Ranked more toxic than LOL and OW?

[Winterwolf]

I swear seems like every game someone is going full tilt into a hate rage spiral. I've played League, and Overwatch ranked and honestly I think its worse here lol.

Probably a reflection of the matchmaker not making enjoyable matches I'd say. Just anooying for players to feel like they are in unbalanced games.

I can see that to an extent, but I mean the same could be said for OW and LOL. Hardly say blaming it all on the matchmaker as being the real issue.

The matchmaker will have a big effect. The more balanced a game is, the more fun and hence less frustration. If there is an unusual amount of toxicity, there will be something about the game driving it and increasing it in the playerbase. EOMM will do that as well, because it uses the player like an economic unit purely for retention, rather then concentrating on good quality experiences for the player.

Funny thing is Overwatch had such an awesome community. In the 1st 1-2 years after release of Overwatch 1.
And then it got competitive game mode, which attracted more and more sweatlords and the devs also didn't know what they want from the game and it became a toxic wasteland.
But this is generally why i avoid ranged modes in such games. Better to have a chaotic game but chill and friendly than have a well structured strategic but toxic as hell experience.

It's one of the reasons I play ranked.

I don't know why, but it always makes me laugh listening to these people. Just imagining what their lives must be like to get so upset over cartoon characters on a screen with absolutely zero dollars at stake.

The sheer level of investment in something so trivial fascinates me... lol

Sad thing is ive seen the toxicity in Quickplay at about 50% of the rate that I see it in Ranked, so it does trickle over.

I have noticed some of the most toxic players seem to be the ones who have actually spent money on Marvel Rivals lol So I guess you could say they pre-invested money into their rage.

So i was lucky till now i guess. I had just a 1-2 games where there were some people yelling about other people's playstyle. But nothing extreme.

I only played a few hours this season but most games people don't say anything and just ping what they want which is okay by me. I played a few hours to silver and I think I had 1 game people talked at all and they were together just bantering.

I am pissed there was no placement matches and you start in bronze 3.

[Humanimalientity]

if you're under diamond, there's no reason you *need* to have any comms enabled.
people are toxic everywhere, it's the internet. interacting with them is a choice.
at low ranks this game isn't a team game, you can solo carry nearly every game.
