Hey guys,
I’ve been playing this game for a while. Im from Chile, Latam.
Not a huge fan of MOBA games, but this one is really cool and I really enjoy playing it. Anyways, today i was playing a ranked matched a my pin just go nuts for like 2 min and man… my teammates blamed and insulted me like really bad, and for the first time in all my life, they brought me to tears. Im 27 now and never fell this bad playing a videogame, so im quitting. I know my english is not the best and maybe no one is gonna see this, but a feel it necessary for me and the people who just wanna play for fun. Cya gamers

jaja por que lo vienes a decir aca?
This is a very competitive title and most players are bringing their A-Game, and out for blood in every match. That’s the way it’s always been. This is NOT a game you can “chill out with”. You play this game for the thrill of the challenge (and the satisfaction when you reign victorious). Anyway, you’re NOT alone. Everyone goes through this at some point.
My recommendation if you still want to play: Mute your team mates at the start of EVERY. SINGLE. MATCH.
I did that for a long time and that was the closest this game ever got to being “chill” for me. I’d played better too because i wasn’t constantly listening to idiots.
Edit: My 2nd recommendation is play ARAM instead of Ranked or QM. ARAM has a much more laid-back environment because it’s all random non-sense that no one takes seriously.

Except that some people do, raging if you don’t pick what they want you to pick or if things are going badly. It’s just gamers on the Internet. Mute all, mute-ping for spammers, and work on map awareness.

Being your first post, not sure what to say, but!
It happens to all of us, and I can also recommend turning off team chat entirely.
Whether it’s on certain days or entirely, up to you. Many argue it’s good to see.
If you enjoy the game, playing your favorite heroes, I can also recommend just go and play QM with those. You’ll likely ascend to a higher level since you always play your best, meeting better quality people.
Like I tend to reinstall to play a couple games with Jaina and Li-Ming.

Yeah moba probly isn’t for you right now. You’ll gain a thicker skin and come back, or it might be best to stay away from the game.
At this moment its just better to find a game that you enjoy more.

If you are being “brought to tears” by random online people, MOBAs are definitely not the genre for you–hell, online GAMING as a whole probably isn’t for you in general.
People are toxic online, and that can be tilting, trust me, I get it. But if your sense of self-worth is so incredibly tied to random people’s opinions of you to the degree that you are literally brought to tears, the issue isn’t them but your fragile ego. Get some skin or get out.
MOBAs especially, but most online games, require everyone to bring their A-game BECAUSE of the social aspect. There’s very few I can think of (most notably TF2, but that has a VERY high mechanical skill floor) that don’t have that kind of pressure to perform optimally at all times. If you want to just “hang-out” online with people, go to like, VRChat, or get some irl friends, or join a discord server, idk man.
Bye! You will not be missed.
bro, IDK what server your on but in NA, ARAM is way sweatier and toxic than QM.
EDIT: I don’t mean to be a dick, but I am struck. Who the hell gets “sad and miserable” about gaming? Angry I can get, whether that is because you know you could have played better or because someone is blaming you for something that’s not your fault, but sad??? I literally don’t get it.

Yes, and? Personally, I wonder who the hell gets so angry and horrible about…anything, really, but especially a [dead] game. Or even worse: takes pleasure in inting, spam-pinging, moving once every minute to avoid being auto-kicked, or otherwise purposefully griefing others. I literally don’t get it. (But I think it’s all a bit sick.)
With any kind of competitive game, when someone isn’t trying their hardest it’s pretty easy to get frustrated considering the social idea is that the game requires you’re all and if you aren’t giving that, you aren’t just failing on your own account you are directly hurting your allies as well.
Not saying it’s at all excusable, but it’s at least understandable.
Saddly this also shuts you out from feedback of better players that help you improve at the game (although 99% of people won’t be open enough to think about the validity of criticism) . Reality is if you’re in a ranked game and not smurfing, there’s a good chance you aren’t the best player on your team and chatting is usually how you realize you’re doing something wrong.
If I play malfurion and I get flamed every game, the I know I’m playing it wrong and need to improve it / change something up.
Now of course you will have to face the other half of dummies that flame you for the wrong reason or blame your for their own mistake.
If you want to improve, then keeping chat up is good in my opinion and helps you realize your mistakes but it also opens you up for a lot of toxicity.

Usually whenever I run into childish players like that I just mute them by pressing Tab and mute chat on the side. But just so you know, I’ve played a lot of different MOBA games and this one I think has the least toxic players. I mean no matter what game you play there’s going to be at least some people saying any negative comment that they can think of. So I don’t think it’s worth quitting.

I’ve just seen a funny Youtube video, a dad asking his friend, the biggest playboy he knew, how do I make sure my girl is safe. Response? Make sure she feels loved, or someone else who doesn’t love her will say so, and she will believe.
We’re post-Covid, during another winter of semi-isolation, because habits and new viruses going around. Some people may be fragile, in need of company, love. And when all they get is negativity, they are broken. They need friends. We all do.

i’m sorry to hear what happened to you but unfortunately no matter what online game you play (except for MMOs probably) you will always find toxic people .
