Was playing earlier today as dps (an off role but trying to practice), I was in VC trying to coordinate with the team. I said “Orisa you’re by yourself back up”, and said player realized I’m female from my voice and said “ok babe”, and any time I used vc afterwards, even if I wasn’t talking to the Orisa, said player ended every sentence with “babe”. Was creepy as fuck. Please don’t do this.

Edit: I’m going to stop responding to comments only bc there are too many coming in so fast lol but I hear all y’all.

    This isn’t flirting. He called it like he seen it. You two are now in a relationship.

    They are just doing it to make you mad. Not flirting, but more so “oh a female is in vp, lets act like idiots”.

    Absolutely nothing in this interaction suggests flirting.

    It is a perfectly normal interaction with a person using a word that is commonly used as a pronoun. Same as dear, love, ma’am, sir, dude, boy, man, love, sweetie, and the list goes on and on.

    This may not be the case in your particular milieu, but it is extremely common.

    If flirting isn’t reciprocated, don’t do it anywhere.

    No 1 tip to climb and improve in this game. Turn off voice and text chat, it’s never worth it.

    Happened to me too! Someone called me lady every other sentence and asked where I’m from, the other guys in vc were so nice tho, telling him to not do that and back off. I didn’t have to say anything, but decent players exist too

    man i’m so used to this, it’s horrid. unfortunately, it won’t stop and what i do is just embarrass them by replying either with ‘ew’ or ‘are you okay?’, usually works and they don’t say much else for the rest of the game. make them feel weird and embarrassed and it usually gets them :’) had one dude recently tell a guy they were being creepy and a loser for flirting with me over vc, but it’s rare for anyone to stand up for you tbh so it’s up to you. worst comes to worst, leave vc.
