Reporting toxicity: Does it actually do anything and where do I report them?

[Dani]

In-game harassment is basically the daily standard when it comes to this game. People aren't the most friendly when it comes to their hard earned rank.

Reporting them in-game for harassment or trolling doesn't do anything since overwatch only gets to see gameplay and no voice chat or textual chat.

I find that these two things should be included in the demo and or the overwatch 'evidence' that has been submitted. Mainly because getting told several times that you have to kill yourself isn't the most fun to hear for somebody that's struggling with depression or that they will come to your house and kill you, for example!

So, in short. Where should I report toxic players? In-game or through the Steam Community? Since I honestly have no clue if either of the two actually does anything.

Mute is your friend, use it as you see fit. The guaranteed solution to "harassment".

Thing I'm saying is that I've got a friend in my group that has mental issues. Me and a couple of friends of mine have tried to report several people for you know, online harassment. And we were just curious if it actually did anything or not. That's all.

If I have some toxic teammates when solo Queing then I usually mute them or report them for abusive text/voice chat or griefing. (Sadly it doesn't work at all I think, but I do it just in case..) From time to time i also write something negative in their guestbook.
I agree with you about the overwatch thing, toxicity is one of the worst things in CS:GO, maybe even the second worst after cheating. At least in competitive matches.

Well , why does he not just mute them? Or even put Voice_enable 0 in console?

Bruh, freedom of speech has a line. And people get thrown into jail for harassment, you know.

to answer ur ? I don't think it helps much
ppl get banned for cheating and Griefing, not verbal or text harrassment

Cause callouts, mainly. We do use TeamSpeak, but I usually end up queuing with him and some other buddy of mine. So we're stuck with two randoms which usually means we have to keep voice chat enabled.

It's just that we were wondering if there's punishment for toxic behavior or not. Since League of Legends has actually got one as far as I can remember.

report them for abusive text/voice chat. ( I dont know if this type of report actually does anything other than get recorded, but if enough people use it im sure valve will follow suit and use it to improve the game)

if they continue, mute them.
