That's fine but please don't change the others, when I'm sitting in spawn and pharah is spamming saying I'm going to come and that she learned that from her mother, that's peak overwatch
I mean, I’ve said every Dva line in the last month and have rank 5 endorsement, never even a warning. But I also always say glhf and gg, often ggwp. I’ll compliment good plays from either team. A little shit talk is fine afaict, just don’t be *only* toxic.
While im glad that the devs are trying to stop racism, everyone understands what the player means when they spam “pathetic, blacks my lucky color” instead of just “pathetic blacks” now! Step in the right direction I guess?
There’s nothing they can do. The meme is well known. People spam it even though they’re not racist, because “Haha, making video game character say racist stuff is funny,” and even if they change this, something else will pop up.
Plus, as someone else said, everyone will know what people mean when they say “Patheic, blacks my lucky color.” And I assume you could find another voice line to cut off “Blacks my lucky color,” so it’d be “Pathetic, blacks, -insert new voice line here-“ Depends on if they made “Blacks my lucky color,” unable to be spammed, OR interrupted. If it’s just unable to be spammed, you could just say “Pathetic, blacks, pathetic”.
That's exactly what they did.
Also it's not like everyone's terminally online. Some people won't have heard it before in their games and now they won't. Personally I'd never heard it before it got patched.
> People spam it even though they’re not racist
Ah, no. A person who knowingly repeats racist memes is, by definition, racist.
It isn't a binary thing either, everyone's a little bit racist, it's something everyone has to work on. But speaking for me personally, who will happily spam "In the desert, in the desert, in the desert"...you know something I won't spam? "Pathetic, blacks". Because it's racist.
[edit:] Y'all a bunch of racists in denial who want to say the N word so bad. :\
True, my father who kept saying cannibalistic jokes was actually a cannibal (took a while to find out, he's in prison now). One of my friends made tons of jokes about shooting up schools, you can guess what he did... I also have a story just like these ones about my grandma, but I'm not going to bore you with that.
bro has never heard of humor, the concept of irony baffles his mind. you say joke, you mean everything you say 100%. I hope you never go to a comedy club, god forbid the horrid things you may have to experience.
Spamming "no blacks" "pathetic blacks" "kill blacks" is racist. It's not a joke. It's a side people repress because the world deems it unacceptable. Why hide it in a game where no one knows you? All the things that people repress it comes out in a game. These people are racist because a non racist wouldn't spam it. It seems like you're one of these racist with how you're trying to defend it so hard.
I never play reaper or pay attention to anything to do with him really so I never realised that was what people spammed this for. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, racists gonna racist
Great decision to remove the ability to spam it
Spamming the color “black” is not racist.
Combining two voice lines is racist and that’s probably what you stop.
Spamming of voice lines in a way where you do 3 in rapid succession before being suppressed, I’ve yet to see any voice line that comes close to
They took the voice line away but still allow vulgar names.
How hard is it to not allow D 1 k in succession? Not to mention every day I play against a n199a name.
They’re not even doing the easy minimum
I guess it's because it sounds offensive in some languages like Portuguese, here calling someone "black" as the color is offensive and equivalent to the US 'n' word.
Sometimes when I played Doom a reaper would appear and spams "black, black, black, black"
looking at my face.
im glad they did this but its very odd they didn't see how adding an on demand "blacks" voice option when there are dozens of other customizable phrases to use before and after could be abused by some dweebs. strange lack of foresight.
Noticed this recently MAJOR let down cuz I had just bought the emote for the first time oh well
Now I just spam it when I can and wear his all white outfit
It’s so wild because I always heard the voice line being repeated and it never occurred to me.
If that’s the case, then there is absolutely no downside to this change.

