Wow. After Lilbow's statement about his preparation for Blizzcon, he received a lot of disapproval and criticism, including from me.

Is it surprising that he'd benefit from a new scene when a significant portion of this community hates him despite all the great performances he gave? And for those still beating down on him: isn't losing his passion for SC2 already punishment enough? It's clear that he's had a miserable 2016. How much suffering do you have to observe him go through before you can forgive him for when he chose to transition to LotV and his departures from your etiquette? The hatred doesn't fit the transgressions. When you consider his positive contributions, the scale becomes even more unbalanced.

People who cannot let go at this point and move forward on to more productive rather than destructive behavior are hypocrites. It's like people thinking they're on the moral high ground saying "Stay classy!" when that's never a classy or productive thing to say. So go ahead and be assholes forever to a guy because of some mistakes he made but be aware that you're the ones in the gutter. And consider that if it only takes a few minor consistent imperfections, or a few mistakes, for you to hate a person forever, then you'll end up generating more hatred and negativity and destruction to the world than the targets of your punishment. It's an unreasonable way to behave that seems okay only because you've got a mob on your side. Think clearly for a second and stop being dicks.

Welcome to the era of memes, where you better be perfect in every way if you don't want to be the victim of basement dwellers thinking they're funny.

Let's look at the Reddit thread for this.

Don't worry guys... he will be back for Starcraft 3


+68
He's probably already started practicing for it. You know, no point in playing OW right now anyways


+79
So that means he will start practicing Quake Champions soon?


+23
Lilbow, you will be always in my heart.
[links to his Blizzcon Series]
Good luck with your new Life

I find it hard to take him seriously after the past year, does not seem a professional at all.
So let us meme!


+7
sorry bro, he decided to be a meme himself.


+44
oh man this meme will haunt him to his grave


+64
It's like he is purposely trying to become a meme


+
he'll ride that overwatch train for a year or so and then when the buzz/esports scene dies down (heroes anyone), he will look for something else that is the current hype train to jump on


+15
it's hysterical how bad he is a making a fan base for himself based on anything but his game play. Hope he figures that out if he wants any long term remembrance as anything but a sc2 meme.

+12
while he did play well when he was winning it was almost single handedly down to blink stalkers being broken in HotS.
Now they're not as good he fell off a cliff. I dont see him as a well rounded player that achieved great things, i see him as someone who was a 1 hit wonder winning in a meta that favored him


+3
He did blink stalker all-ins every game. No wonder he died with release of LotV


+11
His career died when they released the ravager and you couldn't do sentry abuse the entire game vs Zerg.


+6
I know, his play was insanely one dimensional.


+ Show Spoiler [outright hate] +

good riddance....

Glad this lad disappears from the SC scene, sad he switches to another Blizzard game. Which pro Overwatch team wants to pick up a no show like this anyway?

Maybe he should just retire from talking.

Im glad he retired. This badly designed game deserve to die.

"i know its blizzcon and its important but well, i didnt wanted to spend months practicing for one match while i can practice for 5+ years" Lilbow you are a JOKE LOL

buh bye lilbitch

I've seen a huge amount of negativity and agressive feelings in the TL forum.

I would say it is more the SC2 community in itself that became hugely negative and sometimes toxic, last few years.
Look at the CS:GO reddit, it is more funny, more constructive and you see a outright positive attitude towards the game and the actors involved.

Funny how everyone (even the redaction) likes to shit on the "patchzerg" like Sniper, Jonnyrecco who took way more "offensive" jokes than Lilbow but ppl gets over sensitive for one joke when the guy has acted like a cynical fool.
Very "classy" indeed.
Morevoer, even Lilbow jokes about it when he says "I'm always one step ahead" and stuff like this but hey, despite the fact he is probably ill at ease in media, he is still less repressed than the parangons of virtue who fight the vice in TL.

I'm gonna quote this because a few people seem to have just skipped over what I can only describe as a wonderful post. Stay classy fine sir


Other people here had better and more concise posts, than this gentleman who basically called others "hypocrite dicks", to use his words exactly. That's not a "fine sir" in my book

So do you think it's fine to continue ridiculing somebody far beyond the point of fairness? To take every opportunity the internet presents you to be a dick about someone you don't know, because you might get a few LOL's? He calls people hypocrites and dicks in his post because the words fit. When life presents you with a spade, you call it a spade.

It's an unreasonable way to behave that seems okay only because you've got a mob on your side. Think clearly for a second and stop being dicks.

Welcome to the era of memes, where you better be perfect in every way if you don't want to be the victim of basement dwellers thinking they're funny.

Let's look at the Reddit thread for this.

