I feel like a lot of players in this game have never had any constructive criticism in their life. No other community has curtailed to the softness of online play to where you are considered toxic for suggestions. So many games with throwers or hard feeders after asking or even suggesting things. This is the most complex game with the most childish atmosphere for “competitive”.

I mostly agree that a lot of people nowadays are way softer than they need to be. I don’t condone truly toxic things, like racism. But I do feel like asking someone to switch for a good reason is not toxic. I have also been called toxic for asking the same thing. A lot of people just don’t want to own up to them making a bad play or making a bad pick is my guess. So they just resort to calling everything toxic.

its not a player issue. It’s a company and parental issue. Parents neglect their children by giving them overwatch or league of legends. Blizzard and Riot don’t care about this. They don’t care about the childen.They care about what makes them money. Infact you know how they fix this? gaming is now for babies. We have babies playing games now so lets make it rated E. Likes casualify the competetive side imma riot. Let’s punish those who communicate or type. We will rmeove communication fromt he game and instead use pings. Cuz thats how 5v5 basketball/ football works right. we oping to each other.
I mean its expected during the woke clown world phase 2022 - 2030.

And they usually suffer of that, I like to be their punishment. Teach them bad way the life way. If a monkey want to be a human you need to beat the sheesh out of it first.
The game itself attracts soft ppl they gotta go some where. It didnt start that way but over time they just took over its kinda the reason the game is in the state its in.

Every competetive game right now is being ruined by a generation of players that are too soft which means the company ahs to remove communication form the game. Too casual like they don’t take it seriously at all. There’s more hehehe moments than seriousness which puts alot of pressure onto a single player which is the actual gamer.
Its toxic, sad and disgusting to watch. very low energy behaviour. Its like partents just give these kdis league/ overwatch and did not teahc them you’re playing soemthign serious like 5v5 basketball IRL. You need to take it seriously. It use to be equal sides vs each other where 1 side wins but now its just the side that takes it more seriously wins. Like comp = casual now. Too many causals in comp.
If this keeps up " battle royale games with solo mode " will become the next big thing. because honestly every game even league is starting to get infected by this " low skill isssue, casual issue, trolling issue, boosting/ bullying by smurf issue". it’s getting way out of hand. For me it started in overwatch but now its in league. Like both games its just me vs them while my teammates are enemies as well.
" teammates DO NOT UDNERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF SCORING OWN GOALS". as logn as you do soemthign stupid or dont help the team in any real way. That equals an own goal. Other people on your team dies because you keeop scoring own goals. To fix this all you have to do be a good player byut nobody wants to do that anymore nobody wants to be the hero everyone wants to be the villain nowdaysjust the loser with the lsoers mentality than a winner with a winners mentality.
There are too many losers in both league and overwatch now. Losers who don’te care, losers who are just losers in everyway. Like the generation is so dumb that they sue league/ overwatch as an “escape”. Bro Esports games are a reflection of yourself. If im abd at 5v5 basketball that means i look my self in the mirror and i need to fix msyelf if i ever want to get good at basketball. This is how it is and should be. But now its ," league oiverwatch = fun im gonna play casually for fun". im escaping reality by playing these 2 games. i have no life.
Seriously im going Fortnite right now. LIKe solo mode fortnite. team absed games work only if the player base are competwetive and threat it seriously. Look at basketball players you think they slack? You think they slack when they play absketball? like they dotn take it seriously?So its a generation problem.
Leagyue paleyrs back in 2010 liked the game. They are competetive, there is no slack, self improvement is the key. now in 2023 its the exact opposite i dont feel competetive playign these games. I feel like im the only one taking it seriously. im the only one thats competetive. I dont belong here. because im competetive, serious and lvoe the sport that is league / overwatch

Yes, I’m sorry, not enough children disciplined properly these days or told “No”.
I remember back in the early 90s when you needed a credit card to pay your ISP to play online games.
The online community then was full of adults and fps games at the time were rarely toxic, and players frequently complemented each other with comments such as “Nice shot”.
It was a haven of adults.
Then the turn of the century came and now the internet is populated by spoilt children. More smacking required imho.

I think a big difference is back then you played with the same players a lot and got to know them over time. Instead of waiting in a queue to play with randoms every game. There is no real sense of a community anymore.
Also you could choose what skill level you wanted to join if you were in the mood for a casual game or maximum sweat mode. Now you are either forced to play at your peak level all the time or settle for an inferior mode like qp.
It all started with the online pvp of the 1st Call of Duty games which found itself be infested by 8-12 year old kids with their mental and emotional immaturity, and it spilled over into all competitive online games.
However, as they are very profitable because it is very easy to make them spend money on virtual and intangible goods, all video game studios target this community and want to populate their games with these as a priority.
This is why online pvp competitive games have become a circus and an unbearable mess now.
I told someone just “go in and I got you” last night as the tank and that I got their back and they were like what do you mean by that? they went into a rant basically for a bit and I told them there was nothing meant by it besides once you go in, I would make a play off of it and get us the point nothing more, then stuff chilled out and we won the game but people immediately feel like stuff is calling them bad or something.
I do agree people can’t take constructive criticism these days though, without it becoming a ego thing but there are a lot of situations still where people are just weird… or racist or just yeah… being super cringy and toxic to try and set others off and they should really be reported.
but I agree with a lot of people this game is nothing close to “a competitive experience”. Please understand that and don’t let it mess with your mental especially when there’s so many people in ranks they shouldn’t be, there’s loads of new players who have no clue of how hero’s even work and just spam things on CD, there’s very little information in game to guide those players so then they fill random ranks and make it a burden on older players, I can go on and on about the many issue’s this game has and the roots of it’s problems but the overwatch dev team don’t seem to listen anyways or care? not sure. They are slowly watching their competitive community die while watching it fill up with casual’s and the average skill level in every tier of play is much less.
