Overly toxic and bullying behavior needs to go

Was trying to enjoy a nice match, most of my team was cool but this Doomfist would rush in and keep getting killed and blame our support to the point of hopping in voice chat (didn’t know it was automatic since last patch) and tell them to kill themselves including me.

With online bullying and suicide rates due to this, why is this EVER considered acceptable?

It’s not acceptable. Hope you reported them! They keep acting like that and getting enough reports they’ll hopefully lose their account eventually.

You should learn about what your talking about before you talk about. Your weaponizing a serious issue for vent about a video game. imo you’re worse than that DF … if your doing this intentionaly.

Edit: He’s ok with toxicity as long as it’s not pointed at him a sample of the post he liked… yes he really cares about this….

I’m done with this topic.

Thanks for showing toxicity for someone reporting a player who told me to kill myself.

Nah, I feel the OP. This is coming from somebody who is quick to poke fun at people on the forums just because it’s fun. Not only do I NOT take that type of behavior into an Overwatch match (unless it’s my opponents ofc), I think there are certain lines you don’t cross.

Slurs or telling somebody to kill themselves don’t fall under the category of venting. Venting is supposed to be a healthy outlet of stress. Such as venting to your friends about how your significant other is treating you poorly etc. or venting about your struggles in life. I have to hard disagree with your entire response. Flipping the script on the OP is pretty pathetic also in my opinion. I wholeheartedly agree everything the OP has said.

The thing is, you’re supposed to work as a team in Overwatch and I find it very necessary to be as nice to my teammates possible even when they are absolutely insufferable to play with. I just don’t get into it with my teammates because it doesn’t ever solve the problem with why we are losing.

More on Toxic Doomfists:

A Doomfist reacting in this manner just tells me enough because most Doomfists have very toxic behaviors and refuse to swap. Also Doomfist’s whole mechanic is to punish players for being bad so a lot of Doomfist OTP’s fall under this illusion that they are better at the game than they really are.

Not every Doomfist is delusional and bad at the game, but unfortunately you see them a lot more often than you’d like. I had one scream at me on voice chat just because I told him to stop engaging the enemy team head on because the Reinhardt kept charging him and well you know how that goes.

It doesn’t favor the Doomfist at all. Well he screams at me to the point you couldn’t really understand him but I guess he said he has 300 hours on Doomfist so he knew what he was doing. Crazy because I don’t even have 300 hours total on OW and he was repeatedly making the same mistake back to back to back without realizing how bad it was.

Yes play victim and don’t even try to understand the point.

You are saying directly that DF is a reason why people actually kill them self. The issue is incredibly more complex than that and stuff like this the drowns out the people that actually deal with these issues because you have an issue with a single person.

Your not doing this because you actually care if you were you wouldn’t ever write something like this. Your doing this because want to vent and the difference between toxicity and what I’m saying is I’m telling you why I dislike you for a valid reason. Not because you ruined a video but because your weaponize a serious issue.

Now, I will say maybe you don’t understand what you doing and it’s my hope you do and do better.

Ever think people have enough crap in their lives where people like you and the person I posted about push them over the edge? You are part of the problem.

So you want to sterotype people…

I don’t care what that guy played DF or w/e telling someone to kill themself should at least be an instant suspend for a month or so.

My point isn’t about that it’s weaponizing a serious issue to vent.

No, actually they said this:

Because people actually do get bullied on the internet into committing suicide.

Nothing OP said is wrong. Stop trying to turn this thread into a campaign against the OP. Telling people to kill themselves is wrong. Idc what you have to say after that to prove your point.

Your point sucks butt.

Stereotype people? I’m giving my experience.

I didn’t know that being a Doomfist main was part of a race, gender, religion, or occupation. It is not that deep. I will “stereotype” toxic Doomfists all day long and not lose one bit of sleep over it. Cry about it. It’s a video game like be fr.

Cool. I’ll wait for you to post a single suicide related to a off hand comment in a video game. I’ll wait… no these things are much more complex than that single/groups of people launching endless harassment on someone.

This is the point these things happen and if you are attacking people like DF thinking your helping… your not. Your wasting time when you could actually help the issue.

Not being funny.. you don’t know what stereotyping is… it can be for more than “race, gender, religion, or occupation

So I asked you to take the issue more seriously and you imply I push people over the edge. I’m out.. I’m not continuing this with someone like you.

Okay, not-respectfully, you are ridiculous. One simple google search on the topic will shove it right in your face how suicidal rates are increasing due to bullying in gaming. It’s overwhelming actually and the data doesn’t lie. Instead of spewing :poop: , do the research yourself and ‘know what you are talking about’ before you post, as you suggested to the OP.

Your logic is overwhelming here.

You’re attacking the OP over being told to kill themselves and “the guy is just venting”.

Please.

Saying that I’m Stereotyping Doomfist mains and how that’s a bad thing to do on my part is laughable because 1. It’s a video game 2. Nobody cares 3. You’re defending toxic behavior where somebody is being told to kill themselves.

I have nothing further to say on this matter.

You sound crazy.

Does is say that? Or does it talk about IGD and highlights how complex this issue is but if you are thinking I’m saying this isn’t true.. you missed my point and that’s fair enough but I think weaponizing a serious issue to vent about people makes light of the issue.

No. I said… “You should learn about what your talking about before you talk about. Your weaponizing a serious issue for vent” that isn’t the same.

You did stereotype doomfist player and it is a bad thing because whatever conclusion you draw won’t apply to all DF players and also become an insult existing players.

As you wish and I’ll do the same not because have to pretend you crazy to make myself feel I’m right but because you implied I was attacking OP because someone told him to kill himself when it’s more his reaction to it. You not even following what I’m saying and what’s the point arguing with someone that does that.

This is literally what you asked for. As I’ve said do the research yourself. You made me be NOT nice so I’m not going to sit here and talk to you. Especially when you’re just talking in circles and barely making any sense except sounding stupid and ignorant.

It wasn’t though. What you posted was showed it’s a incredible complex issue and while it can be a part of it, it goes much deeper than that and comes down to much much more than someone random insulting you a game. (not to imply they shouldn’t get actioned for that behaviour)

You chose it, I made you do nothing don’t blame me for your behaviour but personally I have no problem with it. I’m blunt and I’m not going to have an issue if your blunt back and really I like what you’re saying because you telling me to understand the issue… which even if I feel is misplace.. it’s a good message.

You are free to feel that way. You don’t ow me the time to try and get my point but you ain’t going to convince me you care about the issue if you just want to call me stupid or ignorant.

form my experience the guy having a tantrum and blaming others is usually quiet easy to rage bait and in turn, laugh at

That’s the problem with people like him trying to victim shame or blame shift away from toxic people.

Gosh Reading such a hard thing to do.

I definitely said that all DF players are like this, and not just the Toxic ones which, from where I stand, seem to be the majority.

Let’s all start a support campaign for the Doomfist mains that are being ridiculed and bullied and stereotyped. Boohoo for them.

lol… I’m honestly done here.

They said that you SOUND stupid and ignorant.

Not that you ARE stupid or ignorant.

That’s what I’m here for:

You are BOTH Stupid AND Ignorant.

& Your opinion sucks butt.
