For Honor: Globales Event steht an – mit Stahl-Prämie

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Starting today, on March 24th, there is an event in For Honor . The reward is steel. Call to Arms!

In For Honor, a countdown is currently running that ends at 5 PM our time. Then, a global event called “Event Command” is supposed to start.

If the community manages to complete the task within a certain timeframe, each participant will receive 2000 steel. According to Ubisoft, there will also be a collector’s chest available.

Call to Arms

You need to finish 800,000 Arm Matches (player vs. player) on PS4, 700,000 on Xbox One, and 400,000 on PC. From Friday at 5 PM, you will have just under 60 hours to do this. Arm is the 2v2 mode in For Honor.

By the way: This is not the first community event. At the beginning of March, a “Call to Domination” started. In that event, you had to complete 5,700,000 Domination matches. The reward was 1000 steel and a collector’s chest.

disconnects

In advance, a user on Reddit showed what today’s command could look like:

The goal is to gather massive amounts of disconnections. However, the community has long since achieved this goal. With this, he criticizes the server issues and disconnections, which have been the biggest point of criticism since the launch of For Honor, alongside the horrendous steel prices . A user mockingly asks in the comments whether this was really a community command. Because he has already reached the goal by himself.

Pokémon GO – Magikarp Hat: With Fish as a Hat, You’re Totally on Trend

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The new eye-catcher in the mobile gaming world is the Magikarp hat in Pokémon GO. Are you already wearing this eye-catching accessory?

In the coming days, the developers of Pokémon GO will entice you with a special event in the augmented reality world. During the Water Festival, you have an increased chance of encountering Water-type Pokémon like Squirtle, Magikarp, or Croconaw or their evolutions. In line with this fun event, the developers are offering a Fish Hat for free for your avatar.

Magikarp Hat in Pokémon GO

The fashionable Magikarp hat is unlocked for every Trainer and can be donned in the game with just a few clicks. The Magikarp hat doesn’t provide any noticeable advantage, even though many Trainers hope that the accessory increases the chance of finding a shiny Pokémon. However, this is still just a superstition that hasn’t been confirmed.

The Shinies have been seen in the game for a few days and so far only in the form of Magikarp and Gyarados.

Pokémon GO Magikarp Hat2

To put the Magikarp hat on your avatar, follow these steps:

  • Start Pokémon GO and click on your Trainer icon in the lower left corner
  • Now click on the menu button in the lower right corner
  • There, select the third option “Customize”
  • A summary of possible categories such as hats, glasses, tops, and so on will appear
  • Select “Hats”
  • In the selection bar, you will find the Magikarp hat
  • Select the Fish Hat and click on save
  • Then the hat should be saved, and you can leave the avatar customization via the X symbols.
  • On the map and next to your buddy Pokémon, your Trainer will now appear with the fun Magikarp hat.

In the game, this hat can cause confusion. On Reddit, Trainers are reporting that they clicked on the hat because they thought it was a wild Magikarp. So be sure to look closely if you think a wild Magikarp has spawned right next to you and is behaving suspiciously quietly.

Absolver: PvP-Duelle und individuelle Kampfstile im Gameplay-Video

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

New gameplay footage for Absolver has been released, showcasing PvP battles and customization options.

If you enjoy melee games and online games, you should keep an eye on Absolver. This “Online Multiplayer Combat RPG” is being developed by Slocap, a team of experienced programmers, designers, and artists. The publisher is Devolver Digital. Absolver is set to be released in 2017 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Via IGN, we now get the most detailed look at the online melee game so far. Some core mechanics, the combat system, PvP encounters, and customization options are showcased:

What can we expect from Absolver?

Absolver will not be a mindless brawler where you mash buttons and swing wildly. Instead, it focuses on refined “Martial Arts” combat. The battles are tactical with combos, “combat choreographies”, and opportunities for parrying and dodging.

Weapons and armor pieces also play a role, allowing you to take weapons from opponents during a fight and use them yourself. For the armor pieces, you need to decide whether to be well-equipped or agile. The higher the protection, the heavier the item, and the slower you are.

You play as a masked fighter who must prove himself worthy of becoming an “Absolver” in an open world filled with other players and NPCs. Throughout your journey, you will encounter other players with whom you can team up or battle. Duels and even 3v3 matches are possible. This way, your character learns new moves that you can combine into combos.

absolver-kampf

There are PvE and PvP battles.

