As anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes on the site probably knows, there's a lot of toxicity in some of Twitch's more popular streams. But Blizzard is apparently testing a system that links Twitch chat to Battle.net accounts in order to create "a more positive viewing experience." Starting today, the linking system will be trailed in all Overwatch 2018 Season 3 quarterfinals matches across all regions. Blizzard didn't specifically mention how linking Twitch to Battle.net will actually improve chat, but the implication seems to be that punishments for infractions on Twitch will have more impact if the repercussions extend to other accounts. Thanks to PCGamesN for the tip.
To link your Battle.net and Twitch accounts, log into Twitch, visit www.twitch.tv/settings/connections, and select the “Connect” option under Blizzard Battle.net. Users who try to chat with unlinked accounts will be met with an automatic reply and prompted to link their accounts.
