Just a got a guy that told me Im a degenerate and to go hang myself for not being good at a video game and affecting his virtual numbers. Most games that people go into is either someone calling another trash, autistic and even a NIGG*R. Im not one that is easily offended, but this game has opened my eyes to a whole new generation of hate, terror and outright a “0head” (xd) experience. It is not (all) blizzards fault, but I Think the people need to desperately wake up. This is not out of rage either, as even many would agree that Overwatch is not a bad game, but simply the people are the problem. I would like blizzard to enforce even STRICTER rules, such as a permanent ban for CONSISTENT and TOXIC Throwers.
Thank you for reading this, have a day that does not include trash talking teammates because you lost some SR.
Comment what you think of my “Rant” and how Overwatch can [somehow] improve to get rid of the scums of society.
Report them and move on with your life. Don’t let trolls and toxic people get inside your head.

Mute-Block-Report-Forget. That’s the tools you have and need.
People can be like that, and anonymity can make it worse.

Im simply trying to encourage a better community, and in this case have reports be taken more proactively, as I have reported about 300 in my total lifetime on console and pc, and only had around 25 be banned for like a week.
Most games I am in, no one even speaks. However, toxicity is an issue and I believe the current system is somewhat working. Eventually, people do get banned for being toxic. Justice takes its time.
Just ignore, mute, avoid and move on. You’ve got better things to do than entertain some toxic low-life who does nothing all day but rage in a game with an age rating of 12.

Edit: I am not severely angry over this, people who say that I should move on is definitely correct, but I don’t think trying to get someone who is genuinely toxic banned is a bad intention, right?

I have seen screen shots of really inconsistent forum decisions. It’s actually quite bad, people getting banned for something and then not 5 mins later the exact same thing is mentioned an no action took, people being banned in one thread and then a different poster not being banned, clear violations of their own ToS when banning, then clear violations of not following their own ToS, very biased and childish behavior from a company that makes Billions
Ellie is going to speak very loudly for many players, real or not, OP
She proved a very hilarious and solid point to some important people
That it wouldn’t have happened if you just muted the person.
By showing a simple tip on the screen every 6 or 7 seconds saying “The mute button exists.”
That does not get rid of the problem, simply only ignores it. Because if It just affected one person, sure I would mute him (and I did avoid him later) but thats basically a 5v6 still. (He was throwing) And he can keep ruining other games. If he got banned or some sort of action taken against him, then this would be no problem.
Those kinds of idiots are nothing but a detriment to the game. Report them and move on.
I’m on Xbox, I have only run into one overtly toxic guy in the last LONG time. He was a healer and kept saying “I’m more important, none of you are important” etc. We were winning but then he threw.
It’s weird that these people exist. Bit like I said, I rarely see it on Xbox (feeling blessed)
Nothing more I can say that hasn’t been said in this thread. Other than:
You do not deserve to be told that. Don’t listen to people like that.
Contrary to popular belief when a stranger tells you to do something in a video game, you don’t actually have to do it.
You’ll be fine, petal.

They aren’t scums of society. They’re random internet personas acting out because they can.
Grow some thicker skin. You don’t even know these people.
They aren’t affecting you, and if they are… you have bigger problems than what they say or type.

Report them but sadly it wouldnt do anything if the guy isnt a Off-Meta Main / one-Trick The Reportsystem is sadly extreme garbage
Just take comfort in that people like that are miserable and won’t get anywhere in life
No. They aren’t miserable. In most cases, they’re a lot more mentally sound than the people who complain about them.

100% agree. What’s a more rational thing to do, spout of some nonsense in a video game because you’re mad, or go on a crusade because your fee-fees were hurt and they must be censored now?
Do people not realise that this is exactly what these people want? Pray the guy who told you to kill yourself isn’t reading this thread OP, because you would have just given him the biggest laugh and validated his behaviour. Good job.
Throwing is created by bad game mechanics and more strict rules won;t do anything.
Why are there no throwers in Paladins?