According to the developers, the battles are fluid and dynamic. Initially, they are simple and intuitive, but as the game progresses, your skills become increasingly complex. Since each player can customize their combos and fighting style, you never know what to expect in the next duel.

We have already extensively covered Absolver in the mentioned link. Here you can find out what Absolver is and what features it offers.

Overwatch: Orisas Debüt im eSport – Ein kurzes Vergnügen

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The new Overwatch heroine Orisa made her debut in a professional tournament. However, it did not go well for the Omnic lady.

The latest hero of Overwatch, Orisa, arrived in the live version of the game last week. However, she cannot yet be used in ranked mode, as Blizzard wants players to gather a bit of experience with her in quick play first.

Overwatch Orisa Twitchchat

However, different rules often apply in professional tournaments. Here, organizers can set their own guidelines and determine which heroes are available. During the “North-American Carbon Series” tournament, a bold decision was made.

Players had been repeatedly selecting Orisa in the spawn room all day, only to switch to a “real” hero at the last moment.

No wonder the commentators were thrilled when Orisa was selected by “Juv3nile” from Team Renegade and actually taken into battle.

The Twitch chat also reacted with excitement when someone finally played the new hero.

The heroic moment, however, lasted only a brief moment. As soon as Juv3nile reached the objective, he was mowed down by the opposing Reinhardt. It was embarrassing, as Orisa is actually a direct counter to Reinhardt, since she can block his charge with an ability.

The respective play starts at around 3:31:30.

Basically, Orisa behaves as Sombra did back then. For the first few weeks, there will likely be only tentative attempts to try out the new hero. It will take weeks or even months for players to truly figure out when and how to best use Orisa.

Currently, Blizzard is testing a new anti-abuse system for reporting toxic players in Overwatch.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – So funktioniert die Reliktentschlüsselung

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The relic decryption in Mass Effect: Andromeda is puzzling. However, the solution is almost always simple.

The Mass Effect series has always been known for its small mini-games. Sometimes you had to hack doors, then scan planets, or earn money playing slot machines.

In Mass Effect: Andromeda, there are only a few mini-games, but they do require a bit of brain power. Many players struggle with the relic decryption, which is basically simple if you understand the system. It’s really nothing more than Sudoku, which you might already know from puzzle books (that every mother and grandmother has at home).

Important: Wild experimenting without thinking leads to failure. Almost always, there is a particularly valuable treasure behind the relic decryption with many weapons or resources. Those who fail either cause many enemies to appear or can block the respective treasure completely.

How does relic decryption work?

The puzzle field consists of 4×4 squares (16 fields), in which one of four glyphs must be placed in each. The puzzle is considered solved if no glyph appears more than once in any horizontal line, vertical line, or smaller 2×2 square. That’s really the only rule: No glyph may appear twice in any box or in any row or column.

Mass Effect Andromeda Remnant Sudoku
Example 1: This is how it should look. In a 2×2 square, each symbol may appear only once.

The start of the puzzle is the most important, because once the first field is filled correctly, the rest comes almost by itself. Look for a row, column, or 2×2 square where 3 out of 4 glyphs are already present. If that’s the case, the solution is simple: The last empty spot in that area is for the glyph that hasn’t been used yet.

Mass Effect Andromeda Remnant Sudoku 3
3 out of 4 fields are filled. The last empty spot is the glyph that hasn’t been used yet.

It’s a bit more difficult when only 2 glyphs are already set in an area. Then you must also pay attention to the surrounding fields and consider whether one of the two free spots has already been logically excluded. Can you place a glyph in a 2×2 square that already appears in the same row or column? Then it’s definitely the wrong one – leaving only one candidate.

Mass Effect Andromeda Remnant Sudoku 2
The marked glyph already appears in 3 columns and 3 rows. Thus, there is only one free spot left where it can fit a 4th time (white box).

Later in the game, there are some larger puzzles, but they follow the same principle.

One last tip: If you don’t feel like “guessing” the puzzle, you can simply skip the entire gameplay mechanic. There is an item called “Remnant Decryption Key” at some merchants and in chests. This can be used in corresponding Remnant relic decryptions to solve the puzzle directly. It couldn’t be easier.

