it appealed to a lot of people who've never played an online pvp game before, and stuck them into the same matchmaker as people like me who've been taking abuse through their headset since they were very young. things like adding private profiles by default, no real scoreboard, quickly-evaporating match history, etc are clearly to coddle the former group and the game suffers as a competitive experience for it.

I have never played another online game with as many people who hide from voice chat, shut down at the very first sign of criticism, are terrified of having their play commented on in any way, etc than in Overwatch. It isn't even close.

One time in a stack of people I only somewhat knew, I played the old "good players on fire" joke. Immediately one of them typed a paragraph about how hurtful that was and how they felt personally targeted. A couple other people even rushed to her defense.

This would never happen in another game like this. Seriously.

he can pull like crazy when he wants to so i'm sure it's not that he lowkey wants to stay with her, it's more like some weird-ass power move he's making since she's desperate to get back into the relationship somehow

i feel like he's choosing to play her now that she played him rather than just walking away like an adult and idk

Some people just want to live a quiet life even if they get challenged, and will only get involved if their hand is forced.

You know, I remember this one anime character. He was the villain. He lived in a good part of town and followed a set schedule for when he'd get home and get to bed by. He was healthy at his last checkup and didn't smoke but would occasionally would drink. He'd do some exercise and drink a glass of milk and sleep peacefully every night. All he wanted to do was live a quiet life, free of any problems like enemies or winning or losing. But if he were to fight, he wouldn't lose.

Apathy. Unless it affects them directly they don't care at all because there's no reason they need to care.
