    You should try typing 'Blight is a mobile killer' after facing one. I did that once and felt horrible but recalling it now, well, fix your censor lel.

    it's just as bad in English. I honestly think at this stage it just bans a certain percentage of typed words regardless of content. I've seen "you" and "am" censored in the same sentence homophobic and racist slurs were shown.

    If the filter is this ineffective at least give us the option to opt out...

    I'm a console player but it seems absolutely pointless it should be improved and be a optional toggle

    People have been mocking and berating their chat filter system since its inception and they never cared. Seems like it's here to stay because... reasons.

    Well having a chat censor in a game rated for adults was always strange still its there due to hatespeech more than it is for minors

    Even if it worked properly and only censored hatespeech - wouldn't it be better to be able to see what's being said so we can report those saying it?

    I know they don't monitor end game chat unless it's reported so it really is pointless...

    are they that incompetent they can just not black list words in especific and thats it? and all possible "variations" people want to create so they can get used? literally, bhvr always doing the bare minimum... banning words like that is unnaceptable, u cant even speak.

    Yes. They really are that incompetent. 0 thought went into the chat censor design and implementation. Like most of the game.

    I honestly dont think they themselves picked what was being censored they probably bought a packaged chat blocker or something. A lot of companies do this so they dont have to waste time in setting it up themselves. I do think they need to figure out why it censors certain character names tho. You also should say they are doing the bare minimum as alot of companies do this and it takes time in order to figure what shouldnt be banned or change the output from #