Mass Effect Andromeda Remnant Decryption Key
Don’t want to guess? This item takes care of that.

We also have a guide for crafting in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Warframe: Octavia is coming – Action spectacle celebrates with anthem

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The action game Warframe (PC, PS4, Xbox One) celebrates its birthday next week. Along with it, a major content update for PC is coming.

Warframe is an underdog story. The studio Digital Extremes was backed against the wall, and the coffers were empty. There was no money left to promote the new game “Warframe”. Particularly in free-to-play games and MMOs, the initial hype upon launch is considered crucial for success.

Yet the nearly silent-launched free-to-play co-op spectacle Warframe became thanks to outstanding word-of-mouth a hit overnight.

The game has now been around for four years, and it has steadily improved – by the end of 2016, “The War Within” marked its previous peak. By now, Warframe is one of those “free-to-play” success stories that young developers look up to when trying to make it in the industry with their games.

warframe2

Warframe will celebrate its fourth birthday next Tuesday, March 28, with the new content update “Octavia’s Anthem.” It will initially be released for PC. With a few weeks delay, it will then also release for PS4 and Xbox One. This is standard for Warframe.

What Octavia can do – Skills of the new Warframe

Octavia’s Anthem is update 20. This brings the long-awaited “Bard Frame”, named Octavia. With Octavia, players can compose their own songs.

Octavia has the abilities, quoting the official page:

  • Strummer – deals rhythmic damage to nearby enemies and draws their fire. Damage caused by the “Strummer” increases its lethality.
  • Resonator – starts a disco ball that encourages enemies to follow it. Combined with “Strummer”, it becomes a wandering ball of acoustic destruction.
  • Metronome: gives an advantage to those who perform actions in time with Octavia’s music. Timely jumps grant the Vivace speed boost. Ducking in rhythm provides the Nocturne invisibility. Rhythmic firing grants the Opera multishot. Timely melee swings give the Forte damage bonus.
  • Amplifier: feeds on the decibel strength of the sound in the environment and uses it to enhance the damage of Octavia and her allies. It also doubles the damage and range of nearby strummers.
Octavia-Warframe

What else is in the new update U 20 – Octavia’s Anthem

Also in update 20:

  • the new quest “Octavia’s Anthem”
  • two new weapons for the Octavia Warframe – the Pandero, a semi-automatic pistol, and the Tenora, an automatic rifle
  • and a “Capture Feature” that allows players to make impressive screenshots.
Gewehr-Tenora

To celebrate the birthday, there’s also a comic that you can check out here at Warframe, along with further information.

Dauntless: The first Alpha starts – Sign up here!

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Many are looking forward to the multiplayer action RPG Dauntless, as it promises to be a mix of Monster Hunter and Dark Souls with a cooperative mode.

The game is nearing completion, and the developers have announced that they will start the first alpha as early as April.

The alpha is intended to be closely aligned with the developers’ needs. For example, they plan to allow about 500 players to engage in a fight against the monster Drask. The battles are expected to last one day. Afterward, the team will analyze all the feedback and implement it to improve this combat experience.

dauntless-monster
The alpha is very focused and compressed

During the alpha, new weapons and armor may be unlocked to test how these affect the balancing. This alpha is meant to provide a very compressed gameplay experience and allow the development team to focus on balancing.

Players will not see all aspects of the action RPG yet. Participants will be selected based on their hardware and game preferences. Registration is already available through the official Dauntless website.

The alpha will continue through the summer

Dauntless Monster

The first alpha is set to start at the end of April, with a specific date still to be announced by the team. This type of short and focused alpha phases is expected to continue throughout the summer.

Subsequently, the beta for Dauntless is expected to begin in the fall, and with some luck, Dauntless will officially launch before the end of the year.

The Division: M4 Lightweight Version – Grab this assault rifle now

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, you can purchase a blueprint for the M4 – Light version for a limited time. What can this assault rifle do?

For months, agents have been waiting for the special blueprint vendor to bring a blueprint of the M4. The M4 is considered one of the best assault rifles in the game – especially the LVOA-C.

