After a long time offline, I went back to OW and it’s still the same old toxic community. People pointing at each other trying to find someone to blame for the defeat. Lots of harassment, even a lot of racism toward some nationalities.
Seriously, what’s wrong with this community? I play a game to have a good time after a stressful day, but in the end I get even more stressed when I play Overwatch. Yesterday I received racism comments because I wasn’t playing that good and it made me uninstall the game, for good this time, because nothing changed towards community’s behavior.
Captain Venom… all the people in this post are trying to tell you is this: You’re being trolled.
And what’s the worst thing you can do to a troll? Feed them. They feast on your tears. You take it personally… you feel they singled you out but the truth is they’re looking for anyone who will react, and in this case, you reacted.
Just mute, report and move on. Also, try and find some friends to play with.
If you think that all people 99% of the time “They will be good to you” “They will treat you with respect” “They will accept you and they will be friendly” you are dreaming. In the real world there are always toxic people everywhere and at this point in your life you should know that the world is not a “Perfect” or a “Fair” place.
Most of the OW audience are 15-25 year olds, not 500 year old “Jedi Masters” who are going to treat you with “Sweetie”
When you play OW. Remove Voice-chat only use it with close friends and you play for fun. If they insult / offend you, leave the game, report / block and move on.
I understand you’re trying to say. However, it’s not fair to blame me for being offended and not those toxic players being trolls. It should never be the victim’s fault, ever.
A little decency isn’t much to ask. Can’t people act respectfully like they should? If they can’t respect others around them, then they shouldn’t be part of a community.
To be honest, what you are talking about is exactly why I no longer join voice comms. I am enjoying the game 100% more not having to hear my teammates bicker the whole game.
The stuff said in voice really started to get to me and it affected my performance. So, even though it isn’t ideal I am just not in voice anymore and I like it a lot better that way.
Yes, they can. Or are we all animals now? Once again, you blame me, the victim, for being offended… lol dude. In some countries like mine, racism can you get you to jail. So you gonna say it’s the offended person’s fault a racist can’t control themselves?
For God’s sake… This community is worse than I thought. Now people are allowed to offend others and if you get offended it’s your fault. Amazing…
So I was like “yeah, another individual, who just don´t get it”, but than you said:
“oh so he/she gets it!”
Hmm, nevermind…
Just you know - leaving chat, muting people and running away is not the way…we don´t wanna be out of chat, just because people are toxic. This reminds me lot of my RL - people saying, what I should not do, how I should give up this and that because of my health issues but hell no…until I breath, I will not gonna run away, just because toxic people need their space to be toxic. Something is not right in this community and it´s not the victims…
