Yes, because that “thing” you’re referring to as harmful is… just playing the game
To tell you the truth -
If a teammate doing poorly or making mistakes is enough to ruin the experience of a game for you, online team based games are not for you.
Like flat out. There’s literally no way to have everyone perform super well every match. Again, even literal professional players make mistakes and have bad games, especially on the ladder.
Again, this goes back to the issue being players who can’t help but hyper fixate on their teammates and wind up angry and toxic because of it.
This is true…
However most players aren’t sociopaths who literally just play to ruin the game for others. And OW just doesn’t have a severe intentional feeding problem anyways.
No, by my logic you are doing things incorrectly. You’re not stating your intention, but it’s still there regardless of whether or not you state it.
It’s not detectable… Which of course it’s not. There’s always a way to throw games that borders along the lines of plausible deniability.
Yes, I arguing that losing a match is OK due to mistakes or being a worse player than the rest of the lobby.
Because neither of those are issues. They always happen in every game on earth, and again even pros mess up and have bad games.
If they got to the rank you’re at by playing deathmatch, then it obviously works for them to a certain degree.
All flaming will do is at best tilt them, at worst cause them to actually intentionally throw or afk.
You know how you can play without people playing death match? Focus on your own play, improve, and rank up.
This is an issue with framing and wording. People are receptive to advice if you’re not a jerk about it.
Because… There’s a lot of immature gamers with a lack of self control and anger issues?
Tf2, the game where you’ll see a slur in almost every game?
Tf2 doesn’t have the same kind of team based toxicity OW has because it’s a casual game.
You haven’t proven this, just asserted it.
The slurs in that game beg to differ.