In recent days, the special blueprint vendor at the terminal has been generous to the agents. Last week, he brought a blueprint of the M4, and this week he brought it again. Tomorrow, on March 25th, the next vendor reset will occur. If you want to own this coveted blueprint, you should act quickly today. It is unlikely that he will bring the M4 blueprint again next week.

  • For 1082 Phoenix Credits, you can acquire the blueprint of the M4 – Light version with an equipment value of 256.

What makes the M4 special in The Division?

Many agents consider the M4s to be the best assault rifles in the game. A look at the chart by WOBO shows that the Urban-MDR is statistically superior to the M4s, but this semi-automatic assault rifle is not for everyone. If you prefer fully automatic fire, you go for an M4.

division-sturmgewehrestats
division stats m4

The M4s have an extremely high rate of fire. Here are the base stats:

Like the LVOA-C, the M4 – Light version pulls strongly upward, but hardly to the left or right. This means that the recoil of this weapon is relatively easy to control, making many headshots possible. With stability bonuses, you can make the gun significantly more stable. To prevent the reticle from opening too quickly, you should focus on accuracy mods. This way, you’ll hit better at distance.

The advantage of the blueprint is that you can craft an M4 for as long as you need until you have the perfect roll – or until you run out of materials. For talents, Competent, Receptive, Retaliatory, Connoisseur, or Brutal are recommended. We present the best weapon talents in PvE and PvP here.

By the way: Currently, the blueprint vendor also has a blueprint for the ACR assault rifle on offer. However, the M4 is the clearly better choice. The maximum base damage and magazine size of both weapons are identical, but the M4 has a higher rate of fire, better precision, stability, and range. Only the reload speed of the ACR is a bit better.

My MMO asks: How do you like Mass Effect: Andromeda?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Everyone is playing Mass Effect: Andromeda. Therefore, we at Mein-MMO want to know: How do you like the RPG from BioWare?

For almost 3 days now, all fans of epic RPGs can dive back into the SciFi universe of Mass Effect and explore the Andromeda Galaxy. As soon as you have fought your way through the lengthy introduction, the game offers relatively a lot of freedom for exploration and making your own decisions. If you’re not in the mood for that yet, you can initially hang out with your colleagues in the cooperative multiplayer mode of the game and shoot down tons of Kett, Remnant, and Exiles.

Mass Effect Launch Trailer

We would now like to know from you: How do you like Mass Effect: Andromeda? Is it the expected RPG revelation or just a “solid snack” in between? And what have you spent your first hours on?

Cortyn says: For me, Mass Effect is a pretty good action RPG with a great story and wonderful characters, but it comes with some minor flaws. The faulty animations and the bugs that some players are complaining about can dampen the fun of the game a bit. As a “Mass Effect” fan, the game is a must-buy, and I haven’t regretted a minute I’ve spent on the RPG so far. And once I’ve completed all the side quests, the multiplayer is waiting for me, which will surely also take several weeks to months.

Overwatch Patch 2.08: Update for PS4 and Xbox One changes Orisa

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Hours ago, Patch 2.08 for Overwatch was released on PS4 and Xbox One, reactivating a game mode and making changes to Orisa.

The new Patch 2.08 for Overwatch was released a few hours ago and is about 300 MB in size. The developers fixed bugs in this update for PS4 and Xbox One and made changes to the latest hero Orisa.

Players used a trick with Orisa that no longer works.

Update 2.08 Patch Notes for Xbox One/PS4

The Capture The Flag mode is back in the game (PS4)

  • As the developers report, the Capture The Flag mode including maps is back in the game. Previously, there were issues that caused heroes to remain invisible in this mode, ruining the gaming experience.
Orisa-Efi

Champion Changes

  • Orisa – The developers originally planned for Orisa’s primary attack to slow her down – similar to D.Va. However, players found a trick in update 2.07 that prevented the slowing effect on Orisa. To do this, Orisa had to jump repeatedly while shooting to escape the slow. Since jumping did not negatively affect her aiming, players could easily exploit this trick.
  • Blizzard has fixed this bug, and Orisa will now also be slowed when she jumps while shooting.

Bug Fixes

  • PS4/XB1 – A bug that prevented background music from playing has been fixed. Apps like Spotify can now take over Overwatch’s background music, allowing you to listen to your favorite music in-game.
  • PS4/XB1 – A bug that displayed the enhanced damage value incorrectly has been fixed.
  • PS4/XB1 – Orisa’s movement speed is now slightly slowed when she shoots while in the air.