+ Show Spoiler [More hilarious memes] +

+82
Don't worry guys... he will be back for Starcraft 3


+68
He's probably already started practicing for it. You know, no point in playing OW right now anyways


+79
So that means he will start practicing Quake Champions soon?


+23
Lilbow, you will be always in my heart.
[links to his Blizzcon Series]
Good luck with your new Life


+3
I find it hard to take him seriously after the past year, does not seem a professional at all.
So let us meme!


+7
sorry bro, he decided to be a meme himself.


+44
oh man this meme will haunt him to his grave


+64
It's like he is purposely trying to become a meme


+
he'll ride that overwatch train for a year or so and then when the buzz/esports scene dies down (heroes anyone), he will look for something else that is the current hype train to jump on


+15
it's hysterical how bad he is a making a fan base for himself based on anything but his game play. Hope he figures that out if he wants any long term remembrance as anything but a sc2 meme.

+ Show Spoiler [Lilbow was a bad player] +

+12
while he did play well when he was winning it was almost single handedly down to blink stalkers being broken in HotS.
Now they're not as good he fell off a cliff. I dont see him as a well rounded player that achieved great things, i see him as someone who was a 1 hit wonder winning in a meta that favored him


+3
He did blink stalker all-ins every game. No wonder he died with release of LotV


+11
His career died when they released the ravager and you couldn't do sentry abuse the entire game vs Zerg.


+6
I know, his play was insanely one dimensional.


+ Show Spoiler [outright hate] +

+28
good riddance....


+13
Glad this lad disappears from the SC scene, sad he switches to another Blizzard game. Which pro Overwatch team wants to pick up a no show like this anyway?


+3

Lilbow is a heartless game whore

Hahahahaha. Pathetic. What a joke


+5
Who?

Good Riddance, no respect for his fans.

Moron with 9-year-old brain

Not a big loss

Maybe he should just retire from talking.

patchtoss down

Im glad he retired. This badly designed game deserve to die.

"i know its blizzcon and its important but well, i didnt wanted to spend months practicing for one match while i can practice for 5+ years" Lilbow you are a JOKE LOL

buh bye lilbitch


As is common to all forms of media, they never take responsibility for creating narratives. Apparently Lilbow himself decided to "become a meme". And I'm sure that the funny memes give cover to the abusive comments that you see in that thread.

the influence of a upvote /downvote system :D


I wish TL forums had the same system, then i could down vote the people who constantly post about their "version" of game balance into oblivion

Pretty much. Nothing discourages legitimate discussion as much as a +- system.

As far as I know he hasn't admitted he made a mistake in not practicing for blizzcon, so I say any jokes made about blizzcon at his expense are fair game.

There's another forum I used to post on which had the TL-style discussion board but with upvotes. I think it's a fairly non-intrusive way to add voting to a forum because you don't get the ability to sort by popularity and whatnot.

It has some advantages: it cuts down on some spam when people just want to agree with a post but don't have anything else to add; it's a way to resolve some discussions, since you like other posts even if you had an argument before; and for example, if people liked Nony's post (hidden on page 8-9) then they could have upvoted it and it would get a light border after +10 upvotes or something and it would be more noticeable to someone scanning the page, and; it discourages repeat posts of the same meme and sentiment later in threads.

I still felt dirty whenever I would get an upvote though, but I wouldn't mind if TL had something like that. But there are disadvantages to this system too.

edit: and for TL they could make it so only TL+ members would be allowed to upvote

On the other side many people won't post anymore because they want to add something to the discussion but because they are seeking for upvotes which encourages memeing/trolling/shitposting, also people get afraid of posting unpopular opinions because they know they'll get downvoted, then there are a ton of votes just depending on the (un)popularity of the poster, the list goes on and on.

I would never post on a forum with a +- system.

I don't know if it would work exactly like that. For one, the voting is optional and barely contributes to visibility of the post. Second, downvotes would not be allowed.

If I recall there is some psychological experiment along the following lines:

A person is placed in a group. He is told those other people are study participants, but in reality they are researchers. They are given an image of two lines, with one larger than the other. The group consensus becomes that the lines are equally long, and it's investigated whether the person will challenge group consensus. The results show that remarkably often the study participant will go along with a consensus he knows to be false, but also that the addition of only one other person speaking up hugely increases his willingness to fight for what he believes to be right.

I don't know if it went exactly like that, but it has some implications for juries and such.

Anyhow, point would be that if you post something unpopular, getting even a handful of upvotes could strengthen your resolve to stand for your opinion.

But if I'm honest I have to say I didn't like this concept much on that other site, because frequently I would get upvotes for stating the obvious, while if I made serious posts they would be ignored.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.