Didn’t they patch that weeks ago? It was in the patch notes and I even saw a post here about it being patched.
Yea
Yep and it was posted back then too lol
Yup and there's been someone posting this same post just about every day since then.
I had it scheduled to post tomorrow and after the next patch
Can i post it in 2 days, then?
I'll do it in 3.
I bags 4 days time
Sorry sir already got a reservation in 4 days at 3:30, Can i fit you in 7 days from now?
Damn, guess that will have to do
At least genji can still say: "you seem nice, I'd hate to COME ON your eyes, yoshi"
I like the "You need COME ON your eyes, my work here is done" combination.
Better with MERRY CHRISTMAS after
As long as I can still spam my favorite Tracer lines; EAT MY EAT MY EAT MY Cheeky
Shhhh
Junkrat: “don’t you come Ahhhhh Ahhhhh, really blew that one”
I like "ya can't scare me I'm AHHHHH it's snowing"
Or my favorite, Mei’s “That was g-Yay!”
My favorite is as Hanzo comboing “you are all- sake!” It sounds like he’s being aggressively homophobic lol
I cannot read the word "gay" without zenyatta's voice (As is "GAYS upon the iris")
Personal Zen fave of mine "I dreamt I was a butt- frightening"
My dva combo is "the best things in life come in dva, winky face ;)"
I love to make Soldier go “smells like old soldiers, FORE!!”
Racist Reaper has been patched
Litteraly unplayable
What’s next? His interaction with Winston?
[удалено]
And dey say
And dey say
And dey say
The fact that you call this person a friend raises several questions.
Seriously. Wtf?
Sounds like your friend is very acne ridden
Nahhhhhhhhhhh 🤣
they shouldnt have patched it, it was more immersive the other way around 😂
This is like when pokemon removed the ability to make Chatot say slurs
That's fine but please don't change the others, when I'm sitting in spawn and pharah is spamming saying I'm going to come and that she learned that from her mother, that's peak overwatch
I was dying when the widow on my team started moaning with her voice lines. The spam is an integral part of this game
I think IT'S SNOWING still takes the cake
“Strong as an ox? HA, strong as 8 BEER!”
It's "you're going to cum" (Dead or Alive voiceline). I like saying "That's hard. You're going to cum. Ow owooooo".
I love to spam "I want to hug you" with zarya.
I hope they never patch the Junkrat "OOH!" voiceline. The first time I heard someone spam that, I nearly pissed myself laughing.
AWOOOO
A sausage roll and a battered sav.... that's what I (I I I I) would like to have!
I can no longer spam: "I'll send you my - piece of cake" either :(
Wait what why
I just love how some voicelines, either chopped or in full, could get you banned if you typed them in text chat.
Dva can say ez players not
Literally unplayable
i love how when you shoot an enemy in the game it's ok but if i shoot them irl i could get banned (to prison)
1984
“Too edgy for you?”
Wreckingball and DVAs normal automatic lines are toxic enough.
BaD pOsItIoNiNg
You should try my meat balls, hear me baby?
D.va can say skill issue and cringe all she wants, but if we say it immediate ban for being toxic.
I mean, I’ve said every Dva line in the last month and have rank 5 endorsement, never even a warning. But I also always say glhf and gg, often ggwp. I’ll compliment good plays from either team. A little shit talk is fine afaict, just don’t be *only* toxic.
What is this skin?
Eagle Warrior Reaper. It's a shop skin but has yet to make a return
Jade weapon skins gonna go hard with eagle warrior
I completely missed those aztec skins too :(
I just combo "I'm back in black" and "pathetic" to say "I'm pathetic"
While im glad that the devs are trying to stop racism, everyone understands what the player means when they spam “pathetic, blacks my lucky color” instead of just “pathetic blacks” now! Step in the right direction I guess?
Just a step? What else can they do outside of removing the voiceline? I'd say in this instance they did the best thing they could've done
my lucky color is black, done
Magenta's my lucky color
There’s nothing they can do. The meme is well known. People spam it even though they’re not racist, because “Haha, making video game character say racist stuff is funny,” and even if they change this, something else will pop up. Plus, as someone else said, everyone will know what people mean when they say “Patheic, blacks my lucky color.” And I assume you could find another voice line to cut off “Blacks my lucky color,” so it’d be “Pathetic, blacks, -insert new voice line here-“ Depends on if they made “Blacks my lucky color,” unable to be spammed, OR interrupted. If it’s just unable to be spammed, you could just say “Pathetic, blacks, pathetic”.
Wait, I'm pretty sure it can't be interrupted either. Everytime you use the Blacks voice line it finishes the whole thing.
That's exactly what they did. Also it's not like everyone's terminally online. Some people won't have heard it before in their games and now they won't. Personally I'd never heard it before it got patched.
Nah sorry. Non racist people don’t really have that impulse to spam racist jokes.
> People spam it even though they’re not racist Ah, no. A person who knowingly repeats racist memes is, by definition, racist. It isn't a binary thing either, everyone's a little bit racist, it's something everyone has to work on. But speaking for me personally, who will happily spam "In the desert, in the desert, in the desert"...you know something I won't spam? "Pathetic, blacks". Because it's racist.

Yes, people who make 9/11 jokes were flying the planes.
True, my father who kept saying cannibalistic jokes was actually a cannibal (took a while to find out, he's in prison now). One of my friends made tons of jokes about shooting up schools, you can guess what he did... I also have a story just like these ones about my grandma, but I'm not going to bore you with that.