Elite Dangerous: Give your ship a nameplate – for money

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Frontier Developments will soon give you the opportunity to name your spaceship in the space online game Elite: Dangerous and to give it a nameplate – but this is not for free.

The spaceship Enterprise from Star Trek, the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, or the Rocinante from The Expanse… good ships need a name. And in the space online game Elite: Dangerous, you will soon have the chance to give your ship one. After all, it makes it all the more fun not only to take down a pilot, but also a spaceship that bears a special name.

elitedangerousps4
Show the name of your ship

Once it has a name, it will appear in multicrew groups and also in the HUD. Additionally, starting from beta 5, the name will be visible when other players scan you.

Naming the spaceship will be free, just like renaming it. However, if you also want to get a premium nameplate, you will need to purchase it. This will only have cosmetic effects.

You will have various packages available, which are organized by themes and designs. For each set, you will receive nine nameplates that can be applied to all your ships. One set is supposed to cost 2 Euros.

Nameplates for all your spaceships

If you buy a themed package, you can use this design for all your current and future ships. Theme packs are available in black, white, and gray designs. With this, the developers want to give players another opportunity to further customize their spaceship in Elite: Dangerous. If you have always wanted to give your ship a name and display it on a nameplate, then this update is made just for you.

Mass Effect: Andromeda – The Ugliest Accidents of the Character Editor

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Mass Effect: Andromeda you can be really ugly. How ugly, the worst examples are shown here.

The character editor of Mass Effect: Andromeda has been a target for ridicule and mockery from the community since the game’s early access. But now that the game has been released and more players can create their own Ryder twins, the full extent is becoming public. Too much freedom in character creation can also have negative effects, as a post on Kotaku clearly shows. There, the probably ugliest characters that can be created with the character creator of Mass Effect: Andromeda have been collected.

Actually, Ryder is humanity’s last hope in Andromeda, but not every player tries to give her a really acceptable appearance. For example, Twitter user FuzziestKitty has given Sara a rather creepy face.

https://twitter.com/FuzziestKitty/status/844645451278286848
Mass Effect Ryder Clown

Or how about the YouTuber BestAtNothing, who turned Ryder into a pretty unfunny circus clown you’d rather not meet in the dark?

A bit too much powder was probably given to the Ryder from TheDkmariolink—so that rather than a dramatic “waking up scene,” it turns into a continuation of Hangover.

The community is making a sincere effort to push the character editor to its limits, and it is taking quite strange forms. Who exactly would take the Ryder from Twitter user bajopants seriously? But maybe it’s a clever defense technique against particularly intrusive enemies.

WoW raises prices – 20% off everything (except subscriptions)

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard is significantly raising prices for most account services in World of Warcraft. We will tell you what you will have to pay soon.

In the past few weeks, fans of Hearthstone have had to deal with a price increase for card packs, and now Blizzard is also following suit with the MMORPG World of Warcraft. While the costs for a subscription are expected to remain stable and the WoW token will not experience a price increase, almost all other services will be charged with a significant markup.

  • Name change: 8€ 10€
  • Helmets (in shop): 12€ 15€
  • Character transfer: 20€ 25€
  • Race change: 20€ 25€
  • Mounts: 20€ 25€
  • Premium mounts: 20€ 25€
  • Bundle of house and mount: 26€ 30€

  • Character transfer & faction change: 45€ 50€
  • Character boost: 50€ 60€
  • Guild transfer & faction change: 55€ 65€
World of Warcraft: The most famous representative of P2P games

The price changes will take effect from April 5, 2017.

The community is far from thrilled about these price increases, and especially in the official forum, there are many unfriendly comments directed at Blizzard. People are urging the developers to compare their prices with those of other games (such as Final Fantasy XIV) and then reconsider whether that is really fair and justified.

Cortyn says: I believe that Blizzard is shooting itself in the foot with this. The negative PR that has already arisen from this will be hard to contain. I also find it questionable whether the increased prices will really yield more profits or if this will be offset by more players being put off by the prices.

The release of the next major patch is coming soon. Patch 7.2, The Tomb of Sargeras, has a release date!

