#Changing nicknames is annoying

There is a group of people who love doing this and there are many of them, in general I don't care - if they like doing it, then let them do it, but it irritates me to try to understand who is who, moreover, they know my nickname and are in a more advantageous position.

The solution would be to display a list of all the player's nicknames if you hover over it with the cursor, and not use the !whois command, which does not even show the entire history of nickname changes.

Also, by nickname you can evaluate how a player plays, what main meta he uses, the one who changed his nickname is now unknown (until you determine who it is), and he knows how you play, because you did not change your nickname.

I like the feature but I agree that it is a problem for higher ranked 1v1 games (which I'm not part of 😄 )

Probably just wait for new lobby, it's going to have display names and static account names like Discord does

#

tl;dr there may or may not end up being display names

#

one solution (for either chobby or new client) is being able to give people your own custom nicknames that are tied to their userId so they always display the same for you

#

that's at least a lot more practical than storing and serving rename history, and requires no server/protocol work

Making people you have never played a game with before a certain color on thier name plate might be semi useful.

Idk how often you can change names atm but i see some people change them what feels like weekly. Should be at least 1 month between namechanges imo

How about no name changes at all, or fixed unchangeable name and behind that added changeable part, for clans etc. People who are griefing, trolling, toxic etc use name changes to better stab others in back. There are block function, but it is deliberatly built ineffective, because of some known storys in the past. And sometimes it is too much to block someone directly.

People use name change for clans (legit use case)

#

Besides that of course you may just have a name that you regret and want to change for whatever reason. Plenty of legit use cases for namechange

Personally I struggle to keep the names that I think are good
I went with ‘tophatsimulator’ for a bit and it was a bad joke I had to constantly explain…
I think peopleofwalmart fits. Better.

I want to change my se*x 3 times a month, because maybe I regret it. And I want everybody to spend their time adapting to it. And also I want to burn down my neighbors house three times a month, and then change my name every time like nothing happened.

Wether offical clans are a good idea/legit or not is a different discussion, but even if it would be a good idea, as already mentioned, it does not mean that you should be able to change the name entirely and constantly. We all know that name changes are not done only to change clan today.

imagine not changing names

Look at the dinosaurs, they did not change their names constantly, and now they are extinct. What would happen if humans would not change their names in real life constantly... /joke/

calm meteor

this defo real life

#

its called fashion

#

changing the visible thing, just happens to be name in this context

coarse perch
#

Maybe for some. Sacrificing people for Sun-god can be fashion too. Does not justify it still.

Changing names is fun wydm guys

#

I wish bar had a barcode mode like starcraft to eliminate usernames tbh

#

Or how league has a way to disable usernames entirely and show champion name instead

frail portal
#

Apart from clan tags, I really don't understand why anyone has to change their name. At least reduce how frequently it can be done for now.

unique saddle
#

clan tags should be separate imo

#

they can be displayed as it is now, but I think it is stupid that in order to change clan tag you need to change whole username (yes it is old school but hey it's 2025)

#

Removing our ability to rename would be basically 1933 germany having us tied to 1 specific name and discriminated against due to our rigid playstyles, renaming gives us a way to escape the stereotypical prejudices laid upon us by others as we come off the radar

Fucking stupid ahh discord brainlet

First you pretend that people should blindly follow fashion, and now you are comparing yourself with some historical minority, implying that lack of name change was behind some of the terrible historical events 😆 Do you even know what those words you use mean? If you are not capable of putting one logical sentence together and are just braindead insulting people, then if people treat you accordingly it is just normal. If you act like a jerk and/or burn down your neighbors house, you should not get away 3 times a month just changing name. Your name you chose it, and your reputation you made it, and are still making, as we can see. All people did not have that chance in the history.

How many countris are there in the world, and in how many of those you can change your name 3 times a month in only few seconds? In real world people got their name from someone else, usually from parents. And so it can actually happen that they have a reason to change their name. Still it is done very rarely, and it is usually complicated and expensive. I mean, if it would be as complicated and expensive to change name in BAR also, I would not object. Meanwhile 3 times in a month in few seconds and for free, is just supporting griefing and toxicity.

You have not answered my question. If you want you can also add your rating for every namechange.

You mean more than 25 with similar or same names? How much in total?

Each of these has an idea behind them. Naming is a form of expression

coarse perch
#

When you change your name and then come into my game to troll, then naming is not just an expression.

#

I have no moderation history, completely clean. I'm not doing this to troll anyone.

#

You suggesting that I am is in itself more toxic than anything I've ever done in bar

coarse perch
#

You can troll without getting moderated. I did not report you, just that changing names is not fair for others.

#

Do you have a game where I trolled you? I don't even play in your lobbies since I remember you for being no fun from ages ago

coarse perch
#

Its far in the past. But for the sake of the discussion, I think it is important to tell how much you have changed your name.

I change my name a lot, and you trying to limit my ability to change it because you find it inconvenient is straight up oppression. My name changes are not about you and are none of your business

TIL using ingame feature to change name is considered trolling by random discorder

coarse perch
#

I have already said that before. But if you play with others, then your name changes affect others.

"Pushing examples to extreme to test/underline/prove that something is correct or not, is a common technic in science (and in memes)." I have said that too already, maybe read the discussion, and lets continue later, if something is to add.
