Jake's skill rating article is spot on
Well worth the read and would recommend

Beware the reddit brigade of social justice

The "drama" in this scene is laughably petty

I don't think anyone is arguing that women are somehow genetically worse at video games or any such extremes.

But rather this ridiculous extent a poorly thought-out conversation over an obviously crude opinion is being taken just so some people can feel offended and it being publicly justified.
This victim mentality amazes me

Making the broad claim of "all women are x" or "all men can y" is always going to be wrong.
With that said he wasn't exactly lying when he said no girls in top elo or tournaments was he?

I don't see a reason to turn this into drama
petty excuse to start a witchhunt over a crude opinion

Better than yours, you blatant nerdstar farmer

No Team Iceland mention
article practically worthless

bandwagons aside
fraac's point here is completely valid

Well national playerbase would be way more accurate instead of population, but blizzard doesn't reveal playerbase numbers.

Inviting nations based on top 100 players sr
RIP Iceland

Right now we're trying some stuff with Lucio. We feel like a lot of players feel like he is a "must have" in comps but he also doesn't feel super impactful to play. We're trying some ideas to make him more engaging to play while making him a little less obvious/must pick. We'll see if those changes make it to the PTR.

One tricky thing is that player perception of "must pick" doesn't match actual behavior. I sometimes look at the hero pick stats and they clearly don't match the "hero meta report" stats. Then players tell me to throw out my stats and look at only diamond and higher in competitive play only. Well, at that point, I'm not sure players realize what a small percentage of the player base they are asking me to make a decision based on. Obviously, we are in the process of toning Ana down right now. But we're also not out to see her never get played either. Player reaction is often to sledgehammer everything.

Balancing around low level gameplay because it represents such a large percentage of players has me worried, that pitfall has ruined a game or two before
Although I can't say I'm surprised that Jeff Kaplan would try to please everybody

Hm seems about right.
As far as that article goes the point still stands.

Nerdbaiting
Make a controversial, uneducated or otherwise false claim that's guaranteed to bait tons of people into clicking and sharing to tell you how wrong you are.
How many of you knew the score esports existed before this.

Only solution is to not give these things attention

Can we please censor hafficools posts from here on out
Pro players shouldn't be allowed to invade my safe space with their crude opinions
