Early blizzcon drama report

58  2019-11-01 by chimpan_z

My patience for gamer nonsense is at an all time low but here is are some brief scoops, if dramatards want to go wranglin':

/r/blizzard - lots of seething over HK drama which is presumably banned from the game-specific subs.

/r/diablo - diablo 4 announced, not much seethe AFAIK but some remarkable gems of gamer nonsense from the lowest common denominator of blizzdrones

/r/wow - low effort expac announced, undead ranger foid is the ultimate Mary Sue, gamercels mad x24.

/r/overwatch - version 2 announced, has full crossplay with OW1 so it's basically a $60 major update? Cope.

/r/starcraft, /r/hearthstone linked for completeness

Overwatch is a $20 game under the guise of a AAA experience.

"Internalized misogynist" and "prude" are the new slurs for women with standards and boundaries. Don't let newspeak fool you. ;)

Fuck me, its been almost a decade since the clusterfuck that was D3 came out? At least this one looks more gritty and dark, without the chinsey sfx D3 had

I was honestly kinda hoping Blizzard would announce WC4 and snatch back the Doomer demographic, but it looks like their fanboys are happy to forget the whole HK thing even as it is

Sort trailer comments by controversial for easy drama. See if you can pick out my sperging!

Tl;dr is ranger zombie mommy wipes the floor with the undead king and breaks a helmet, sending everybody to the shadow realm because she’s emo. Wowcels mad x2400, claiming she won too easily and they’re sick of how she’s everywhere and they just want her dead and gone.

Your use of 'claiming' implies they're not correct. Sylvanas is the fucking worst.

1  nybbas 2019-11-01

I think it's hilarious how she has become a more and more hated characters the past 2 expansions. Not because she is such a great bad guy, but because she is written so horribly and just trash all around. So Blizzard decides to make her the focus of the next expansion... genius.

1  EddingtonDidNothingW 2019-11-01

Blizzard writing has been a complete clownshow since like 2008, I personally like modern Sylvanas for no other reason but because she makes people who still care about the story and the writing of Blizzard games seethe so much. Hope the """rumors""" are true and she gets a Kerrigan-style redemption as a final fuck you to the fans.

God her character in Warcraft III was so annoying and I was so happy when she got turned into undead.

Chad move from blitztard.

Jesus the Overwatch 2 cope is real. Everyone is arguing it's not a glorified xpac when it's clearly just one added mode with slightly tweaked graphics solely there to cuck blizzcels out of 60 bucks.

1  slugulon 2019-11-01

Well it's a single player thing. The price tag might be justified if there's a lot of content. Like ~20 hours plus replayability

1  DeadlyRNG 2019-11-01

It's gonna be 5 hours and single player wave mode, calling it now.

I knew it, no one cares about Hong Kong anymore lmao.

1  i_Chapo-d_my_pants 2019-11-01

since they killed the HotS esports thing they've been avoiding talk about HotS

1  i_Chapo-d_my_pants 2019-11-01