For this, Bungie is bringing back the old raids and providing new and revamped Exotics and flashy gear.

  • Age of Triumph starts on March 28 at 7 PM. So not at the weekly reset, but in the evening.

New Offers from the Vendors, New Quest for Necrochasm

Bungie did not talk about the offers from the vendors during the livestreams. They are now following up with a letter to the community.

The Legendary Marks are supposed to have value again. Therefore, the weapons and armor pieces from the following vendors will receive new perks every week, the offerings will rotate:

  • Zavala, Cayde, Ikora
  • Vanguard Quartermaster
  • Lord Shaxx
  • Crucible Quartermaster
  • Dead Orbit
  • Future War Cult
  • New Monarchy
  • The Speaker, Variks, and Shiro will continue to have a weekly refresh as before.

It is also officially confirmed, what has already been circulating on Reddit since yesterday: The automatic rifle Necrochasm can be obtained in Age of Triumph with a new quest. What this looks like is still unknown.

Furthermore, Bungie provides more information about Age of Triumph:

  • The weapons and armor pieces from King’s Fall on normal difficulty will not be available through the 390 version of the raid. The non-tortured items can still be obtained from the original source.
  • Ornament Tokens and Master Exotics (Adept) will be obtained through the Challenges of the weekly featured raids.
  • On March 28, the Nightfall strike and the heroic strikes will not be available until the evening, until the launch of AoT. However, the weekly Crucible playlist cannot be turned off, yet you should not play this before AoT, so you don’t miss the Treasure of Ages – the new reward.
  • With Age of Triumph comes update 2.6.0, which aims to fix some issues, such as problems with the SIVA key fragments, the skeleton keys, and the super attacks.

In the end, DeeJ addresses all readers who had been expecting something different from “This Week at Bungie”. He writes: “One milestone after another, Guardians!” This refers to the “Destiny 2” leak that surfaced yesterday. Many Guardians hoped that Bungie would officially comment on it.

Destiny: Launch-Trailer zu Age of Triumph erschienen

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time < 1 minutes

The launch trailer for Age of Triumph is out for Destiny. You can watch it here.

Today there is a lot happening in Destiny. A leak is circulating about the sequel Destiny 2, showing a specific release date. It involves promo posters that hint at a beta.

Editors from Eurogamer and Kotaku immediately spoke up and said: Yes, the leak is true! Destiny 2 is set to release on September 8. The official “Destiny 2” reveal is even supposed to take place today, according to Kotaku. However, Kotaku then backpedaled and corrected it to “soon”.

The “hype train” for Destiny 2 is picking up speed. This almost overshadows the launch trailer for the last content update of Destiny 1. Bungie has just released this.

Here is the launch trailer for Age of Triumph in German:

Overwatch: New reporting system with clear “Anti-Abuse” rules

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The reporting system of Overwatch gets clear rules. What can be reported and what cannot, you can now see in black and white.

Sooner or later, it’s the same in every online community. After the initial grace period is over, the tone in the chat gets rougher, and the behavior of some people gets worse. Those who do not get their way tend to troll the whole team or insult every player and their mothers without hesitation.

Therefore, there has been a reporting system in Overwatch for a while now, allowing players to report toxic players. This system works in principle, but it has also been misused in the past to punish players for trivial reasons.

Overwatch Winston Primal Rage

On the current PTR of Overwatch, the system has now been significantly improved and supplemented with categories. Additionally, each category now has a clear description of what can be reported under this point and what does not belong here.

An example is the category “Bad Teamwork,” where Blizzard lists what falls under it:

“Bad teamwork is: Not trying to fulfill the map objectives or constantly communicating negatively in the chat (Example: “This team is terrible”).”

Bad teamwork is not: Playing a hero that the community does not perceive as optimal or being silent in voice chat.”

In the past, Blizzard has already announced that they want to penalize those who misuse the reporting system by reporting other players without a valid reason. Presumably, the precise description of the categories is a first step to clearly inform both reporters and toxic players about what is allowed and what is not.

What do you think about this expansion of the reporting system? Is it exactly what Overwatch needed? Or just a fruitless attempt to get the problem of toxic players under control?

By the way, Blizzard is already considering a map editor – then players could create their own maps.
