Why so toxic?

[Arf Suez]

Why is the community of this game and this type of game always toxic?

[melonLord]

Competitive games breed toxicity. Thats true for both video game and irl sports tbh.
Only time I ever got jumped was over a basketball game and pretty much every fighting game community I've been a part of has had its share of toxic dbags.

[OMEGA]

because its a competitive game and competitive people will always try to find someone doing worse than themselves to blame for a loss to make themselves feel better

[SteveLord]

Any game with small teams of 4-6 people that limit carry potential will do this. Nothing new.

Play QP only and don`t try comp mode and it will be ok. If you don`t want to win - this type of games is not for you.

Bruh QP is more toxic than comp

Difficult to be happy when MM puts apes in your team

When they match 6 separate solo queue players with a 6 stack the game gets immediately toxic and it happens every single time. Ive noticed this on both sides. They need to just queue solo/duos together, and teams together.

No matter how much people want to pretend otherwise... losing isnt fun. Losing is making you angry and angry makes you type things.

I think lack of role queue is a huge problem. At least half of games, I'm forced to either fill a role I don't want to play or basically lose automatically because my teammates are selfish. That breeds toxicity pretty bad, especially because it doesn't actually help anything in the long term to play the "chore" roles. I can tank for 10 games in a row and it will never do anything to get be a good team so I can play DPS or support on the 11th game.

There just needs to be something, anything so you can't play DPS every game forever. If you don't do the chore roles you're just making someone else do them twice as often.

No one even communicates at all during my matches...

welcome to the internet,to quote my grandma,you can tell or aks people to not be A holes but you cant forbid them from being one,also there was always toxicity in competitive games,just ignore it mute them block them report them,you will not stop it you will not change it trust me many have tried and failed

I disliked the ow2 phone system for people who bought the game or dollar paywalls, but i think that with completely f2p games, hackers can try over and over. or don't care without a investment. But im not really sure the solution since they're racing vs ow2.

There's definitely a lot of people in comp i've encountered personally spamming N words over heals or flaming and highly toxic vs ow2, but i guess ow2 had those people too but people report them or the endorsement system while useless resets to 1 to mark the toxic people.

It would help with my toxicity when I don't have to fill a role I hate playing for the third time in a row.

The other day, I went in to try out some heroes I had just tested in the practice range. After the third time forced onto tank I just gave up, I wasn't going to get to play DPS on a real team any time that day.
