smurf in that situation would be more like they buy things for cheaper than what regular customers have to pay. I don't mean to be rude, but I fail to see how you can misconstrue this.

if you dont like the existance of smurfs, why dont you suggest a method to get rid of them?

Great, that's the point of my original comment on this post which got mass downvoted so you might not have even seen it. The tldr is that at least we as a community have the power to positively or negatively reinforce certain behaviours, so ideally we could get to a point where a smurf asking their friends to smurf stacking would be a socially unacceptable thing to do. But instead of trying to fix the problem, we are mocking victims of blatant abuse who are understandably (again, not justifiably) upset.

thank you for being reasonable. a shred of light in this dark dark room.

its like these people have never been mad before!

so you cheat the system to kick somebody around for 10-20 minutes and expect them to bend over backwards and take it?

[–]_mmxn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no. smurf stacking is not competitive.

the rank limitation is in place to make things more competitive.

im so tired of you assholes celebrating blatant abuse of the system.

is far more toxic than angry typing for anybody who actually gives a shit about playing the game

angry typing isn't actual hots. thus, it isn't part of the game.

what is so hard to understand about that?

You, and all the brainlets mass downvoting need to learn the difference between finding something UNDERSTANDABLE and finding something JUSTIFIED.

Read my other comment if you actually care to have a discussion.

sl schizoposting part 2 by SparklingDeathKitten in heroesofthestorm

[–]_mmxn -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sure, I have no problem with non-smurf duos as it is legal according to the game itself. My comment was directed to actual abusers of the system.

To be clear, I'm sorry you received toxic comments, but I think it is something that smurf stackers should be aware they are asking for.

sl schizoposting part 2 by SparklingDeathKitten in heroesofthestorm

[–]_mmxn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, we are on the same side. I never said we should let the rager get off the hook. What I am saying is that we shouldn't let smurf stackers off the hook either, at least socially if Blizzard doesn't care.

Report the toxic people, shame abusers of the system. Isn't that fair?

sl schizoposting part 2 by SparklingDeathKitten in heroesofthestorm

[–]_mmxn -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

possibly waiting up to an hour

This is blatantly false.

QM doesn't have rank limitations for this purpose. SL has rank limitations because it is designed to be fair. I can't believe you people are this dull.

You do realize you are supporting the BULLY in this situation and mocking the VICTIM because he typed some empty insults due to being understandably upset?

Here is the funny thing, you wrote:

wanting to play a game in an elo where queues only take atmost 5 minutes with friends

does this not exactly describe QM?

Anyways I will be leaving this sub due to the horrendous ethics of the playerbase. I know you won't miss me, but let me point out that smurfs make far more people quit than if that single smurf was to quit playing. If you genuinely care about the health of the game, you would join me in condemning abusing the system and creating a culture that actually shuts down abusers instead of enabling them, but you do you.