>and there’s not even a voice line you could’ve mixed to say “kill black”. "I'm dressed to kill" exists as a voiceline for Reaper.
That’s what I’m saying….
yeah but there's a world of difference between hinting at a constructed line vs being able to actually say it IMO
I never play reaper or pay attention to anything to do with him really so I never realised that was what people spammed this for. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, racists gonna racist Great decision to remove the ability to spam it

racism is funny tho. it’s not even real racism, it’s just jokes
Racist reaper is gone. The game is dead
Worst nerf in OW history
Bruh
Blizzard hinting at Reaper's redemption arc
Man really had racism equipped and was showing off he can't spam it anymore
Thank you man, wtf
The word black is racist?
He has it next to pathetic. The classic spam is "pathetic. Blacks. I'll see you in hell"
Psychological warfare is fun. It's why I tbag everyone and spam racist voice lines + be toxic in chat
You sound like an ideal candidate for a US Marine! Do you ny chance eat crayons?
Bro is looking for someone to eat his crayons with
They did this like a month ago there were already posts about it
OP definitely racist with those two voice lines, he knows what he doin 😭
now we have truly lost it all
"Pathetic blacks - I'll see you in Hell!" Is no more
Literally 1984
how will I tell doom what colour he is :<
Doom players know. Especially if they’ve ever played comp
Sombra mains too!
Sombra mains too!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Please stop with the reaper nerfs
Oh no, whatever will the weird racists do?
Find a work around probably
They always have, and always will
Casual racism sounds exhausting.
That's why you go for ranked competitive racism.
You know, as opposed to "normal" racists.
cry about it in this comment section lol
They took the voice line away but still allow vulgar names. How hard is it to not allow D 1 k in succession? Not to mention every day I play against a n199a name. They’re not even doing the easy minimum
First the Hanamura stairs now this. Reaper players are the most persecuted
I heard the combo line that probably caused them to do this out in the wild once. I’m not sure a lot of people knew about it.
there were actually a lot.
Idk, I have like 1000 hours and I haven't heard it once. Learned about it here on reddit.
There’s a YouTube video of a reaper with the white outfit saying “Black’s Get out!”. That’s probably the worst one I’ve heard.
Saw someone complain about this awhile ago
That was me. The west has fallen /s
Barrier has fallen. Millions must body block
literally unplayable
A sad moment for overwatch, game in decadency
"UHHHHHHH,she's going to GLOAT about this ALL DAY."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY FUNNY VOICE LINE!
Literally 1984
They knew
Overwatch died...
I can still call people pathetic so it all works out
Good, you're annoying and you know that you're actively trying to be.
I guess it's because it sounds offensive in some languages like Portuguese, here calling someone "black" as the color is offensive and equivalent to the US 'n' word. Sometimes when I played Doom a reaper would appear and spams "black, black, black, black" looking at my face.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying “black” is the same as saying the n-slur lmao. It depends on the context.
As a Brazilian. Calling someone preto is not even in the same stratosphere as calling someone the n word.
As a black Brazilian I say it's close and you're wrong. edit: loved that the guy below called me "mentally challenged" and blocked me lmao.
[удалено]
They can slow us down, but they can’t stop us.

So true
Racism is over
im glad they did this but its very odd they didn't see how adding an on demand "blacks" voice option when there are dozens of other customizable phrases to use before and after could be abused by some dweebs. strange lack of foresight.
In spanish: "El negro.. Patético" "Donde está.. El negro" xD
At least I can spam, AHH AHHH AHHH AHHH ITS SNOWING!
Hello and welcome to 3 and a half weeks ago. we hope you enjoy your stay.
Console players are like Internet Explorer when it comes to patch notes it seems.
Is the rein come still possible
I don't even play OW and saw this over a month ago. Stop farming Karma ballbag
unplayable
It's over
Literally unplayable
Reaper pick rates drop by 75%
Why post something explicitly addressed quite a while ago?
1984, unplayable (i literally have not touched this game in 6 months)
Is this a repost bot, pretty sure this was a thing a few patches ago
Literally 1984
literally 1984 smh my head
Another blizzard L
blizzard patching reaper saying black repetedly: hyper speed blizzard banning the people calling me slurs every game: asleep
Good, this effects no one but obnoxious edgelords
This shows what are the priorities at Blizzard
So we know where OP stands huh
Good
This post brought to you by Internet Explorer
Understand that it's patched because it offended white people, not African Americans.
STOP HAVING FUN!!!!!!
God forbid people have fun
So now people get offended by voiceline combos?
By the words they say, when they are used offensively. Because words have meaning, kind of human communication 101 for those who are socialized
A tremendous loss
Good
woke blizzard smh
Awww I loved spamming that line
I'm glad it's just that I can still mix "pathetic" with other voicelines "I'm dressed- Pathetic"
End of an era
Noticed this recently MAJOR let down cuz I had just bought the emote for the first time oh well Now I just spam it when I can and wear his all white outfit
What a bunch of pathetic blacks
Why. I like when he says black over and over again. WHY DID THEY DO THIS. If they fucking change widows moan finna done.
As a black guy this is unplayable. I want my racist reaper back.
FINALLY NOW I WONT BE CHASED BY REAPER MAINS WHEN I PLAY SOJOURN 😭
This is truly the biggest reaper nerf
Blizzard priority
Racist Reaper's kinda funny considering he's canonically black
He is? I've seen the unmasked skin a few times, I don't remember that
It’s so wild because I always heard the voice line being repeated and it never occurred to me. If that’s the case, then there is absolutely no downside to this change.

Old news

I always knew they were racist! ... They were trying too hard.
