This is how to deal with toxic people:
As soon as someone is toxic just mute them.
Please never interact with a toxic person, if they tell you youre bad ignore it, if they ask you to switch ignore it. Also if someone instalocks a hero they should not ask for switches.
Please dont be toxic, games are made for fun and the toxic community destroys the fun for everyone else.

It is not always that easy. Muting someone doest change his interaction with rest of the team. If toxicity is directed just directly to you and others are silent, its better to defend yourself and even attack back with some good arguments or more power than him to shut him up. Sometime you have to do it to avoid being reported because rest of the team might believe him actualy and join the blame game.
I will give you example:
Hog player will start trashtalking you when your team lost round badly and how he has gold dmg and kills and how bad dps you are. If you just mute him, it is very possible that rest of team will start looking at you as reason why they lost the round, because people like to play blame game as they dont want to blame own skill. Maybe hog was going in solo all the time and thats why he has medals. You should say this and explain it so rest of the team knows. And maybe they will agree with you as they truly saw him not grouping up. Support not healing you whole match migh be reason why you could not do more too or maybe you had silver medals and second dps was lot worse playing wrong hero. You can use anything to fight back if that is what trully happened.
Every situation is unique and it is not always good choice to just mute and ignore. Sometime you have to face the agressor.
Edit: this is how I react to toxic players, I am never passive just listening insults. If you attack me, I will destroy you with arguments infront of your team

Pretty much what I usually do, sometimes I canāt control myself and I tell them to shut up before I mute them

Deep down they seek sympathy
But but but, they need to know they have upset me. If i have to drop to their level to do this, so be it. iāll rip them a new one, i have your moma jokes that will last the whole game you $%(#$&#@.
may be he is boosting at your rank
lol youāre the main part of the problem here. you call people who ask for switches toxic. probably call them toxic too if they ask you to do something differently. youāre whatās wrong in the world.
In my experience: Dont get toxic to or start arguing with him. If you the other person makes you toxic or harrases you for your gender/color/age/voiceā¦ mute him
Say things wich are good (We loosed the point, but they used 6 ults!), say something like (dont get toxic (but in a very calm Voice and never adress a single person), its still winable, We have (Any ult combo)so we win the next fightā¦)
Say hello in a calm voice at the start, try to improve teamwork , make callouts, make some strategic thingsā¦
What i mean with improve teamwork: Make little combos (Example: tracer, try to bomb in my grav/ Mercy, can you maybe damage bosst me during my ult if possibleā¦)
What i mean with strategic things: I have shatter and hide, let them push to the choke so I can shatter from behind, I use my nade to bait out fade so you can pulsebomb herā¦ They have to be very simple strategics wich dont rely to much on your teammates)
Approve good plays (Nice nade, nade grav, nice shatter, thx for saving me dvaā¦)
If a guy is extremely toxic to everyone, say to your team āIgnore him and mute himā, becauce many forget the mute feature. Dont say this too early, maybe makes important calls or gets even more toxic
If someone is toxic to someone else for no reason try to find a good play from the person to approve his work. If someone gets harrased (A girl by a sexist for example), its really important to say he is wrong, to support the victim and to speak up, becauce this isnt just a game anymore and getting harrased for your gender/color/voiceā¦ feels much worse then getting called a trash player, becauce this directly confeonts you as a person

Im not calling people toxic that ask for switches. I was talking about toxic people that blame you and then ask you to switch because they think you are bad at a hero. Also your post is very rude I am not toxic so I dont understand why I am the problem.

itās a funny thought that nearly every match has at least 1 or 2 people on each team with mental or emotional problems.
as if you are trying to babysit a bunch of instable, awkward manchilds and egirrlz, that melt down the second they get critizised only a little bit.
to be honest, a lot of gamers are just socially underdeveloped.
no according to the forums best thing to do is get b-hurt and cry and call for all mean people to be banned from the universe.
